Peter said that one-tenth of a person's earnings should be offered. This is where Christians take their idea of tithing.

How much is an offering if 10 percent is tithe?

An offering is something over and above the tithe, for those who consider the tithe obligatory, although there are different opinions among Christians as to the obligatory nature of the tithe since it is not mentioned as such in the New Testament. For some who do not believe the tithe obligatory, an offering would be another name for the tithe. In any case, an offering is an indefinite amount whereas the tithe is 10%. So there can be no answer to what the offering may be. Remember Jesus praised the poor widow who gave all she had, even though it was a ''mite'' the smallest possible coin of those days, while He was not complimentary to others who put in large amounts when their heart was not right in terms of motive. So, firstly, one's heart should be right about how to give and then any amount can be given at any time. Most importantly, as outlined in the New Testament God wants our whole heart first as a ''living sacrifice'' or offering to Him.

Where in the bible does it say about tithing 10 percent?

Nowhere in the Bible does it say to tithe 10 percent. The word tithe means a tenth, or a tenth part, NOT ten percent. There is a big difference. Example: In Leviticus 27:32 God said the tenth animal is the one to tithe - the LAST ONE out of every ten. If you only had 9 animals, you wouldn't tithe. If you had 19 animals, animal number ten would be the one to tithe. The Biblical tithe was never money, and never came from anyone's income, and was to be eaten by the tither, his family, the Levites, the priests, the widows, the orphans, and the stranger. See Deut. 14:22-29.
