Answer on eBible:

Nowhere in the New Testament does it state that Jesus or any of His apostles ever collected tithes or instructed believers to pay tithes.

The apostle Paul did not teach that everyone is obligated to tithe or to even give, however he teaches that giving is completely voluntary (2 Corinthians 9:7 NLT “You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”). The first apostolic council in Acts 15 does not say that Gentile believers should title either. There is absolutely no evidence that any Gentile Christian in the First Century ever tithed anything.

Tithing in the Law of Moses was never about giving as there was nothing voluntary in tithing. Failure to tithe would have resulted in a violation of the Law.

New Testament believers are no longer under the Law as stated in Romans 7:6 NLT “But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.” and Galatians 5:1 NLT "So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law."

Stop asking such questions. Where was it in the bible that Jesus speak in tongues?

Jesus didn't have to do it to prove the legality. Besides there was levitical priesthood still in office then.

The honest question however should rather have been. "Is tithing Scriptural" or "Was Jesus in support of Tithing or against it"

Then you can have proper response

Yes, Jesus did not collect tithes and also Jesus did not wear a suit, wear snickers, have a car, work a 9am-5pm job, watch football matches, see movies, have a wife or girlfriend, eat shawarma or play PS2. Does it make all of these things we should not do? Tithes are paid by some as an investment in the church and even if Jesus did not take any it does not make it wrong to pay it. The law and prophets are to be fulfilled because not one jot or tittle will pass from the law and the prophets till all be fulfilled. We are to live in the fulfilment of the law and the prophets and do so with understanding.

Let me start by pointing out that the Bible is not a perfectly written or translated book. It holds its prime value among books because it is inspired by a perfect God. So take it that the Bible is a perfect message from a perfect God communicated over ages to us by imperfect writers and translators.

To your question: Did Jesus Collect Tithes? If So, Where In The Bible Did This Happen? My answer is yes, Jesus collected tithes and also instructed Christians to pay tithes. While his directive to believers to pay tithes is hardly ever mentioned in discussions like this, it can be easily referenced in the Bible in Matthew 23:23.

For him collecting tithes, that’s a much more controversial issue. FYI, the first, and the only referenced case of someone actually paying tithes (not suggesting that it did not happen, mind you) and another receiving it in the Bible was between Abraham, the earthly father of Christians and Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, who appeared in his pre-human existence to Abraham as Melchizedek. This is recorded in Genesis 14:18-20.

Melchizedek is referred to as a king and priest of God Most High, a dual authority only shared by Jesus, who is born a king, and also known as a priest after the order of Melchizedek. (Psalms 110:4; Hebrews 7:17) St. Paul's description of this enigmatic Old Testament character in Hebrews 7:3 as, “Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever” not only establishes the similarities between Melchizedek and Jesus Christ, but that they are one and same person, represented on earth in different forms and different periods.

Not identifying Melchizedek and Jesus Christ as the same individual will create several incongruities like;
i. How can a mortal and physical earthly king have no genealogy?
ii. Besides Christ, will there be another who can be known as an everlasting priest?
iii. Knowing Christ’s supreme position in the order of God’s creatures, can Melchizedek, who existed on earth before Jesus, said to be greater than him (Christ)?

This is why I have come to the conclusion that Melchizedek, who was only referenced in his encounter with Abraham, was indeed a pre-human existence of the Logos, or Word, who was later born into this world and was known as Emmanuel or Jesus Christ. He took human form in order to minister to Abraham, the person through whose seed, God was going to renew his everlasting covenant of salvation with mankind.

We all know that it now a new dispensation.
In tithe which is 10%. Yes Abraham paid it to the Priest, The Israelites pay to the Levi family which was 1/12 of the population of Israel which has no inheritance. That means if total Israelites population was 12million about 1million are serving the remaining 11 million population in the site of God.
This is how it is today.
Also looking at given in the bible. When men decide to be stingy that was when God begin to demand 10%.

I support given to the household of Faith because what ever is dedicated to God. Is jealousy will be around it.
The bible says the measure you give is the measure you will receive.
When you really give a offering and seed that presentable before God the jealousy of God will be around you.
Remember the woman who gave two pieces of coin Jesus said she gave the best of all because she gave an offering that touches her greatly with faith. Also look at the love the woman of alabaster oil. It was her one year wages she gave something that touches her with great love in her heart.

Though the doctrine of each church covers everyone in the congratulations. So if you church says pay tithe better do. The covenant in each commission differs. As individual expect to spell it out to your pastor... If he allows you fine. If he doesn't you advise yourself...
Just remember that you must dedicate a portion of your profit to God for this coverage.
Thank you
