Jesus NEVER paid tithes. In the Old Testament, there were 5 types of tithes God implemented exclusively for the nation of Israel: 1. Crop tithe 2. Animal tithe 3. Levitical tithe 4. Poor tithe 5. Festival tithe All 5 of these tithes were purely agricultural involving ONLY crops and animals, never money(gold, silver, shekels). Therefore, GOD commanded only those Israelites who had land to grow crops and/or animals to herd to tithe(farmers,shepherds). If you were an Israelite with any other occupation(maidservant, welder, etc, ), you were not required to tithe. Jesus was a carpenter, not a farmer or herdsman, so he didn't tithe. If Jesus decided he wanted to grow a garden on the side, then yes, he would have had to tithe off that. |
