Christians, Misinformation No. 11 - ';Jesus Taught Tithing'; True of false ?

It is said that Jesus taught tithing. If so, to whom did he teach it ?Christians, Misinformation No. 11 - ';Jesus Taught Tithing'; True of false ?
News to me - but the Law was of course kept perfectly by Him and thus was fulfilled in Him. If tithing is in the Law then He affirmed it. ';Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and render unto God the things that are God's.';Christians, Misinformation No. 11 - ';Jesus Taught Tithing'; True of false ?
No.


He did tithe though. He followed the Law perfectly.





But it is not a requirement of the christian.


Church leaders misapply the verses concerning generosity to get their sheep to tithe.
yes, Jesus did teach about tithing, there was a group of people that try to trick Jesus, Concerning taxes, %26amp; if you know how to read it correctly, we don't pay taxes to God. Read St. Matt.22:21 Jesus said to give unto Ceasar's what is Ceasar's %26amp; unto God what is God, Taxes unto Ceasar's %26amp; tithing unto God.
Already asked and answered. Do a search on this form for more about tithing. It's asked and ridiculed so much. Research this site before you ask any questions. The answers could be there and you just didn't do your homework first.





Blessing.
It was directed in OT...In NT there is no command to tithe a tenth since we are not under law but grace
Jesus says render therefore to caesar what is caesars and to God what is Gods.


Also,we cannot ignore the old testament as Jesus quoted from it quite a bit.
Twice the scriptures quote Jesus as supporting tithing. He told the proud pharisees who publicly did their offerings. Let me quote Luke 11:42:





';But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.';





Tithing was before the law of Moses. You find Jacob promising a tenth to God, and Abram paid tithe to Melchizedek, too.





God has commanded, ';Thou shalt not steal';, and according to the New Testament, those who preach the Gospel should live from it.


Yes, if everything you have is put into God's hands, you will receive 100 times more, and eternal life. Don't believe me? Well, ask my wife, we live in Paradise now, and have never stinted the Lord.





A Bible code reveals God's plan of redemption of this planet, only for ';the wise.'; http://abiblecode.tripod.com
