=== Why Homeschool? ===<br />
<br />
'''Benefits'''<br />
* Flexibility<br />
: Whether it's time, vacation, curriculum, or whatever, homeschooling offers a family the ability to make choices that are best for them.<br />
<br />
* Build Community <br />
: Homeschooling can bring families together with other like-minded families to share ideas, resources, and counsel. Homeschool co-ops are a great resource for meeting other homeschool families. When you homeschool and make an effort to find other homeschoolers, you'll find a valuable new circle of friends who, bringing their unique skill sets, are ready to help you succeed. <br />
<br />
* Learn New Skills<br />
<br />
* Taking Responsibility<br />
: Taking Responsibility for training/educating your children is part of loving your neighbor. The responsibility is yours...take it by the horns! When you rely on the State for your children's education, you're actually coveting/stealing from your neighbor through the agency of a government that is willing to use violence. If you doubt this, try not paying property taxes and see what happens. <br />
<br />
* Learn What You Didn't Learn The First Time<br />
<br />
* Customize the Learning Experience for YOUR Child<br />
: Education doesn't have to be one size fits all<br />
<br />
* Limit Indoctrination by the State<br />
: When YOU train YOUR children, you're not competing with the world as much as you are for their hearts and minds. If your children are spending 6 - 8 hours a day soaking up other peoples worldview, at some point you're going to have a problem.<br />

Before [[Nimrod]] and [[Cain]], the power of the "State" was in the hands of the individual and their families. People Like [[Cain]], [[Nimrod]], [[Pharaoh]] and [[Caesar]] also formed city-states where individual freedom was limited by men who were given authority through [[CCC|contracts, covenants, and constitutions]]. These relationships with rulers often result from an offer of [[benefits]] and [[protection]]. The Counselor of Nimrod speaks of the "rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of '''tens'''" but the pattern of "Tens", without ''rulers'', reaches back into antiquity and according to many modern historians is the most ''predominant'' pattern of free governments throughout the history of Mankind.<br />
<br />
Throughout that history, there have been ''leaders'' and ''prophets'' who show the people ''the way'' to liberty without ruling over them and there has been ''rulers'' of the people and ''lawmakers'' who lead them to [[despotism]] through the apathy and [[sloth]] that come with [[covetous practices]].<br />
<br />
The ancient [[priests]] and [[prophets]] have sought to set the people free by showing them another way to obtain the same [[benefits]] through broad systems of [[charity]] rather than [[force]] as it was in the days of [[Moses]]. Jethro's recommendation was not about organizing the people into ''tens, hundreds, and thousands'' for they were likely already naturally forming similar patterns within their society for care and protection. [[Jethro]], as a priest of Midian, was advising Moses to set up a system of appellate judges through a network in that same common pattern used throughout the ages in large societies.<br />
<br />
After the episode with the ''[[Golden calf|molten calf]]'', Moses would [[called out|call out]] his [[Church in the wilderness]], the [[Levites]], who would become the [[priests]] to the nation and also form the [[cities of refuge]] which were the ''appeals courts'' of [[Israel]]. During all this the people were still priests and kings in their own homes, [[free assemblies|freely assembling]] themselves in the reasonable patterns of tens and thousands.<br />
<br />
[[Philo Judaeus]] writes of the principle of the pattern of [[tens]] forming hundreds:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Moreover the first fruits of the tribe of Levi are given up to the priests;<Ref>[[Numbers 18]]:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Lord, even a tenth part of the [[tithe]].</Ref> for they having taken tithes, offer up other tenths from them as from their own fruits, which thus comprise the number of a hundred; for the number ten is the symbol of improvement, and the number a hundred is the symbol of perfection; and he that is in the middle is always striving to reach the extremity, exerting the inborn goodness of his nature, by which he says, that the Lord of the universe has appeared to him."''</blockquote><br />
<br />
Through the captains of [[tens]], the people chose who they would follow in battling the trials of life in the world. That choice was based on personal knowledge and mutual daily [[consent]]. That voluntary [[network]] of men choosing ministers and ministers choosing ministers formed a nation of freemen in voluntary support of justice and mercy. <br />
<br />
The [[Levites]] were the “[[called out]]” of [[Moses]], just as [[Jesus]] [[called out]] His [[ekklesia]], the [[early Church]]. They were the ministers of the common [[communion]] or welfare of the people of the [[Kingdom of God]], not the strong arm of men who [[exercise authority|exercised authority]]. They taught [[The Way]]s of God’s kingdom and kept the people together and strong by their system of [[charity]] and [[hope]].<br />
<br />
These separate but complementary activities kept the kingdom a working brotherhood in time of peace and war. They could bring men together in the face of personal robbery, disaster, and sickness or national famine, disaster, or invasion. As long as men lovingly remembered the character and precepts of God the Father first and secondly loved their neighbor as themselves, the kingdom would flourish and be fruitful under God’s precepts.<br />

== Jesus and the Tens ==<br />
<br />
We have been told that we should not be “forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" <br />
in [[Hebrews 10]]:25. But gathering together had a real purpose in Israel and in the [[early Church]]. It was so important that Jesus literally "[[commanded]]" that the people organize themselves in in [[The Congregation|Companies]] of [[Tens|tens]] in "ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties" before the miracle of the loaves and fishes.<br />
<br />
* [[Mark 6]]:38 "He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.39 And he [[commanded]]<Ref>{{2004}}</Ref> them to make all sit down by companies<Ref name="companies">{{4849}}</Ref> upon the green grass. [40] And they sat down in ranks, by [[Tens|hundreds, and by fifties]]. [41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all."<br />
<br />
The word ''companies'' is word ''sumposion''<Ref name="companies"></Ref> is derived from ''sumpino'' meaning ''to drink with''<Ref>{{4844}}</Ref> and is in part from the word ''[[4095|pino]]'' the verb "to drink" which is defined as to "figuratively, to receive into the [[soul]] what serves to refresh strengthen, nourish it unto life eternal".<br />
<br />
: "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the [[Son of man]], and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed." [[John 6]]:53 <br />
<br />
''Sumposion'' is repeated twice in the original text. The word ''ranks''<Ref>{{4237}}</Ref> like the word for ''companies'' is also repeated twice in the original text and is from the word [[4237|prasia]], These terms together being similar to a Hebrew idiom gives us the picture that they organized themselves in ''ranks or divisions'', so that numerous ranks formed a repetitive pattern, as it were in separate groups or plots. <br />
<br />
We see this [[Tens|pattern]] when the disciples were told ''to make the people (numbering 5,000 men and their families) sit down'' by '''fifties in a company'''. <Ref>[[Luke 9]]:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by '''fifties in a company'''.</Ref> <br />
<br />
But at [[Pentecost]] when thousands upon thousands of Jewish citizens accepted Jesus as the Christ and king this pattern of [[Tens]] would be an absolute necessity. This pattern of ten [[elders]] of families was used by Paul as he organized congregations of the Church all across the [[world]].<Ref>In "The World Under God’s Law, The Church Under God’s Law", Professor Rushdoony, (Dr. R.J.) describe the congregations Paul was setting up, "To this day, at least among the Jews, all it takes to form a synagog ([[synagogue]]) is ten [[elders]]! Ten men, rather. They constitute enough for one ruler, and without any rabbii called they constitute a synagog and the elder who was chosen by the ten heads of household conduct the services. That’s the way it was. "<br />
: "The apostles as they went out established, Paul for example, church after church in one place after another and he appointed and ordained elders, and he moved on. Did the services stop when he left? No, they continued. The elder carried on the services, or the elders, if there were twenty families, there would be two elders; thirty families, three elders. Then these elders who would be trained by the apostles, Peter or Paul, whoever went out, would then carry on services around so that their work would be extended. And this is how the missionary work of the church went on. You will recall from the book of Acts that the apostles hit the cities, they established churches there. Those churches, the elders thereof, would go out into the surrounding countryside to the smaller communities and villages and establish congregations there. [0:11:46]"<br />
: The pattern is true but the use of the term [[elder]] is incorrect. While elders were appointed to serve the people it is not an office of the Church. See '''[[Elder]]'''</Ref><br />
<br />
This voluntary gathering in [[Tens|by hundreds, and by fifties through groups of tens]] was to implement a righteous system of [[Corban]] through the hands of Jesus' disciples that would ''make the word of God to effect because it was accomplished by [[love]] and [[charity]] instead of [[force]] and [[fear]].<br />
<br />
This voluntary gathering in [[Tens|by hundreds, and by fifties through groups of tens]] was to implement a righteous system of [[Pure Religion]] through the hands of Jesus' appointed "[[Called out]]" minister, we see identified in the text as His "[[Church]]". It was [[His Church]]<Ref>[[Matthew 16]]:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.</Ref> that would ''make the word of God to effect'' and prevail by His [[love]] with a [[daily ministration]] of [[hope]] and [[charity]], again to avoid the ''deeds of the [[Nicolaitan]]s.''<br />
<br />
[[Jesus]] was teaching His followers what they would need to do to survive without the [[benefits]] offered by [[Herod]] and [[Caesar]]. The network this pattern created would be life and death for Christians when [[Rome]] began to fall. He warns in parable after parable about those who make excuses<Ref>[[Luke 14]]:18 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.</Ref> why they cannot come together or are [[Foolish virgins]] who get shut out.<br />
<br />
There is no essential difference in the canons of Christ’s kingdom “at hand” and the [[Kingdom of God]] that [[Moses]] tried to teach the people. The [[Levites]] were to be the ''servants'' of the free congregations of men. Those ministers of the people belonged to God as his [[Bondservant|bondservants]] with no personal inheritance. <br />
<br />
Each one served ten families, who chose them as ministers, and they were tithed in ''accordance to their service'':<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the [[Levites]], to every man according to his service.” ([[Numbers 7]]:5)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
The [[Church]] called out by Christ did the same as that earlier [[Church in the wilderness]] called out by Moses. They taught a [[Kingdom of God]] organized by congregation of tens, hundreds and thousands.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,” (Acts 1:15)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
Here, 12 [[Apostles]] and 120 families were the beginning foundation of the Christian Church. The apostles were [[Bondservant|bondservants]] appointed by Christ to minister to the congregation of the people which were organized in groups of tens.<Ref name="rank">{{Ranksten}}</Ref> In order to discern exactly how all this worked together for good, we must explore those ancient times but it is clear that the pattern repeated itself for centuries within free societies.<br />
<br />
Even as late as the 9th and 10th century, among the Lombard kings there was something called Deans connected to ten families. The word originated from the Latin “decanus”,<Ref name="rank">{{Ranksten}}</Ref> which was a military term of the Romans. Decurius was also used by early writers. This included the Greek ''deka'' and ''dekate'', meaning ten or [[tithe]]. <br />
<br />
The term was used to described those men performing functions of the secular [[clergy]]. This term was used by what we might call ministers of the early ecclesiastical Church. That clergy was much different in their position to authority and function than those now held in what we have come to believe is the Church. They held that office which included a position in their judicial system chosen from the bottom up. Some have tried to assert that a ''Dean''<Ref name="rank">{{Ranksten}}</Ref> was in authority over those ten families, but the terms used to describe the office clearly establish it as a subordinate position with respect and service to the people. It was a part of their system of governance, but its leaders were [[Titular|titular]].<br />
<br />
Terms like ''decurions''<Ref name="rank">{{Ranksten}}</Ref> signified those who served ten deans. As the network of tens, fifties, and hundreds grew, there was a need for assistance like the heralds of the kings and the singers<Ref> There were several different forms of this word translated into singer, sheer or ''shuwr''. These were identical with ''shoor'' which meant to travel, journey, go [through the idea of strolling minstrelsy]; Minstrels sang and recited poetically because it was easier to remember messages and communications accurately. They were the newsmen or heralds of official business. The singers were travelers because they had to deliver the news and messages all around the kingdom of God in order to keep the people informed. </Ref> and Nethinims<Ref> ''Nethinims'' were commissioned ministers of the [[Levites]] licensed to act ex officio. </Ref> of the [[Levites]] who performed important functions of keeping the people and ministers informed. The ''chore pisco pus'' was an assistant to the overseer or Bishop to keep the communion between the congregation effectual. Over the centuries, this special communications officer for the government of the people was degenerated into the ''director of the choir.''<br />
<br />
The [[Communion|communion]] of the first-century Church was substantive, filling the true physical and spiritual needs of the people. Those who received Christ’s baptism were cast out<Ref>John 9:22 “These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the [[synagogue]].”</Ref> of one system of authoritarian government of the [[Pharisees]] and entered a government of faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty. Christians depended upon the freewill charity of each other, not the entitlements of [[Rome]] or the [[synagogue]] of Satan.<Ref> [[Revelation 2]]:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.”</Ref><br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s [[table]], and of the table of devils.” ([[1 Corinthians 10]]:21)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Christian community was well-disciplined and organized from the bottom up by a system of [[charity]] rather than [[force]]. While the Roman system of political control was breaking down, those who followed Christ were excluded from the dainties of those civic tables. In about AD 150, [[Justin the Martyr]], hoping to clear the misconceptions and prejudices surrounding Christianity, wrote the Emperor Antoninus Pius in defense of the Christian faith and allegiance to Christ:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“And the wealthy among us help the needy ... and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.” (Ch. 65-67)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Choosing ministers ==<br />
<br />
Ministers were chosen by the people on an individual basis. Because according to the [[perfect law of liberty]] and the command of Christ not to [[exercise authority]] one over the other both echo this precept.<br />
<br />
Contributions to ministers were always [[freewill offerings]] and the words [[charity]] and [[love]] again give the power of [[choice]] to the people. <br />
<br />
Even the [[Levites]] were only [[tithe]]d to ''according to their service''.<Ref>[[Numbers 7]]:5 Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.</Ref> We also know the [[seven men]] appointed by Peter had to be chosen by the people first. Since, a [[bishop]] was just a minister of other ministers, and therefore [[overseer]] to ten congregations<Ref>It had been the tradition for Jews and many other nations for centuries to gather in groups of ten families and be connected by one in their group who gathered with others forming a [[network]]. This was the nature of [[synagogue]]s, hearths, and the Teutons, Jutes and many people, and matched the [[commanded|command of Christ]] we see in Mark 6.</Ref>, they too would be chosen by those [[ministers]] they served just as the [[elder]]s, heads of [[family]] unit, chose the ministers to their families.<br />
<br />
A [[Deacon]] was just a way of describing a minister of ten elders of families. [[Bishop]], [[deacon]], [[elder]] were all used interchangeably by writers like [[Ignatius of Antioch]] because all [[bishop]]s and [[deacon]]s were also [[elder]]s as heads of families.<br />
<br />
As we saw with ministers like Stephen, we also see the [[Didache]]<Ref>The Didache is mentioned by Eusebius (c. 324) as the Teachings of the Apostles following the books recognized as canonical (Historia Ecclesiastica III, 25):...</Ref> stating: ''“Therefore, elect for yourselves bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, men who are meek and not lovers of money, true and approved, for they also perform for you the ministry of the prophets and teachers.”''<br />
<br />
The nature of these appointments would remain the same for centuries. In the 10th century, drastic reforms were enforced to “unify the [[liturgy]]” of the Church. This authoritarian call for unity under a centralized Church had been creeping into some Church thinking from the beginning and now became a rebellion against the gospels. This was possible because of the [[false prophets]] of the [[Apostasy|apostate]] church that had been growing since [[Constantine]] called his first council offering bribes posing as donations.<br />
<br />
But the [[modern Church]] has forgotten the ''ancient pattern'' through which the [[righteousness]] of God reigns through the hearts and minds of a [[peculiar people]].<br />
<br />
<br />
* [[Jeremiah 18]]:15 "Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] a way not cast up;"<br />
<br />
Sitting down in the pattern of ten families in free assemblies has been the only practical way to provide a [[daily ministration]] and rightly divide the bread from house to house through [[charity]] instead of [[force]] like the governments of the [[world]].<br />
<br />
The [[table]] of the Lord may only be set by the [[charity]] of the people. The ''table of devils'' is set by the [[benefactors]] of the [[world]] who [[force]] the contributions of the people by ''exercising authority one over the other''. Their leaders are the ''[[fathers]] of the earth'' who offer gifts, gratuities, and benefits by way of [[legal charity]]. <br />
<br />
Many [[modern Christians]] will say they believe in Jesus and claim to have [[faith]] but they do not live by faith. They are the [[masses]] who [[covet]] their neighbors' goods and are willing to [[bite]] one another.<br />
<br />
They live by the sword of governments they have created for themselves. They call upon those institutions of [[force]] for their daily bread, their [[welfare]], education of their children, the care of their parents saying it is [[Corban]]. The [[early Church]]'s practice of [[pure Religion]] was at the core of the [[Christian conflict]].<br />
<br />
== The Services of the Liturgy ==<br />
<br />
[[Liturgy]] is defined as “a prescribed form or set of forms for public religious worship”.<Ref> The American Heritage ® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. </Ref> It is from the Greek word ''leitourgi'' and ''leitourgos'', meaning “public service” and “public servant” respectively. Liturgy was not about singing and vestments and the smoke and mirrors of modern Christendom. It was about the public servants of the kingdom of God operating under the [[perfect law of liberty]] in true worship of God<Ref> See Appendix 3 of [[TKC|Thy Kingdom Comes]] What is [[Worship|worship]] </Ref> by service to the people. Liturgy was the common procedures of the public servants of God’s kingdom in congregations composed of, by, and for the people. These “reforms” were forced upon the innocent and faithful by usurping kings, who were crowned by a fornicating church, in hopes of securing their own positions of wealth and power, turning the world upside-down again. <br />
<br />
The organization of small free assemblies networked into a system of tens, hundreds, and thousands, bound together only by a common brotherhood and love, had been the most predominant form of successful voluntary government throughout man’s history. Similar cell patterns were evident in the early days of the persecuted Church established by Christ.<br />
<br />
The crucial ingredient to their success is the implementation of the [[Ten Commandments|Ten Codes of God’s Law]] summarized in the virtuous application of Christ’s [[Two commandments|two commandments]]. <br />
<br />
Love God and His ways with all that you think and do and actively love your neighbor’s rights to his property and family, his life and liberty as much, if not more, than you love your own. The Church that comes together according to these ancient patterns and righteousness can overcome all tyrants, despots, and enemies of freedom and liberty. They can weather the greatest storms and cataclysms of history, both past or future. They can and will inherit the earth.<br />
<br />
[[Law]] and justice, as well as national security, had been in the hands of the people who assembled themselves in voluntary militias or armies based on a pattern of tens and fifties, hundreds, and thousands.<Ref>[[Exodus 18]]:25 And [[Moses]] chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.</Ref> These leaders were titular in their authority and held office by mutual respect and the consensus of those they served. Every captain was chosen by the ten men he served. This was a pure republic designed by God where the people were free from things public under the [[Perfect law of liberty|perfect law of liberty]].<br />
<br />
The [[Tens]] or [[Tuns]]<Ref>Irish society revolved around the túath<br />
Germanic tribes had “tehuntha”, but among the Latins we see “decānus” (deacon), dean or doge which meant “servant of ten”. A “decurion” served ten deans. </Ref> are not about 10 buddies getting together and helping one another...thieves and robbers do that. It is a pattern of the [[Kingdom of God]] where people give daily through a [[Network|network]] of ministers who help people the individual groups of ten may never meet nor see nor will likely ever help them in turn. It is a body bound only by love of others who are often very distant.<br />
<br />
== The Error of Saul ==<br />
<br />
[[Saul]] was chosen because he was a great man who defended justice and fought for the rights of the people. But once he was given the power of a king he was tempted by that power. At one of the first signs of trouble, he compelled a tax on the people.<br />
<br />
There was a measured loss of liberty when the people sinned against God and asked Samuel<Ref>“And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;” 1 Samuel 8:11-19, also 1 Samuel 10:18-19, 1 Samuel 12:1-25</Ref> to establish a centralized government, which now, as [[Benefactors|Benefactor]] to the nation, imposed taxes or “sacrifice” and appointed officers over the people. Men rejected God’s kingdom; the voice of the people elected men to make laws, rule with exercising authority, collect the contributions like a tax rather than a freewill offering and generally rule over man and his neighbor.<br />
<br />
Once, when there was a threat of invasion and Samuel had not arrived, Saul took matters into his own hands.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“And Samuel said, What hast thou done?… I forced myself therefore [In Wycliffe’s translation we see this as, “I was compelled by need], and offered a burnt offering.” ([[1 Samuel 13]]:11)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
The word “offered” here is from the Hebrew alah and can mean “withdraw… to be taken up, be brought up, be taken away… to be carried away”. It is also translated “increase, put” and “raised”. The word “and” is not in the original text. What is being said is that Saul compelled the taking of a burnt offering. A burnt offering is just something you are not getting back, as we have already seen. <br />
<br />
Because [[Saul]] was afraid the people would not come, he compelled a sacrifice, a tax. He coveted the goods of the people and demanded they contribute. This was a clear violation of the Ten Commandments. It was a noble cause, but still a sin.<br />
<br />
Samuel’s response to Saul was to the point and direct. He called him a fool:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.” (1 Samuel 13:12-14)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
When we covet our neighbor's goods through [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority we reject God and His Gospel of love, His [[Kingdom of Love]] which is the [[Kingdom of God]].<br />
<br />
== The Higher Liberty ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.” (Psalms 119:45)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
[[Jesus]] came to bring the [[kingdom of God]]’s liberty into every aspect of our lives. God’s precepts and character should govern us and the nations of the world. Liberty is conducive to growth and maturity. Virtue is the avenue of God’s grace. Faith is a gift that brings us into a fuller knowledge of God. A relinquishment of those rights and responsibilities, bestowed on us by the Creator, makes us poor and weak.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” ([[Luke 4]]:18)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
There is no more common theme in the [[Bible]] than liberty under God with charity and love for God and for our neighbor. "Voluntary governments have been the rule in man’s history and not the central or even democratic authorities so common worldwide in modern administrations. It is commonly unknown that, ''“our modern reliance on government to make law and establish order is not the historical norm.”''<Ref> The Enterprise of Law: Justice without the State. Bruce L. Benson Publisher: Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (San Francisco), 1991</Ref> <br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
"'I don’t have time' is to say 'I don’t want to.'" Lao Tzu<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
We are taught and have come to believe that the history of men and government is the history of centralized authoritarian government, while the truth is that most governance has been men working together in voluntary groups, united by customs, mutual respect, and reasoned justice. Although, top-down authoritarian forms amongst the states created by men have been here since Cain killed Abel, it is, in itself, an aberration, not the creation of God.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
"Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible." ~ Francis of Assisi<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The ruling elite, acting as the ''fountainhead of justice'', is presently so pervasive throughout the world, that many still believe that the definition of, ''“The state is essentially an apparatus of compulsion and coercion. The characteristic feature of its activities is to compel people through the application or the threat of force to behave otherwise than they would like to behave”''.<Ref>Ludwig von Mises, Austrian political economist.</Ref> It assumes that there can be no order without men compelling it. In truth, the power of God, written in some men’s hearts and minds, can bring order around the world.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''“And from the days of [[Baptism|John the Baptist]] until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” ([[Matthew 11]]:12)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
Some will argue that [[Democracy|democracies]] are governments of the people, by the people, and for the people. While this could be true, if the people were without guile and greed, men can still say, ''“the State is in essence the result of the successes achieved by a band of brigands who superimpose themselves on small, distinct societies”''.<Ref> On Power by Bertrand de Jouvenel, Viking Press, New York 1949.</Ref> <br />
<br />
This has always been true in [[Democracy|democracies]] where ''“Fifty-one percent of the people take away the rights of the forty-nine”''.<Ref>Thomas Jefferson 2nd Inaugural address.</Ref> <br />
<br />
The prophets preached a [[Republic]] not a [[Democracy]] where people take a [[Biting one another|bite out of one another]] and curse their children with [[Covetous Practices]]. Paul preached [[THL|The Higher Liberty]] under God.<br />
<br />
[[Image:network4m.jpg|148px|right|thumb|The [[Kingdom of God]] is from ''"generation to generation"'' and not just from ''congregation to congregation''. The [[Feasts]] made this possible as families united by marriage and friendship and meeting the challenges of a [[peculiar people]] who live by [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] through a [[perfect law of liberty]].]]<br />
<br />
== The Ties that Bind ==<br />
<br />
The pattern of ''tens, hundreds and thousands'' is the buddy system '''times''' ten. It is a wheel within a wheel and, like the cell groups of the French underground during World War II and the congregations of the persecuted Christians or the Germanic tribes that defeated Rome, it is merely the most practical form of free government.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Independence begins at the bottom... It follows, therefore, that every village has to be self-sustained and capable of managing its own affairs... It will be trained and prepared to perish in the attempt to defend itself against any onslaught from without... This does not exclude dependence on and willing help from neighbors or from the world. It will be a free and voluntary play of mutual forces... In this structure composed of innumerable villages, there will be ever-widening, never ascending circles. Life will not be a pyramid with the apex sustained by the bottom. But it will be an oceanic circle whose center will be the individual. Therefore, the outermost circumference will not wield power to crush the inner circle but will give strength to all within and derive its own strength from it." —Mahatma Gandhi''</blockquote><br />
<br />
We are not bound to the pattern. In fact, it is not the pattern that binds us but the law of love. The bands that connect us are the family ties that occur outside the pattern. Certainly, friendship occurs within congregations due to daily interaction, charity and fellowship. But such bonds do not a nation make.<br />
<br />
It is the alliances that come when daughters and nieces marry sons and nephews in other congregations. This was one of the primary functions of the Feasts. These bonds of blood supersede the bonds of tens and create the truly unbreakable bands that connect us to others.<br />
<br />
While modern governments bind the people with agreements and oaths, the [[Kingdom of God]] is His [[Kingdom of Love]] which binds the people by the covenant of marriage ordained by God and it becomes in the interest of the whole nation to maintain healthy family units. This is why the kingdom is from ''generation to generation'' and not from ''congregation to congregation''.<Ref>Lamentations 5:19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.<br />
: Daniel 4:3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.<br />
: Daniel 4:34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:<br />
: Joel 3:20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.<br />
: Luke 1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
{{Template:Kingdom}}<br />
<br />
== The Pattern ==<br />
<br />
The pattern of tens starts with ten families.<br />
<br />
A family consists of the eldest Father of a family, his wife, unmarried sons and daughters and married sons and their wives and children.<br />
<br />
The eldest father is an [[Elder]].<br />
<br />
Each family unit operating under one [[Elder]] gathers in a [[Free Assemblies|free assembly]] where if he contributes anything to the minister it is completely given up. This is a [[Freewill offerings|burnt offering]].<br />
<br />
While they may be a member of a [[Free Assemblies|free assembly]] when the assembly meeting ends there are no legal bonds maintaining their membership. The Congregation is not a ''[[corporation]]'' nor even an ''[[unincorporated association]]''.<br />
<br />
The [[Elder]]s' mission and obligation is to love God and their fellow elders and those other elders all over the kingdom network.<br />
<br />
The fulfillment of that mission and obligation of a congregation is the responsibility of every [[Elder]] and his family. By freely attending to the [[Weightier matters]] for himself and other families he secures his own liberty under God according to the [[Perfect law of liberty]].<br />
<br />
A congregation is not a [[Democracy]]. The majority of Elders do not elect the minister. It is by consensus. Each elder must choose the minister he wishes to connect him with the whole body of the Church. While there is no means or inclination to compel offerings by force or guilt there is usually a token head [[Tithe|tithe]] of value like the Half shekel.<Ref>[[Exodus 30]]:13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) an half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD. 14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.<br />
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.<br />
16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.</Ref><br />
<br />
The elected [[Minister]] who is appointed by Ordained Ministers of the Church is a member of the congregation of fellow ministers. But like the [[Elder]]'s [[Free Assemblies|free assembly]], that congregation of ministers, is also not a corporation nor an unincorporated association. This has at least four reasons:<br />
<br />
#Their choice of minister is not the result of a democratic vote but a votive offering.<br />
#They do not own what they receive as donations but only hold it in trust as appointed ex officio ministers.<br />
#What the people release to their ministers is ''freely'' given as if it is a burnt offering.<br />
#What the minister receives is belongs to Christ who came to serve.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Even man's service is the King's, but every man's soul is his own. Therefore I would have every soldier examine himself, and wash every mote out of his conscience"<ref>The First Quarto of King Henry V</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<br />
It is a principle and policy of the prophets that each minister is acting as a single independent stone of the [[Altars]] of God. They are not ''hewn'' but seek to fit together in a cohesive group as ''friends''. They are not members of the congregation they serve bu part of a [[Free Assemblies|free assembly]] of other ministers like themselves.<br />
<br />
There is another classification within the network of tens. Ordained ministers of the Church are members of their congregation but hold all things in common within that independent congregation but are joint heirs within the whole network of congregations. This is explained in more detail within the book [[FCR|The Free Church Report]].<br />
<br />
== The Prohibition ==<br />
<br />
The [[Kingdom of God]] was a voluntary [[Society]] gathered in a [[Network]] of families bound by [[Faith]], [[Hope]] and [[Charity]] from generation to generation. You could leave anytime and volunteer anytime but were you excluded and what kept you from the [[fellowship]] of these living [[Altars]]. Understanding that the [[Altars]] and the sacrifice or [[Corban]] laid on those altars was a part of a social [[Welfare|welfare]] system is essential to understanding the driving force of a voluntary system not like the systems of the [[World|world]].<br />
<br />
There are several lists which give us things to be watchful for and avoid the people who persist in them which includes the actions listed in the [[Ten Commandments]].<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor [[Idolatry|idolaters]], nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the [[kingdom of God]]." ([[1 Corinthians 6]]:9)''</blockquote><br />
<br />
There is a constant distinction between walking in the flesh, and walking in the spirit, defined by [[fruit|fruits]].<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the [[kingdom of God]]<br />

