That would make it too easy. You will have to do the research yourself.

Looks like most of the tithe payers in the New Testiment were Hypo-crites.
I can not find a requirement.

Unfortunately, I am at work, and have not the time nor a Bible program to use for such things. But consider, he said these things ye had ought to do..., but rather they should have also done the other thing. It meant that they SHOULD PAY TITHES, but that they should have also done other things.
It is easy to play a Christian by paying tithes, and not living the life at home, or in private. What is harder is to do both. Tithes shouldn't be skipped to not be a hypocrite--one should do the other as well.

No.
2Co 9:7 KJV Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We CAN GIVE tithes, but it is not a law any more.
But tithes... come on. I mean less than a good tip????? lol
AT LEAST give tithes, but it is not a law for us in the New Testament.

Good post. Those who do not give Tithes And Offering are not dis-obedient
nor have robbed God.

Right.
We need to give. But not because of a commandment that curses if we do not. God leads us to give. Sometimes it may be less than 10% other times 10% or other times more!
But like Paul said in Gal 5, although we are not under law, let's not use that as though we can have a cloak for our flesh to not give anything. The church still requires givers.
