The definition and requirements of tithing have varied at different periods in the Church

FAIR's Response

Fact checking results: This claim is based upon correct information - The author is providing knowledge concerning some particular fact, subject, or event

This is correct. The definition of what constitutes tithing has been modified over time by Latter-day prophets. The requirements related to tithing in the 21st century are not the same as they were in the 19th century.
