I am always perturbed by current Christian practice of tithing. I am fully aware of the requirements as spelt out under the levitical priesthood, but current practice has little or no semblance to the practice then. For example, we only get to hear about tithes to be paid to the church, but never about the other tithes to be shared with the poor, the fatherless, the widows and strangers (Deut 14:28, Deut 26:12). Beyond the need to support the work of God (which can be done in other ways: 1Cor 9:7-14; 1Cor 16:1-3), and seeing that neither Christ nor the Apostles received tithes, please what is the scriptural basis for Christian tithing?
