Question: but in the new testament there is not a single chapter or verse where the tithe was paid, those passages that you mentioned say it is an willingly given and not imposed as the tithe was in the old testament.
In the New Testament, the tithe is not specifically mentioned. However, several passages speak of the importance of giving and of setting aside a portion of our income for purposes of sharing with those in need. The principle of the tithe is certainly implicit in these passages. For example, in 2 Corinthians 8-9, Paul encourages the Church to give out of the abundance they have been given, in order to support those in need. In Matthew 6 Jesus encourages us to give and store up our treasure in Heaven. In 1 Corinthians 16, Paul encourages the church to lay aside a portion of their income on a weekly basis for the poor. These passages, as well as others, provide an example of how important it is for us to give generously to those in need.
