He did not have anyone dictating to him to give it or else. This is the way we should all give today. (Cheerfully and Freewill).

It doesn't seem Jesus tithed. Should we follow his example? Peter the fisherman doesn't seem to have tithed either.

He took money out of the mouths of fish to pay temple tax, even though it shouldn't of been required of those who were the locals.

Jesus did not tithe because there wasn't any increase to tithes. If Jesus had anything produced on the land to tithe and didn't he would have been a lawbreaker. Jesus advocated the tithers about tithing under the law when saying these things ought you to have done, but just not to leave the other things undone.

My simple statement was that Jacob tithed freewill and without cumpulsory and if we tithe it should be done in the same "freewill". I don't teach tithing, but instead on rare occasions I teach giving. I suppose you are so against tithe teaching that you are against people doing it on their own freewill just because they want to show worship in their giving.
