No, it's the Pharisees that aren't mentioned in a positive way, not tithing.
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.
Jesus is saying that the Pharisees are, once again, obeying the letter of the law in giving a tenth of even their herbs and spices, but missing the big picture. He goes on to say that they should be doing both, giving their tithe while not forgetting the love of God. Sounds to me like Jesus supported tithing.
Yep. My take, exactly.
They were all over the letter of the law, like modern Muslims.
By the way, he did not say they “should be” doing both. He said they “should have been” doing both. Past tense.
In the new covenant the whole thing changed. Tithing is an old testament teaching. The new testament talks of giving. The two are related concepts but different.
Jews lived in a theocracy within the government of whatever country they lived in. This theocracy is Judaism. I compare “tithing” to paying income tax to the theocracy.
But as Christians we give to the poor, widows and orphans. And Paul made it clear that pastors and teachers should be paid for their work, though he refused so as to be above reproach.
