Unregistered

The offerings at the temple at the time of John the Baptist were collected by the power of government set up by Herod and the Pharisees through their Gabbai and Mokhes tax collectors. Everyone who signed up had to pay in and the power to take contributions had been turned over by the people who signed up and registered with the temples of Herod or of Caesar. Very few people did not sign up. The Apostles were evidently unregistered with the systems of welfare of the "world" of Rome and the "world" of "Herod".

Those who got the Baptism of John and eventually the Apostles took care of those needs of the early Christians with freewill offerings called charity or love through a daily ministration of Pure Religion.

Registering for the Benefits of men who exercise authority was directly prohibited by Christ. The heads of those governments called themselves benefactors but forced the contributions like Herod and the Pharisees and their Corban.

They had turned the collection of freewill offerings over to the civil authorities, making the temple a civil religion.

The Pharisees challenged Jesus and Jesus challenged them "Why do ye also transgress the commandment" and that challenge still applies to the modern Christian.

The challenge made in Mark 7:11 also in Matthew 15 concerning the corban given to the temples made the word of God to none effect.

That is very powerful to make the word of God to none effect and since it was a covetous practice it would result in making people merchandise and curse children. We should explore how their Corban and traditions transgressed the commandments.

Jesus mentions the one we see in Exodus 20:12 where the word honor" is from the Hebrew word meaning to give a value from a word to fatten. They were to take care of their parents so their own days would be long upon the land. In other words their children would see them do it and by those acts pass on the practice from generation to generation.

The English word tradition means what is a customary practice. Their term in the text is paradosis meaning "the act of giving up" and "the surrender of cities". In Greek it meant "delivery (of goods, parcels, etc" or from a military view "surrender".) is also translated "ordinances".

This is little different than what the Modern Churches did when they turned over the daily ministration by charity they once maintained to an administration of welfare by the civil authorities of state under rulers like FDR and LBJ.

So, by that turning over to the civil authorities what had by God's commandment to the people and Christ's directive to His Church both the people abandoned the way of Christ and the righteous responsibility as it was from the beginning.

The institutions claiming to be the church abandoned the Corban of Christ and with the parents sinned and cursed their Children. In turn the sons thought they did not need to take care of their parents because they gave a gift/offering at the temple. The same word gift is in John 9, Mark 7, and Matthew 15.

We can see how their ordinances transgress the commandments of God because they create the One Purse system of a city of blood that will make the people human resources, water Peter calls merchandise.

We also see the fear of the blind man's parents in John 9 when they might be kicked out of that social safety net system of the temple set up by the Pharisees. The free bread of Rome also came from the temples of Rome provided by men like Caesar or Herod and the Pharisees that forced the contributions by rulers of the people.

It would be those "commandments of men" of caring for your parents and not coveting your neighbor's goods through men who exercised authority that transgressed the commandments and it would be those laws and ordinances that would be done away with by nailing it to the cross.