* Will history ask when reviewing our generation “What manner of men had lived in those days... who had so eagerly surrendered their sovereignty for a lie and a delusion? Why had they been so anxious to believe that the government could solve problems for them which had been pridefully solved, many times over, by their fathers? Had their characters become so weak and debased, so craven and emasculated, that offers of government dole had become more important than their liberty and their humanity? Had they not know that power delegated to the government becomes the club of tyrants? They must have known. They had their own history to remember, and the history of five thousand years. Yet, they had willingly and knowingly, with all this knowledge, declared themselves unfit to manage their own affairs and had placed their lives, which belonged to God only, in the hands of sinister men who had long plotted to enslave them, by wars, by "directives," by "emergencies." In the name of the American people, the American people had been made captive.”<br />

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before. And that means a lot to young people who are entering the workforce for the first time. That means that here are a set of skills that they can learn and gain from that will give them opportunities for employment...and that's really exciting. '''It's a bit like learning to develop an iOS application six or seven years ago or how to develop an HTML website 15 years ago. It's the kind of skills you can build and launch a career on.'''"<br />

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before. And that means a lot to young people who are entering the workforce for the first time. That means that here are a set of skills that they can learn and gain from that will give them opportunities for employment...and that's really exciting. '''It's a bit like learning to develop an iOS application six or seven years ago or how to develop an HTML website 15 years ago. It's the kind of skills you can build and launch a career on.'''"<br />

<div>[[File:Levites.jpg|300px|right|thumb|When the people of Israel return to the pagan ways of the [[Golden calf]] [[Moses]] "[[called out]]" the [[faithful]] of Israel. The [[Levites]] were [[appoint]]ed to be the [[Church in the wilderness]] who would serve the the congregations of the people in patterns of [[Tens]]. [[Early Israel]] was learning to follow the [[righteousness]] of [[the way]] of God which is what [[Jesus]] would teach the [[early Church]] as the [[righteousness]] of God in the eternal quest for the [[kingdom of God]]. ]]<br />
<br />
== What is or who is Israel ==<br />
<br />
The [[Hebrew]] word in the [[Bible]] is defined {{03478}}.<br />
<br />
The first place we see the word is :<br />
* [[Genesis 32]]:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. {Israel: that is, A prince of God}<br />
<br />
It is important to understand that to say somethings [[name]] is to describe its character or nature. Those who say "Israel Only" in relation to the [[Gospel of the Kingdom]] often do not understand that the term is meant to identify a [[Spiritual_DNA_and_Gene_Expression|spiritual character]]. <br />
<br />
We see the יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל YodShemReishAlefLamed appears over 2500 times but 111 of those times there is a Beit at the beginning of the word and is often translated "in Israel". There are 50 times it begins with the letter Lamed and is translated to or "unto Israel". The word is from two words which is "sarah" meaning "preserver" as in have the "power of" and the word "el" meaning "god". If you are not a ''preserver'' or ''have the power'' of God then you are not Israel. You are not Israel just because you say you are.<br />
<br />
* [[Exodus 4]]:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, [[Israel]] [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:<br />
<br />
* [[Psalms 89]]:18 For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel [is] our king. <br />

| '''Comments Israel''' <br />
|-<br />
| : Supersessionism, also called replacement [[theology]] or fulfillment [[theology]], is a doctrine that holds that the early Christian Church has succeeded the Israelites as the definitive people of God. This view directly contrasts with dual-covenant [[theology]] which holds that the Mosaic covenant remains valid for Jews.<br />
|-<br />
|: Many [[Early Church]] commentators taught that Israel was replaced (superseded) by the Church:<br />
|-<br />
|* Justin Martyr (about 100 to 165): "For the true spiritual [[Israel]] ... are we who have been led to God through this crucified Christ."<Ref>Justin Martyr, Dialogue With Trypho 11, in Ante-Nicene Fathers 1:200.</Ref><br />
|-<br />
|* Hippolytus of Rome (martyred 13 August 235): "[The Jews] have been darkened in the eyes of your soul with a darkness utter and everlasting."<Ref> Hippolytus, Treatise Against the Jews 6, in Ante-Nicene Fathers 5.220.</Ref><br />
|-<br />
|* Tertullian (c. 155 – c. 240 AD): “Who else, therefore, are understood but we, who, fully taught by the new law, observe these practices,—the old law being obliterated, the coming of whose abolition the action itself demonstrates ... Therefore, as we have shown above that the coming cessation of the old law and of the carnal circumcision was declared, so, too, the observance of the new law and the spiritual circumcision has shone out into the voluntary observances of peace.”<Ref> An Answer to the Jews, Chapter 3</Ref><br />
|-<br />
|* Augustine (354–430) follows these views of the earlier Church Fathers, but he emphasizes the importance to Christianity of the continued existence of the Jewish people: "The Jews ... are thus by their own Scriptures a testimony to us that we have not forged the prophecies about Christ."<Ref> Augustine, The City of God 18.46, in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers 2:389.</Ref><br />
|-<br />
| Others also supported forms of these perceptions like Origen, Luther and modern theologians like Karl Barth and his "theology of the Word". See '''[[Theology]]'''.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* [[Matthew 2]]:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. <br />
<br />
This a clear statement saying that if Jesus is the Christ he shall rule Israel. Anyone who rejects the king or chooses another king is no longer Israel.<br />
<br />
Even those who mocked Jesus knew he was the king of Israel.<br />
<br />
* [[Mark 15]]:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.<br />
<br />
Merely being called [[Christ]] is saying that someone is the King and many made this claim more clear with their words and praises.<br />
<br />
* [[John 1]]:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.<br />
<br />
* John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.<br />
<br />
* [[Acts 2]]:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.<br />
<br />
Jesus stated that he would take the kingdom from those Jews who were not following the ways of God.<br />
<br />
* [[Matthew 21]]:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.<br />
<br />
Jesus made it clear who he would appoint that kingdom to.<br />
<br />
* [[Luke 12]]:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.<br />
<br />
And then He [[appoint]]ed that [[kingdom of God]] here on earth to them and told them not to be like the princes and rulers of other nations who call themselves [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority one over the other.<br />
<br />
* [[Luke 22]]:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;<br />
<br />
Thousands of Jews accepted Christ as their king at [[Pentecost]] as these new appointed ministers of the kingdom worked daily in the temple rightly dividing the [[Daily ministration|bread from house to house]] and ministering to the people the [[Corban]] of Christ that made the word of God to effect in His kingdom. That [[daily ministration]] had been the responsibility of the '''[[Levites]]''' but now it was the responsibility of the [[early Church]] in the practice of [[Pure Religion]].<br />
<br />
Those who said they had no king but [[Caesar]] are no longer of the nation of Israel, the [[kingdom of God]]. Millions more of the "lost sheep"<Ref>Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.</Ref> were grafted into that [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].<br />
<br />
* [[John 19]]:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.<br />
<br />
But they may [[repent]] and seek that [[kingdom of God]] and his [[righteousness]].<br />
<br />
* [[Luke 1]]:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.<br />
<br />
The [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]] brought judgment upon those people who [[Persecution|persecuted the Church]] and those seeking that [[kingdom of God]]. [[Apostasy]] of the Church and an entanglement through a [[yoke]] of [[bondage]] were prophesied. Through [[covetous practices]], the people would become [[merchandise]] and [[curse children]].<br />
<br />
[[Constantine]] brought in his apostate Church with his watered down [[baptism]] but for a thousand years true Christians survived and thrived. The kingdoms of men ruling over men collapsed and withdrew from its dominance over men. Then came false Christians and their [[damnable heresies]] who brought inquisitions and crowned men over men.<br />
<br />
The problem today is the [[Modern Christian]] is under a [[strong delusion]]. They think they are professing Christ but they are actually [[workers of iniquity]]. The [[Modern Church]] does not instruct the people to sit down together in a [[network]] of [[tens]] as Christ [[commanded]] so that they may receive the true [[Eucharist]] of Christ. <br />
<br />
The people have pursued the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and seek [[social security]] through men who [[exercise authority]] one over the other. They do not live by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] and the [[perfect law of liberty]] but by the [[wages of unrighteousness]].<br />
<br />
The [[Modern Christian]] look to the [[Cain]]'s, [[Nimrod]]'s and [[Caesar]]'s of the [[world]] with an [[appetite]] for [[free bread]] and [[benefits]] at the [[Polybius|expense of their neighbor]].<br />
<br />
But they too may [[Repent]] and seek the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].<br />

<div>[[File:Levites.jpg|300px|right|thumb|When the people of Israel return to the pagan ways of the [[Golden calf]] [[Moses]] "[[called out]]" the [[faithful]] of Israel. The [[Levites]] were [[appoint]]ed to be the [[Church in the wilderness]] who would serve the the congregations of the people in patterns of [[Tens]]. [[Early Israel]] was learning to follow the [[righteousness]] of [[the way]] of God which is what [[Jesus]] would teach the [[early Church]] as the [[righteousness]] of God in the eternal quest for the [[kingdom of God]]. ]]<br />
<br />
== What is or who is Israel ==<br />
<br />
The [[Hebrew]] word in the [[Bible]] is defined {{03478}}.<br />
<br />
The first place we see the word is :<br />
* [[Genesis 32]]:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. {Israel: that is, A prince of God}<br />
<br />
It is important to understand that to say somethings [[name]] is to describe its character or nature. Those who say "Israel Only" in relation to the [[Gospel of the Kingdom]] often do not understand that the term is meant to identify a [[Spiritual_DNA_and_Gene_Expression|spiritual character]]. <br />
<br />
We see the יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל YodShemReishAlefLamed appears over 2500 times but 111 of those times there is a Beit at the beginning of the word and is often translated "in Israel". There are 50 times it begins with the letter Lamed and is translated to or "unto Israel". The word is from two words which is "sarah" meaning "preserver" as in have the "power of" and the word "el" meaning "god". If you are not a ''preserver'' or ''have the power'' of God then you are not Israel. You are not Israel just because you say you are.<br />
<br />
* [[Exodus 4]]:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, [[Israel]] [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:<br />
<br />
* [[Psalms 89]]:18 For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel [is] our king. <br />

| '''Comments Israel''' <br />
|-<br />
| : Supersessionism, also called replacement [[theology]] or fulfillment [[theology]], is a doctrine that holds that the early Christian Church has succeeded the Israelites as the definitive people of God. This view directly contrasts with dual-covenant [[theology]] which holds that the Mosaic covenant remains valid for Jews.<br />
|-<br />
|: Many [[Early Church]] commentators taught that Israel was replaced (superseded) by the Church:<br />
|-<br />
|* Justin Martyr (about 100 to 165): "For the true spiritual [[Israel]] ... are we who have been led to God through this crucified Christ."<Ref>Justin Martyr, Dialogue With Trypho 11, in Ante-Nicene Fathers 1:200.</Ref><br />
|-<br />
|* Hippolytus of Rome (martyred 13 August 235): "[The Jews] have been darkened in the eyes of your soul with a darkness utter and everlasting."<Ref> Hippolytus, Treatise Against the Jews 6, in Ante-Nicene Fathers 5.220.</Ref><br />
|-<br />
|* Tertullian (c. 155 – c. 240 AD): “Who else, therefore, are understood but we, who, fully taught by the new law, observe these practices,—the old law being obliterated, the coming of whose abolition the action itself demonstrates ... Therefore, as we have shown above that the coming cessation of the old law and of the carnal circumcision was declared, so, too, the observance of the new law and the spiritual circumcision has shone out into the voluntary observances of peace.”<Ref> An Answer to the Jews, Chapter 3</Ref><br />
|-<br />
|* Augustine (354–430) follows these views of the earlier Church Fathers, but he emphasizes the importance to Christianity of the continued existence of the Jewish people: "The Jews ... are thus by their own Scriptures a testimony to us that we have not forged the prophecies about Christ."<Ref> Augustine, The City of God 18.46, in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers 2:389.</Ref><br />
|-<br />
| Others also supported forms of these perceptions like Origen, Luther and modern theologians like Karl Barth and his "theology of the Word". See '''[[Theology]]'''.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
* [[Matthew 2]]:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. <br />
<br />
This a clear statement saying that if Jesus is the Christ he shall rule Israel. Anyone who rejects the king or chooses another king is no longer Israel.<br />
<br />
Even those who mocked Jesus knew he was the king of Israel.<br />
<br />
* [[Mark 15]]:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.<br />
<br />
Merely being called [[Christ]] is saying that someone is the King and many made this claim more clear with their words and praises.<br />
<br />
* [[John 1]]:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.<br />
<br />
* John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.<br />
<br />
* [[Acts 2]]:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.<br />
<br />
Jesus stated that he would take the kingdom from those Jews who were not following the ways of God.<br />
<br />
* [[Matthew 21]]:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.<br />
<br />
Jesus made it clear who he would appoint that kingdom to.<br />
<br />
* [[Luke 12]]:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.<br />
<br />
And then He [[appoint]]ed that [[kingdom of God]] here on earth to them and told them not to be like the princes and rulers of other nations who call themselves [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority one over the other.<br />
<br />
* [[Luke 22]]:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;<br />
<br />
Thousands of Jews accepted Christ as their king at [[Pentecost]] as these new appointed ministers of the kingdom worked daily in the temple rightly dividing the [[Daily ministration|bread from house to house]] and ministering to the people the [[Corban]] of Christ that made the word of God to effect in His kingdom. That [[daily ministration]] had been the responsibility of the '''[[Levites]]''' but now it was the responsibility of the [[early Church]] in the practice of [[Pure Religion]].<br />
<br />
Those who said they had no king but [[Caesar]] are no longer of the nation of Israel, the [[kingdom of God]]. Millions more of the "lost sheep"<Ref>Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.</Ref> were grafted into that [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].<br />
<br />
* [[John 19]]:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.<br />
<br />
But they may [[repent]] and seek that [[kingdom of God]] and his [[righteousness]].<br />
<br />
* [[Luke 1]]:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.<br />
<br />
The [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]] brought judgment upon those people who [[Persecution|persecuted the Church]] and those seeking that [[kingdom of God]]. [[Apostasy]] of the Church and an entanglement through a [[yoke]] of [[bondage]] were prophesied. Through [[covetous practices]], the people would become [[merchandise]] and [[curse children]].<br />
<br />
[[Constantine]] brought in his apostate Church with his watered down [[baptism]] but for a thousand years true Christians survived and thrived. The kingdoms of men ruling over men collapsed and withdrew from its dominance over men. Then came false Christians and their [[damnable heresies]] who brought inquisitions and crowned men over men.<br />
<br />
The problem today is the [[Modern Christian]] is under a [[strong delusion]]. They think they are professing Christ but they are actually [[workers of iniquity]]. The [[Modern Church]] does not instruct the people to sit down together in a [[network]] of [[tens]] as Christ [[commanded]] so that they may receive the true [[Eucharist]] of Christ. <br />
<br />
The people have pursued the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and seek [[social security]] through men who [[exercise authority]] one over the other. They do not live by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] and the [[perfect law of liberty]] but by the [[wages of unrighteousness]].<br />
<br />
The [[Modern Christian]] look to the [[Cain]]'s, [[Nimrod]]'s and [[Caesar]]'s of the [[world]] with an [[appetite]] for [[free bread]] and [[benefits]] at the [[Polybius|expense of their neighbor]].<br />
<br />
But they too may [[Repent]] and seek the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].<br />

== Atheist ==<br />
<br />
When people say they are atheists do they mean they do not believe in any god or only certain ideas about the gods people often claim or profess. [[Atheism]] is defined as "disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods". To really understand atheism, the terms "God or gods" should be clearly understood.<br />
<br />
: "''The more the [[early Christians]] reflected on the life and message of their rabbi-messiah, and the more they tried to live [[the way]] of the gospel, the harder they [[Christian conflict|collided with the state]] and its hopes and dreams, militaries and markets. In fact, Christians in those first few hundred years were called [[atheist]]s because they no longer believed in the Roman gospel; they no longer had any [[faith]] in the state as savior of the [[world]].''" <ref>[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0310687519/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0310687519&linkCode=as2&tag=eatonessentia-20 Jesus for President Pack: Politics for Ordinary Radicals]; Shane Claiborne; Section III: When the Empire Got Baptized; p141.</ref><br />
<br />
The [[early Church]] were accused and charged by [[Rome]] and its courts of [[atheism]].<Ref>“[[Justin the Martyr|Justin]], when refuting the charge of atheism writes, “We reverence and [[worship]] the [[Father]], and the Son, and the host of other good messengers (or angels), and the Prophetic Spirit,” And, “You call us [[atheist]]is: the charge is not true, for we not only believe in one God, who was sent by God.”” The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia By James Orr</Ref> Partly because they said ''there was another King one Jesus'',<Ref name-"another">[[Acts 17]]:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of [[Caesar]], saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.</Ref> who they called the [[Son of God]] which one of the official titles of [[Caesar]] along with [[Apotheos]], the ''appointer of gods''. There are [[gods]] many but who are those [[gods]]?<br />
<br />
What and how were they [[worship]]ped?<br />
<br />
Have we made covenants with strange gods and do we now bow down and serve them?<br />
<br />
After all what do you think the Romans and Greeks were doing in their [[Temples]] where the business of their governments took place?<br />
<br />
So, what we have today are false Christians and false atheists fighting with each other while both groups obliviously worship/serve/honor/obey/elect the "gods many" in their governments of coercion through the [[socialist]] [[welfare]] state where it is deemed good to [[covet]] your neighbors' goods through the [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] of men who call themselves [[benefactors]] and ''judges'' of what is ''good and evil'' for you. <br />
<br />
True Christians and true atheists happily co-exist while striving for a government based on respecting each other's liberty. They are generally called Libertarians or labelled [[Anarchist|Anarchists]] today. On the other hand, the "[[worship]]" of current false Christians and false atheists is based upon [[covet]]ing their neighbor's goods. They elect "gods many" to [[force]] their neighbors to pay for their child's education ([[Public education|public school]]), to finance their retirement ([[social security]]), to keep [[registration|records of birth]], [[marriage]], [[legal title|land ownership]], etc. So if your neighbor refuses this form of [[worship]] and does not pay for your [[wantonness]], your "[[gods|gods many]]" will take away their property and imprison them on your behalf.<br />
<br />
In the modern society of [[covetous practices]] they have chosen the [[wages of unrighteousness]]<Ref>[[2 Peter 2]]:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with [[covetous practices]]; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken [[the way|the right way]], and are gone astray, following the way of [[Balaam]] [the son] of Bosor, who loved the [[wages of unrighteousness]];</Ref> over the [[perfect law of liberty]] which allows the people to [[bite]] one another with their [[appetite]] for the [[knife|dainties of rulers]] and then they wonder why the [[masses]] have been devoured.<Ref>[[Galatians 5]]:15 But if ye '''bite''' and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.<br />
: [[Micah 3]]:5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.<br />
: Habakkuk 2:7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?<br />
:: [[Jeremiah 8]]:17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which [will] not [be] charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.<br />
:: Amos 9:3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:</Ref><br />
<br />
Those who are called Christians today would have been called Pharisees 2000 years ago and would crucify [[Jesus]] now just like they did then. (What! This Jesus character is suggesting his followers run a nation based on freewill offerings with ministers—government officials—who have no authority! That's not patriotic. Crucify him!)<br />
<br />
Those who label themselves atheists today would have enjoyed Jesus' teaching against state religion. [[Religion]] is simply society's social [[welfare]] safety net. [[Religion]] is mentioned five times in the bible and only once in a positive light when it indicates that [[Pure Religion|PURE religion]] is taking care of the needy without centralized government...<br />
<br />
"''[[Pure Religion|Pure religion]] and undefiled before God and the [[Father]] is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the [[world]].''" [https://bible.cc/james/1-27.htm [[James 1]]:27]<br />
<br />
That word "[[world]]" is translated from the word "[[kosmos]]" which simply means ''"an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government."'' [https://www.hisholychurch.org/news/articles/world.php My kingdom is not of this world]...<br />
<br />
True Christians and true atheists are seen by their [[fruit]]s... they have no need of centralized governments because they already have decentralized systems in place.<br />
<br />
Both groups would do well to study the [https://www.hisholychurch.org/study/history/Essenes2.php Essenes] to understand what the term "Christian" really meant 2000 years ago.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{#ev:youtube|P0A_iF1B3k0|300|right|God got it right but gave man a choice to eat of the [[tree of life]] or the [[tree of knowledge]]. The latter will bear the fruit of confusion in the mind of those who do not love the light of truth. A belief in a ''personal version'' of [[Religion]] or a [[Denominations|denomination]] is often a [[vain]] belief in your emotional opinion about God. If your belief in an opinion or [[Graven images|image of God]] is not accurate then it is not the God of creation that you believe in but probably one of the [[gods|gods many]] mentioned in the [[Bible]]. Your actions and deeds are a part of what you confess to be true. You will show evidence of the truth or falseness of your [[faith]]. Faith in ''your opinion about God'' is not necessarily the original meaning of [[Religion]]. The Religions represented in the video all look to ''men who [[exercise authority]]<Ref>[[Matthew 20]]:25 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great [[exercise authority]] upon them.<br />
: [[Mark 10]]:42 But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones [[exercise authority]] upon them.<br />
: [[Luke 22]]:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that [[exercise authority]] upon them are called [[benefactors]].</Ref> one over the other but call themselves [[Benefactors]]''. They ignore [[the way]] and [[Word of God|the words]] of Christ. They are all engaged in the modern systems of [[Corban]] and eat the dainties of rulers through [[covet]]ous systems of [[social security]] through the [[welfare state]]s of the [[world]] which ''make the [[Corban|words of God]] to none effect'' because they are the [[covetous practices]] that makes them all [[workers of iniquity]]. }}<br />
<br />
== Modern Atheists ==<br />
<br />
Atheists can be very religious people if you define religion as "what you think about a supreme being" which some dictionaries suggest. However at the same time even if you use the old definition found in Bouviers' Law Dictionary <Ref>“Real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men”</Ref>. Piety was defined as the duty to your [[Father]] and Mother and through them to others within your [[community]]. <br />
<br />
In other words [[Religion]] used to simply be how a nation, a people, or a society took [[care]] of its needy, with its social [[Welfare|welfare]], within their society, and the [[Gods|gods]] of those societies were the men in charge of making sure everyone gave their fair share and got their fair share. These gods were the men or women who meted out social justice.<Ref>[[Judges 10]]:14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.</Ref> <br />
<br />
The truth is the [[early Christians]] were often [[Christian conflict|persecuted]] by the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] for being [[Atheist|atheists]] because they had a God they could not see. After all, what do you think the Romans and Greeks were doing in their [[Temples]]?<br />
<br />
The modern [[atheist]] does have a religious belief in gods and supreme beings of the [[world]] who they pray to for their [[salvation]] and [[protection]] at the [[temples]] of his [[public religion]]. His or her religion is the god and gods of government who takes [[care]] of the needy by [[force]], [[fear]] and [[fealty]]. They demand his [[employ|service]] and [[allegiance]]. He is willing to live at the expense of his or her neighbor through [[covetous practices]] and institutes the rule of violence. The gods of government are the ''[[Gods|gods many]]'' Paul spoke of in [[1 Corinthians 8]]:5 "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)" <br />
<br />
These are the same [[Gods|gods]] with which we were not to make covenants, according to [[Exodus 23]]:32 "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods." The Bible they do not understand, written by the revelation of the God of the Bible gave them the secret of the [[perfect law of liberty]] under that God of the [[Law of Nature]].<br />
<br />
=== Religion of socialism ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Religion-latin.jpg|320px|right|thumb| There are [[Welfare types|two types]] of [[religion]] in the [[world]] today. There is [[public religion]] or [[civil religion]] that compel the offerings of the people and demands [[Employ|their service]], a portion if their labor, like in the [[bondage of Egypt]] and then their is [[Pure Religion]] that is unspotted by the [[force]], [[fear]], and [[fealty]] of the [[world]] which provides a [[daily ministration]] through [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]].<Br>The former binds the people in [[captivity]] sealed with [[the bands]] of endless debt and [[bondage]], while the latter sets the [[captive]] free but binds the people only with the [[social bonds]] of that mutual [[fervent charity]] and [[love]] for one another.]]<br />
<br />
Most modern [[Atheist]]s are often [[Socialist|socialist]] today. <br />
<br />
: “[[Socialism]] is the [[Religion|religion]] people get when they lose their [[Pure Religion|religion]]”<Ref>Richard John Neuhaus, 1936 – 2009, prominent American clergyman. </Ref><br />
<br />
Those who depend on the [[Gods|gods]] of government to collect the [[sacrifices]] of the [[masses]] on [[altars]] of [[civil religion]] and redistribute those offerings through the [[tables]] and [[temples]] of the [[Welfare state]] always become [[Human resources|merchandise]] and eventually through their [[covetous practices]] will [[curse children]] with endless [[debt]]. This is what Jesus called the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]], which made the [[word of God]], the [[Logos]], [[Right Reason]] to none effect, because it is not reasonable that you sell you neighbor into bondage and expect to remain free. <br />
<br />
Often the ruler chose or at least oversaw the appointment of these ''[[exercise authority|authoritarian ministers]]'' of society and were given titles like [[Apotheos]] or even [[Father]], or even the [[Son of God]].<br />
<br />
Because these man-made gods were [[Benefactors]] ''who exercised authority one over the other'', their systems of [[sacrifice]] or [[Corban]] were not [[Freewill offerings]] but [[force]]d or what was called [[tribute]]. This is why the God of heaven said through [[Moses]] and [[Christ]], we are to [[Love|love your neighbor as yourself]] through [[fervent charity]] and not [[bite]] one another through the [[covetous practices|covetous practice]] of compelled offerings ''made the word of God to none effect'' and eventually [[degenerate]] the people into [[perfect savages]] whose leaders become perverse [[tyrants]].<br />
<br />
This is why many [[socialist]]s do not want any moral criteria to getting [[benefits]] from their [[benefactors]]. They want entitlements no matter if they are moral or not. In fact, one of the great attractions to being an atheist is that there is little or no moral accountability.<br />

