Greetings again,

This is a very nuanced and semantic lesson. Not because the source (the Bible) is diverse in interpretation, but, because many people that interpret the source has diverse, syncretized, and/or false understanding of not just the biblical precept of giving and tithing, but the Scriptures in its entirety. This Aleph & Omega discussion prioritized the modern trope of mandatory tithes vs. giving as an argument, in some circles, a point of contention with the concept and dichotomy of tithing. All that argue against the tithes does it at the cost of not only contradicting scripture to justify a scripture suitable for eisegeting a self-preserved or preconceived ideology concerning the scriptures relative to the notion of observing the scriptures while exercising the Thelema doctrine of free will. This is where the over-excessive and/or premature usage of 2nd Corinthians 9:7 becomes the staple for justifying the exemption of the tithes under the banner of Christianity and the New Testament Church.

Our study is ever a call to repentance of coming under the proper doctrine of obedience to the relevancy of tithing. This is notwithstanding, conceding to the fact that, within the parameters of the subject of tithing, there's nowhere in the scriptures that say for any believer not to give the tithes.
