Religion / Re: Did Jesus And The Apostles Paid Tithe? by llonden: 12:32am On Jun 23, 2009
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.