<br />
== Religion Defined ==<br />
<br />
[https://www.hisholychurch.org/news/articles/religion.php Religion] was defined 200 years ago as “Real piety in practice<Ref> At the same time piety was defined as the duty to your Father and Mother and through them to others with in your community.</Ref>, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men”<Ref name="Bouvier">'''[[Religion]]''' “Real piety in practice[1], consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men.” John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary</Ref>, and it is simply how a nation, a people, or a society takes care of its needy and therefore how they serve the God or [[Gods|gods]] they have chosen for themselves.<Ref>[[Judges 10]]:14 Go and cry unto the [[gods]] which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.</Ref><br />
<br />
Over time, religion was redefined by men to mean ''"what you think about a supreme being"''.<Ref>"The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods." [https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/religion Oxford Dictionary]</Ref> <br />
<br />
So, which definition is correct? <br />
<br />
The word ''religion'' is mentioned five times<Ref name="religious">{{religious}}</Ref> in the [[Bible]].<br />
<br />
Only once it appears in the text ([[James 1]]:27) as a positive good thing. <br />
<br />
Can you change what religion means in the Bible by changing the definition in the minds of men and women?<br />
<br />
The Bible tells us that ''[https://www.hisholychurch.org/news/articles/religion.php Pure religion] and undefiled before God and the [[Father]] is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the [[World|world]].'' (James 1:27)<br />
<br />
Do [[Modern Christians]] practice [[Pure Religion]] or do they practice [[Public religion]]?<br />
<br />
===Two Religions ===<br />
<br />
<br />
The difference between [[Pure Religion]] and [[Public religion]] is most often marked by the difference between voluntary acts of [[charity]] and forced compliance or contributions by authorities. This difference was at the core of the [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]] which had been in a process of decline for more than 200 years.<br />
<br />
Christians had their own [[daily ministration]] through the practice of [[charity]] by way of [[pure Religion]].<Ref>1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s [[table]], and of the [[table]] of devils.<br />
: Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and [[mammon]].<br />
: Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,</Ref> The Jews ate at the table of the [[Pharisees]] through the [[Corban]] of unrighteousness. Pagans ate at the [[table]] of [[Caesar]] by way of [[covetous practices]] of their [[temples]].<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Appetites ===<br />
<br />
[[Polybius]] saw the degeneration of the [[masses]] and the downfall of the [[republic]] a 150 years before the first [[Emperator|Emperor]] of [[Rome]] and 175 years before the birth of [[Jesus]] [[Christ]] and [[John the Baptist]].<br />
<br />
Some concluded from [[Polybius]] writings that he saw the use or at least the practice of ''religion'' at that time as a "[[superstition]]". There were those who reduced the wisdom of the ages to more mindless [[superstition]]s by unmooring the precepts from the [[metaphor]]s and [[allegory|allegories]] of the wise. They believed in the symbols of the ancient stories rather than their wisdom.<br />
<br />
Polybius used the term to described what was seen as a mysterious establishment of "cause and effect" many did not understand by reason nor personal revelation. <br />
<br />
He saw this "[[superstition]] in ancient [[Rome]]" as an "[[instrumentum regni]]" a term used by [[Tacitus]] meaning "instrument of rulers". Tacitus said there is "No better instrument of good government than being good friends"<Ref>Nullum maius boni imperii instrumentum quam bonos amicos esse» Tacitus, Historiae, IV 7.</Ref> He used the phrase to express the exploitation of a form of ''legal religion'' by State as a means of controlling the [[masses]]. These practices of [[Public religion]] through [[legal charity]] degenerated the social bonds of communities and weakened the people to achieve political power and control over a more compliant population.<br />
<br />
[[Public religion]] and [[legal charity]] could make the people extremely dependent upon the State and its free bread while they forgot the ancient ways of charity but clung to the symbols rather than their essence and meaning. The ancient ways were forgotten<Ref>[[Jeremiah 18]]:15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] a way not cast up;</Ref> as the people indulged in the [[dainties]] of the rulers often at the expense of their neighbors.<br />
<br />
<br />
For the State to gain power there would be no better way than show the people that you are the "bonos amicos" or ''good friend'' of the people by first spreading amongst them "[[dainties]] and gratuities". <Ref name="ruined">"That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them dainties and gratuities" [[Plutarch]]'s Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.)</Ref> Those [[dainties]] of the rulers are the "[[legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]] according to Proverbs, David and Paul and coveting them will make you [[merchandise]] according to Peter.<br />
<br />
This is why so many prophets and books of wisdom have been warning the people of their "[[appetite]] for [[benefits]]" or the [[dainties]] of rulers "and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of [[force]] and violence" alters the soul of society until they have "grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence...<Ref>[[Matthew 11]]:12 And from the days of [[John the Baptist]] until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. </Ref> and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,<Ref>[[Luke 16]]:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the [[kingdom of God]] is preached, and every man presseth into it.</Ref> until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." <Ref>quotes from [[Polybius]]'s ''The Histories'' (composed at [[Rome]] around 130 BC) Fragments of Book VI, p289. </Ref><br />
<br />
When the people turn [[religion]] into a ''superstition'' of mysterious doctrines rather than the daily practice of ''[[Religion|a pious duty to God and their fellowman]]'' through the practice of [[love]] and [[faith]] through [[charity]] and [[hope]] they will soon institute the rule of [[force]] to obtain their daily bread. Their [[appetite]] will ruin their nation.<Ref name="ruined">"That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them [[dainties]] and gratuities" [[Plutarch]]'s Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.)</Ref> As they [[bite]] one another they will be devoured one of the other. Their liberty will diminish.<Ref>'''“The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and [[benefits]].”''' [[Plutarch]]</Ref><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
== The morphing of meaning ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''"A plethora of lexicographer pave the highway to sophistry."'''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
When someone uses the word [[religion]] today they might think the word means:<br />
<br />
* “a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs or a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects...”<Ref>Dictionary.com says it means based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2013.</Ref><br />
<br />
But if you look up the same word in a dictionary published just a hundred years before, when many words we commonly use today were being changed, you will see that the word “religion” according to Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) meant:<br />
<br />
* “The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love, fear, or awe of some superhuman and over ruling power, whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites and ceremonies..." <br />
<br />
===Transition to an ideology ===<br />
<br />
In these two definitions, we see that “religion” in a hundred years went from meaning, “The outward act or form ” to meaning "a set of beliefs.”<br />
<br />
Changing the meaning of the word religion from an “act” to a “set of beliefs” was no small step to say nothing of the rest of the definition. <br />
<br />
An [[ideology]] is "a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or politic."<br />
<br />
Literally, an [[ideology]] is a set of opinions or beliefs of a group or an individual.Religion produces a system to provide for the performance a duty to your fellowman which establishes the [[social bonds]] or [[the bands|political bands]] of society while ideologies divide groups within society that establishes [factions at the altar|factions]] and [[denominations]] that can create opposition and [[Christian conflict|conflict]].<br />
<br />
But the change did not begin there. If we go back just a little over fifty years before that to John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary adapted to the Constitution of the United States we find that religion was first defined:<br />
<br />
: “Real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men.”<Ref>RELIGION. Real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men. <br />
: 2. There are many actions which cannot be regulated by human laws, and many duties are imposed by religion calculated to promote the happiness of society. Besides, there is an infinite number of actions, which though punishable by society, may be concealed from men, and which the magistrate cannot punish. In these cases men are restrained by the knowledge that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of a sovereign intelligent Being; that the soul never dies, that there is a state of future rewards and <br />
punishments; in fact that the most secret crimes will be punished. True religion then offers succors to the feeble, consolations to the unfortunate, and fills the wicked with dread. <br />
: 3. What Montesquieu says of a prince, applies equally to an individual. <br />
"A prince," says he, "who loves religion, is a lion, which yields to the hand that caresses him, or to the voice which renders him tame. He who fears religion and bates it, is like a wild beast, which gnaws, the chain which restrains it from falling on those within its reach. He who has no religion is like a terrible animal which feels no liberty except when it devours its victims or tears them in pieces." Esp. des, Lois, liv. 24, c. 1. <br />
: 4. But religion can be useful to man only when it is pure. The constitution of the United States has, therefore, wisely provided that it should never be united with the state. Art. 6, 3. Vide Christianity; Religious test; Theocracy. John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
Do not be confused or put off by the word "piety". While the word “piety” has come to mean “making a hypocritical display of virtue”<Ref>Definition of pious in the British & World English dictionary </Ref>, it formerly meant ''duty, especially to your parents and specifically to your father.'' <br />
<br />
Duty to your natural father was the origin of a patrimonial right leading the original practice of natural patriotism as a familial head. The was before the civil state became your father of a nation.<Ref>'''Call no man Father''', What was Christ trying to tell us about fathers on the earth?<br />
: "Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands." [[Immanuel Kant]] <br />
https://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/fatherabba.php</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Alterations Step by step ===<br />
<br />
The progression of the meaning of religion away from our Duty to God and our fellow man was gradual but steady.<br />
<br />
By 1828 Webster relegates to second place references to our ''duty to fellow men'' as we see in the John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary<Ref name="Bouvier"></Ref>:<br />
: "2. Religion, as distinct from theology, is godliness or <u>real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men</u>, in obedience to divine command, or from love to God and his law." <br />
<br />
Webster's primary definition in 1828 still contained an emphasis upon ''duty'', but it was written as: <br />
: "1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion." '''[https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/religion.html Webster's 1828 ]'''<br />
<br />
'''Webster's 1913''' definition continued to change but was still "an outward act" with a reference "to whom obedience, service, and honor are due":<br />
: "1. The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love, fear, or awe of some superhuman and overruling power, whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites and ceremonies, or by the conduct of life; a system of faith and worship; a manifestation of piety; as, ethical religions; monotheistic religions; natural religion; revealed religion; the religion of the Jews; the religion of idol worshipers." [1913 Webster]<br />
<br />
=== Reason entangled ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''"Some men weave their sophistry until their own reason is entangled."''' [[Samuel Johnson]]<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
This movement of the idea of [[religion]], away from being a [[Doer|duty]], to instead meaning someone who merely thinks a particular opinion or identifies with a line of thinking or [[ideology]] has removed most religions away from [[Pure Religion]] into [[covetous practices]] of [[Public religion]], civil religion, and [[False religion]]s.<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
Some link the term [[Religion]] to the Latin "religare", meaning "things bound". <br />
<br />
[[Marcus Tullius Cicero]] linked the term religion to the Latin term "relegere", which means “to read over again". <br />
<br />
Are the terms "religare" and "relegere" linked? <br />
<br />
Repeating information or ideas over and over is a way of linking your mind to particular ideas or ways of thinking. <br />
<br />
That brings us back to an idealogy of opinions that create division rather than Acts of duty which may create those [[social bonds]] through the practice of [[charity]].<br />
<br />
Even the Spanish “ligar” is a verb with a meaning of “connecting”. <br />
<br />
Since, the Latin word "re" has come to mean "in the matter of" it is from the ablative of "res" which literally means "thing". We see this in the phrase "[[Libera res publica]]" which means ''free from things public unless you are entangled in [[public religion]].<br />
<br />
=== Free from entanglements ===<br />
<br />
In [[James 1]]:27, we see the word [[religion]] used in place of the Greek word "thrēskia", which may refer to ''ceremonies'', or ''practices'' including ''acts'' and common ''discipline''. <br />
<br />
Religion is also an “expression of devotion to transcendent beings, especially as it expresses itself in cultic rites, worship”. <br />
<br />
The [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] provided a [[social safety net]] through men who call themselves [[benefactors]] but "[[exercise authority]] one over the other."<br />
<br />
<br />
The way we define [[worship]] and what the "transcendent being" calls the [[doer|people to do]] while [[love|loving one another]] is to do so in [[charity]].<br />
<br />
[[Pure Religion]] is [[the way]] to create the [[social bonds]] of free society through [[charity]] rather the ''[[legal charity]]'' of [[Cain]], [[Nimrod]], [[Caesar]] and [[FDR]].<br />

==False Religion==<br />
<br />
[[Image:falsereligion.jpg|link=falsereligion|190px|right|thumb|]]<br />
I wanted everyone to know that false teachers have been around for some time, and they are getting better at spreading falsehoods about the gospel. The Gospel of Christ presented Christ as the humble servant, and He was accepted as such by thousands of Jews, and also by gentiles like the Roman centurion and Samaritans and people all over. [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]] preached the gospel of Christ, and his "good news" was no different than Christ's Gospel.<br />
<br />
False teachers use quotes from the [[Bible]]. The [[serpent]] in the garden did the same thing, and the draw of Babylon entices because it presents many of the same ideas presented in the gospel. The [[Levite]], [[Korah]], drew a following by presenting his version of [[logic]] and evaluation (see [[Numbers 16]], verse 3 and the whole chapter).<br />
<br />
These kinds are drawing followers, and the philosophies of deception they spread have been around for some time, and they are full of distortions and twists of what the Bible really says. '''[[False_religion|Read more...]]'''<br />

[[Public religion]] and [[legal charity]] could make the people extremely dependent upon the State and its free bread while they forgot the ancient ways of charity but clung to the symbols rather than their essence and meaning. The ancient ways were forgotten<Ref>[[Jeremiah 18]]:15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] a way not cast up;</Ref> as the people indulged in the [[dainties]] of the rulers often at the expense of their neighbors.<br />
<br />
<br />
For the State to gain power there would be no better way than show the people that you are the "bonos amicos" or ''good friend'' of the people by first spreading amongst them "[[dainties]] and gratuities". <Ref name="ruined">"That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them dainties and gratuities" [[Plutarch]]'s Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.)</Ref> Those [[dainties]] of the rulers are the "[[legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]] according to Proverbs, David and Paul and coveting them will make you [[merchandise]] according to Peter.<br />
<br />
This is why so many prophets and books of wisdom have been warning the people of their "[[appetite]] for [[benefits]]" or the [[dainties]] of rulers "and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of [[force]] and violence" alters the soul of society until they have "grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence...<Ref>[[Matthew 11]]:12 And from the days of [[John the Baptist]] until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. </Ref> and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,<Ref>[[Luke 16]]:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the [[kingdom of God]] is preached, and every man presseth into it.</Ref> until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." <Ref>quotes from [[Polybius]]'s ''The Histories'' (composed at [[Rome]] around 130 BC) Fragments of Book VI, p289. </Ref><br />
<br />
When the people turn [[religion]] into a ''superstition'' of mysterious doctrines rather than the daily practice of ''[[Religion|a pious duty to God and their fellowman]]'' through the practice of [[love]] and [[faith]] through [[charity]] and [[hope]] they will soon institute the rule of [[force]] to obtain their daily bread. Their [[appetite]] will ruin their nation.<Ref name="ruined">"That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them [[dainties]] and gratuities" [[Plutarch]]'s Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.)</Ref> As they [[bite]] one another they will be devoured one of the other. Their liberty will diminish.<Ref>'''“The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and [[benefits]].”''' [[Plutarch]]</Ref><br />

== The morphing of meaning ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''"A plethora of lexicographer pave the highway to sophistry."'''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
When someone uses the word [[religion]] today they might think the word means:<br />
<br />
* “a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs or a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects...”<Ref>Dictionary.com says it means based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2013.</Ref><br />
<br />
But if you look up the same word in a dictionary published just a hundred years before, when many words we commonly use today were being changed, you will see that the word “religion” according to Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) meant:<br />
<br />
* “The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love, fear, or awe of some superhuman and over ruling power, whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites and ceremonies..." <br />
<br />
===Transition to an ideology ===<br />
<br />
In these two definitions, we see that “religion” in a hundred years went from meaning, “The outward act or form ” to meaning "a set of beliefs.”<br />
<br />
Changing the meaning of the word religion from an “act” to a “set of beliefs” was no small step to say nothing of the rest of the definition. <br />
<br />
An [[ideology]] is "a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or politic."<br />
<br />
Literally, an [[ideology]] is a set of opinions or beliefs of a group or an individual.Religion produces a system to provide for the performance a duty to your fellowman which establishes the [[social bonds]] or [[the bands|political bands]] of society while ideologies divide groups within society that establishes [factions at the altar|factions]] and [[denominations]] that can create opposition and [[Christian conflict|conflict]].<br />
<br />
But the change did not begin there. If we go back just a little over fifty years before that to John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary adapted to the Constitution of the United States we find that religion was first defined:<br />
<br />
: “Real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men.”<Ref>RELIGION. Real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men. <br />
: 2. There are many actions which cannot be regulated by human laws, and many duties are imposed by religion calculated to promote the happiness of society. Besides, there is an infinite number of actions, which though punishable by society, may be concealed from men, and which the magistrate cannot punish. In these cases men are restrained by the knowledge that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of a sovereign intelligent Being; that the soul never dies, that there is a state of future rewards and <br />
punishments; in fact that the most secret crimes will be punished. True religion then offers succors to the feeble, consolations to the unfortunate, and fills the wicked with dread. <br />
: 3. What Montesquieu says of a prince, applies equally to an individual. <br />
"A prince," says he, "who loves religion, is a lion, which yields to the hand that caresses him, or to the voice which renders him tame. He who fears religion and bates it, is like a wild beast, which gnaws, the chain which restrains it from falling on those within its reach. He who has no religion is like a terrible animal which feels no liberty except when it devours its victims or tears them in pieces." Esp. des, Lois, liv. 24, c. 1. <br />
: 4. But religion can be useful to man only when it is pure. The constitution of the United States has, therefore, wisely provided that it should never be united with the state. Art. 6, 3. Vide Christianity; Religious test; Theocracy. John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
Do not be confused or put off by the word "piety". While the word “piety” has come to mean “making a hypocritical display of virtue”<Ref>Definition of pious in the British & World English dictionary </Ref>, it formerly meant ''duty, especially to your parents and specifically to your father.'' <br />
<br />
Duty to your natural father was the origin of a patrimonial right leading the original practice of natural patriotism as a familial head. The was before the civil state became your father of a nation.<Ref>'''Call no man Father''', What was Christ trying to tell us about fathers on the earth?<br />
: "Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands." [[Immanuel Kant]] <br />
http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/fatherabba.php</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Alterations Step by step ===<br />
<br />
The progression of the meaning of religion away from our Duty to God and our fellow man was gradual but steady.<br />
<br />
By 1828 Webster relegates to second place references to our ''duty to fellow men'' as we see in the John Bouvier's 1856 Law Dictionary<Ref name="Bouvier"></Ref>:<br />
: "2. Religion, as distinct from theology, is godliness or <u>real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men</u>, in obedience to divine command, or from love to God and his law." <br />
<br />
Webster's primary definition in 1828 still contained an emphasis upon ''duty'', but it was written as: <br />
: "1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion." '''[http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/religion.html Webster's 1828 ]'''<br />
<br />
'''Webster's 1913''' definition continued to change but was still "an outward act" with a reference "to whom obedience, service, and honor are due":<br />
: "1. The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love, fear, or awe of some superhuman and overruling power, whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites and ceremonies, or by the conduct of life; a system of faith and worship; a manifestation of piety; as, ethical religions; monotheistic religions; natural religion; revealed religion; the religion of the Jews; the religion of idol worshipers." [1913 Webster]<br />
<br />
=== Reason entangled ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''"Some men weave their sophistry until their own reason is entangled."''' [[Samuel Johnson]]<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
This movement of the idea of [[religion]], away from being a [[Doer|duty]], to instead meaning someone who merely thinks a particular opinion or identifies with a line of thinking or [[ideology]] has removed most religions away from [[Pure Religion]] into [[covetous practices]] of [[Public religion]], civil religion, and [[False religion]]s.<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
Some link the term [[Religion]] to the Latin "religare", meaning "things bound". <br />
<br />
[[Marcus Tullius Cicero]] linked the term religion to the Latin term "relegere", which means “to read over again". <br />
<br />
Are the terms "religare" and "relegere" linked? <br />
<br />
Repeating information or ideas over and over is a way of linking your mind to particular ideas or ways of thinking. <br />
<br />
That brings us back to an idealogy of opinions that create division rather than Acts of duty which may create those [[social bonds]] through the practice of [[charity]].<br />
<br />
Even the Spanish “ligar” is a verb with a meaning of “connecting”. <br />
<br />
Since, the Latin word "re" has come to mean "in the matter of" it is from the ablative of "res" which literally means "thing". We see this in the phrase "[[Libera res publica]]" which means ''free from things public unless you are entangled in [[public religion]].<br />
<br />
=== Free from entanglements ===<br />
<br />
In [[James 1]]:27, we see the word [[religion]] used in place of the Greek word "thrēskia", which may refer to ''ceremonies'', or ''practices'' including ''acts'' and common ''discipline''. <br />
<br />
Religion is also an “expression of devotion to transcendent beings, especially as it expresses itself in cultic rites, worship”. <br />
<br />
The [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] provided a [[social safety net]] through men who call themselves [[benefactors]] but "[[exercise authority]] one over the other."<br />
<br />
<br />
The way we define [[worship]] and what the "transcendent being" calls the [[doer|people to do]] while [[love|loving one another]] is to do so in [[charity]].<br />
<br />
[[Pure Religion]] is [[the way]] to create the [[social bonds]] of free society through [[charity]] rather the ''[[legal charity]]'' of [[Cain]], [[Nimrod]], [[Caesar]] and [[FDR]].<br />

==False Religion==<br />
<br />
[[Image:falsereligion.jpg|link=falsereligion|190px|right|thumb|]]<br />
I wanted everyone to know that false teachers have been around for some time, and they are getting better at spreading falsehoods about the gospel. The Gospel of Christ presented Christ as the humble servant, and He was accepted as such by thousands of Jews, and also by gentiles like the Roman centurion and Samaritans and people all over. [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]] preached the gospel of Christ, and his "good news" was no different than Christ's Gospel.<br />
<br />
False teachers use quotes from the [[Bible]]. The [[serpent]] in the garden did the same thing, and the draw of Babylon entices because it presents many of the same ideas presented in the gospel. The [[Levite]], [[Korah]], drew a following by presenting his version of [[logic]] and evaluation (see [[Numbers 16]], verse 3 and the whole chapter).<br />
<br />
These kinds are drawing followers, and the philosophies of deception they spread have been around for some time, and they are full of distortions and twists of what the Bible really says. '''[[False_religion|Read more...]]'''<br />

== Death plot ==<br />
<br />
[1] When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:<br />
<br />
[2] And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to [[Pontius Pilate]] the governor.<br />
<br />
== Judas repents ==<br />
<br />
[3] Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, [[repent]]ed himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief [[priests]] and [[elders]],<br />
<br />
[4] Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.<Ref>[[Deuteronomy 19]]:10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee.<br />
: [[Psalms 106]]:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.<br />
: [[Proverbs 1]]:10 ¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have [[one purse]]: 15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.<br />
: [[Proverbs 6]]:16 These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.<br />
: [[Galatians 5]]:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye [[bite]] and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.</Ref> And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.<br />
<br />
[5] And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.<br />
<br />
== Not with Corban ==<br />
<br />
[6] And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the [[Corban|treasury]]<Ref name="corban">{{07133}}</Ref>, because it is the price of blood.<br />
<br />
[7] And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.<br />
<br />
[8] Wherefore that field was called, [[The field of blood]], unto this day.<br />
<br />
[9] Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,<Ref name="Jeremy">“7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. 8 So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. 9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.” Jeremiah 32:7-9<br />
: “2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.” [[Jeremiah 18]]:2-4</Ref> saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;<br />
<br />
[10] And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.<br />
<br />
== King of the Jews == <br />
<br />
[11] And Jesus stood before the governor:<Ref name="Notworld">{{Notworld}}</Ref> and the governor<Ref name="hegemon">{{2232}}</Ref> asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, <span style="color:red">'''Thou sayest. '''</span><br />
<br />
[12] And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. <br />
<br />
[13] Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? <br />
<br />
[14] And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.<br />
<br />
== The feast the governor ==<br />
<br />
[15] Now at that feast the governor<Ref name="hegemon">{{2232}}</Ref> was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.<br />
<br />
[16] And they had then a notable<Ref name="episemos">{{1978}}</Ref> prisoner<Ref name="desmios">{{1198}}</Ref>, called [[Barabbas]].<br />
<br />
[17] Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? [[Barabbas]], or Jesus which is called Christ?<br />
<br />
[18] For he knew that for envy<Ref name="phthonos">{{5355}}</Ref> they had delivered him.<br />
<br />
=== Wife of the governor ===<br />
<br />
[19] When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife<Ref>Procula, later date, she acquires the name Claudia Procula. She is considered a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Eastern Catholic Church, the Coptic Church, and the Ethiopian Church. 2 But while he thought to rise, his own wife who stood at a distance, sent to him, saying ''Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered much concerning him in a vision this night.'' 3 When the Jews heard this they said to Pilate, Did we not say unto thee, He is a conjuror? Behold, he hath caused thy wife to dream." [[Nicodemus#CHAP._II.|Nicodemus, Chapter II]].</Ref> sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.<br />
<br />
=== Persuaded the multitude ===<br />
<br />
[20] But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask [[Barabbas]], and destroy Jesus.<br />
<br />
[21] The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, [[Barabbas]].<br />
<br />
[22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.<br />
<br />
=== Let him be crucified ===<br />
<br />
[23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.<br />
<br />
[24] When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent<Ref name="athoos">{{121}}</Ref> of the blood<Ref name="haima">{{129}}</Ref> of this just person<Ref name="dikaios">{{1342}}</Ref>: see ye to it.<br />
<br />
[25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.<br />
<br />
[26] Then released he [[Barabbas]] unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.<br />
<br />
== The scarlet robe ==<br />
<br />
[27] Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.<br />
<br />
[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.<Ref>--</Ref> <br />
<br />
[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!<br />
<br />
[30] And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.<br />
<br />
[31] And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.<br />
<br />
== Simon Cyrene ==<br />
<br />
[32] And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross<br />
<br />
== Golgotha ==<br />
<br />
[33] And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,<br />
<br />
[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.<br />
<br />
[35] And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.<Ref> : [[Luke 23]]:11-12“11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.” <br />
: “35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.” Matthew 27:35, <br />
: “24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.” Mark 15:24<br />
: “34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” [[Luke 23]]:34, <br />
:Matthew 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. ... Matthew 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify [him].<br />
: John 19:2-3...5 “2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. ... 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!"<br />
: [[John 19]]: “24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.” John 19:24 </Ref><br />
<br />
[36] And sitting down they watched him there;<br />
<br />
== [[King of the Jews]] ==<br />
<br />
[37] And set up over his head his accusation written, [[King of the Jews|THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS]].<br />
<br />
[38] Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.<br />
<br />
[39] And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,<br />
<br />
[40] And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.<br />
<br />
== Mocked ==<br />
<br />
[41] Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,<br />
<br />
[42] He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.<br />
<br />
[43] He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the [[Son of God]].<br />
<br />
== The thieves also ==<br />
<br />
[44] The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.<br />
<br />
[45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.<br />
<br />
== Forsaken ==<br />
<br />
[46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, <span style="color:red">'''Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?'''</span> that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?<br />
<br />
[47] Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.<br />
<br />
[48] And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.<br />
<br />
[49] The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.<br />
<br />
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.<br />
<br />
== The veil divide ==<br />
<br />
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;<br />
<br />
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,<br />
<br />
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.<br />
<br />
[54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.<br />
<br />
[55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:<br />
<br />
[56] Among which was [[Mary Magdalene]], and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.<br />
<br />
== The body ==<br />
<br />
[57] When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:<br />
<br />
[58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.<br />
<br />
[59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,<br />
<br />
[60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.<br />
<br />
[61] And there was [[Mary Magdalene]], and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.<br />
<br />
== Guard the tomb ==<br />
<br />
[62] Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,<br />
<br />
[63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.<br />
<br />
[64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.<br />
<br />
[65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.<br />
<br />
[66] So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.<br><br />

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before.

