Regarding Tithes

Some churches ask their members to give them ten percent of their income. They call this "Tithing".
There is no instruction in the Bible for Christians to tithe to their church. Christians are to be generous and help others in need, there is no set amount specified except in one case recorded in Matthew 19:21. Jesus told a man to sell everything he had and give it all to the poor. If you want to be perfect, give 100%, not merely 10%. Don't listen to church leaders who tell you that you have to give a certain amount of money to them. They usually are not in need anyway, since they have been taking money from people for years.
