Tithing[1] existed
before the Law,[2] in the law,[3] is
mentioned in the New Testament,[4] and
neither Jesus nor the New Testament writers ever negate it.
Levirate marriage[5] existed
before the Law,[6] in the law,[7] is
mentioned in the New Testament,[8]
and neither Jesus nor the New Testament writers ever negate it.
Why do preachers and teachers use this type of argument to
support continuation of the tithe, but not for levirate marriage?
[1] Tithing is giving a tenth
of one’s increase.

Levirate marriage is marriage in which the brother of a deceased man is obliged
to marry his brother’s widow, when the deceased brother has no children.