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before. And that means a lot to young people who are entering the workforce for the first time. That means that here are a set of skills that they can learn and gain from that will give them opportunities for employment...and that's really exciting. '''It's a bit like learning to develop an iOS application six or seven years ago or how to develop an HTML website 15 years ago. It's the kind of skills you can build and launch a career on.'''"<br />

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before. And that means a lot to young people who are entering the workforce for the first time. That means that here are a set of skills that they can learn and gain from that will give them opportunities for employment...and that's really exciting. '''It's a bit like learning to develop an iOS application six or seven years ago or how to develop an HTML website 15 years ago. It's the kind of skills you can build and launch a career on.'''"<br />

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before. And that means a lot to young people who are entering the workforce for the first time. That means that here are a set of skills that they can learn and gain from that will give them opportunities for employment...and that's really exciting. '''It's a bit like learning to develop an iOS application six or seven years ago or how to develop an HTML website 15 years ago. It's the kind of skills you can build and launch a career on.'''"<br />

"Bitcoin as an industry is generating thousands of jobs and lots of start-ups that are doing very new and interesting things that have never been done before. And that means a lot to young people who are entering the workforce for the first time. That means that here are a set of skills that they can learn and gain from that will give them opportunities for employment...and that's really exciting. '''It's a bit like learning to develop an iOS application six or seven years ago or how to develop an HTML website 15 years ago. It's the kind of skills you can build and launch a career on.'''"<br />

While many [[modern Church]]es have concluded from an interpretation of Paul that “all you have to do is believe”<Ref> [[Galatians 2]]:16 "Knowing that a man is not [[1344|justified]] by the [[2041|works]] of the [[3551|law]], but by the [[faith]] of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be [[1344|justified]].'''(Do he mean the laws of the [[Pharisees]] or the law of God? John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said unto him, '''If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him'''.” )'''<br />
: [[Galatians 3]]:22 "But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by [[faith]] of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." '''(Do they believe the whole gospel?)'''<br />
: [[Acts 15]]:11 "But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."<br />
: [[Acts 16]]:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."<br />
: [[Romans 10]]:9 That if thou shalt [[confess]] with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." </Ref> and you are saved by [[grace]] we need to ask if we are saved by grace<Ref name="grace"><br />
: [[Acts 15]]:11 But we believe that through the [[grace]] of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.<br />
: [[Ephesians 2]]:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by [[grace]] ye are saved;)<br />
: [[Ephesians 2]]:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:<br />
: [[2 Timothy 1]]:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and [[grace]], which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,<br />
: [[Genesis 47]]:25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.</Ref> which is true. But we need to ask ourself if we believe in the real Gospel and have faith in the real Jesus? <br />
<br />
In [[John 3]]:16 we are told, “For God so loved the [[world]], that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” <br />
<br />
But we know that this was so that we [[might be saved]].<br />
<br />
Jesus goes on to say in [[John 3]]:19 “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the [[world]], and men loved [[darkness]] rather than light, because their deeds were [[evil]]. 20 For every one that doeth [[evil]] hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth [[truth]] cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”<br />
<br />
What we doeth and our deeds are the manifistation of our true faith or lack of faith. If we are going to ask and answer honestly questions like:<br />
<br />
: Do we ''Believe on the '''''real''''' Lord Jesus Christ''?<Ref>[[Acts 16]]:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.</Ref><br />
<br />
Or<br />
<br />
: Are we [[confess]]ing the '''real''' Jesus Christ with our mouth?<Ref>[[Romans 10]]:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.</Ref><br />
<br />
We will also need to know what is [[iniquity]], [[evil]] or deeds that manifest that we or anyone hates the light or the truth?<br />
<br />
Fortunately, we have the rest of the words of Christ in scripture to check what is the true [[Doctrine of Jesus]].<br />
<br />
We know there will be false Christs, so how do we know we believe in the right one?<Ref>[[Matthew 24]]:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.<br />
: [[Mark 13]]:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.<br />
: [[1 Corinthians 15]]:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.<br />
: [[2 Corinthians 11]]:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.<br />
: [[Galatians 2]]:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:</Ref><br />
<br />
Jesus was absolutely clear that "Many" would think the believe and know him but clearly did not.<Ref> [[Matthew 7]]:22 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."</Ref> <br />
<br />
Christ taught something that seems to be quite different than what the [[modern Church]] tries to tell us Paul meant by a [[believer]]. <br />
<br />
It is also evident that Paul's and Christ's views of who qualifies as a true [[believer]] may be much different than what [[Modern Christians]] want to accept as true.<br />
<br />
When Jesus was asked, "Are there few that be saved?" <Ref>[[Luke 13]]:23 "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,"</Ref> His answer was that we should [[strive]] because '''many''' would not be able to enter in.<Ref>[[Luke 13]]:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."</Ref><br />
<br />
Just as Jesus taught concerning the [[foolish virgins]] he speaks again about refusing to let people enter proclaiming that he does not even know them.<Ref>[[Luke 13]]:25 "When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:</Ref><br />
<br />
These are people who believe they are Christians and think they are saved but are not. He makes it clear that "many"<Ref name="many">[[Matthew 7]]:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work [[iniquity]]. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:<br />
: [[Matthew 8]]:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.<br />
: [[Matthew 13]]:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].<br />
: [[Matthew 24]]:5 "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."<br />
: [[Luke 13]]:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."</Ref> will be under this [[strong delusion]]. Jesus warns in no uncertain terms that these people who think they are saved and count themselves followers of Christ and [[believer]]s will be sent away and counted as [[workers of iniquity]].<br />
: [[Luke 13]]:27 "But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] [[workers of iniquity]]."<br />
<br />
Why did he say this?<br />
<br />
Who was he talking to?<br />
<br />
His answer to "strive" because ''many'' will not make it seems to contradict Paul. They think they are in the king's favor<Ref>[[Luke 13]]:26 "Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets."</Ref> but the king makes it clear that they should go away because they are actually [[workers of iniquity]].<br />
<br />
God is a [[doer]] and He wants us to be [[doer|doers]] like Him. His parable of the [[talent|talents]] makes it clear that those who do nothing with what God gives them are iniquitous and will be punished.<Ref>[[Matthew 25]]:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him, that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.<br />
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.</Ref><br />
<br />
He goes on to say to those he calls the "blessed of my Father" that they will "inherit the kingdom prepared for" them<Ref>[[Matthew 25]]:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:<br />
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:<br />
36 [[Naked]], and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.<br />
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?<br />
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?<br />
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?<br />
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
Others who seem to think they are Christians are rejected, not because of what they think but because of what they do.<Ref>[[Matthew 25]]:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:<br />
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:<br />
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.<br />
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?<br />
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.<br />
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.<br />
</Ref><br />
<br />
== Authority to do ==<br />
<br />
Someone said "All authority originates from God, even secular authority." <br />
<br />
That statement may be very misleading. <br />
<br />
Men are endowed by God with certain unalienable rights, which is true.<br />
<br />
All secular authority originally belonged to the people individually in their original natural state. It is the people who endow governments with rights, not God. They do this by making [[social compacts]] with man made institutions established by contracts, covenants and constitutions. As a result of [[CCC|contracts, covenants and constitutions]] governments have a "secular authority" which God originally gave the people. <br />
<br />
But God said in [[Exodus 23]]:32 "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods." [[COg|see ''Covenants of the gods'']]<br />
<br />
When the people bound themselves to [[Cain]], Lemech, and [[Nimrod]]—or even [[Saul]]—they sinned. They were ''rejecting'' God. God wants men to be ruled in their hearts and mind by Him because the people love Him and [[The Way|His way]].<br />
<br />
How does God's way differ from the ways of [[Cain]] and [[Nimrod]]?<br />
<br />
In [[Ezekiel 16]]:49 we see "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."<br />
<br />
This has nothing to do with recognizing the authority of civil government. We not only recognize it, we recognize how they get their authority. And they get more and more authority because of our [[Wantonness|avarice]] and [[Slothful|sloth]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:Fract10s-100sc.jpg|250px|right|thumb|link=The Living Network|The most predominant form of [[government]] throughout history has been based on voluntary systems composed of a [[Network]] of what was called the [[tens]], hundreds, and thousands. Salvation of God is a gift. <Br><br />
But with that we can also say that without the works of repentance we have evidence that our claim to [[faith]] is false and our faith is not alive but dead.<Br><br />
We know that "many"<Ref name="many"></Ref> who think they believe will actually not be saved.<Br><br />
So the question before us all is, do we have the works of [[repent]]ance or the [[Workers of Iniquity|works of iniquity]]. Many today have works that are of iniquity, lack evidence of [[forgive]]ness or the [[love]] of or for [[Christ]].<Br><br />
Saying you believe, making an emotional altar call, convincing your self that God loves you and making claims of [[faith]] in Christ along with many of the other tactics of the [[Modern Christians]] will not save you nor show the [[fruit]] of repentance. <Br><br />
Until [[Modern Christians]] are doing what [[early Christians]] were doing, they are likely unsaved because they are clearly not seeking the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] but, rather, self-justification through religious ideology.]]<br />
<br />
They get that authority because people pretending to be Christians or followers of God actually covet their neighbor's goods and sign up for benefits at their neighbor's expense and even their children's expense because they [[Sabbath|borrow against the future]] to obtain [[benefits]] today. <br />
<br />
Their [[Covetous Practices]] cause them to plunge themselves and their [[Curse children|children]] into endless debt even while they are still in the womb. They are greedy for gain, slothful in their faith, and delinquent in their charity. <br />
<br />
There are those who say they are righteous because they do not eat of the table of those [[Benefactors]] who force the contributions of the people but they also do not come together and set the table of the Lord with diligent [[sacrifice]] and [[Fervent Charity]]. They are the [[Foolish virgins]] who waste their oil on themselves and the ones who have a form of godliness but not the fruit of [[repent]]ance provided by the people with a kingdom heart. They often bring division.<Ref>Mark 3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.</Ref><br />
<br />
They actually get their [[daily ministration|daily bread]] from men who ''exercise authority'' but call themselves [[Benefactors]] and are, in truth, those same ''[[fathers]] of the earth'' we should not be praying to.<br />
<br />
One of the problems today is that people often like to think they are the "chosen people, royal priests, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession" that Peter was talking about<Ref>[[1 Peter 2]]:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:</Ref> when, in truth, they are the "[[workers of iniquity]]" that Jesus was talking about in [[Luke 13]]:27 "But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] [[workers of iniquity]]."<br />
<br />
David warned us to in [[Psalms 53]]:4 "Have the [[workers of iniquity]] no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God." <br />
<br />
What people do not want to see is that through their [[Public religion]] and [[Covetous Practices]] they are [[Biting one another]] through wicked [[priests]]<Ref>Jeremiah 23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.</Ref> and unholy nations.<br />
<br />
Paul makes it absolutely clear that even if you say you believe your actions will speak louder than your words. He gives us an extensive list of those who we should turn away even though they think they are believers.<Ref>[[1 Timothy 1]]:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,<br />
[[2 Timothy 3]]:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,<br />
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;<br />
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.<br />
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,<br />
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
What we are sharing with you has everything to do with obeying God, seeking the [[righteousness]] of His [[Kingdom of God]] at hand and not [[covet]]ing your neighbor's goods or anything that is thy neighbors. This means that you should be [[seek]]ing to come together in the name of [[Christ]] like the [[early Church]] so that you would not have to be [[Biting one another]] through those [[Benefactors]] and the ''[[fathers]] of the earth'' upon which people now depend.<br />
<br />
Why? <br />
<br />
Because God and Jesus said so in [[Exodus 20]]:17 "Thou shalt not [[covet]] thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour’s."<br />

<br />
<br />
== The Gap ==<br />
<br />
Some people who think they are Christians are actually far from Christ.<Ref>Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.<br />
: Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from me.</Ref><br />
<br />
What the [[Modern Christians]] have done is imagined that they are supposed to make [[contract]]s and [[CCC|covenants]] with the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority by way of applications for [[benefits]]. <br />
<br />
The institutions they create in order to be saved from the calamities of the world are the ''works of iniquity'' mentioned in the [[Bible]].<Ref name="workiniquity">{{workiniquity}}</Ref><br />
<br />
They think it is okay to [[covet]] what belongs to their neighbors as long as they do it through men who exercise authority even though Jesus said not to be that way. They even do this by [[Swear not|swearing oaths]] which Jesus said not to do and they did all that to get [[benefits]] at the expense of their neighbor from rulers who call themselves [[Benefactors]] but simply take from others. <br />
<br />
Real Christians were executed because they would not sign up for those systems' of [[benefits]] at the expense of their neighbor because they knew that was coveting their neighbors' goods. They were also executed because they would not take oaths of allegiance. [[Modern Christians]] do all these things. <br />
<br />
The truth is [[Modern Christians]] are not real Christians. They say they believe in Jesus and God but they do not do what Jesus and God said to do. They do not govern themselves through their churches by faith hope and charity but they do govern themselves through the public religions they created by contract by signing up for [[benefits]] provided not by charity but by force. Real Christians do not do that. They keep the commandments. The modern church was instituted to make [[Modern Christians]] feel like they are real Christians while they are actually workers of iniquity.<br />
[[File:iniquitypsalms5.jpg|right|300px]]<br />
: [[Luke 13]]:27 "But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity."<br />
<br />
You see the "modern Christian" has no king but Caesar like the [[Pharisees]] before them. They do not say "there is another king, one Jesus" like the Apostles did. They do not want to see [[Christian conflict|why Christians were persecuted]] by many of the Caesar's of the [[world]] because then they would have to admit that they have not repented nor do they actually love the real Jesus Christ who said not to pray for your [[benefits]] from men who exercise authority and use force, but instead [[Christians check list|Real Christians]] live by [[charity]]. <br />
<br />
So what you are seeing now is "[[modern Christian]]s" who have no more choice because they must bow down and serve men and women like "Boehner and Pelosi" because they have become "[[merchandise]]" because of their covetous practices. They are under a strong delusion and have need of repentance. Thy need to stop coveting their neighbors goods and start being a real church providing the needs of their society by faith, hope and charity like real Christians and then they might get their right to choose back.<br />
<br />
But some say: <br />
* They take no [[benefits]]. <br />
* They do not apply to these [[benefactors]] who exercise authority one over the other.<br />
* They did not go to public school. <br />
* Nor send their children to public school. <br />
* Nor apply to the [[Fathers]] of the earth for unemployment, food stamps, welfare? <br />
* They will not collect [[Not so Secure Socialism|Social Security]].<br />
* Nor leave their parents to collect [[Not so Secure Socialism|Social Security]] from a bankrupt system impounding debt for the next generation.<br />
<br />
<br />
That would be great if that were true but still that is not seeking the [[Kingdom of God]] nor His righteousness because he would have to practice [[Pure Religion]] to do that. <br />
<br />
Does he know what [[Pure Religion]] is?<br />
<br />
He would have to be a [[Doers of the Word|Doer of the Word]].<br />
<br />
How do we loose "bands of wickedness"?<br />
<br />
How do we break the "yoke" which comes with these benefits which form that [[snare]] which takes our liberty from us with the offer of [[Plutarch|"gifts, gratuities and benefits"]] at the expense of our neighbor?<br />

<br />
Christ spoke against the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] which was a social [[welfare]] system based on membership and compelled offerings. http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Corban<br />
<br />
Christ Paul, Peter spoke against coveting and most of the people who call themselves Christians desire the benefits of men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority which Christ spoke against.<br />
<br />
http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Benefactors<br />
<br />
[[John the Baptist]] and Christ spoke against using force but said to use charity in obtaining the gifts and gratuities of society, which is what [[Baptism]] of John and Christ was all about.<br />
<br />
http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Baptism<br />
<br />
We do not speak against government. We speak against sloth and covetousness, We speak against a watered down do nothing Christianity that has allowed and even comforted the people to indulge in a welfare state based on debt and bondage instead of taking care of one another through faith hope and [[charity]] and the [[perfect law of liberty]].<br />
<br />
http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Perfect_law_of_liberty<br />
<br />
[[Corban]] has always been a sacrifice of the people for the people and by the people. the [[Temples|temples]] were government buildings that managed that sacrifice in the service to the tents or homes of the people. In the testaments it was supposed to be a "[[Freewill offerings|Freewill offering]]" where the people had a choice. But once you sign up for the system operated by men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] you have no choice. Your choice is made when you or your parents signed up just like Israel signed up in Egypt and went into [[Bondage|bondage]]. Americans signed up under FDR and now they are entangled again in the [[elements]] of the [[world]].<br />
<br />
How many people take care of their parents or instead have them collect from the [[Social Security|bankrupt treasury]] of their public [[Temples|temples]]? Some will tell you they take no benefits but who took care of their parents? Did they or did they have the public [[Temples|temple]] of social security borrow money from the future of their children and their neighbor's children so that they did not have to entirely take care of their parents.<br />
<br />
So you see once you think that religion is what you think about God instead of the definition that it was how you performed your duty to God and your fellow man and your parents as it says in the ten commandments then you are open to think that it is okay to apply to those Benefactors who exercise authority to provide for your parents so that you have to do no more ought for them.<br />

<br />
The people today are often in error about so many events of History that they cannot see the truth when it is right in front of them because of preconceived ideas.<br />
<br />
This is partly due to their own vanity concerning their education but also the opiate and vanity of their [[religion]].<br />
<br />
People often do not understand what [[Rome]] was doing there in Judea and what authority Pilate had as the chief financial officer of Rome in Judea, nor how their courts worked. <br />
<br />
It was absolutely clear that Pilate gave the elected government of Judea the right to decide the fate of Jesus having washed his hands of the matter. He gave them a choice to let Jesus BarAbbas go or Jesus the Nazarene go. Both were charged with sedition and after all Rome had been invited in to keep the peace. <br />
<br />
It is clear the Pilate ruled that Jesus was not guilty of ''sedition'' but the rightful king of Judea. <br />
<br />
From then the apostles would become the lawful government of the people who would receive the Baptism of John and Jesus and everyone else would have no king but Jesus. Everyone is "feel free to contact" us and see detailed articles quoting historical references and decide for yourselves.<br />
<br />
He thinks the Judea was actually conquered but that would not happen for decades. He thought all serious crimes were decided by Roman courts.<br />
<br />
The Jews executed people all the time without Roman permission. They were going to stone the woman to death without Roman approval. This line of history you present is the common distortion of history which has allowed the modern apostasy of people calling themselves Christian to do the opposite of what Christ told us to do and return to the bondage of Egypt which the Bible told us never to return to. Pompey was invited to Judea during a civil war. <br />
<br />
In 66 BC, two royal brothers, Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, had begun to battle for the office of the king. Aristobulus appealed to the “world” of Rome, and Pompey's multi national military force. To cut this short three years later Pompey decided against Aristobulus, but Hyrcanus refused to appeal to Rome for protection in accordance with the Torah. The Pharisees, however, did request this foreign aid, contrary to the law. This gave the Roman occupation some appearance of legitimacy.<br />
<br />
[[Rome]] was in its own decline at the time. The people were neglecting the responsibilities that had kept them strong and free. <br />
<br />
A good attention to the [[weightier matters]] had kept Rome free but it was the acceptance of "[[legal charity]]" that would degenerate the people into [[perfect savages]] finding once more [[Polybius| a monarch and a king]].<br />
<br />
Greed for [[benefits]] and corruption had brought in political and economic subjugation of the people through a dependence on central government power created by men like [[Caesar]] and [[Herod]] but were willing to loose that liberty in exchange for free bread and circuses.<br />
<br />
Judea had followed the political and [[socialist]] pattern of Rome enticed by the [[covet]]ous favor and support of the people and gain power over the same. [[Herod]] had created his new deal of social welfare through such government support. Membership of the Jew required [[baptism]] and the people with a registered Hebrew name to guarantee their eligibility for benefits and to keep track of their required and compelled contributions.<br />
<br />
Their [[sacrifice]], once called [[Corban]], was no longer a “[[Freewill offerings|freewill offering]].” The society established by God through Moses no longer depended on [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] through the free will offerings of a people who had to love each other to make a [[daily ministration]] of love work. <br />
<br />
Even the [[temples]] of [[Roma]] built by [[Herod]] operated the same way but without the traditional baptism of the Jews. This new deal or form of government welfare or what the Romans called public religion imposed a tax through [[Sanhedrin]] legislation, and the exercising power of a king. [[Early Christians]] came together as [[Christ]] [[commanded]] so that they were not dependent on the [[welfare]] of the state and the trial records of Christians during the [[Christian conflict]] from independent sources quoted in our articles prove this clean back in 150 and 250 AD. Even a hundred years ago Christians went to church if they needed help or aid, not the government "who [[exercise authority]] one over the other" nor "the [[fathers]] of the earth". Today, many people go to churches to have pastors tickle their ears about being saved while they are actually [[Workers of Iniquity]] deceiving the people.<br />
<br />
<br />
People often continue to cling to these [[false religion]]s and distorted doctrinal views of their own [[wantonness]] and vanity through belief in a more convenient narrative of history and the [[Doctrines of Jesus]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are still a worker of [[iniquity]] you do not have a relationship with Jesus and God but only with a [[strong delusion]].<br />
<br />
== Doers of injustice ==<br />
<br />
Jesus said many people would be counted as Christians who did not think they were Christians and many would-be called '''Workers of iniquity''' that thought they were Christians because of what they did and did not DO. <br />
<br />
The phrase '''[[workers of iniquity]]''' shows up numerous times in the [[Bible]] and the concept that phrase exhibits an idea and theme common in the Bible.<br />
<br />
People are not just '''workers of iniquity''' because of what they do but also because of what they do not do. We are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves which is a proactive position. In order to actively love our neighbor we must gather with them for real purposes of being [[Benefactors|Benefactors]] of love.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Aven ===<br />
<br />
A common word in the Old Testament for iniquity is Aven<Ref name="Aven">{{0205}}</Ref> which often translated iniquity, wicked(ness), and even vanity and associated with [[idolatry]].<br />
<br />
A worker<Ref name="worker">{{06213}}</Ref> is just someone who does the deeds.<br />
<br />
{{workiniquity}}<br />
<br />
== Unrighteous Iniquity ==<br />
<br />
The word in the New Testament commonly translated '''iniquity''' is '''''adikia'''''<Ref name="adikia">{{93}}</Ref> meaning unjust and as a feminine noun is translated unrighteousness 16 times and includes any ''deed violating the [[weightier matters]] of Jesus or the [[righteousness]] of God.''<br />
<br />
The Greek word '''''adikos''''' is also "descriptive of one who violates or has violated justice" or is or has been "unrighteous".<Ref name="adikos">{{94}}</Ref><br />
<br />
There is also the word '''anomia'''<Ref name="anomia">{{458}}</Ref> translated [[iniquity]] or unrighteousness a dozen times<br />
<br />
The New Testament is constantly instructing us as to what qualifies as unrighteousness and does appear as righteousness. This is so we can check are selves and know what we need to [[repent]] of and what we are suppose to be [[seek]]ing.<br />
<br />

If you [[covet]] your neighbor's goods by asking men of government who [[exercise authority]] to take from your neighbor so you can have free stuff from the [[welfare State]] you are not loving your neighbor not keeping His commandments and not abiding in his love.

<p>Calebeaton: /* Garments */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:altarritual.jpg|link=Altars|250px|right|thumb|Unmooring the purpose of the [[altars]], [[priests]] and the [[Levites]] from their purpose and function in a free society is first the product of [[vanity]] which is the absence of the virtue of [[humility]]. A nation of priests and kings is where the people are not [[slothful]] in their responsibility to give and [[forgive]] in the [[care]] of their neighbor through a [[social safety net]] of [[charity]] and attention to the [[weightier matters]].<Br> <br />
: Why are the ministers of a nation considered [[naked]] and need the people to sew them "'''[[Breeches]]'''" and what are the [[cloths of service]] described in [[Exodus 28]] and [[Exodus 29]] based on the intent of [[Moses]] in the scriptures?]]<br />
<br />
== Garments ==<br />
<br />
From fig leafs to animal skins man has attempted to cover his [[naked]]ness. Like the [[breeches]] of the [[levites]] these words are often [[metaphor]]s with deeper meanings.<br />
<br />
[[Exodus 29]]:21 "And thou shalt take of the [[blood]] that is upon the [[altar]], and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his [[garments]], and upon his sons, and upon the [[garments]] of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his [[garments]], and his sons, and his sons' [[garments]] with him."<Ref name="beged">{{0899}}</Ref><br />
<br />
Why is the Hebrew word for ''[[garments|garment]]''<Ref name="beged">{{0899}}</Ref> also the word for ''treachery''?<Ref name="beged-v">{{0898}}</Ref><br />
<br />
There is another word for ''garment'' sometimes which is (שִׂמְלָה) simlah<Ref name="simlah">{{08071}}</Ref> which is related to something that gives a covering and can be more symbolic than just cloth.<Ref>Genesis 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment <08071>, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.<br />
: Genesis 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your garments <08071>:<br />
: Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment <08071>? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son’s name, if thou canst tell?</Ref></div>

=== Why Homeschool? ===<br />
<br />
'''Benefits'''<br />
* Flexibility<br />
: Whether it's time, vacation, curriculum, or whatever, homeschooling offers a family the ability to make choices that are best for them.<br />
<br />
* Build Community <br />
: Homeschooling can bring families together with other like-minded families to share ideas, resources, and counsel. Homeschool co-ops are a great resource for meeting other homeschool families. When you homeschool and make an effort to find other homeschoolers, you'll find a valuable new circle of friends who, bringing their unique skill sets, are ready to help you succeed. <br />
<br />
* Learn New Skills<br />
<br />
* Taking Responsibility<br />
: Taking Responsibility for training/educating your children is part of loving your neighbor. The responsibility is yours...take it by the horns! When you rely on the State for your children's education, you're actually coveting/stealing from your neighbor through the agency of a government that is willing to use violence. If you doubt this, try not paying property taxes and see what happens. <br />
<br />
* Learn What You Didn't Learn The First Time<br />
<br />
* Customize the Learning Experience for YOUR Child<br />
: Education doesn't have to be one size fits all<br />
<br />
* Limit Indoctrination by the State<br />
: When YOU train YOUR children, you're not competing with the world as much as you are for their hearts and minds. If your children are spending 6 - 8 hours a day soaking up other peoples worldview, at some point you're going to have a problem.<br />

<div>[[File:marriage.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"IT is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or<br />
expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract.<Ref>Iowa Compiled Code, 1919, § 6587. See STIMSON, AMERICAN STATUTE LAW, § 6101.</Ref>A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the parties has already entered into a similar contract with someone else. A minor may, under certain restrictions, enter into and be bound by it. It is, in many states, hedged about with formal requirements."<Ref> [https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1990&context=articles FOREIGN MARRIAGES AND THE CONFLICT OF LAWS] (Marriage as a Contract and a Status) By Herbert F. Goodrich, Professor of Law, University of Michigan.</Ref><Br>The acceptance and promotion of "same sex marriage" was inevitable once [[marriage]] became a ''three party State contract''. When a church so ''greedy for gain'' that it conceded the sacred [[social bonds]] of the [[family]] to the [[civil law]] the door was opened to decline of God's foundational institution. That decline was accelerated by the acceptance of a [[social safety net]] for society funded through a table of "[[Legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]]. ]] <br />
<br />
== Marriage ==<br />
<br />
In the past, [[marriage]] was a two-party agreement or contract between a man and a woman by permission of their natural Father and Mother. In fact, before the twentieth century there were few marriage licenses needed. A shift in the nature of the union of Husband and Wife had begun in the 1700's that would alter the nature of society itself.<br />
<br />
By 1843 [[Karl Marx Marriage|Karl Marx]] when he married Fräulein Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen did not get a license. He merely had a marriage contract. But that contract was sanctioned by Frederick William, King of Prussia through the official of the government Wilhelm Christian Heinrich Burger, royal Prussian notary. <br />
<br />
The shifting of authority from the natural ''Father and Mother'' of the [[family]] as a natural social unit to a strictly civil relationship under the [[conscripted fathers]] of the State changes the nature of the union.<br />
<br />
== Two parties ==<br />
<br />
Marriage by the state is a three-party contract giving the state not only judicial power over the contract but legislative and executive power as well. The judicial, legislative and executive powers has shifted to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Gods|gods]] many of the [[World|world]]. <br />
<br />
That is way too much power with little balance which corrupts the rulers and makes the people [[Slothful|slothful]] and entangles them in the [[Elements]] of the [[World]]. <br />
<br />
Marriage use to be a two-party contract establishing a union based on that contract and fundamental [[Natural Law]] as "Husband and Wife", a great "domestic relationship". <br />
<br />
On January 30, 2014 Alan Keyes wrote an article entitled [http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/140130 ''''Why government involvement in marriage is vital'''.'] As much as I may respect him, I believe he is wrong in his conclusion along with Rep. Mike Turner and other Lawmakers who are considering the prevention of ALL Marriage in Oklahoma (see the following article [http://www.news9.com/story/24543033/lawmakers-consider-preventing-all-marriage-in-oklahoma ''''Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma'''.']) I believe that they are missing some important elements of the problem. They do not understand what they want to create and how to go about it. <br />
<br />
With a two-party contract you can still use civil courts to settle disputes but it would be the jury, or if you choose together, the judge who decides "fact and law" as we once did in the republics of America and not the legislature nor the executive branches of government which is what you have now...<br />
<br />
== It begins ==<br />
<br />
It was Marie Antoinette's brother Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire from 1765 to 1790 who began to redefine marriage as a civil contract. Originally the union of man and woman was merely a contract between two parties and the record was kept by the family and archived by the Church which was not a party to the contract. Today the state is a party to a three party contract and they have the power to change the terms, terminate the contract and even divide the property. Most Americans do not understand the nature of that license and contract which is changing. <br />
<br />
With new rulings of the Supreme court and redefining the term ''marriage'' we will soon see ministers sued for refusing to perform gay marriages. The truth is ministers should have never agreed to perform ''state marriage contracts''.<br />
<br />
Churches and their ministers should be in the [[World|world]] but not of it. They should have remained the "[[Body of Christ]]" and not become a part of the body of the state.<br />

