The Truth About Tithing Part 1

Summary

Elder Keith Ellis examines the biblical practice of tithing, arguing that it primarily involved agricultural produce and livestock rather than money. He challenges the modern Christian teaching that tithing requires giving 10% of income, emphasizing that tithing was tied to Old Testament law and the support of the Levitical priesthood, which no longer applies under the New Testament. Ellis also critiques common misinterpretations of Malachi 3:8-10, highlighting the original context and meaning of tithes as offerings of produce, not cash.
