Kept asking for money. I spoke to this dude who told me why people were walking out of the church. They say ten percent ? I know this is a touchy subject . People can barley make it on what they have let alone just give up money . It's about having some strong faith .

Was the pastor Al Dente?

Come to my Church of Revelations I only ask 5%.

Just don't go you'll end up better in the long run. They only want money, not to actually help you.

As a catholic, I see that any donation to my parish is as any donation to a charity. In fact, if the parish asked 10% from me, I'd take the 10% right on over to a charity because that is a more accurate application of Jesus' teachings. He'd rather we spend our money helping others than beefing up his house. Of course I'd still give some to the parish but if 10% is what God asks, I'll put it to what God intends.

2 RepliesWait so is the pastor telling the congregation to give money or just preaching a sermon on tithing?

10 RepliesThe Bible says to give 10% to God. That's pretty generous considering all of it belongs to him.

5 RepliesAnd also ppl left church because they don't follow the Word of God

3 RepliesI thought religious folks were the most generous groups and gave to charities more often than other people. Why should donating be a problem?

Any church that makes it mandatory to tithe is in the wrong, end of story.

8 RepliesGod tells us to give 10% of our money to Him. The pastors are suppose to take up the tithe. So chill out

Not sure what church your going to but that money you're being asked for is voluntary not mandatory. It's also the only income the church brings in. With out donations the church couldn't pay it's bills.

Probably for the best. If the church leader is not living according to what he preaches, he shouldn't be a preacher.

People who donate to big charities or the church also fa for Nigerian prince scams.

A man come to Jesus. Man: What must I do? Jesus: go sell everything you have. Than give your money to the poor. Then you can carry the cross.