There are many ways in which a legal system increases its limited authority, but it is most complete through the consent of the individual. In China, they have “the one child contract”. If you sign it, you will become eligible for many of the benefits offered by the government, such as free medical care, schooling, and better paying jobs. If later the mother becomes pregnant and refuses to abort the child, the family becomes responsible for paying back all the benefits they received for the first child, and often suffer the loss of their present employed position and pay scale. In America, the pressure to abort a child is often much more subtle.<br />
<br />
: “The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children [fetus],<Ref>1Strong’s No. 1025 brephos {bref’-os}of uncertain affin.; n n AV - babe (5) - child (1) - infant (1) - young child (1) [8]1a) an unborn child, embryo, a fetus 1b) a new-born child, an infant, a babe </Ref> to the end they might not live.”<Ref>Strong’s No. 2225 zoogoneo {dzo-og-on-eh’-o}from the same as 2226 and a derivative of 1096; vb AV - preserve (1) - live (1) [2]1) to bring forth alive 2) to give life 3) to preserve alive</Ref> (Acts 7:19)<br />
<br />
If children survive the financial and social pressure to be aborted, they must still overcome the strain of the mental and spiritual pressures society shall place upon them. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, society as a whole is continuously degrading the [[family]] as a unit, even though the family is the foundation from which the society is built.<br />
<br />
== Reproduction ==<br />
<br />
[[Canon law]] says the purpose of Marriage is to protect the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the next generation and education of children.<br />
<br />
: “If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made in the family.”<Ref>Speakers Encyclopedia of Stories, by J.M Braude.</Ref><br />
<br />
Economic pressures may burden and exhaust the parents. Social Security often removes the grandparents from the family unit. School systems distance the parents from the mental development of the children as they are molded outside the family unit. The media and socially applied peer pressures add their own unique and varied distortions to the child’s development. <br />
: “When the foundation fails all fails.”<Ref>Maxims of Law from 1856 Bouvier’s Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
The few parents who feel a sense of responsibility to raise their children directly, often find their way blocked by a legal system that seems to be usurping the authority of the parents by assuming custody of children in the name of “The Law”. Yet, is it usurpation or have we unwittingly waived custody of our children by some previous legal contract or consensual agreement?<br />
<br />
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: <br />
<br />
* “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”<br />
<br />
* “8. Law, as distinguished from equity, denotes the doctrine and the procedure of the common law of England and America, from which equity is a departure. In respect to the ground of the authority of law, it is divided as natural law, or the law of nature or of God, and positive law.”<Ref>5Bouvier’s Law Dictionary vol II.</Ref><br />
<br />
: “The union of a man and a woman is of the law of nature.”<Ref>Conjuctio mariti et femina est de jure naturæ.</Ref><br />
<br />
But, Attorney Dale Bruder argued, “The Respondent ‘renounced his naturally acquired and naturally endowed personal sovereignty’, when he applied for and executed a marriage license under the laws of the State of California so as to obtain the status of ‘marriage’”. He went on to clarify his legal position, “Said license provided irrefutable proof that, the respondent ‘has voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly submitted, and subjected himself to the jurisdiction’ of the State of California”.<Ref>Fabricus vs. Fabricus, Superior Court of California, Case No. 09-231956, May 26, 2009.</Ref><br />
<br />
By these definitions and maxims, we see that the union of a man and woman is a relative, yet, private and natural relationship; and, as a natural relationship, is subject to “natural law”, natural law being “divine will… in contradistinction to positive law”, positive law being that law “established, under human sanctions”. The natural relation of Husband and Wife and its products, such as children, should be relatively free of any interference by others, and so it should be, for “Matrimony ought to be free”.<Ref>Matrimonia debent esse libra. Halkers, Max. 86; 2 Kent, Comm. 102.</Ref><br />
* “The laws of nature are unchangeable.”<Ref>Jura naturæ sunt immutabilia. Branch, Princ.; Oliver Forms, 56.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word, “marriage, as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married”, “is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for the discharge to each other and the community of duties legally incumbent on those whose association is found on the distinction of sex”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p. 1163.</Ref><br />
<br />
First, it is clear that marriage is distinguished, essentially different, from both the “agreement to marry” and the “act of becoming married”. Secondly, marriage is a civil status. “Civil” is a word used in “contradistinction to military, ecclesiastical, natural, or foreign; thus, we speak of a civil station, as opposed to …an ecclesiastical station”.<Ref>Civil. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary ed. p.331.</Ref><br />
<br />
It also explains that the obligations of the man and woman are not merely to each other, but also to the “community”, and that these civil duties are “legally incumbent”. An “incumbent” is then defined as, “A person who is in present possession of an office; one who is legally authorized to discharge the duties of an office”.<Ref>State v McCollister, 11 Ohio, 50; State v. Blackmore, 104 Mo. 340, 15 S.W. 960. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p.947.</Ref><br />
<br />
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1355.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word “individual” in the book “Language”, found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities’”. <br />
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person”<Ref>Omnis persona est homo, sed non vicissim.</Ref><br />
<br />
A person, by definition, is legally bound and connected to the community, while the individual seems to be equal to, or on a separate footing, from the community. The individual is apparently not obligated to the bureaucratic administration in the same degree as those in the legal community. The administrative system has coined the phrase “an individual person” or “natural person”. As usual, their attempt to alleviate confusion seems to have done more to add to the chaos.<br />
: “Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”<Ref>Homo vocabulum est; persona juris civilitis. Calvinus, Lex.</Ref><br />
<br />
Fundamentally, is marriage a status or relationship? Today, “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.<br />
<br />
* “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.”<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who are the parties and which law fixes the rights and obligations? Today’s Relationship of Marriage is often neither natural, remembering that the law of nature is “divine will”, nor is it ecclesiastical, which is “distinguished from ‘civil’ or ‘secular’”,<Ref>Ecclesiastical. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 640.</Ref> but it is civil.<br />
<br />
As spoken of earlier in Bouvier’s, the “private” relationships of “husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward” are not the same as the “legal” relationship granted by a Marriage license, which is clearly “public”, such as “the relation of the magistrate and people”. “The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born, live, and die.”<Ref>Leges naturæ perfectissimæ sunt et immutaviles; humani vero juris conditio semper in infinitum decurrit, et nihil est in co quod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivunt, moriuntur.7 Coke, 25.</Ref><br />
<br />
A “Marriage license” is “A license or permission granted by public authority to persons who intend to intermarry,… By statute it is made an essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the marriage”,<Ref>Black’s 5th Ed.</Ref> as opposed to ecclesiastical solemnization before civil witnesses. It should be becoming clear that there are at least two types of marriages and, therefore, at least two types of husband-and-wife relationships. <br />
* “Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state.”<Ref>Appellate Court of Illinois, NO. 5-97-0108: Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146.</Ref><br />
<br />
The state has a right to define relationships with the state and in a state marriage, “…When two people decide to get married, they are required to first procure a license from the State. If they have children of this marriage, they are required by the State to submit their children to certain things, such as school attendance and vaccinations. Furthermore, if at some time in the future the couple decides the marriage is not working, they must petition the State for a divorce. Marriage is a three-party contract between the man, the woman, and the State”.<Ref>Linneman v. Linneman, 1 Ill. App. 2d 48, 50, 116 N.E.2d 182, 183 (1953), citing Van Koten v. Van Koten, 323 Ill. 323, 326, 154 N.E. 146 (1926).</Ref><br />
<br />
In the first paragraph, we see again that at least one type of marriage is “civil” or “public”, as distinguished from another, which may be “private”, “ecclesiastical”, or “natural”. Ecclesiastical organizations have “no legal significance” and, therefore, no civil effect. <br />
<br />
This statement made by Clark sets a distinct division between religious freedom and the absence of it. On the one side, he mentions religious freedom in relation to ecclesiastical marriage, but it seems a simple step to realize the reciprocal conclusion. If the ecclesiastical authority to marry has no influence in the realm of legal marriages, then a legal marriage would then have no influence in the realm of ecclesiastical matrimony. This principle applies also to the marriage between the legal churches and the state and the state which established it. The legal church is not operating under the religious freedom aspect of Law in America.<br />
<br />
Religious freedom means freedom from dominion over religious practices, which should include the law established by religious belief, as well as rituals, ceremonies, and customs. Religious practices are not merely incantations, sprinkling of water, and smoky rituals. Religious practices includes almost every aspect of life itself.<br />
<br />
However, a marriage performed by an “ecclesiastical organization” should not be confused with a marriage performed by today’s churches, which are incorporated entities<Ref>Incorporation…the formation of a legal or political body… In civil law. The union of one domain to another. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdp. 946. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?…2Co 6:15</Ref> of the state, performing civil marriages as state agents. In most cases, churches will not marry any couple who has not obtained permission to marry, through the purchase of a license from the state, prior to the ceremony. Almost all marriages performed in these churches are performed by the authority vested in those churches and ministers by the state in which they have agreed to act as an agent. This makes the minister an officer of the state carrying out the official duties of that state. Those marriages are not ecclesiastical because they do have legal significance.<br />
<br />
The word “Church” in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word “ekklesia”, which comes from two words “ek”, meaning “out” and “kaleo”, meaning “to call”. Today’s incorporated churches are not marrying couples ecclesiastically, but are calling their people into an unequal civil relationship with the state.<br />
<br />
Clark states that this civil marriage contract is a “mutual assent”. As is the case with all contracts, there must be mutual consent and valid consideration. In a natural joining of a man and a woman as Husband and Wife, there is a mutual consent and consideration, but if one or both are persons and have a “legal status” and are obligated to another, then there cannot be a valid consideration without the permission of the one to whom the party is subject.<br />
<br />
In old English law, “Marriage is used in the sense of ‘maritagium’ (qv), or the feudal right enjoyed by the lord or guardian in chivalry of disposing of his ward in marriage”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
This is also, in principal, how the word is used today. To clarify this relationship of “lord and ward”, we may consider Clark’s statement, “the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by law instead of by the parties themselves”, to show that it is the third party, known as the state, that has the right to fix the extent of the privileges and duties by law, which is a larger position to hold in that three-party relationship. The word “law” here refers to the legal system which has already obtained, or at least assumed that it has obtained, a jurisdictional authority over the parties by their consent, either before their application for license (permission) or at the time of its public solemnization.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also defined as that which “signifies the act, ceremony or formal proceeding by which persons take each other for husband and wife”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
Note the use of the word “persons” and the lack of capitalization of the words “Husband and Wife”. In the same law dictionary, the word “for” is defined as “instead of” or “in place of”.<Ref>Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 795.</Ref> So, the legal status of marriage by civil authority is where you take each other, assenting into a civil relationship with the state, not as Husband and Wife, but “instead of” Husband and Wife, or in other words, “for” husband and wife, and children, who become wards of the state.<br />
<br />
* “Wife and son are names of nature.”<Ref>Uxor et filius sunt nomina naturæ. 4 Broom, Works. 350.</Ref><br />
<br />
In 1906, the Supreme Court of Nebraska stated that: “It (marriage) differs from all other contracts<Ref>Sample bill passed in order to comply with US Code 42, Section 666. “Bill 532 1997/6/10 Part I Documents Requiring Social Security Numbers for Use in Child Support Enforcement SEC. 4.- “Section 20-1-220. No marriage license may be issued unless a written application shall have been filed with the probate judge, or in Darlington and Georgetown Counties the clerk of court who issues the license, at least twenty-four hours before its issuance. The application must be signed by both of the contracting parties and shall contain the same information as required for the issuing of the license including the social security numbers of the contracting parties.” </Ref> in its far-reaching consequences to the body politic itself, and for that reason, in dealing with it or the status resulting therefrom, the state never stands indifferent, but is always a party whose interest must be taken into account”.<Ref>Willits v. Willits, 107 N.W.379,380.</Ref><br />
* “Each child belongs to the state.”<Ref>William H. Seawell, professor of education at the University of Virginia</Ref><br />
<br />
The state can and will always consider itself a party in a civil marriage performed by its officers in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed by the permitting authority, but it has no jurisdictional authority over the natural matrimony by “divine will” between two free and natural individuals. It is the previous connecting contractual commitments to the legal society that binds a person’s obedience to the commands of that legal society.<br />
<br />
:: Note that a “common law marriage” is simply when the state assumes and recognizes what did appear, at first, to be a “Husband and Wife” relationship At Law, which becomes, in fact, a solemnized civil marriage of “husband and wife” and “state” in equity. <br />
<br />
* “A wife is not her own mistress, but is under the power of her husband.”<Ref>Uxor non est sui Juris, sed sub potestate viri. Coke, 3d Inst. 108.</Ref><br />
<br />
According to the natural law and the common law, “All things which are the wife’s belong to the husband”,<Ref>Omnia quæ sunt uxoris sunt ipsius viri. Coke, Litt. 299.</Ref> not because of any misguided assumption that she is inferior, but because she is one with her husband. It is understood in the natural law that the “Husband and Wife are considered one person in law”.<Ref>Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Coke, Litt. 112; Jenk. Cent. Cas. 27.</Ref><br />
<br />
Even in the definition of Husband and Wife, it is called, “One of the great domestic relationships”. That relationship, “being that of a man and a woman lawfully joined in marriage, by which, at common law, the legal existence of the wife is incorporated with that of her husband”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd.Ed.p.910.</Ref><br />
<br />
In other words, it is a lawful joining of the woman’s status to the man. <br />
: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (Mr. 10:8.)<br />
<br />
This authority that a man holds at law over his wife is not a problem to a good woman, as long as the husband truly loves, honors, and cherishes her, and she is as willing to humble herself to his will as he is willing to truly humble himself to God’s divine will scene and the sacrificing [[love]] by Christ for His Church. As with all contracts, there must be mutual assent and valid consideration.<br />
<br />
: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) <br />
<br />

<br />
{{Domestic Relationships}}<br />
<br />
----<br />
== Custody ==<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the husband is to have custody of his children by God’s law, the individual state governments and bureaucracies are constantly claiming regulatory right and custody. Are these claims of the state usurpation without any basis in law, or is there an aspect to the relationship of a husband and wife that is shared by the state? Blackstone’s opinion saw the women more under the authority of her husband than the state:<br />
<br />
* “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert....”<Ref>Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England</Ref><br />
<br />
A ''feme'' covert may not have had legal rights and obligations distinct from those of her husband in most respects because her existence was incorporated into that of her Husband as a Wife. She did not lose her identity as much as, with her Husband, she became an intricate part of a divine corporation of God. <br />
“And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.” (Ge. 33:5)<br />
<br />
Before the Brits became subjects of kings, as it was in Israel, the Husband of a house was king and his Wife sat upon that throne as queen. The products of their union fell under their dominion and no other but God. But today the women and the wife and the children have become a member of a new larger family, the family of the State. This new family, with a new “father”, steadily incorporated her existence into the State. <br />
<br />
* “The statutory word ‘person’ did not in these circumstances include women.” British voting rights case, 1909.<br />
<br />
It was the custom that, if a man and a woman were married as Husband and Wife, then the Husband had custody of the children and held the Wife’s right to contract in a domestic trust.<Ref>In law he may also have custody of his domestic servants.</Ref><br />
<br />
The common law also agrees with the natural law, for “at the common law the father had an almost absolute right to the custody of his children”.<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law, Domestic Relations and Persons Chapt.IV, Sec. 26.</Ref><br />
<br />
A child could be manumitted from this bond in ancient times by Novation,<Ref>“the remodeling of an old obligation.” Webster’s Dictionary</Ref> Tutor, and Qurban.<br />
: “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:” ([[Ephesians 5]]: 28, 29)<br />
<br />
When a daughter wished to marry, she would obtain her father’s permission and he, in turn, gave her in marriage. The son would also gain permission from his father if he wished to continue to take his father’s name as his own. If the husband and wife are wards of the state, then their children must obtain permission to marry from their parent’s master, unless they become adopted by a father who is not subject to the jurisdiction of their parent’s master. In this there is a great mystery.<br />
<br />
Why do men of the United States Government think that “Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs, because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in”.<Ref>Peter Hoagland, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist said in 1983:</Ref><br />
<br />
Men like Daniel Webster believed that “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible”. Then, “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering, but if we neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how soon a catastrophe may overcome us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”. Even Roosevelt said, “I hope that you have reread the Constitution of the United States. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again”.<Ref>Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 9,1937. Document of American History by Commager.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who is the father from whom permission should be obtained? <br />
<br />
By and under whose authority should a man and woman be joined together in the ceremony of [[Holy Matrimony]]?<br />
<br />
“And what concord hath the Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleiveth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”<br />
<br />
: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean (thing); and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthian 6:15-18)<br />
<br />
It is, more often than not, the remedy and will of the public magistrates<Ref>The New Testament word ''God'' is translated from the Greek word ''theos'' which figuratively means “a magistrate” or literally judge or ruling judge.</Ref> that [[husband]]s and wives under their jurisdiction divorce. It is the magistrate that decides the fate of the children in his custody, in contradistinction to the [[Natural Law|law of nature]] and the [[Common Law|common law]].<br />
<br />
: “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Mark 10]]:5,9)<br />
<br />
The implications of all this can seem to create confusion. We should see that neither a bride nor groom can obtain clear permission<Ref>That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also. Quod ipsis, qui contraxerunt, abstat; et successoribus eorum obstabit. Dig. 50.17.29.</Ref>to marry from a father who has assented to the same restrictive legal civil status that they are trying to avoid. And the state, by its very nature, cannot offer permission to the God-fearing couple to marry as a ''Natural Husband and Wife''. These problems can seem to compound as we discover that no minister or priest is available to conduct a purely ecclesiastical ceremony, which would exclude the state and its authoritarian and bureaucratic legal controls.<br />
<br />
: “Be ye not unequally [[yoked]] together with unbelievers: for what [[fellowship]] hath [[righteousness]] with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” ([[2 Corinthians 6]]:14)<br />
<br />
Why should we give authority to the state over that which God has ordained? If we have faith in the Lord’s blessing and authority, why do we also ask for the government’s blessing and authority?<br />
<br />
: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” ([[Romans 13]]:1)<br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most frequently misused quotes from the King James Bible. The word “power” in the Greek is also translated “liberty” and “right”.<Ref> Strong’s No. 1849 exousia, exousia from 1832 (in the sense of ability); also translated right ([[Hebrews 13]]:10, [[Revelation 22]]:14) and liberty ([[1 Corinthians 8]]:9) and defined 1) power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.</Ref><br />
<br />
In fact, the word ''exousia''<Ref>“The Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms” defines ''exousia'' as “right” specifically of the citizen from which all power to govern comes. See Aristotle’s Political Theory, First published Jul 1, 1998; substantive revision Jul 19, 2002. Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</Ref> is the strongest word in the Greek language for liberty, surpassing the Greek eleutheria in its declaration of individual liberty.<Ref>Bryn Mawr’s Classical Review states, “Enomaos maintained that we are absolutely masters of the most necessary things (52-53). Brancacci notices that the term used by Enomaos to refer to human freedom is not the typical Cynic one (eleutheria), but ''exousia'', which expresses ‘the new concept of freedom in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria’.”</Ref> If there is no power or liberty but of God and it is He that ordains the powers or rights of men, then when men grant their right of choice to other men they are rejecting God. Even Aristotle exemplifies the meaning of the word ''exousia'' as, “The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes...”.<Ref>Lawmakers and Ordinary People in Aristotle, by Paul Bullen (1996, VI. 4.1318b38-1319a4)</Ref><br />
<br />
If other men have our right to choose then we are not freemen under God, but under the authority of other men. Did God give us our rights so that we may give them away to others? What criteria does God use to establish the “higher powers”?<br />
<br />
Are we subject to a higher power or are we making the state a higher power by applying for and obtaining a marriage license? If matrimony, through the Law of Nature and the Common Law of the Land, is the domain of God and our children are His gifts, then why would we turn our family and ourselves over to the civil authority of the State? Is that not like rendering unto Caesar the things that are God’s?<br />
<br />
The Bible mentions the word “covenant” over 300 times. It tells us many stories of the binding of man to man and man to God. It is made clear that God requires the keeping of our agreements and compliance with our words. <br />
<br />
Jesus has told us to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matt 5:37). Does he want us to enter into covenants, even quasi-covenants, with those who do not follow the spirit of God and His Laws?<br />
<br />
Why should we ask another for permission to do that which God has ordained? <br />
<br />
: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ([[Romans 8]]:14.)<br />
[[File:wedgodsmany.jpg|300px|Thumb|right|Kneeling before [[Gods|gods many]] ]]<br />
Does God want us to give custody of our children to the State? Does He want you to put your Husband and Wife relationship under the authority of a system that prefers and compels divorce as the most common solution to marital strife? <br />
<br />
: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” ([[Romans 13]]:8)<br />
<br />
If God has given us the Holy Relationship of [[Matrimony]], He therefore has dominion and authority over that relationship. Why should we render unto the state a legal authority over that relationship which rightfully belongs to God? The state only requires you to get a license to become bound and protected by the State.<br />
<br />
: “Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto [[Caesar]] the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21; Mr 12:17 ; Lu 20:25)<br />
<br />
If you are married in Florida, England, or Kuwait, you are considered married in Oregon and everywhere else in the world, so why is not the Kingdom of God acceptable? In fact, it is. An ecclesiastical marriage is a lawful marriage that offers no equitable or legal benefits, obligations, nor jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It would seem that in this life we may choose in many ways who we would have over us. Is the choice not ours? And what choice should we make? Who should be the ruling judge of our marriage?<br />
<br />
: “Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.” ([[John 18]]:37)<br />
<br />
If we have been joined together in the name of God and by His authority, then why must we call on any other name or authority? <br />
<br />
* “Those who educate are more to be honored than those who bear the children. The latter give them only life; the former teach them the art of living.”<Ref>Carolyn Warner, former Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona</Ref><br />
<br />
Should you call upon another just to gain the financial and worldly benefits of a legal marriage?<br />
<br />
: “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ([[Acts 2]]:21)<br />
<br />
Should we turn over the custody of the children that the LORD God has given us to a civil authority that does not follow Christ? <br />
<br />
: “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Matthew 19]]:6). <br />
<br />
Are there other ways that we are going under authorities of men by making covenants?<br />
<br />
: “And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.” ([[2 Kings 17]]:15) <br />
<br />
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt and the covenants of Rome and the spirit of Babylon? And if we have entered into covenants with strange gods, can we return to the LORD God?<br />
<br />
: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 26:45)<br />

<div>[[File:marriage.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"IT is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or<br />
expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract.<Ref>Iowa Compiled Code, 1919, § 6587. See STIMSON, AMERICAN STATUTE LAW, § 6101.</Ref>A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the parties has already entered into a similar contract with someone else. A minor may, under certain restrictions, enter into and be bound by it. It is, in many states, hedged about with formal requirements."<Ref> [https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1990&context=articles FOREIGN MARRIAGES AND THE CONFLICT OF LAWS] (Marriage as a Contract and a Status) By Herbert F. Goodrich, Professor of Law, University of Michigan.</Ref><Br>The acceptance and promotion of "same sex marriage" was inevitable once [[marriage]] became a ''three party State contract''. When a church so ''greedy for gain'' that it conceded the sacred [[social bonds]] of the [[family]] to the [[civil law]] the door was opened to decline of God's foundational institution. That decline was accelerated by the acceptance of a [[social safety net]] for society funded through a table of "[[Legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]]. ]] <br />
<br />
== Marriage ==<br />
<br />
In the past, [[marriage]] was a two-party agreement or contract between a man and a woman by permission of their natural Father and Mother. In fact, before the twentieth century there were few marriage licenses needed. A shift in the nature of the union of Husband and Wife had begun in the 1700's that would alter the nature of society itself.<br />
<br />
By 1843 [[Karl Marx Marriage|Karl Marx]] when he married Fräulein Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen did not get a license. He merely had a marriage contract. But that contract was sanctioned by Frederick William, King of Prussia through the official of the government Wilhelm Christian Heinrich Burger, royal Prussian notary. <br />
<br />
The shifting of authority from the natural ''Father and Mother'' of the [[family]] as a natural social unit to a strictly civil relationship under the [[conscripted fathers]] of the State changes the nature of the union.<br />
<br />
== Two parties ==<br />
<br />
Marriage by the state is a three-party contract giving the state not only judicial power over the contract but legislative and executive power as well. The judicial, legislative and executive powers has shifted to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Gods|gods]] many of the [[World|world]]. <br />
<br />
That is way too much power with little balance which corrupts the rulers and makes the people [[Slothful|slothful]] and entangles them in the [[Elements]] of the [[World]]. <br />
<br />
Marriage use to be a two-party contract establishing a union based on that contract and fundamental [[Natural Law]] as "Husband and Wife", a great "domestic relationship". <br />
<br />
On January 30, 2014 Alan Keyes wrote an article entitled [http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/140130 ''''Why government involvement in marriage is vital'''.'] As much as I may respect him, I believe he is wrong in his conclusion along with Rep. Mike Turner and other Lawmakers who are considering the prevention of ALL Marriage in Oklahoma (see the following article [http://www.news9.com/story/24543033/lawmakers-consider-preventing-all-marriage-in-oklahoma ''''Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma'''.']) I believe that they are missing some important elements of the problem. They do not understand what they want to create and how to go about it. <br />
<br />
With a two-party contract you can still use civil courts to settle disputes but it would be the jury, or if you choose together, the judge who decides "fact and law" as we once did in the republics of America and not the legislature nor the executive branches of government which is what you have now...<br />
<br />
== It begins ==<br />
<br />
It was Marie Antoinette's brother Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire from 1765 to 1790 who began to redefine marriage as a civil contract. Originally the union of man and woman was merely a contract between two parties and the record was kept by the family and archived by the Church which was not a party to the contract. Today the state is a party to a three party contract and they have the power to change the terms, terminate the contract and even divide the property. Most Americans do not understand the nature of that license and contract which is changing. <br />
<br />
With new rulings of the Supreme court and redefining the term ''marriage'' we will soon see ministers sued for refusing to perform gay marriages. The truth is ministers should have never agreed to perform ''state marriage contracts''.<br />
<br />
Churches and their ministers should be in the [[World|world]] but not of it. They should have remained the "[[Body of Christ]]" and not become a part of the body of the state.<br />
<br />

There are many ways in which a legal system increases its limited authority, but it is most complete through the consent of the individual. In China, they have “the one child contract”. If you sign it, you will become eligible for many of the benefits offered by the government, such as free medical care, schooling, and better paying jobs. If later the mother becomes pregnant and refuses to abort the child, the family becomes responsible for paying back all the benefits they received for the first child, and often suffer the loss of their present employed position and pay scale. In America, the pressure to abort a child is often much more subtle.<br />
<br />
: “The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children [fetus],<Ref>1Strong’s No. 1025 brephos {bref’-os}of uncertain affin.; n n AV - babe (5) - child (1) - infant (1) - young child (1) [8]1a) an unborn child, embryo, a fetus 1b) a new-born child, an infant, a babe </Ref> to the end they might not live.”<Ref>Strong’s No. 2225 zoogoneo {dzo-og-on-eh’-o}from the same as 2226 and a derivative of 1096; vb AV - preserve (1) - live (1) [2]1) to bring forth alive 2) to give life 3) to preserve alive</Ref> (Acts 7:19)<br />
<br />
If children survive the financial and social pressure to be aborted, they must still overcome the strain of the mental and spiritual pressures society shall place upon them. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, society as a whole is continuously degrading the [[family]] as a unit, even though the family is the foundation from which the society is built.<br />
<br />
== Reproduction ==<br />
<br />
[[Canon law]] says the purpose of Marriage is to protect the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the next generation and education of children.<br />
<br />
: “If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made in the family.”<Ref>Speakers Encyclopedia of Stories, by J.M Braude.</Ref><br />
<br />
Economic pressures may burden and exhaust the parents. Social Security often removes the grandparents from the family unit. School systems distance the parents from the mental development of the children as they are molded outside the family unit. The media and socially applied peer pressures add their own unique and varied distortions to the child’s development. <br />
: “When the foundation fails all fails.”<Ref>Maxims of Law from 1856 Bouvier’s Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
The few parents who feel a sense of responsibility to raise their children directly, often find their way blocked by a legal system that seems to be usurping the authority of the parents by assuming custody of children in the name of “The Law”. Yet, is it usurpation or have we unwittingly waived custody of our children by some previous legal contract or consensual agreement?<br />
<br />
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: <br />
<br />
* “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”<br />
<br />
* “8. Law, as distinguished from equity, denotes the doctrine and the procedure of the common law of England and America, from which equity is a departure. In respect to the ground of the authority of law, it is divided as natural law, or the law of nature or of God, and positive law.”<Ref>5Bouvier’s Law Dictionary vol II.</Ref><br />
<br />

