I think Mark Zuckerburg, Jeff Bezos to name a few are very well off. And I haven’t seen anything to suggest they tithe.
What I do know is this, if the number of people that say they tithe actually tithed, the church might be a better place.

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

Kinda' the antithesis of tithing.
His word doesn't say to tithe, or instruct other to teach tithing.
To the contrary, His word says we are dead to the Law.
The body of Christ naturally provides for the necessities of their bishops, and their families.
They also do what is necessary for providing for church growth.
We used to do furniture moving and hauling loads with our trucks.
What does Matthew 23:23 and Matthew 28:18-20 say?
We both know that both of those passages says exactly what you say the Bible does NOT say.

Re: Tithers are Better Off!
Tithing unto the Lord in your local assembly is the best way Christians can honour God with their finances.
My wife and I proved it, what we lacked in other areas God supplied our needs.

Re: Tithers are Better Off!
So very true. I am amazed at how so-called Christians fight supporting the work of the Lord.
When my wife and I were very young with very little income, we still tithed and like you God always provided. And today after over 50 years of tithing, God has blessed us beyond measure.
God bless

Did Jesus also command circumcision for your church members?
Did Jesus' command to not visit the Gentiles apply to us? (Matt 10:5)
We have been freed form the Law, and our bishops are to be treated with the love we are to have for our brothers.
Frankly, 10% isn't enough for how much I have loved my pastor.

I know of plenty of cheerful givers who give more than 10%, but do not consider themselves “tithers”. They do so because TITHING is not found taught in the New Testament.

Re: Tithers are Better Off!
A lot of people question the adverse affects of non-tithers. I feel that the person themselves is most harmed by not invoking the Blessings of tithing. And then too the work of the Lord is hampered by those who do not support it. BUT I guess that would just have to be one of those things where we would disagree.Grandfather wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 11:15 amI question the assumption that Christians are fighting against supporting the work of Lord because they are not “tithers”bibleman wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:12 amSo very true.

As to tithing NOT be found in the NT... In fact it is.
Jesus taught NT tithing in Matthew 23:23
And Paul taught tithing in Hebrews 7:8
BUT again, I know you disagree, just posting those references for those who want to know about NT tithing.
