(...Cappy, some fun facts about church/Christianity. (Brace yourself, church has been lying to you.)<br /><br /> The tithe was an income tax, basically, to support the Levites, the official priest class in Israel. And it was about 26-28%. The 10% evolved out of a middle ages feudal tax.<br /> The priest class were the officially chosen mediators between God and man. However, now every man can approach God through prayer and repent. Hence the "priesthood of the believer."<br /> So truly, there is no claim of the Biblical tithe on anyone anymore because:<br />A. There is no official priest class, unless you're Jewish and your priest is a Levite.<br />B. The tithe was for ancient Israel. Never for modern Christians. It was an income tax for support the Temple--an official part of the government--and never applied to modern Christians and the church. <br /><br />See the book Pagan Christianity for more details.