<br />
But, Attorney Dale Bruder argued, “The Respondent ‘renounced his naturally acquired and naturally endowed personal sovereignty’, when he applied for and executed a marriage license under the laws of the State of California so as to obtain the status of ‘marriage’”. He went on to clarify his legal position, “Said license provided irrefutable proof that, the respondent ‘has voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly submitted, and subjected himself to the jurisdiction’ of the State of California”.<Ref>Fabricus vs. Fabricus, Superior Court of California, Case No. 09-231956, May 26, 2009.</Ref><br />
<br />
By these definitions and maxims, we see that the union of a man and woman is a relative, yet, private and natural relationship; and, as a natural relationship, is subject to “natural law”, natural law being “divine will… in contradistinction to positive law”, positive law being that law “established, under human sanctions”. The natural relation of Husband and Wife and its products, such as children, should be relatively free of any interference by others, and so it should be, for “Matrimony ought to be free”.<Ref>Matrimonia debent esse libra. Halkers, Max. 86; 2 Kent, Comm. 102.</Ref><br />
* “The laws of nature are unchangeable.”<Ref>Jura naturæ sunt immutabilia. Branch, Princ.; Oliver Forms, 56.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word, “marriage, as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married”, “is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for the discharge to each other and the community of duties legally incumbent on those whose association is found on the distinction of sex”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p. 1163.</Ref><br />
<br />
First, it is clear that marriage is distinguished, essentially different, from both the “agreement to marry” and the “act of becoming married”. Secondly, marriage is a civil status. “Civil” is a word used in “contradistinction to military, ecclesiastical, natural, or foreign; thus, we speak of a civil station, as opposed to …an ecclesiastical station”.<Ref>Civil. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary ed. p.331.</Ref><br />
<br />
It also explains that the obligations of the man and woman are not merely to each other, but also to the “community”, and that these civil duties are “legally incumbent”. An “incumbent” is then defined as, “A person who is in present possession of an office; one who is legally authorized to discharge the duties of an office”.<Ref>State v McCollister, 11 Ohio, 50; State v. Blackmore, 104 Mo. 340, 15 S.W. 960. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p.947.</Ref><br />
<br />
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1355.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word “individual” in the book “Language”, found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities’”. <br />
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person”<Ref>Omnis persona est homo, sed non vicissim.</Ref><br />
<br />
A person, by definition, is legally bound and connected to the community, while the individual seems to be equal to, or on a separate footing, from the community. The individual is apparently not obligated to the bureaucratic administration in the same degree as those in the legal community. The administrative system has coined the phrase “an individual person” or “natural person”. As usual, their attempt to alleviate confusion seems to have done more to add to the chaos.<br />
: “Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”<Ref>Homo vocabulum est; persona juris civilitis. Calvinus, Lex.</Ref><br />
<br />
Fundamentally, is marriage a status or relationship? Today, “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.<br />
<br />
* “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.”<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who are the parties and which law fixes the rights and obligations? Today’s Relationship of Marriage is often neither natural, remembering that the law of nature is “divine will”, nor is it ecclesiastical, which is “distinguished from ‘civil’ or ‘secular’”,<Ref>Ecclesiastical. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 640.</Ref> but it is civil.<br />
<br />
As spoken of earlier in Bouvier’s, the “private” relationships of “husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward” are not the same as the “legal” relationship granted by a Marriage license, which is clearly “public”, such as “the relation of the magistrate and people”. “The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born, live, and die.”<Ref>Leges naturæ perfectissimæ sunt et immutaviles; humani vero juris conditio semper in infinitum decurrit, et nihil est in co quod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivunt, moriuntur.7 Coke, 25.</Ref><br />
<br />
A “Marriage license” is “A license or permission granted by public authority to persons who intend to intermarry,… By statute it is made an essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the marriage”,<Ref>Black’s 5th Ed.</Ref> as opposed to ecclesiastical solemnization before civil witnesses. It should be becoming clear that there are at least two types of marriages and, therefore, at least two types of husband-and-wife relationships. <br />
* “Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state.”<Ref>Appellate Court of Illinois, NO. 5-97-0108: Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146.</Ref><br />
<br />
The state has a right to define relationships with the state and in a state marriage, “…When two people decide to get married, they are required to first procure a license from the State. If they have children of this marriage, they are required by the State to submit their children to certain things, such as school attendance and vaccinations. Furthermore, if at some time in the future the couple decides the marriage is not working, they must petition the State for a divorce. Marriage is a three-party contract between the man, the woman, and the State”.<Ref>Linneman v. Linneman, 1 Ill. App. 2d 48, 50, 116 N.E.2d 182, 183 (1953), citing Van Koten v. Van Koten, 323 Ill. 323, 326, 154 N.E. 146 (1926).</Ref><br />
<br />
In the first paragraph, we see again that at least one type of marriage is “civil” or “public”, as distinguished from another, which may be “private”, “ecclesiastical”, or “natural”. Ecclesiastical organizations have “no legal significance” and, therefore, no civil effect. <br />
<br />
This statement made by Clark sets a distinct division between religious freedom and the absence of it. On the one side, he mentions religious freedom in relation to ecclesiastical marriage, but it seems a simple step to realize the reciprocal conclusion. If the ecclesiastical authority to marry has no influence in the realm of legal marriages, then a legal marriage would then have no influence in the realm of ecclesiastical matrimony. This principle applies also to the marriage between the legal churches and the state and the state which established it. The legal church is not operating under the religious freedom aspect of Law in America.<br />
<br />
Religious freedom means freedom from dominion over religious practices, which should include the law established by religious belief, as well as rituals, ceremonies, and customs. Religious practices are not merely incantations, sprinkling of water, and smoky rituals. Religious practices includes almost every aspect of life itself.<br />
<br />
However, a marriage performed by an “ecclesiastical organization” should not be confused with a marriage performed by today’s churches, which are incorporated entities<Ref>Incorporation…the formation of a legal or political body… In civil law. The union of one domain to another. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdp. 946. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?…2Co 6:15</Ref> of the state, performing civil marriages as state agents. In most cases, churches will not marry any couple who has not obtained permission to marry, through the purchase of a license from the state, prior to the ceremony. Almost all marriages performed in these churches are performed by the authority vested in those churches and ministers by the state in which they have agreed to act as an agent. This makes the minister an officer of the state carrying out the official duties of that state. Those marriages are not ecclesiastical because they do have legal significance.<br />
<br />
The word “Church” in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word “ekklesia”, which comes from two words “ek”, meaning “out” and “kaleo”, meaning “to call”. Today’s incorporated churches are not marrying couples ecclesiastically, but are calling their people into an unequal civil relationship with the state.<br />
<br />
Clark states that this civil marriage contract is a “mutual assent”. As is the case with all contracts, there must be mutual consent and valid consideration. In a natural joining of a man and a woman as Husband and Wife, there is a mutual consent and consideration, but if one or both are persons and have a “legal status” and are obligated to another, then there cannot be a valid consideration without the permission of the one to whom the party is subject.<br />
<br />
In old English law, “Marriage is used in the sense of ‘maritagium’ (qv), or the feudal right enjoyed by the lord or guardian in chivalry of disposing of his ward in marriage”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
This is also, in principal, how the word is used today. To clarify this relationship of “lord and ward”, we may consider Clark’s statement, “the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by law instead of by the parties themselves”, to show that it is the third party, known as the state, that has the right to fix the extent of the privileges and duties by law, which is a larger position to hold in that three-party relationship. The word “law” here refers to the legal system which has already obtained, or at least assumed that it has obtained, a jurisdictional authority over the parties by their consent, either before their application for license (permission) or at the time of its public solemnization.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also defined as that which “signifies the act, ceremony or formal proceeding by which persons take each other for husband and wife”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
Note the use of the word “persons” and the lack of capitalization of the words “Husband and Wife”. In the same law dictionary, the word “for” is defined as “instead of” or “in place of”.<Ref>Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 795.</Ref> So, the legal status of marriage by civil authority is where you take each other, assenting into a civil relationship with the state, not as Husband and Wife, but “instead of” Husband and Wife, or in other words, “for” husband and wife, and children, who become wards of the state.<br />
<br />
* “Wife and son are names of nature.”<Ref>Uxor et filius sunt nomina naturæ. 4 Broom, Works. 350.</Ref><br />
<br />
In 1906, the Supreme Court of Nebraska stated that: “It (marriage) differs from all other contracts<Ref>Sample bill passed in order to comply with US Code 42, Section 666. “Bill 532 1997/6/10 Part I Documents Requiring Social Security Numbers for Use in Child Support Enforcement SEC. 4.- “Section 20-1-220. No marriage license may be issued unless a written application shall have been filed with the probate judge, or in Darlington and Georgetown Counties the clerk of court who issues the license, at least twenty-four hours before its issuance. The application must be signed by both of the contracting parties and shall contain the same information as required for the issuing of the license including the social security numbers of the contracting parties.” </Ref> in its far-reaching consequences to the body politic itself, and for that reason, in dealing with it or the status resulting therefrom, the state never stands indifferent, but is always a party whose interest must be taken into account”.<Ref>Willits v. Willits, 107 N.W.379,380.</Ref><br />
* “Each child belongs to the state.”<Ref>William H. Seawell, professor of education at the University of Virginia</Ref><br />
<br />
The state can and will always consider itself a party in a civil marriage performed by its officers in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed by the permitting authority, but it has no jurisdictional authority over the natural matrimony by “divine will” between two free and natural individuals. It is the previous connecting contractual commitments to the legal society that binds a person’s obedience to the commands of that legal society.<br />
<br />
:: Note that a “common law marriage” is simply when the state assumes and recognizes what did appear, at first, to be a “Husband and Wife” relationship At Law, which becomes, in fact, a solemnized civil marriage of “husband and wife” and “state” in equity. <br />
<br />
* “A wife is not her own mistress, but is under the power of her husband.”<Ref>Uxor non est sui Juris, sed sub potestate viri. Coke, 3d Inst. 108.</Ref><br />
<br />
According to the natural law and the common law, “All things which are the wife’s belong to the husband”,<Ref>Omnia quæ sunt uxoris sunt ipsius viri. Coke, Litt. 299.</Ref> not because of any misguided assumption that she is inferior, but because she is one with her husband. It is understood in the natural law that the “Husband and Wife are considered one person in law”.<Ref>Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Coke, Litt. 112; Jenk. Cent. Cas. 27.</Ref><br />
<br />
Even in the definition of Husband and Wife, it is called, “One of the great domestic relationships”. That relationship, “being that of a man and a woman lawfully joined in marriage, by which, at common law, the legal existence of the wife is incorporated with that of her husband”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd.Ed.p.910.</Ref><br />
<br />
In other words, it is a lawful joining of the woman’s status to the man. <br />
: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (Mr. 10:8.)<br />
<br />
This authority that a man holds at law over his wife is not a problem to a good woman, as long as the husband truly loves, honors, and cherishes her, and she is as willing to humble herself to his will as he is willing to truly humble himself to God’s divine will scene and the sacrificing [[love]] by Christ for His Church. As with all contracts, there must be mutual assent and valid consideration.<br />
<br />
: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) <br />

== Custody ==<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the husband is to have custody of his children by God’s law, the individual state governments and bureaucracies are constantly claiming regulatory right and custody. Are these claims of the state usurpation without any basis in law, or is there an aspect to the relationship of a husband and wife that is shared by the state? Blackstone’s opinion saw the women more under the authority of her husband than the state:<br />
<br />
* “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert....”<Ref>Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England</Ref><br />
<br />
A ''feme'' covert may not have had legal rights and obligations distinct from those of her husband in most respects because her existence was incorporated into that of her Husband as a Wife. She did not lose her identity as much as, with her Husband, she became an intricate part of a divine corporation of God. <br />
“And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.” (Ge. 33:5)<br />
<br />
Before the Brits became subjects of kings, as it was in Israel, the Husband of a house was king and his Wife sat upon that throne as queen. The products of their union fell under their dominion and no other but God. But today the women and the wife and the children have become a member of a new larger family, the family of the State. This new family, with a new “father”, steadily incorporated her existence into the State. <br />
<br />
* “The statutory word ‘person’ did not in these circumstances include women.” British voting rights case, 1909.<br />
<br />
It was the custom that, if a man and a woman were married as Husband and Wife, then the Husband had custody of the children and held the Wife’s right to contract in a domestic trust.<Ref>In law he may also have custody of his domestic servants.</Ref><br />
<br />
The common law also agrees with the natural law, for “at the common law the father had an almost absolute right to the custody of his children”.<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law, Domestic Relations and Persons Chapt.IV, Sec. 26.</Ref><br />
<br />
A child could be manumitted from this bond in ancient times by Novation,<Ref>“the remodeling of an old obligation.” Webster’s Dictionary</Ref> Tutor, and Qurban.<br />
: “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:” ([[Ephesians 5]]: 28, 29)<br />
<br />
When a daughter wished to marry, she would obtain her father’s permission and he, in turn, gave her in marriage. The son would also gain permission from his father if he wished to continue to take his father’s name as his own. If the husband and wife are wards of the state, then their children must obtain permission to marry from their parent’s master, unless they become adopted by a father who is not subject to the jurisdiction of their parent’s master. In this there is a great mystery.<br />
<br />
Why do men of the United States Government think that “Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs, because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in”.<Ref>Peter Hoagland, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist said in 1983:</Ref><br />
<br />
Men like Daniel Webster believed that “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible”. Then, “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering, but if we neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how soon a catastrophe may overcome us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”. Even Roosevelt said, “I hope that you have reread the Constitution of the United States. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again”.<Ref>Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 9,1937. Document of American History by Commager.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who is the father from whom permission should be obtained? <br />
<br />
By and under whose authority should a man and woman be joined together in the ceremony of [[Holy Matrimony]]?<br />
<br />
“And what concord hath the Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleiveth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”<br />
<br />
: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean (thing); and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthian 6:15-18)<br />
<br />
It is, more often than not, the remedy and will of the public magistrates<Ref>The New Testament word ''God'' is translated from the Greek word ''theos'' which figuratively means “a magistrate” or literally judge or ruling judge.</Ref> that [[husband]]s and wives under their jurisdiction divorce. It is the magistrate that decides the fate of the children in his custody, in contradistinction to the [[Natural Law|law of nature]] and the [[Common Law|common law]].<br />
<br />
: “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Mark 10]]:5,9)<br />
<br />
The implications of all this can seem to create confusion. We should see that neither a bride nor groom can obtain clear permission<Ref>That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also. Quod ipsis, qui contraxerunt, abstat; et successoribus eorum obstabit. Dig. 50.17.29.</Ref>to marry from a father who has assented to the same restrictive legal civil status that they are trying to avoid. And the state, by its very nature, cannot offer permission to the God-fearing couple to marry as a ''Natural Husband and Wife''. These problems can seem to compound as we discover that no minister or priest is available to conduct a purely ecclesiastical ceremony, which would exclude the state and its authoritarian and bureaucratic legal controls.<br />
<br />
: “Be ye not unequally [[yoked]] together with unbelievers: for what [[fellowship]] hath [[righteousness]] with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” ([[2 Corinthians 6]]:14)<br />
<br />
Why should we give authority to the state over that which God has ordained? If we have faith in the Lord’s blessing and authority, why do we also ask for the government’s blessing and authority?<br />
<br />
: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” ([[Romans 13]]:1)<br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most frequently misused quotes from the King James Bible. The word “power” in the Greek is also translated “liberty” and “right”.<Ref> Strong’s No. 1849 exousia, exousia from 1832 (in the sense of ability); also translated right ([[Hebrews 13]]:10, [[Revelation 22]]:14) and liberty ([[1 Corinthians 8]]:9) and defined 1) power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.</Ref><br />
<br />
In fact, the word ''exousia''<Ref>“The Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms” defines ''exousia'' as “right” specifically of the citizen from which all power to govern comes. See Aristotle’s Political Theory, First published Jul 1, 1998; substantive revision Jul 19, 2002. Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</Ref> is the strongest word in the Greek language for liberty, surpassing the Greek eleutheria in its declaration of individual liberty.<Ref>Bryn Mawr’s Classical Review states, “Enomaos maintained that we are absolutely masters of the most necessary things (52-53). Brancacci notices that the term used by Enomaos to refer to human freedom is not the typical Cynic one (eleutheria), but ''exousia'', which expresses ‘the new concept of freedom in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria’.”</Ref> If there is no power or liberty but of God and it is He that ordains the powers or rights of men, then when men grant their right of choice to other men they are rejecting God. Even Aristotle exemplifies the meaning of the word ''exousia'' as, “The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes...”.<Ref>Lawmakers and Ordinary People in Aristotle, by Paul Bullen (1996, VI. 4.1318b38-1319a4)</Ref><br />
<br />
If other men have our right to choose then we are not freemen under God, but under the authority of other men. Did God give us our rights so that we may give them away to others? What criteria does God use to establish the “higher powers”?<br />
<br />
Are we subject to a higher power or are we making the state a higher power by applying for and obtaining a marriage license? If matrimony, through the Law of Nature and the Common Law of the Land, is the domain of God and our children are His gifts, then why would we turn our family and ourselves over to the civil authority of the State? Is that not like rendering unto Caesar the things that are God’s?<br />
<br />
The Bible mentions the word “covenant” over 300 times. It tells us many stories of the binding of man to man and man to God. It is made clear that God requires the keeping of our agreements and compliance with our words. <br />
<br />
Jesus has told us to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matt 5:37). Does he want us to enter into covenants, even quasi-covenants, with those who do not follow the spirit of God and His Laws?<br />
<br />
Why should we ask another for permission to do that which God has ordained? <br />
<br />
: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ([[Romans 8]]:14.)<br />
[[File:wedgodsmany.jpg|300px|Thumb|right|Kneeling before [[Gods|gods many]] ]]<br />
Does God want us to give custody of our children to the State? Does He want you to put your Husband and Wife relationship under the authority of a system that prefers and compels divorce as the most common solution to marital strife? <br />
<br />
: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” ([[Romans 13]]:8)<br />
<br />
If God has given us the Holy Relationship of [[Matrimony]], He therefore has dominion and authority over that relationship. Why should we render unto the state a legal authority over that relationship which rightfully belongs to God? The state only requires you to get a license to become bound and protected by the State.<br />
<br />
: “Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto [[Caesar]] the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21; Mr 12:17 ; Lu 20:25)<br />
<br />
If you are married in Florida, England, or Kuwait, you are considered married in Oregon and everywhere else in the world, so why is not the Kingdom of God acceptable? In fact, it is. An ecclesiastical marriage is a lawful marriage that offers no equitable or legal benefits, obligations, nor jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It would seem that in this life we may choose in many ways who we would have over us. Is the choice not ours? And what choice should we make? Who should be the ruling judge of our marriage?<br />
<br />
: “Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.” ([[John 18]]:37)<br />
<br />
If we have been joined together in the name of God and by His authority, then why must we call on any other name or authority? <br />
<br />
* “Those who educate are more to be honored than those who bear the children. The latter give them only life; the former teach them the art of living.”<Ref>Carolyn Warner, former Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona</Ref><br />
<br />
Should you call upon another just to gain the financial and worldly benefits of a legal marriage?<br />
<br />
: “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ([[Acts 2]]:21)<br />
<br />
Should we turn over the custody of the children that the LORD God has given us to a civil authority that does not follow Christ? <br />
<br />
: “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Matthew 19]]:6). <br />
<br />
Are there other ways that we are going under authorities of men by making covenants?<br />
<br />
: “And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.” ([[2 Kings 17]]:15) <br />
<br />
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt and the covenants of Rome and the spirit of Babylon? And if we have entered into covenants with strange gods, can we return to the LORD God?<br />
<br />
: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 26:45)<br />

<div>[[File:marriage.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"IT is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or<br />
expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract.<Ref>Iowa Compiled Code, 1919, § 6587. See STIMSON, AMERICAN STATUTE LAW, § 6101.</Ref>A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the parties has already entered into a similar contract with someone else. A minor may, under certain restrictions, enter into and be bound by it. It is, in many states, hedged about with formal requirements."<Ref> [https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1990&context=articles FOREIGN MARRIAGES AND THE CONFLICT OF LAWS] (Marriage as a Contract and a Status) By Herbert F. Goodrich, Professor of Law, University of Michigan.</Ref><Br>The acceptance and promotion of "same sex marriage" was inevitable once [[marriage]] became a ''three party State contract''. When a church so ''greedy for gain'' that it conceded the sacred [[social bonds]] of the [[family]] to the [[civil law]] the door was opened to decline of God's foundational institution. That decline was accelerated by the acceptance of a [[social safety net]] for society funded through a table of "[[Legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]]. ]] <br />
<br />
== Marriage ==<br />
<br />
In the past, [[marriage]] was a two-party agreement or contract between a man and a woman by permission of their natural Father and Mother. In fact, before the twentieth century there were few marriage licenses needed. A shift in the nature of the union of Husband and Wife had begun in the 1700's that would alter the nature of society itself.<br />
<br />
By 1843 [[Karl Marx Marriage|Karl Marx]] when he married Fräulein Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen did not get a license. He merely had a marriage contract. But that contract was sanctioned by Frederick William, King of Prussia through the official of the government Wilhelm Christian Heinrich Burger, royal Prussian notary. <br />
<br />
The shifting of authority from the natural ''Father and Mother'' of the [[family]] as a natural social unit to a strictly civil relationship under the [[conscripted fathers]] of the State changes the nature of the union.<br />
<br />
== Two parties ==<br />
<br />
Marriage by the state is a three-party contract giving the state not only judicial power over the contract but legislative and executive power as well. The judicial, legislative and executive powers has shifted to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Gods|gods]] many of the [[World|world]]. <br />
<br />
That is way too much power with little balance which corrupts the rulers and makes the people [[Slothful|slothful]] and entangles them in the [[Elements]] of the [[World]]. <br />
<br />
Marriage use to be a two-party contract establishing a union based on that contract and fundamental [[Natural Law]] as "Husband and Wife", a great "domestic relationship". <br />
<br />
On January 30, 2014 Alan Keyes wrote an article entitled [http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/140130 ''''Why government involvement in marriage is vital'''.'] As much as I may respect him, I believe he is wrong in his conclusion along with Rep. Mike Turner and other Lawmakers who are considering the prevention of ALL Marriage in Oklahoma (see the following article [http://www.news9.com/story/24543033/lawmakers-consider-preventing-all-marriage-in-oklahoma ''''Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma'''.']) I believe that they are missing some important elements of the problem. They do not understand what they want to create and how to go about it. <br />
<br />
With a two-party contract you can still use civil courts to settle disputes but it would be the jury, or if you choose together, the judge who decides "fact and law" as we once did in the republics of America and not the legislature nor the executive branches of government which is what you have now...<br />
<br />
== It begins ==<br />
<br />
It was Marie Antoinette's brother Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire from 1765 to 1790 who began to redefine marriage as a civil contract. Originally the union of man and woman was merely a contract between two parties and the record was kept by the family and archived by the Church which was not a party to the contract. Today the state is a party to a three party contract and they have the power to change the terms, terminate the contract and even divide the property. Most Americans do not understand the nature of that license and contract which is changing. <br />
<br />
With new rulings of the Supreme court and redefining the term ''marriage'' we will soon see ministers sued for refusing to perform gay marriages. The truth is ministers should have never agreed to perform ''state marriage contracts''.<br />
<br />
Churches and their ministers should be in the [[World|world]] but not of it. They should have remained the "[[Body of Christ]]" and not become a part of the body of the state.<br />

There are many ways in which a legal system increases its limited authority, but it is most complete through the consent of the individual. In China, they have “the one child contract”. If you sign it, you will become eligible for many of the benefits offered by the government, such as free medical care, schooling, and better paying jobs. If later the mother becomes pregnant and refuses to abort the child, the family becomes responsible for paying back all the benefits they received for the first child, and often suffer the loss of their present employed position and pay scale. In America, the pressure to abort a child is often much more subtle.<br />
<br />
: “The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children [fetus],<Ref>1Strong’s No. 1025 brephos {bref’-os}of uncertain affin.; n n AV - babe (5) - child (1) - infant (1) - young child (1) [8]1a) an unborn child, embryo, a fetus 1b) a new-born child, an infant, a babe </Ref> to the end they might not live.”<Ref>Strong’s No. 2225 zoogoneo {dzo-og-on-eh’-o}from the same as 2226 and a derivative of 1096; vb AV - preserve (1) - live (1) [2]1) to bring forth alive 2) to give life 3) to preserve alive</Ref> (Acts 7:19)<br />
<br />
If children survive the financial and social pressure to be aborted, they must still overcome the strain of the mental and spiritual pressures society shall place upon them. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, society as a whole is continuously degrading the [[family]] as a unit, even though the family is the foundation from which the society is built.<br />
<br />
== Reproduction ==<br />
<br />
[[Canon law]] says the purpose of Marriage is to protect the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the next generation and education of children.<br />
<br />
: “If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made in the family.”<Ref>Speakers Encyclopedia of Stories, by J.M Braude.</Ref><br />
<br />
Economic pressures may burden and exhaust the parents. Social Security often removes the grandparents from the family unit. School systems distance the parents from the mental development of the children as they are molded outside the family unit. The media and socially applied peer pressures add their own unique and varied distortions to the child’s development. <br />
: “When the foundation fails all fails.”<Ref>Maxims of Law from 1856 Bouvier’s Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
The few parents who feel a sense of responsibility to raise their children directly, often find their way blocked by a legal system that seems to be usurping the authority of the parents by assuming custody of children in the name of “The Law”. Yet, is it usurpation or have we unwittingly waived custody of our children by some previous legal contract or consensual agreement?<br />
<br />
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: <br />
<br />
* “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”<br />
<br />
* “8. Law, as distinguished from equity, denotes the doctrine and the procedure of the common law of England and America, from which equity is a departure. In respect to the ground of the authority of law, it is divided as natural law, or the law of nature or of God, and positive law.”<Ref>5Bouvier’s Law Dictionary vol II.</Ref><br />
<br />
: “The union of a man and a woman is of the law of nature.”<Ref>Conjuctio mariti et femina est de jure naturæ.</Ref><br />
<br />
But, Attorney Dale Bruder argued, “The Respondent ‘renounced his naturally acquired and naturally endowed personal sovereignty’, when he applied for and executed a marriage license under the laws of the State of California so as to obtain the status of ‘marriage’”. He went on to clarify his legal position, “Said license provided irrefutable proof that, the respondent ‘has voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly submitted, and subjected himself to the jurisdiction’ of the State of California”.<Ref>Fabricus vs. Fabricus, Superior Court of California, Case No. 09-231956, May 26, 2009.</Ref><br />
<br />
By these definitions and maxims, we see that the union of a man and woman is a relative, yet, private and natural relationship; and, as a natural relationship, is subject to “natural law”, natural law being “divine will… in contradistinction to positive law”, positive law being that law “established, under human sanctions”. The natural relation of Husband and Wife and its products, such as children, should be relatively free of any interference by others, and so it should be, for “Matrimony ought to be free”.<Ref>Matrimonia debent esse libra. Halkers, Max. 86; 2 Kent, Comm. 102.</Ref><br />
* “The laws of nature are unchangeable.”<Ref>Jura naturæ sunt immutabilia. Branch, Princ.; Oliver Forms, 56.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word, “marriage, as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married”, “is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for the discharge to each other and the community of duties legally incumbent on those whose association is found on the distinction of sex”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p. 1163.</Ref><br />
<br />
First, it is clear that marriage is distinguished, essentially different, from both the “agreement to marry” and the “act of becoming married”. Secondly, marriage is a civil status. “Civil” is a word used in “contradistinction to military, ecclesiastical, natural, or foreign; thus, we speak of a civil station, as opposed to …an ecclesiastical station”.<Ref>Civil. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary ed. p.331.</Ref><br />
<br />
It also explains that the obligations of the man and woman are not merely to each other, but also to the “community”, and that these civil duties are “legally incumbent”. An “incumbent” is then defined as, “A person who is in present possession of an office; one who is legally authorized to discharge the duties of an office”.<Ref>State v McCollister, 11 Ohio, 50; State v. Blackmore, 104 Mo. 340, 15 S.W. 960. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p.947.</Ref><br />
<br />
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1355.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word “individual” in the book “Language”, found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities’”. <br />
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person”<Ref>Omnis persona est homo, sed non vicissim.</Ref><br />
<br />
A person, by definition, is legally bound and connected to the community, while the individual seems to be equal to, or on a separate footing, from the community. The individual is apparently not obligated to the bureaucratic administration in the same degree as those in the legal community. The administrative system has coined the phrase “an individual person” or “natural person”. As usual, their attempt to alleviate confusion seems to have done more to add to the chaos.<br />
: “Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”<Ref>Homo vocabulum est; persona juris civilitis. Calvinus, Lex.</Ref><br />
<br />
Fundamentally, is marriage a status or relationship? Today, “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.<br />
<br />
* “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.”<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who are the parties and which law fixes the rights and obligations? Today’s Relationship of Marriage is often neither natural, remembering that the law of nature is “divine will”, nor is it ecclesiastical, which is “distinguished from ‘civil’ or ‘secular’”,<Ref>Ecclesiastical. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 640.</Ref> but it is civil.<br />
<br />
As spoken of earlier in Bouvier’s, the “private” relationships of “husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward” are not the same as the “legal” relationship granted by a Marriage license, which is clearly “public”, such as “the relation of the magistrate and people”. “The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born, live, and die.”<Ref>Leges naturæ perfectissimæ sunt et immutaviles; humani vero juris conditio semper in infinitum decurrit, et nihil est in co quod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivunt, moriuntur.7 Coke, 25.</Ref><br />
<br />
A “Marriage license” is “A license or permission granted by public authority to persons who intend to intermarry,… By statute it is made an essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the marriage”,<Ref>Black’s 5th Ed.</Ref> as opposed to ecclesiastical solemnization before civil witnesses. It should be becoming clear that there are at least two types of marriages and, therefore, at least two types of husband-and-wife relationships. <br />
* “Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state.”<Ref>Appellate Court of Illinois, NO. 5-97-0108: Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146.</Ref><br />
<br />
The state has a right to define relationships with the state and in a state marriage, “…When two people decide to get married, they are required to first procure a license from the State. If they have children of this marriage, they are required by the State to submit their children to certain things, such as school attendance and vaccinations. Furthermore, if at some time in the future the couple decides the marriage is not working, they must petition the State for a divorce. Marriage is a three-party contract between the man, the woman, and the State”.<Ref>Linneman v. Linneman, 1 Ill. App. 2d 48, 50, 116 N.E.2d 182, 183 (1953), citing Van Koten v. Van Koten, 323 Ill. 323, 326, 154 N.E. 146 (1926).</Ref><br />
<br />
In the first paragraph, we see again that at least one type of marriage is “civil” or “public”, as distinguished from another, which may be “private”, “ecclesiastical”, or “natural”. Ecclesiastical organizations have “no legal significance” and, therefore, no civil effect. <br />
<br />
This statement made by Clark sets a distinct division between religious freedom and the absence of it. On the one side, he mentions religious freedom in relation to ecclesiastical marriage, but it seems a simple step to realize the reciprocal conclusion. If the ecclesiastical authority to marry has no influence in the realm of legal marriages, then a legal marriage would then have no influence in the realm of ecclesiastical matrimony. This principle applies also to the marriage between the legal churches and the state and the state which established it. The legal church is not operating under the religious freedom aspect of Law in America.<br />
<br />
Religious freedom means freedom from dominion over religious practices, which should include the law established by religious belief, as well as rituals, ceremonies, and customs. Religious practices are not merely incantations, sprinkling of water, and smoky rituals. Religious practices includes almost every aspect of life itself.<br />
<br />
However, a marriage performed by an “ecclesiastical organization” should not be confused with a marriage performed by today’s churches, which are incorporated entities<Ref>Incorporation…the formation of a legal or political body… In civil law. The union of one domain to another. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdp. 946. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?…2Co 6:15</Ref> of the state, performing civil marriages as state agents. In most cases, churches will not marry any couple who has not obtained permission to marry, through the purchase of a license from the state, prior to the ceremony. Almost all marriages performed in these churches are performed by the authority vested in those churches and ministers by the state in which they have agreed to act as an agent. This makes the minister an officer of the state carrying out the official duties of that state. Those marriages are not ecclesiastical because they do have legal significance.<br />
<br />
The word “Church” in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word “ekklesia”, which comes from two words “ek”, meaning “out” and “kaleo”, meaning “to call”. Today’s incorporated churches are not marrying couples ecclesiastically, but are calling their people into an unequal civil relationship with the state.<br />
<br />
Clark states that this civil marriage contract is a “mutual assent”. As is the case with all contracts, there must be mutual consent and valid consideration. In a natural joining of a man and a woman as Husband and Wife, there is a mutual consent and consideration, but if one or both are persons and have a “legal status” and are obligated to another, then there cannot be a valid consideration without the permission of the one to whom the party is subject.<br />
<br />
In old English law, “Marriage is used in the sense of ‘maritagium’ (qv), or the feudal right enjoyed by the lord or guardian in chivalry of disposing of his ward in marriage”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
This is also, in principal, how the word is used today. To clarify this relationship of “lord and ward”, we may consider Clark’s statement, “the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by law instead of by the parties themselves”, to show that it is the third party, known as the state, that has the right to fix the extent of the privileges and duties by law, which is a larger position to hold in that three-party relationship. The word “law” here refers to the legal system which has already obtained, or at least assumed that it has obtained, a jurisdictional authority over the parties by their consent, either before their application for license (permission) or at the time of its public solemnization.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also defined as that which “signifies the act, ceremony or formal proceeding by which persons take each other for husband and wife”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
Note the use of the word “persons” and the lack of capitalization of the words “Husband and Wife”. In the same law dictionary, the word “for” is defined as “instead of” or “in place of”.<Ref>Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 795.</Ref> So, the legal status of marriage by civil authority is where you take each other, assenting into a civil relationship with the state, not as Husband and Wife, but “instead of” Husband and Wife, or in other words, “for” husband and wife, and children, who become wards of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
In 1906, the Supreme Court of Nebraska stated that: “It (marriage) differs from all other contracts<Ref>Sample bill passed in order to comply with US Code 42, Section 666. “Bill 532 1997/6/10 Part I Documents Requiring Social Security Numbers for Use in Child Support Enforcement SEC. 4.- “Section 20-1-220. No marriage license may be issued unless a written application shall have been filed with the probate judge, or in Darlington and Georgetown Counties the clerk of court who issues the license, at least twenty-four hours before its issuance. The application must be signed by both of the contracting parties and shall contain the same information as required for the issuing of the license including the social security numbers of the contracting parties.” </Ref> in its far-reaching consequences to the body politic itself, and for that reason, in dealing with it or the status resulting therefrom, the state never stands indifferent, but is always a party whose interest must be taken into account”.<Ref>Willits v. Willits, 107 N.W.379,380.</Ref><br />
* “Each child belongs to the state.”<Ref>William H. Seawell, professor of education at the University of Virginia</Ref><br />
<br />
The state can and will always consider itself a party in a civil marriage performed by its officers in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed by the permitting authority, but it has no jurisdictional authority over the natural matrimony by “divine will” between two free and natural individuals. It is the previous connecting contractual commitments to the legal society that binds a person’s obedience to the commands of that legal society.<br />
<br />
:: Note that a “common law marriage” is simply when the state assumes and recognizes what did appear, at first, to be a “Husband and Wife” relationship At Law, which becomes, in fact, a solemnized civil marriage of “husband and wife” and “state” in equity. <br />
<br />
* “A wife is not her own mistress, but is under the power of her husband.”<Ref>Uxor non est sui Juris, sed sub potestate viri. Coke, 3d Inst. 108.</Ref><br />
<br />
According to the natural law and the common law, “All things which are the wife’s belong to the husband”,<Ref>Omnia quæ sunt uxoris sunt ipsius viri. Coke, Litt. 299.</Ref> not because of any misguided assumption that she is inferior, but because she is one with her husband. It is understood in the natural law that the “Husband and Wife are considered one person in law”.<Ref>Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Coke, Litt. 112; Jenk. Cent. Cas. 27.</Ref><br />
<br />
Even in the definition of Husband and Wife, it is called, “One of the great domestic relationships”. That relationship, “being that of a man and a woman lawfully joined in marriage, by which, at common law, the legal existence of the wife is incorporated with that of her husband”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd.Ed.p.910.</Ref><br />
<br />
In other words, it is a lawful joining of the woman’s status to the man. <br />
: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (Mr. 10:8.)<br />
<br />
This authority that a man holds at law over his wife is not a problem to a good woman, as long as the husband truly loves, honors, and cherishes her, and she is as willing to humble herself to his will as he is willing to truly humble himself to God’s divine will scene and the sacrificing [[love]] by Christ for His Church. As with all contracts, there must be mutual assent and valid consideration.<br />
<br />
: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) <br />

