Do you believe that the bible requires a 10% tithe of Christians?
It seems God believes that we should tithe:
Malachi 3:6-8
6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Matthew 23:23
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Is your question, "Is $10 a week an example of a good 'offering'?"
I do not believe that the Bible teaches we must give 10% of our total income to the Church.

I do not believe that the Bible teaches we must give 10% of our total income to the Church.
But, does the Bible teach we should give 10% of our increase to the Church?

As do most church-goers. That probably explains why giving is so low in churches across the country.

Agreed. But it could be that in some cases, those who disagree with tithing do so because they believe giving 10% is too little.

I can't remember where in the New Testament it says that Christians should give 10% of their increase.
What is the increase?
Deut 14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
Or it could be that they are using all of their money to live on.
We have a lot of laws we don't follow in the OT books of the law. How do we know which ones we are to follow and which ones we are freed from?
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

I'm just wondering what is normal for an average middle class income, that is all.
Somewhere in there I mentioned that I don't believe the bible teaches that Christians must give 10% which is correct. However, yes, I believe that we should give what we can. I usually don't give very much, and should probably give more. Maybe I'm just cheap.
Chapter XIX
Of the Law of God
.....
IV. To them also, as a body politic, He gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the State of that people; not obliging under any now, further than the general equity thereof may require.[7]
"Normal" in our household is 10%. But that's obviously not what you're looking for.
Again, what do you think your money pays for?
Define "normal" and "middle-class," please.

Ok. Here's a question.
Is the 10% people pay after bills and living requirements or before?
