But is this a Biblical standard?
John 8:39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Abraham had no requirement to tithe, but he did out of gratitude. For God is not mocked, whatever a man sows that shall he reap. There is no requirement to tithe in the NT. There is also no requirement to be blessed either.
At the same time, no one likes a church that bashes people into giving to them. Most of the church has spent the last 2000 years trying to pretend Moses and the law was a waste of God's time, except the part about tithing. A church being greedy is a turn off to most, including me. Those who actually follow Jesus should want to give freely because that is what Christ does. Treasures on earth are temporary. Treasures in heaven are forever.
