Is paying 10 of the money you make to a church the same thing the people of the old testament did by giving agriculture crop to feed the poor ?

GB, read Proverbs 3:9-10. Also, Tithing the first and best of all our increase is a faith response that applies to all who are in Abraham's seed, through Christ Jesus our Lord. Tithing should not be out of a sense of duty, but rather out of love for the Lord and a desire to see His kingdom advanced. Also, to help with your question, please read 2 Corinthians 9:6-7.t

So the principle of the giving of our wealth to a church is equivalent to what was given then? and giving 10 percent would be considered generous. That's what I understand or interpret it to be. Thanks for responding.

GB, if you are led to give, it should come straight from the heart, the 10 of tithing was a law for the Jews in the Old Testament. I did a research online about the tithes, and the Law of tithes was done away with after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. So, I see that we you are not obligated to give 10 of tithes today in the New Testament. Generous giving to the poor and the needy.
