There is nothing wrong with the Church asking for money to support the work that they are doing (the Bible shows that it was the members of the Church that supported the work, and not those out side of it), the problem though is a lot of them are telling people how much they should give. Though in the Old Testament, when the Israelites gave to the Priest they were only required to give a tenth or what they earned.

Also part of the problem is that many people do not study the scriptures, which makes them vulnerable to being mislead. But then again, as I often quote what Jesus said, "My sheep hears my voice." Those who are truly Christians will not follow another voice no matter how sweet and pleasing they may sound.