{{Domestic Relationships}}<br />
<br />

== Custody ==<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the husband is to have custody of his children by God’s law, the individual state governments and bureaucracies are constantly claiming regulatory right and custody. Are these claims of the state usurpation without any basis in law, or is there an aspect to the relationship of a husband and wife that is shared by the state? Blackstone’s opinion saw the women more under the authority of her husband than the state:<br />
<br />
* “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert....”<Ref>Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England</Ref><br />
<br />
A ''feme'' covert may not have had legal rights and obligations distinct from those of her husband in most respects because her existence was incorporated into that of her Husband as a Wife. She did not lose her identity as much as, with her Husband, she became an intricate part of a divine corporation of God. <br />
“And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.” (Ge. 33:5)<br />
<br />
Before the Brits became subjects of kings, as it was in Israel, the Husband of a house was king and his Wife sat upon that throne as queen. The products of their union fell under their dominion and no other but God. But today the women and the wife and the children have become a member of a new larger family, the family of the State. This new family, with a new “father”, steadily incorporated her existence into the State. <br />
<br />
* “The statutory word ‘person’ did not in these circumstances include women.” British voting rights case, 1909.<br />
<br />
It was the custom that, if a man and a woman were married as Husband and Wife, then the Husband had custody of the children and held the Wife’s right to contract in a domestic trust.<Ref>In law he may also have custody of his domestic servants.</Ref><br />
<br />
The common law also agrees with the natural law, for “at the common law the father had an almost absolute right to the custody of his children”.<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law, Domestic Relations and Persons Chapt.IV, Sec. 26.</Ref><br />
<br />
A child could be manumitted from this bond in ancient times by Novation,<Ref>“the remodeling of an old obligation.” Webster’s Dictionary</Ref> Tutor, and Qurban.<br />
: “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:” ([[Ephesians 5]]: 28, 29)<br />
<br />
When a daughter wished to marry, she would obtain her father’s permission and he, in turn, gave her in marriage. The son would also gain permission from his father if he wished to continue to take his father’s name as his own. If the husband and wife are wards of the state, then their children must obtain permission to marry from their parent’s master, unless they become adopted by a father who is not subject to the jurisdiction of their parent’s master. In this there is a great mystery.<br />
<br />
Why do men of the United States Government think that “Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs, because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in”.<Ref>Peter Hoagland, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist said in 1983:</Ref><br />
<br />
Men like Daniel Webster believed that “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible”. Then, “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering, but if we neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how soon a catastrophe may overcome us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”. Even Roosevelt said, “I hope that you have reread the Constitution of the United States. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again”.<Ref>Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 9,1937. Document of American History by Commager.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who is the father from whom permission should be obtained? <br />
<br />
By and under whose authority should a man and woman be joined together in the ceremony of [[Holy Matrimony]]?<br />
<br />
“And what concord hath the Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleiveth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”<br />
<br />
: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean (thing); and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthian 6:15-18)<br />
<br />
It is, more often than not, the remedy and will of the public magistrates<Ref>The New Testament word ''God'' is translated from the Greek word ''theos'' which figuratively means “a magistrate” or literally judge or ruling judge.</Ref> that [[husband]]s and wives under their jurisdiction divorce. It is the magistrate that decides the fate of the children in his custody, in contradistinction to the [[Natural Law|law of nature]] and the [[Common Law|common law]].<br />
<br />
: “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Mark 10]]:5,9)<br />
<br />
The implications of all this can seem to create confusion. We should see that neither a bride nor groom can obtain clear permission<Ref>That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also. Quod ipsis, qui contraxerunt, abstat; et successoribus eorum obstabit. Dig. 50.17.29.</Ref>to marry from a father who has assented to the same restrictive legal civil status that they are trying to avoid. And the state, by its very nature, cannot offer permission to the God-fearing couple to marry as a ''Natural Husband and Wife''. These problems can seem to compound as we discover that no minister or priest is available to conduct a purely ecclesiastical ceremony, which would exclude the state and its authoritarian and bureaucratic legal controls.<br />
<br />
: “Be ye not unequally [[yoked]] together with unbelievers: for what [[fellowship]] hath [[righteousness]] with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” ([[2 Corinthians 6]]:14)<br />
<br />
Why should we give authority to the state over that which God has ordained? If we have faith in the Lord’s blessing and authority, why do we also ask for the government’s blessing and authority?<br />
<br />
: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” ([[Romans 13]]:1)<br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most frequently misused quotes from the King James Bible. The word “power” in the Greek is also translated “liberty” and “right”.<Ref> Strong’s No. 1849 exousia, exousia from 1832 (in the sense of ability); also translated right ([[Hebrews 13]]:10, [[Revelation 22]]:14) and liberty ([[1 Corinthians 8]]:9) and defined 1) power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.</Ref><br />
<br />
In fact, the word ''exousia''<Ref>“The Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms” defines ''exousia'' as “right” specifically of the citizen from which all power to govern comes. See Aristotle’s Political Theory, First published Jul 1, 1998; substantive revision Jul 19, 2002. Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</Ref> is the strongest word in the Greek language for liberty, surpassing the Greek eleutheria in its declaration of individual liberty.<Ref>Bryn Mawr’s Classical Review states, “Enomaos maintained that we are absolutely masters of the most necessary things (52-53). Brancacci notices that the term used by Enomaos to refer to human freedom is not the typical Cynic one (eleutheria), but ''exousia'', which expresses ‘the new concept of freedom in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria’.”</Ref> If there is no power or liberty but of God and it is He that ordains the powers or rights of men, then when men grant their right of choice to other men they are rejecting God. Even Aristotle exemplifies the meaning of the word ''exousia'' as, “The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes...”.<Ref>Lawmakers and Ordinary People in Aristotle, by Paul Bullen (1996, VI. 4.1318b38-1319a4)</Ref><br />
<br />
If other men have our right to choose then we are not freemen under God, but under the authority of other men. Did God give us our rights so that we may give them away to others? What criteria does God use to establish the “higher powers”?<br />
<br />
Are we subject to a higher power or are we making the state a higher power by applying for and obtaining a marriage license? If matrimony, through the Law of Nature and the Common Law of the Land, is the domain of God and our children are His gifts, then why would we turn our family and ourselves over to the civil authority of the State? Is that not like rendering unto Caesar the things that are God’s?<br />
<br />
The Bible mentions the word “covenant” over 300 times. It tells us many stories of the binding of man to man and man to God. It is made clear that God requires the keeping of our agreements and compliance with our words. <br />
<br />
Jesus has told us to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matt 5:37). Does he want us to enter into covenants, even quasi-covenants, with those who do not follow the spirit of God and His Laws?<br />
<br />
Why should we ask another for permission to do that which God has ordained? <br />
<br />
: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ([[Romans 8]]:14.)<br />
[[File:wedgodsmany.jpg|300px|Thumb|right|Kneeling before [[Gods|gods many]] ]]<br />
Does God want us to give custody of our children to the State? Does He want you to put your Husband and Wife relationship under the authority of a system that prefers and compels divorce as the most common solution to marital strife? <br />
<br />
: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” ([[Romans 13]]:8)<br />
<br />
If God has given us the Holy Relationship of [[Matrimony]], He therefore has dominion and authority over that relationship. Why should we render unto the state a legal authority over that relationship which rightfully belongs to God? The state only requires you to get a license to become bound and protected by the State.<br />
<br />
: “Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto [[Caesar]] the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21; Mr 12:17 ; Lu 20:25)<br />
<br />
If you are married in Florida, England, or Kuwait, you are considered married in Oregon and everywhere else in the world, so why is not the Kingdom of God acceptable? In fact, it is. An ecclesiastical marriage is a lawful marriage that offers no equitable or legal benefits, obligations, nor jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It would seem that in this life we may choose in many ways who we would have over us. Is the choice not ours? And what choice should we make? Who should be the ruling judge of our marriage?<br />
<br />
: “Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.” ([[John 18]]:37)<br />
<br />
If we have been joined together in the name of God and by His authority, then why must we call on any other name or authority? <br />
<br />
* “Those who educate are more to be honored than those who bear the children. The latter give them only life; the former teach them the art of living.”<Ref>Carolyn Warner, former Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona</Ref><br />
<br />
Should you call upon another just to gain the financial and worldly benefits of a legal marriage?<br />
<br />
: “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ([[Acts 2]]:21)<br />
<br />
Should we turn over the custody of the children that the LORD God has given us to a civil authority that does not follow Christ? <br />
<br />
: “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Matthew 19]]:6). <br />
<br />
Are there other ways that we are going under authorities of men by making covenants?<br />
<br />
: “And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.” ([[2 Kings 17]]:15) <br />
<br />
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt and the covenants of Rome and the spirit of Babylon? And if we have entered into covenants with strange gods, can we return to the LORD God?<br />
<br />
: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 26:45)<br />

<div>[[File:marriage.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"IT is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or<br />
expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract.<Ref>Iowa Compiled Code, 1919, § 6587. See STIMSON, AMERICAN STATUTE LAW, § 6101.</Ref>A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the parties has already entered into a similar contract with someone else. A minor may, under certain restrictions, enter into and be bound by it. It is, in many states, hedged about with formal requirements."<Ref> [https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1990&context=articles FOREIGN MARRIAGES AND THE CONFLICT OF LAWS] (Marriage as a Contract and a Status) By Herbert F. Goodrich, Professor of Law, University of Michigan.</Ref><Br>The acceptance and promotion of "same sex marriage" was inevitable once [[marriage]] became a ''three party State contract''. When a church so ''greedy for gain'' that it conceded the sacred [[social bonds]] of the [[family]] to the [[civil law]] the door was opened to decline of God's foundational institution. That decline was accelerated by the acceptance of a [[social safety net]] for society funded through a table of "[[Legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]]. ]] <br />
<br />
== Marriage ==<br />
<br />
In the past, [[marriage]] was a two-party agreement or contract between a man and a woman by permission of their natural Father and Mother. In fact, before the twentieth century there were few marriage licenses needed. A shift in the nature of the union of Husband and Wife had begun in the 1700's that would alter the nature of society itself.<br />
<br />
By 1843 [[Karl Marx Marriage|Karl Marx]] when he married Fräulein Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen did not get a license. He merely had a marriage contract. But that contract was sanctioned by Frederick William, King of Prussia through the official of the government Wilhelm Christian Heinrich Burger, royal Prussian notary. <br />
<br />
The shifting of authority from the natural ''Father and Mother'' of the [[family]] as a natural social unit to a strictly civil relationship under the [[conscripted fathers]] of the State changes the nature of the union.<br />
<br />
== Two parties ==<br />
<br />
Marriage by the state is a three-party contract giving the state not only judicial power over the contract but legislative and executive power as well. The judicial, legislative and executive powers has shifted to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Gods|gods]] many of the [[World|world]]. <br />
<br />
That is way too much power with little balance which corrupts the rulers and makes the people [[Slothful|slothful]] and entangles them in the [[Elements]] of the [[World]]. <br />
<br />
Marriage use to be a two-party contract establishing a union based on that contract and fundamental [[Natural Law]] as "Husband and Wife", a great "domestic relationship". <br />
<br />
On January 30, 2014 Alan Keyes wrote an article entitled [http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/140130 ''''Why government involvement in marriage is vital'''.'] As much as I may respect him, I believe he is wrong in his conclusion along with Rep. Mike Turner and other Lawmakers who are considering the prevention of ALL Marriage in Oklahoma (see the following article [http://www.news9.com/story/24543033/lawmakers-consider-preventing-all-marriage-in-oklahoma ''''Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma'''.']) I believe that they are missing some important elements of the problem. They do not understand what they want to create and how to go about it. <br />
<br />
With a two-party contract you can still use civil courts to settle disputes but it would be the jury, or if you choose together, the judge who decides "fact and law" as we once did in the republics of America and not the legislature nor the executive branches of government which is what you have now...<br />
<br />
== It begins ==<br />
<br />
It was Marie Antoinette's brother Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire from 1765 to 1790 who began to redefine marriage as a civil contract. Originally the union of man and woman was merely a contract between two parties and the record was kept by the family and archived by the Church which was not a party to the contract. Today the state is a party to a three party contract and they have the power to change the terms, terminate the contract and even divide the property. Most Americans do not understand the nature of that license and contract which is changing. <br />
<br />
With new rulings of the Supreme court and redefining the term ''marriage'' we will soon see ministers sued for refusing to perform gay marriages. The truth is ministers should have never agreed to perform ''state marriage contracts''.<br />
<br />
Churches and their ministers should be in the [[World|world]] but not of it. They should have remained the "[[Body of Christ]]" and not become a part of the body of the state.<br />

There are many ways in which a legal system increases its limited authority, but it is most complete through the consent of the individual. In China, they have “the one child contract”. If you sign it, you will become eligible for many of the benefits offered by the government, such as free medical care, schooling, and better paying jobs. If later the mother becomes pregnant and refuses to abort the child, the family becomes responsible for paying back all the benefits they received for the first child, and often suffer the loss of their present employed position and pay scale. In America, the pressure to abort a child is often much more subtle.<br />
<br />
: “The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children [fetus],<Ref>1Strong’s No. 1025 brephos {bref’-os}of uncertain affin.; n n AV - babe (5) - child (1) - infant (1) - young child (1) [8]1a) an unborn child, embryo, a fetus 1b) a new-born child, an infant, a babe </Ref> to the end they might not live.”<Ref>Strong’s No. 2225 zoogoneo {dzo-og-on-eh’-o}from the same as 2226 and a derivative of 1096; vb AV - preserve (1) - live (1) [2]1) to bring forth alive 2) to give life 3) to preserve alive</Ref> (Acts 7:19)<br />
<br />
If children survive the financial and social pressure to be aborted, they must still overcome the strain of the mental and spiritual pressures society shall place upon them. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, society as a whole is continuously degrading the [[family]] as a unit, even though the family is the foundation from which the society is built.<br />

[[Canon law]] says the purpose of Marriage is to protect the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the next generation and education of children.<br />

<br />
Economic pressures may burden and exhaust the parents. Social Security often removes the grandparents from the family unit. School systems distance the parents from the mental development of the children as they are molded outside the family unit. The media and socially applied peer pressures add their own unique and varied distortions to the child’s development. <br />
: “When the foundation fails all fails.”<Ref>Maxims of Law from 1856 Bouvier’s Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
The few parents who feel a sense of responsibility to raise their children directly, often find their way blocked by a legal system that seems to be usurping the authority of the parents by assuming custody of children in the name of “The Law”. Yet, is it usurpation or have we unwittingly waived custody of our children by some previous legal contract or consensual agreement?<br />
<br />
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: <br />
<br />
* “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”<br />
<br />
* “8. Law, as distinguished from equity, denotes the doctrine and the procedure of the common law of England and America, from which equity is a departure. In respect to the ground of the authority of law, it is divided as natural law, or the law of nature or of God, and positive law.”<Ref>5Bouvier’s Law Dictionary vol II.</Ref><br />
<br />
: “The union of a man and a woman is of the law of nature.”<Ref>Conjuctio mariti et femina est de jure naturæ.</Ref><br />
<br />
But, Attorney Dale Bruder argued, “The Respondent ‘renounced his naturally acquired and naturally endowed personal sovereignty’, when he applied for and executed a marriage license under the laws of the State of California so as to obtain the status of ‘marriage’”. He went on to clarify his legal position, “Said license provided irrefutable proof that, the respondent ‘has voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly submitted, and subjected himself to the jurisdiction’ of the State of California”.<Ref>Fabricus vs. Fabricus, Superior Court of California, Case No. 09-231956, May 26, 2009.</Ref><br />
<br />
By these definitions and maxims, we see that the union of a man and woman is a relative, yet, private and natural relationship; and, as a natural relationship, is subject to “natural law”, natural law being “divine will… in contradistinction to positive law”, positive law being that law “established, under human sanctions”. The natural relation of Husband and Wife and its products, such as children, should be relatively free of any interference by others, and so it should be, for “Matrimony ought to be free”.<Ref>Matrimonia debent esse libra. Halkers, Max. 86; 2 Kent, Comm. 102.</Ref><br />
* “The laws of nature are unchangeable.”<Ref>Jura naturæ sunt immutabilia. Branch, Princ.; Oliver Forms, 56.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word, “marriage, as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married”, “is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for the discharge to each other and the community of duties legally incumbent on those whose association is found on the distinction of sex”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p. 1163.</Ref><br />
<br />
First, it is clear that marriage is distinguished, essentially different, from both the “agreement to marry” and the “act of becoming married”. Secondly, marriage is a civil status. “Civil” is a word used in “contradistinction to military, ecclesiastical, natural, or foreign; thus, we speak of a civil station, as opposed to …an ecclesiastical station”.<Ref>Civil. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary ed. p.331.</Ref><br />
<br />
It also explains that the obligations of the man and woman are not merely to each other, but also to the “community”, and that these civil duties are “legally incumbent”. An “incumbent” is then defined as, “A person who is in present possession of an office; one who is legally authorized to discharge the duties of an office”.<Ref>State v McCollister, 11 Ohio, 50; State v. Blackmore, 104 Mo. 340, 15 S.W. 960. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p.947.</Ref><br />
<br />
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1355.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word “individual” in the book “Language”, found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities’”. <br />
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person”<Ref>Omnis persona est homo, sed non vicissim.</Ref><br />
<br />
A person, by definition, is legally bound and connected to the community, while the individual seems to be equal to, or on a separate footing, from the community. The individual is apparently not obligated to the bureaucratic administration in the same degree as those in the legal community. The administrative system has coined the phrase “an individual person” or “natural person”. As usual, their attempt to alleviate confusion seems to have done more to add to the chaos.<br />
: “Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”<Ref>Homo vocabulum est; persona juris civilitis. Calvinus, Lex.</Ref><br />
<br />
Fundamentally, is marriage a status or relationship? Today, “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.<br />
<br />
* “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.”<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who are the parties and which law fixes the rights and obligations? Today’s Relationship of Marriage is often neither natural, remembering that the law of nature is “divine will”, nor is it ecclesiastical, which is “distinguished from ‘civil’ or ‘secular’”,<Ref>Ecclesiastical. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 640.</Ref> but it is civil.<br />
<br />
As spoken of earlier in Bouvier’s, the “private” relationships of “husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward” are not the same as the “legal” relationship granted by a Marriage license, which is clearly “public”, such as “the relation of the magistrate and people”. “The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born, live, and die.”<Ref>Leges naturæ perfectissimæ sunt et immutaviles; humani vero juris conditio semper in infinitum decurrit, et nihil est in co quod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivunt, moriuntur.7 Coke, 25.</Ref><br />
<br />
A “Marriage license” is “A license or permission granted by public authority to persons who intend to intermarry,… By statute it is made an essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the marriage”,<Ref>Black’s 5th Ed.</Ref> as opposed to ecclesiastical solemnization before civil witnesses. It should be becoming clear that there are at least two types of marriages and, therefore, at least two types of husband-and-wife relationships. <br />
* “Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state.”<Ref>Appellate Court of Illinois, NO. 5-97-0108: Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146.</Ref><br />
<br />
The state has a right to define relationships with the state and in a state marriage, “…When two people decide to get married, they are required to first procure a license from the State. If they have children of this marriage, they are required by the State to submit their children to certain things, such as school attendance and vaccinations. Furthermore, if at some time in the future the couple decides the marriage is not working, they must petition the State for a divorce. Marriage is a three-party contract between the man, the woman, and the State”.<Ref>Linneman v. Linneman, 1 Ill. App. 2d 48, 50, 116 N.E.2d 182, 183 (1953), citing Van Koten v. Van Koten, 323 Ill. 323, 326, 154 N.E. 146 (1926).</Ref><br />
<br />
In the first paragraph, we see again that at least one type of marriage is “civil” or “public”, as distinguished from another, which may be “private”, “ecclesiastical”, or “natural”. Ecclesiastical organizations have “no legal significance” and, therefore, no civil effect. <br />
<br />
This statement made by Clark sets a distinct division between religious freedom and the absence of it. On the one side, he mentions religious freedom in relation to ecclesiastical marriage, but it seems a simple step to realize the reciprocal conclusion. If the ecclesiastical authority to marry has no influence in the realm of legal marriages, then a legal marriage would then have no influence in the realm of ecclesiastical matrimony. This principle applies also to the marriage between the legal churches and the state and the state which established it. The legal church is not operating under the religious freedom aspect of Law in America.<br />
<br />
Religious freedom means freedom from dominion over religious practices, which should include the law established by religious belief, as well as rituals, ceremonies, and customs. Religious practices are not merely incantations, sprinkling of water, and smoky rituals. Religious practices includes almost every aspect of life itself.<br />
<br />
However, a marriage performed by an “ecclesiastical organization” should not be confused with a marriage performed by today’s churches, which are incorporated entities<Ref>Incorporation…the formation of a legal or political body… In civil law. The union of one domain to another. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdp. 946. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?…2Co 6:15</Ref> of the state, performing civil marriages as state agents. In most cases, churches will not marry any couple who has not obtained permission to marry, through the purchase of a license from the state, prior to the ceremony. Almost all marriages performed in these churches are performed by the authority vested in those churches and ministers by the state in which they have agreed to act as an agent. This makes the minister an officer of the state carrying out the official duties of that state. Those marriages are not ecclesiastical because they do have legal significance.<br />
<br />
The word “Church” in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word “ekklesia”, which comes from two words “ek”, meaning “out” and “kaleo”, meaning “to call”. Today’s incorporated churches are not marrying couples ecclesiastically, but are calling their people into an unequal civil relationship with the state.<br />
<br />
Clark states that this civil marriage contract is a “mutual assent”. As is the case with all contracts, there must be mutual consent and valid consideration. In a natural joining of a man and a woman as Husband and Wife, there is a mutual consent and consideration, but if one or both are persons and have a “legal status” and are obligated to another, then there cannot be a valid consideration without the permission of the one to whom the party is subject.<br />
<br />
In old English law, “Marriage is used in the sense of ‘maritagium’ (qv), or the feudal right enjoyed by the lord or guardian in chivalry of disposing of his ward in marriage”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
This is also, in principal, how the word is used today. To clarify this relationship of “lord and ward”, we may consider Clark’s statement, “the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by law instead of by the parties themselves”, to show that it is the third party, known as the state, that has the right to fix the extent of the privileges and duties by law, which is a larger position to hold in that three-party relationship. The word “law” here refers to the legal system which has already obtained, or at least assumed that it has obtained, a jurisdictional authority over the parties by their consent, either before their application for license (permission) or at the time of its public solemnization.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also defined as that which “signifies the act, ceremony or formal proceeding by which persons take each other for husband and wife”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
Note the use of the word “persons” and the lack of capitalization of the words “Husband and Wife”. In the same law dictionary, the word “for” is defined as “instead of” or “in place of”.<Ref>Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 795.</Ref> So, the legal status of marriage by civil authority is where you take each other, assenting into a civil relationship with the state, not as Husband and Wife, but “instead of” Husband and Wife, or in other words, “for” husband and wife, and children, who become wards of the state.<br />
<br />
* “Wife and son are names of nature.”<Ref>Uxor et filius sunt nomina naturæ. 4 Broom, Works. 350.</Ref><br />
<br />
In 1906, the Supreme Court of Nebraska stated that: “It (marriage) differs from all other contracts<Ref>Sample bill passed in order to comply with US Code 42, Section 666. “Bill 532 1997/6/10 Part I Documents Requiring Social Security Numbers for Use in Child Support Enforcement SEC. 4.- “Section 20-1-220. No marriage license may be issued unless a written application shall have been filed with the probate judge, or in Darlington and Georgetown Counties the clerk of court who issues the license, at least twenty-four hours before its issuance. The application must be signed by both of the contracting parties and shall contain the same information as required for the issuing of the license including the social security numbers of the contracting parties.” </Ref> in its far-reaching consequences to the body politic itself, and for that reason, in dealing with it or the status resulting therefrom, the state never stands indifferent, but is always a party whose interest must be taken into account”.<Ref>Willits v. Willits, 107 N.W.379,380.</Ref><br />
* “Each child belongs to the state.”<Ref>William H. Seawell, professor of education at the University of Virginia</Ref><br />
<br />
The state can and will always consider itself a party in a civil marriage performed by its officers in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed by the permitting authority, but it has no jurisdictional authority over the natural matrimony by “divine will” between two free and natural individuals. It is the previous connecting contractual commitments to the legal society that binds a person’s obedience to the commands of that legal society.<br />
<br />
:: Note that a “common law marriage” is simply when the state assumes and recognizes what did appear, at first, to be a “Husband and Wife” relationship At Law, which becomes, in fact, a solemnized civil marriage of “husband and wife” and “state” in equity. <br />
<br />
* “A wife is not her own mistress, but is under the power of her husband.”<Ref>Uxor non est sui Juris, sed sub potestate viri. Coke, 3d Inst. 108.</Ref><br />
<br />
According to the natural law and the common law, “All things which are the wife’s belong to the husband”,<Ref>Omnia quæ sunt uxoris sunt ipsius viri. Coke, Litt. 299.</Ref> not because of any misguided assumption that she is inferior, but because she is one with her husband. It is understood in the natural law that the “Husband and Wife are considered one person in law”.<Ref>Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Coke, Litt. 112; Jenk. Cent. Cas. 27.</Ref><br />
<br />
Even in the definition of Husband and Wife, it is called, “One of the great domestic relationships”. That relationship, “being that of a man and a woman lawfully joined in marriage, by which, at common law, the legal existence of the wife is incorporated with that of her husband”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd.Ed.p.910.</Ref><br />
<br />
In other words, it is a lawful joining of the woman’s status to the man. <br />
: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (Mr. 10:8.)<br />
<br />
This authority that a man holds at law over his wife is not a problem to a good woman, as long as the husband truly loves, honors, and cherishes her, and she is as willing to humble herself to his will as he is willing to truly humble himself to God’s divine will scene and the sacrificing [[love]] by Christ for His Church. As with all contracts, there must be mutual assent and valid consideration.<br />
<br />
: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) <br />

