Wouldn't that be 10% of what I have left over after I pay my bills? I mean, if we are supposed to give 10% of our INCREASE, then that would mean 10% of money earned after expenses.

Tithe = Lie(Law)
Christ is the end of the law: Rom 10:4.
Ye are not under law, but under grace.

Luke 11:41
2Corinthians 8:13 and 9:7
Galatians 5:1
Christians are a "New Testament People" Not "Old Testament".
Testament means "CONTRACT" a contract between God and mankind. A contract ends with the death of one of the parties. Jesus was God and man, Jesus Died to end the Old Contract, and rose from the dead to start the New Contract.
BY THE WAY-"MONEY" WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN TITHING...ONE COULD BUY BACK HIS TITHES OF ANIMALS OR FRUITS. BUT MONEY WAS NOT TITHED.
If you don't have a Bible you can find one on line to read, it is better for you if you do the work yourself.

Tithing is an Old Testament command to the Jews.
There is no mention of tithing in the New Testament to the Christians. Christians are to give as the Lord has prospered them from a willing and grateful heart. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.

Tithing 10% of your money is not biblical:

"SOME SHOCKING TRUTHS ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN TITHING DOCTRINE
3. Only Levite priests could collect tithes, and there are no Levite priests today.
4. Only food products from the land were tithable.
5. Money was never a titheable commodity.
6. Christian converts were never asked to tithe anything to the Church.
7. Tithing in the Church first appears centuries after completion of the Bible."

The Bible does not teach one tithes on the increase of one's money or wages.
The old covenant commanded a tenth of the increase of produce and livestock; never wages.
And this is the old covenant; not the new covenant. Tithing is not required in the new. Only deceivers teach tithing as required of Christians.

Under the New Covenant, we are responsible tom God for not only 10%, but we are responsible for all of it; that is, how we use the entirety of our money. The tithe doesn't hold now.

No, tithing is giving 10% of your wealth. It should actually be 10% of everything you own if we go back to bible days, but this day and age, we interpret it as 10% of our pay. It is between you and God how much you put into church, but if you share your time and money with the church, then I think it balances out no matter what you give, as long as you give freely.

Tithing is an Old Testament Jewish law. Christians are supposed to "give generously", although it's not bad to stick with the 10% rule of thumb. It's really between you and God how much you give to support the church. :)

10% of the gross not the net. If the Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills, does not He also own the hills? Cast it upon the water it will come back unto you.

tithing is an old testament concept. the tithe was a requirement of the law in which all israelites were give 10% of everything they earned and grew to the tabernacle / temple..
the new testament nowhere commands, or even recommends that christians submit to a legalistic tithe system. paul states that believers should set aside a portion of their income in order to support the church.
the new testament nowhere assigns a certain percentage of income to set aside, but only says it is to be “in keeping with his income”
