If tithing is strictly old testament, what about adultery or murder?

The Ten Commandments were timeless truths. They will always be.

Not so for the ceremonial laws tithing being one.

Adultery and murder are mentioned in the New Testament, in a way that demonstrates they’re still verboten. Giving / supporting the temple is also discussed, but not in as legalistic a way as in the Law.

Excellent input from you and others here... Good question, BTW. To which I would respond: First, is this an apples to oranges question? Adultery and murder are dealt with specifically and directly within the Old and New Testament’s, and are both condemned.

Is there a NT scripture given by The Holy Spirit to Paul, Peter or others (as the scripture says the scriptures are “God-breathed and useful for doctrine...”) that says that Christians are required to pay tithes. Are there any specific instances in the New Testament (Acts to Revelation) where people in the New Testament church (post resurrection of Christ) where people paid tithes or are commanded to?
