Did Jesus Christ Pay Thithe? by Rikze(op): 9:44am On Apr 16, 2023
The simple answer is no. If you disagree kindly provide scriptural references as evidence.


Don't refer to Malachi 3:10 as it does not hold water in line with the context.


Secondly, how many of his disciples paid Thithe? If any, kindly share with us.

To me Thithe is modern day scam.

2 Corinthians 9:7 "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." KJV


Thithe was a necessity, God had calculated it for the ancient Israelites, it wasn't bargained for. But here, we are to give as we deem fit

Jesus was not qualified to pay tithes, the mosaic law requires the Hebrews to pay ten percent of crops and livestock to the tribe of levi, so Jesus was not qualified to do so because he was a carpenter by profession, the tithes commandments didn't apply to skilled trades

Not stated in scriptures. But Abraham did and many others did.
Since it's commanded, I am certain that he must have paid tithe.

Did Abraham precede Jesus or not? I said Jesus and his disciples, not pre-Jesus era.

Did he not make money from carpentry? It was an obligation for all the Jews irrespective of their profession.


What about Jesus's disciples, did they pay Thithe?

you are wrong, it was not the obligation of all Jews, God didn't want tithe to be paid in form of money, read Deuteronomy 14:23 "Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always.
secondary God required only three set of people to pay tithes, the farmers, herdsmen and levitate themselves.
you can read Lev: 27:30-32 and number 18: 25-29.
lastly Jesus and his deciples were exempt from paying tithes, Jesus was the follower of mosaic law which put him and his deciples aways from paying tithes because because God want tithes from farmers, herdsmen and levitate, Jesus and his deciples didn't fall is this categories,

Jesus didn't pay tax simply because he doesn't work tax is for people who are working
It is the reason why.he didn't work so that he will not pay tax the assume father (Joseph) was a carpenter but he never assist his father because he was lazy

Na mumu dey tax

My question is who is providing food and shelter for him when he's not working?

Stop the twists.

If thithes were expected from farmers only, why are you and your pastors accepting money and jewelry?


Note also that everyone under the law of Moses was to pay the Thithe, even Levites paid Thithe from the Thithes they received. Go study ya Bible

I don't pay tithes neither did I go to church that pay tithes

You people should stop quoting Malachi when it comes to tithes - Malachi was mostly addressed to Levites, not the whole Israel. I don't intend to say much...
Go to Deuteronomy 12 and see God's instructions on tithes! It takes some understanding of the scriptures. Most old orthodox churches don't emphasise tithes for Christians. E get why. The last time this became a centre of attention in our social media space, the loudest people on the matter were Pentecostal pastors. But remember what the theologians (Catholics and the Anglicans) said.

you should know that Jesus didn't collect tithe because he was not from levitate, he was from judia, the mosaic laws says tithes should be paid to to the Levites because they didn't have any heritage from Israel

Why don't you? Since you believe it's the right thing to do why not do it.
