A few thoughts to consider:
First of all, why would one think that tithing is done away with? Because of the issue of NT silence? There are a number of other issues that are not mentioned in the NT; are we to do away with those as well? Also, Just because the NT is silent does not negate the principle. For the record, the rationale that the NT does not specifically abrogate the principle proves it's perpetuity in my opinion. Jesus says that tithing is 'the weightier matters of the law'. Is the law abrogated?
