Where in the Bible does it say that we have to tithe 10% of our earnings or whatever.?

Question

My mom gives a boatload of money to the church and she thinks I should do the same. I think she's brainwashed because I don't recall ever actually seeing that in the Bible.
Although, I haven't really read the Bible in a long time, hence me asking the question here a Yahoo Answers.

Answer 1

in the old testimont the tithe was set up to feed the orphans and widows in the twelve tribes,,and to feed the high preist who's duty was upkeep to the temple....no gold silver or money is listed ,,,only the foodstuffs,like oil,animals,grain,etc..when christ came he reprimended the pharrasees for such practice,,they refused to give the tenth to the widows and orphans,,they were keeping it for themselves............they still do this today......

Answer 2

It is in the Bible, and now would be a WONDERFUL time to begin reading it again. :)

Look @
Leviticus 27:30-33 (Old Testament law); Malachi 3:8-10 (Promise from God about tithe); Matthew 23:23, Luke 11:42, 18:12 (Other Bible tithe verses)

10% is a tithe, and anything over that is an offering of love from her heart. "Tis better to give...."
If you have any more questions, you should talk to your local clergyman. They can help you find more info quite easily.
It is hard to hand that over sometimes, we have just actually started that in our house, as well. But, it will be well worth it and it is the right thing to do! The blessings will be worth more.

Answer 3

Numbers Chapter 18 number 26.

Answer 4

Actually, Jesus professes giving away all of your wealth to the poor, but a lot of people just kinda skim over that part or figure that a little is better then nothing.
