    I really not sure your point. Does acts tell you that God requires you to give 10% of your income?

    Your church sounds like an outlier. Many of the church I’ve seen have been seeded by larger churches and ministries which they are then indebted to. Most of which would not be so forthcoming with their financials.

    Thats not the question though. Why is it a church would say that tithing 10% of your income is a requirement?

      Because it’s a tradition from the old testament that some (by no means all) churches use. It’s nowhere near as universal as your own anecdotal references seem to imply.

          Maybe try researching church finances instead of going by the assumption that they’re greedy because they’re asking for money and look like your enemy.

          EDIT: Sorry, I forgot it’s a not-good to ask someone to do research without demonstrating my own. Unfortunately, I have other things I should be doing than research right now.
