Oh, I don't think that's the problem. The problem is when people teach things like:
"You're robbing God"
"You are under God's curse"
"You are hell bound"
for not tithing...That's where the problem is. Putting people UNDER bondage after Christ has set them free.
The Apostle Paul fought tooth and nail against putting people back in bondage.
As an example, Paul did not care if people wanted to be circumcised (as per OT), he said it profits nothing. He was pretty much indifferent. If you want to tithe, that's good. Do it unto the Lord.
However, when it came to the Jews teaching other Christians that "Except you are circumcised, you can't be saved." That's where Paul did not spare those legalists at all. In the same way, when some are teaching legalism with regards to tithing, well it should be exposed.
Gal 2
4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—
who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—
5
to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you
