I know some of you christians will, rather than address the issue here, attack my personality, cos you'll think as a muslim, I have no business meddling in the affairs of the christian doctrine. My post is not about whether tithing is biblical or not, or whether its an old testament practice and that christians, being under grace and eternally saved through the sacrifice of blood on the cross as they claim, are not bound under the law to tithe. I am neither here to condemn the tithers, nor to support the non tithers. I rather want to ask, WHAT IS ALL THIS UPROAR OVER TITHE ALL ABOUT?
It seems I have never seen a religious doctrine so hotly debated and so vehemently defended by pontifs like this tithe. The way our so called Men Of Gods are defending this tithe of a thing, it's as if their basic source of income is about to be blocked. If tithing is right, it needs not be defended this vehemently. If it's not a christian doctrine, it needs not be condemned this much. Tithers should remember that the practice is of Judaism, and Jesus, being a Jew himself, could not have spoken against it. He lived under the law, cos he never came to abolish it. Non tithers should also remember that, even if the doctrine doesn't apply to christians, giving just a little from your earning to the house of God is not too bad either. If anybody chooses to pay, fine. If they choose not to pay, it's their business.
BUT SEEING SOME SO CALLED RESPECTED MEN OF GOD VEHEMENTLY DEFENDING TITHE, I BEGIN TO THINK, COULD FREEZE HAVE BEEN RIGHT AFTER ALL?

The beauty of Christianity is the liberty it offers through Christ Jesus and that liberty covers the joy to debate and the unhindered restrictions to bare your mind without fear of contradictions.
When revival is about to break forth in the church, the Holy Spirit usually steer the spirit of men to bring order back to the church.
This is not new in christaindom. Read up about the history of Martin Luther, Azusa Revival etc on this.
The debate is in order and at the end of the day, men will choose what is right for themselves. Paying or not paying tithes will not stop any Christian from making heaven if he or she has a right standing with God through Christ Jesus.
Remember, God loves a cheerful giver and we Christians must continue to give without measure for the kingdom work to move on.
The "uproar" is about the REVIVAL THAT IS ABOUT TO BREAK FORTH IN THE CHURCH.