== Custody ==<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the husband is to have custody of his children by God’s law, the individual state governments and bureaucracies are constantly claiming regulatory right and custody. Are these claims of the state usurpation without any basis in law, or is there an aspect to the relationship of a husband and wife that is shared by the state? Blackstone’s opinion saw the women more under the authority of her husband than the state:<br />
<br />
* “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert....”<Ref>Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England</Ref><br />
<br />
A ''feme'' covert may not have had legal rights and obligations distinct from those of her husband in most respects because her existence was incorporated into that of her Husband as a Wife. She did not lose her identity as much as, with her Husband, she became an intricate part of a divine corporation of God. <br />
“And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.” (Ge. 33:5)<br />
<br />
Before the Brits became subjects of kings, as it was in Israel, the Husband of a house was king and his Wife sat upon that throne as queen. The products of their union fell under their dominion and no other but God. But today the women and the wife and the children have become a member of a new larger family, the family of the State. This new family, with a new “father”, steadily incorporated her existence into the State. <br />
<br />
* “The statutory word ‘person’ did not in these circumstances include women.” British voting rights case, 1909.<br />
<br />
It was the custom that, if a man and a woman were married as Husband and Wife, then the Husband had custody of the children and held the Wife’s right to contract in a domestic trust.<Ref>In law he may also have custody of his domestic servants.</Ref><br />
<br />
The common law also agrees with the natural law, for “at the common law the father had an almost absolute right to the custody of his children”.<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law, Domestic Relations and Persons Chapt.IV, Sec. 26.</Ref><br />
<br />
A child could be manumitted from this bond in ancient times by Novation,<Ref>“the remodeling of an old obligation.” Webster’s Dictionary</Ref> Tutor, and Qurban.<br />
: “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:” ([[Ephesians 5]]: 28, 29)<br />
<br />
When a daughter wished to marry, she would obtain her father’s permission and he, in turn, gave her in marriage. The son would also gain permission from his father if he wished to continue to take his father’s name as his own. If the husband and wife are wards of the state, then their children must obtain permission to marry from their parent’s master, unless they become adopted by a father who is not subject to the jurisdiction of their parent’s master. In this there is a great mystery.<br />
<br />
Why do men of the United States Government think that “Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs, because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in”.<Ref>Peter Hoagland, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist said in 1983:</Ref><br />
<br />
Men like Daniel Webster believed that “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible”. Then, “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering, but if we neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how soon a catastrophe may overcome us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”. Even Roosevelt said, “I hope that you have reread the Constitution of the United States. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again”.<Ref>Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 9,1937. Document of American History by Commager.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who is the father from whom permission should be obtained? <br />
<br />
By and under whose authority should a man and woman be joined together in the ceremony of [[Holy Matrimony]]?<br />
<br />
“And what concord hath the Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleiveth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”<br />
<br />
: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean (thing); and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthian 6:15-18)<br />
<br />
It is, more often than not, the remedy and will of the public magistrates<Ref>The New Testament word ''God'' is translated from the Greek word ''theos'' which figuratively means “a magistrate” or literally judge or ruling judge.</Ref> that [[husband]]s and wives under their jurisdiction divorce. It is the magistrate that decides the fate of the children in his custody, in contradistinction to the [[Natural Law|law of nature]] and the [[Common Law|common law]].<br />
<br />
: “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Mark 10]]:5,9)<br />
<br />
The implications of all this can seem to create confusion. We should see that neither a bride nor groom can obtain clear permission<Ref>That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also. Quod ipsis, qui contraxerunt, abstat; et successoribus eorum obstabit. Dig. 50.17.29.</Ref>to marry from a father who has assented to the same restrictive legal civil status that they are trying to avoid. And the state, by its very nature, cannot offer permission to the God-fearing couple to marry as a ''Natural Husband and Wife''. These problems can seem to compound as we discover that no minister or priest is available to conduct a purely ecclesiastical ceremony, which would exclude the state and its authoritarian and bureaucratic legal controls.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why should we give authority to the state over that which God has ordained? If we have faith in the Lord’s blessing and authority, why do we also ask for the government’s blessing and authority?<br />
<br />
: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” ([[Romans 13]]:1)<br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most frequently misused quotes from the King James Bible. The word “power” in the Greek is also translated “liberty” and “right”.<Ref> Strong’s No. 1849 exousia, exousia from 1832 (in the sense of ability); also translated right ([[Hebrews 13]]:10, [[Revelation 22]]:14) and liberty ([[1 Corinthians 8]]:9) and defined 1) power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.</Ref><br />
<br />
In fact, the word ''exousia''<Ref>“The Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms” defines ''exousia'' as “right” specifically of the citizen from which all power to govern comes. See Aristotle’s Political Theory, First published Jul 1, 1998; substantive revision Jul 19, 2002. Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</Ref> is the strongest word in the Greek language for liberty, surpassing the Greek eleutheria in its declaration of individual liberty.<Ref>Bryn Mawr’s Classical Review states, “Enomaos maintained that we are absolutely masters of the most necessary things (52-53). Brancacci notices that the term used by Enomaos to refer to human freedom is not the typical Cynic one (eleutheria), but ''exousia'', which expresses ‘the new concept of freedom in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria’.”</Ref> If there is no power or liberty but of God and it is He that ordains the powers or rights of men, then when men grant their right of choice to other men they are rejecting God. Even Aristotle exemplifies the meaning of the word ''exousia'' as, “The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes...”.<Ref>Lawmakers and Ordinary People in Aristotle, by Paul Bullen (1996, VI. 4.1318b38-1319a4)</Ref><br />
<br />
If other men have our right to choose then we are not freemen under God, but under the authority of other men. Did God give us our rights so that we may give them away to others? What criteria does God use to establish the “higher powers”?<br />
<br />
Are we subject to a higher power or are we making the state a higher power by applying for and obtaining a marriage license? If matrimony, through the Law of Nature and the Common Law of the Land, is the domain of God and our children are His gifts, then why would we turn our family and ourselves over to the civil authority of the State? Is that not like rendering unto Caesar the things that are God’s?<br />
<br />
The Bible mentions the word “covenant” over 300 times. It tells us many stories of the binding of man to man and man to God. It is made clear that God requires the keeping of our agreements and compliance with our words. <br />
<br />
Jesus has told us to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matt 5:37). Does he want us to enter into covenants, even quasi-covenants, with those who do not follow the spirit of God and His Laws?<br />
<br />
Why should we ask another for permission to do that which God has ordained? <br />
<br />
: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ([[Romans 8]]:14.)<br />
[[File:wedgodsmany.jpg|300px|Thumb|right|Kneeling before [[Gods|gods many]] ]]<br />
Does God want us to give custody of our children to the State? Does He want you to put your Husband and Wife relationship under the authority of a system that prefers and compels divorce as the most common solution to marital strife? <br />
<br />
: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” ([[Romans 13]]:8)<br />
<br />
If God has given us the Holy Relationship of [[Matrimony]], He therefore has dominion and authority over that relationship. Why should we render unto the state a legal authority over that relationship which rightfully belongs to God? The state only requires you to get a license to become bound and protected by the State.<br />
<br />
: “Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto [[Caesar]] the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21; Mr 12:17 ; Lu 20:25)<br />
<br />
If you are married in Florida, England, or Kuwait, you are considered married in Oregon and everywhere else in the world, so why is not the Kingdom of God acceptable? In fact, it is. An ecclesiastical marriage is a lawful marriage that offers no equitable or legal benefits, obligations, nor jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It would seem that in this life we may choose in many ways who we would have over us. Is the choice not ours? And what choice should we make? Who should be the ruling judge of our marriage?<br />
<br />
: “Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.” ([[John 18]]:37)<br />
<br />
If we have been joined together in the name of God and by His authority, then why must we call on any other name or authority? <br />
<br />
* “Those who educate are more to be honored than those who bear the children. The latter give them only life; the former teach them the art of living.”<Ref>Carolyn Warner, former Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona</Ref><br />
<br />
Should you call upon another just to gain the financial and worldly benefits of a legal marriage?<br />
<br />
: “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ([[Acts 2]]:21)<br />
<br />
Should we turn over the custody of the children that the LORD God has given us to a civil authority that does not follow Christ? <br />
<br />
: “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Matthew 19]]:6). <br />
<br />
Are there other ways that we are going under authorities of men by making covenants?<br />
<br />
: “And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.” ([[2 Kings 17]]:15) <br />
<br />
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt and the covenants of Rome and the spirit of Babylon? And if we have entered into covenants with strange gods, can we return to the LORD God?<br />
<br />
: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 26:45)<br />

<div>[[File:marriage.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"IT is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or<br />
expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract.<Ref>Iowa Compiled Code, 1919, § 6587. See STIMSON, AMERICAN STATUTE LAW, § 6101.</Ref>A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the parties has already entered into a similar contract with someone else. A minor may, under certain restrictions, enter into and be bound by it. It is, in many states, hedged about with formal requirements."<Ref> [https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1990&context=articles FOREIGN MARRIAGES AND THE CONFLICT OF LAWS] (Marriage as a Contract and a Status) By Herbert F. Goodrich, Professor of Law, University of Michigan.</Ref><Br>The acceptance and promotion of "same sex marriage" was inevitable once [[marriage]] became a ''three party State contract''. When a church so ''greedy for gain'' that it conceded the sacred [[social bonds]] of the [[family]] to the [[civil law]] the door was opened to decline of God's foundational institution. That decline was accelerated by the acceptance of a [[social safety net]] for society funded through a table of "[[Legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]]. ]] <br />
<br />
== Marriage ==<br />
<br />
In the past, [[marriage]] was a two-party agreement or contract between a man and a woman by permission of their natural Father and Mother. In fact, before the twentieth century there were few marriage licenses needed. A shift in the nature of the union of Husband and Wife had begun in the 1700's that would alter the nature of society itself.<br />
<br />
By 1843 [[Karl Marx Marriage|Karl Marx]] when he married Fräulein Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen did not get a license. He merely had a marriage contract. But that contract was sanctioned by Frederick William, King of Prussia through the official of the government Wilhelm Christian Heinrich Burger, royal Prussian notary. <br />
<br />
The shifting of authority from the natural ''Father and Mother'' of the [[family]] as a natural social unit to a strictly civil relationship under the [[conscripted fathers]] of the State changes the nature of the union.<br />
<br />
== Two parties ==<br />
<br />
Marriage by the state is a three-party contract giving the state not only judicial power over the contract but legislative and executive power as well. The judicial, legislative and executive powers has shifted to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Gods|gods]] many of the [[World|world]]. <br />
<br />
That is way too much power with little balance which corrupts the rulers and makes the people [[Slothful|slothful]] and entangles them in the [[Elements]] of the [[World]]. <br />
<br />
Marriage use to be a two-party contract establishing a union based on that contract and fundamental [[Natural Law]] as "Husband and Wife", a great "domestic relationship". <br />
<br />
On January 30, 2014 Alan Keyes wrote an article entitled [http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/140130 ''''Why government involvement in marriage is vital'''.'] As much as I may respect him, I believe he is wrong in his conclusion along with Rep. Mike Turner and other Lawmakers who are considering the prevention of ALL Marriage in Oklahoma (see the following article [http://www.news9.com/story/24543033/lawmakers-consider-preventing-all-marriage-in-oklahoma ''''Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma'''.']) I believe that they are missing some important elements of the problem. They do not understand what they want to create and how to go about it. <br />
<br />
With a two-party contract you can still use civil courts to settle disputes but it would be the jury, or if you choose together, the judge who decides "fact and law" as we once did in the republics of America and not the legislature nor the executive branches of government which is what you have now...<br />
<br />
== It begins ==<br />
<br />
It was Marie Antoinette's brother Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire from 1765 to 1790 who began to redefine marriage as a civil contract. Originally the union of man and woman was merely a contract between two parties and the record was kept by the family and archived by the Church which was not a party to the contract. Today the state is a party to a three party contract and they have the power to change the terms, terminate the contract and even divide the property. Most Americans do not understand the nature of that license and contract which is changing. <br />
<br />
With new rulings of the Supreme court and redefining the term ''marriage'' we will soon see ministers sued for refusing to perform gay marriages. The truth is ministers should have never agreed to perform ''state marriage contracts''.<br />
<br />
Churches and their ministers should be in the [[World|world]] but not of it. They should have remained the "[[Body of Christ]]" and not become a part of the body of the state.<br />

There are many ways in which a legal system increases its limited authority, but it is most complete through the consent of the individual. In China, they have “the one child contract”. If you sign it, you will become eligible for many of the benefits offered by the government, such as free medical care, schooling, and better paying jobs. If later the mother becomes pregnant and refuses to abort the child, the family becomes responsible for paying back all the benefits they received for the first child, and often suffer the loss of their present employed position and pay scale. In America, the pressure to abort a child is often much more subtle.<br />
<br />
: “The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children [fetus],<Ref>1Strong’s No. 1025 brephos {bref’-os}of uncertain affin.; n n AV - babe (5) - child (1) - infant (1) - young child (1) [8]1a) an unborn child, embryo, a fetus 1b) a new-born child, an infant, a babe </Ref> to the end they might not live.”<Ref>Strong’s No. 2225 zoogoneo {dzo-og-on-eh’-o}from the same as 2226 and a derivative of 1096; vb AV - preserve (1) - live (1) [2]1) to bring forth alive 2) to give life 3) to preserve alive</Ref> (Acts 7:19)<br />
<br />
If children survive the financial and social pressure to be aborted, they must still overcome the strain of the mental and spiritual pressures society shall place upon them. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, society as a whole is continuously degrading the [[family]] as a unit, even though the family is the foundation from which the society is built.<br />
<br />
== Reproduction ==<br />
<br />
[[Canon law]] says the purpose of Marriage is to protect the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the next generation and education of children.<br />
<br />
: “If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made in the family.”<Ref>Speakers Encyclopedia of Stories, by J.M Braude.</Ref><br />
<br />
Economic pressures may burden and exhaust the parents. Social Security often removes the grandparents from the family unit. School systems distance the parents from the mental development of the children as they are molded outside the family unit. The media and socially applied peer pressures add their own unique and varied distortions to the child’s development. <br />
: “When the foundation fails all fails.”<Ref>Maxims of Law from 1856 Bouvier’s Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
The few parents who feel a sense of responsibility to raise their children directly, often find their way blocked by a legal system that seems to be usurping the authority of the parents by assuming custody of children in the name of “The Law”. Yet, is it usurpation or have we unwittingly waived custody of our children by some previous legal contract or consensual agreement?<br />
<br />
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: <br />
<br />
* “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”<br />
<br />
* “8. Law, as distinguished from equity, denotes the doctrine and the procedure of the common law of England and America, from which equity is a departure. In respect to the ground of the authority of law, it is divided as natural law, or the law of nature or of God, and positive law.”<Ref>5Bouvier’s Law Dictionary vol II.</Ref><br />
<br />
: “The union of a man and a woman is of the law of nature.”<Ref>Conjuctio mariti et femina est de jure naturæ.</Ref><br />
<br />
But, Attorney Dale Bruder argued, “The Respondent ‘renounced his naturally acquired and naturally endowed personal sovereignty’, when he applied for and executed a marriage license under the laws of the State of California so as to obtain the status of ‘marriage’”. He went on to clarify his legal position, “Said license provided irrefutable proof that, the respondent ‘has voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly submitted, and subjected himself to the jurisdiction’ of the State of California”.<Ref>Fabricus vs. Fabricus, Superior Court of California, Case No. 09-231956, May 26, 2009.</Ref><br />
<br />
By these definitions and maxims, we see that the union of a man and woman is a relative, yet, private and natural relationship; and, as a natural relationship, is subject to “natural law”, natural law being “divine will… in contradistinction to positive law”, positive law being that law “established, under human sanctions”. The natural relation of Husband and Wife and its products, such as children, should be relatively free of any interference by others, and so it should be, for “Matrimony ought to be free”.<Ref>Matrimonia debent esse libra. Halkers, Max. 86; 2 Kent, Comm. 102.</Ref><br />
* “The laws of nature are unchangeable.”<Ref>Jura naturæ sunt immutabilia. Branch, Princ.; Oliver Forms, 56.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word, “marriage, as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married”, “is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for the discharge to each other and the community of duties legally incumbent on those whose association is found on the distinction of sex”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p. 1163.</Ref><br />
<br />
First, it is clear that marriage is distinguished, essentially different, from both the “agreement to marry” and the “act of becoming married”. Secondly, marriage is a civil status. “Civil” is a word used in “contradistinction to military, ecclesiastical, natural, or foreign; thus, we speak of a civil station, as opposed to …an ecclesiastical station”.<Ref>Civil. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary ed. p.331.</Ref><br />
<br />
It also explains that the obligations of the man and woman are not merely to each other, but also to the “community”, and that these civil duties are “legally incumbent”. An “incumbent” is then defined as, “A person who is in present possession of an office; one who is legally authorized to discharge the duties of an office”.<Ref>State v McCollister, 11 Ohio, 50; State v. Blackmore, 104 Mo. 340, 15 S.W. 960. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p.947.</Ref><br />
<br />
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1355.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word “individual” in the book “Language”, found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities’”. <br />
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person”<Ref>Omnis persona est homo, sed non vicissim.</Ref><br />
<br />
A person, by definition, is legally bound and connected to the community, while the individual seems to be equal to, or on a separate footing, from the community. The individual is apparently not obligated to the bureaucratic administration in the same degree as those in the legal community. The administrative system has coined the phrase “an individual person” or “natural person”. As usual, their attempt to alleviate confusion seems to have done more to add to the chaos.<br />
: “Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”<Ref>Homo vocabulum est; persona juris civilitis. Calvinus, Lex.</Ref><br />
<br />
Fundamentally, is marriage a status or relationship? Today, “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.<br />
<br />
* “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.”<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who are the parties and which law fixes the rights and obligations? Today’s Relationship of Marriage is often neither natural, remembering that the law of nature is “divine will”, nor is it ecclesiastical, which is “distinguished from ‘civil’ or ‘secular’”,<Ref>Ecclesiastical. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 640.</Ref> but it is civil.<br />
<br />
As spoken of earlier in Bouvier’s, the “private” relationships of “husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward” are not the same as the “legal” relationship granted by a Marriage license, which is clearly “public”, such as “the relation of the magistrate and people”. “The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born, live, and die.”<Ref>Leges naturæ perfectissimæ sunt et immutaviles; humani vero juris conditio semper in infinitum decurrit, et nihil est in co quod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivunt, moriuntur.7 Coke, 25.</Ref><br />
<br />
A “Marriage license” is “A license or permission granted by public authority to persons who intend to intermarry,… By statute it is made an essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the marriage”,<Ref>Black’s 5th Ed.</Ref> as opposed to ecclesiastical solemnization before civil witnesses. It should be becoming clear that there are at least two types of marriages and, therefore, at least two types of husband-and-wife relationships. <br />
* “Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state.”<Ref>Appellate Court of Illinois, NO. 5-97-0108: Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146.</Ref><br />
<br />
The state has a right to define relationships with the state and in a state marriage, “…When two people decide to get married, they are required to first procure a license from the State. If they have children of this marriage, they are required by the State to submit their children to certain things, such as school attendance and vaccinations. Furthermore, if at some time in the future the couple decides the marriage is not working, they must petition the State for a divorce. Marriage is a three-party contract between the man, the woman, and the State”.<Ref>Linneman v. Linneman, 1 Ill. App. 2d 48, 50, 116 N.E.2d 182, 183 (1953), citing Van Koten v. Van Koten, 323 Ill. 323, 326, 154 N.E. 146 (1926).</Ref><br />
<br />
In the first paragraph, we see again that at least one type of marriage is “civil” or “public”, as distinguished from another, which may be “private”, “ecclesiastical”, or “natural”. Ecclesiastical organizations have “no legal significance” and, therefore, no civil effect. <br />
<br />
This statement made by Clark sets a distinct division between religious freedom and the absence of it. On the one side, he mentions religious freedom in relation to ecclesiastical marriage, but it seems a simple step to realize the reciprocal conclusion. If the ecclesiastical authority to marry has no influence in the realm of legal marriages, then a legal marriage would then have no influence in the realm of ecclesiastical matrimony. This principle applies also to the marriage between the legal churches and the state and the state which established it. The legal church is not operating under the religious freedom aspect of Law in America.<br />
<br />
Religious freedom means freedom from dominion over religious practices, which should include the law established by religious belief, as well as rituals, ceremonies, and customs. Religious practices are not merely incantations, sprinkling of water, and smoky rituals. Religious practices includes almost every aspect of life itself.<br />
<br />
However, a marriage performed by an “ecclesiastical organization” should not be confused with a marriage performed by today’s churches, which are incorporated entities<Ref>Incorporation…the formation of a legal or political body… In civil law. The union of one domain to another. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdp. 946. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?…2Co 6:15</Ref> of the state, performing civil marriages as state agents. In most cases, churches will not marry any couple who has not obtained permission to marry, through the purchase of a license from the state, prior to the ceremony. Almost all marriages performed in these churches are performed by the authority vested in those churches and ministers by the state in which they have agreed to act as an agent. This makes the minister an officer of the state carrying out the official duties of that state. Those marriages are not ecclesiastical because they do have legal significance.<br />
<br />
The word “Church” in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word “ekklesia”, which comes from two words “ek”, meaning “out” and “kaleo”, meaning “to call”. Today’s incorporated churches are not marrying couples ecclesiastically, but are calling their people into an unequal civil relationship with the state.<br />
<br />
Clark states that this civil marriage contract is a “mutual assent”. As is the case with all contracts, there must be mutual consent and valid consideration. In a natural joining of a man and a woman as Husband and Wife, there is a mutual consent and consideration, but if one or both are persons and have a “legal status” and are obligated to another, then there cannot be a valid consideration without the permission of the one to whom the party is subject.<br />
<br />
In old English law, “Marriage is used in the sense of ‘maritagium’ (qv), or the feudal right enjoyed by the lord or guardian in chivalry of disposing of his ward in marriage”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
This is also, in principal, how the word is used today. To clarify this relationship of “lord and ward”, we may consider Clark’s statement, “the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by law instead of by the parties themselves”, to show that it is the third party, known as the state, that has the right to fix the extent of the privileges and duties by law, which is a larger position to hold in that three-party relationship. The word “law” here refers to the legal system which has already obtained, or at least assumed that it has obtained, a jurisdictional authority over the parties by their consent, either before their application for license (permission) or at the time of its public solemnization.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also defined as that which “signifies the act, ceremony or formal proceeding by which persons take each other for husband and wife”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
Note the use of the word “persons” and the lack of capitalization of the words “Husband and Wife”. In the same law dictionary, the word “for” is defined as “instead of” or “in place of”.<Ref>Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 795.</Ref> So, the legal status of marriage by civil authority is where you take each other, assenting into a civil relationship with the state, not as Husband and Wife, but “instead of” Husband and Wife, or in other words, “for” husband and wife, and children, who become wards of the state.<br />
<br />
* “Wife and son are names of nature.”<Ref>Uxor et filius sunt nomina naturæ. 4 Broom, Works. 350.</Ref><br />
<br />
In 1906, the Supreme Court of Nebraska stated that: “It (marriage) differs from all other contracts<Ref>Sample bill passed in order to comply with US Code 42, Section 666. “Bill 532 1997/6/10 Part I Documents Requiring Social Security Numbers for Use in Child Support Enforcement SEC. 4.- “Section 20-1-220. No marriage license may be issued unless a written application shall have been filed with the probate judge, or in Darlington and Georgetown Counties the clerk of court who issues the license, at least twenty-four hours before its issuance. The application must be signed by both of the contracting parties and shall contain the same information as required for the issuing of the license including the social security numbers of the contracting parties.” </Ref> in its far-reaching consequences to the body politic itself, and for that reason, in dealing with it or the status resulting therefrom, the state never stands indifferent, but is always a party whose interest must be taken into account”.<Ref>Willits v. Willits, 107 N.W.379,380.</Ref><br />
* “Each child belongs to the state.”<Ref>William H. Seawell, professor of education at the University of Virginia</Ref><br />
<br />
The state can and will always consider itself a party in a civil marriage performed by its officers in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed by the permitting authority, but it has no jurisdictional authority over the natural matrimony by “divine will” between two free and natural individuals. It is the previous connecting contractual commitments to the legal society that binds a person’s obedience to the commands of that legal society.<br />
<br />
:: Note that a “common law marriage” is simply when the state assumes and recognizes what did appear, at first, to be a “Husband and Wife” relationship At Law, which becomes, in fact, a solemnized civil marriage of “husband and wife” and “state” in equity. <br />
<br />
* “A wife is not her own mistress, but is under the power of her husband.”<Ref>Uxor non est sui Juris, sed sub potestate viri. Coke, 3d Inst. 108.</Ref><br />
<br />
According to the natural law and the common law, “All things which are the wife’s belong to the husband”,<Ref>Omnia quæ sunt uxoris sunt ipsius viri. Coke, Litt. 299.</Ref> not because of any misguided assumption that she is inferior, but because she is one with her husband. It is understood in the natural law that the “Husband and Wife are considered one person in law”.<Ref>Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Coke, Litt. 112; Jenk. Cent. Cas. 27.</Ref><br />
<br />
Even in the definition of Husband and Wife, it is called, “One of the great domestic relationships”. That relationship, “being that of a man and a woman lawfully joined in marriage, by which, at common law, the legal existence of the wife is incorporated with that of her husband”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd.Ed.p.910.</Ref><br />
<br />
In other words, it is a lawful joining of the woman’s status to the man. <br />
: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (Mr. 10:8.)<br />
<br />
This authority that a man holds at law over his wife is not a problem to a good woman, as long as the husband truly loves, honors, and cherishes her, and she is as willing to humble herself to his will as he is willing to truly humble himself to God’s divine will scene and the sacrificing [[love]] by Christ for His Church. As with all contracts, there must be mutual assent and valid consideration.<br />
<br />
: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) <br />

{{Domestic Relationships}}<br />

== Custody ==<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the husband is to have custody of his children by God’s law, the individual state governments and bureaucracies are constantly claiming regulatory right and custody. Are these claims of the state usurpation without any basis in law, or is there an aspect to the relationship of a husband and wife that is shared by the state? Blackstone’s opinion saw the women more under the authority of her husband than the state:<br />
<br />
* “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert....”<Ref>Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England</Ref><br />
<br />
A ''feme'' covert may not have had legal rights and obligations distinct from those of her husband in most respects because her existence was incorporated into that of her Husband as a Wife. She did not lose her identity as much as, with her Husband, she became an intricate part of a divine corporation of God. <br />
“And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.” (Ge. 33:5)<br />
<br />
Before the Brits became subjects of kings, as it was in Israel, the Husband of a house was king and his Wife sat upon that throne as queen. The products of their union fell under their dominion and no other but God. But today the women and the wife and the children have become a member of a new larger family, the family of the State. This new family, with a new “father”, steadily incorporated her existence into the State. <br />
<br />
* “The statutory word ‘person’ did not in these circumstances include women.” British voting rights case, 1909.<br />
<br />
It was the custom that, if a man and a woman were married as Husband and Wife, then the Husband had custody of the children and held the Wife’s right to contract in a domestic trust.<Ref>In law he may also have custody of his domestic servants.</Ref><br />
<br />
The common law also agrees with the natural law, for “at the common law the father had an almost absolute right to the custody of his children”.<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law, Domestic Relations and Persons Chapt.IV, Sec. 26.</Ref><br />
<br />
A child could be manumitted from this bond in ancient times by Novation,<Ref>“the remodeling of an old obligation.” Webster’s Dictionary</Ref> Tutor, and Qurban.<br />
: “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:” ([[Ephesians 5]]: 28, 29)<br />
<br />
When a daughter wished to marry, she would obtain her father’s permission and he, in turn, gave her in marriage. The son would also gain permission from his father if he wished to continue to take his father’s name as his own. If the husband and wife are wards of the state, then their children must obtain permission to marry from their parent’s master, unless they become adopted by a father who is not subject to the jurisdiction of their parent’s master. In this there is a great mystery.<br />
<br />
Why do men of the United States Government think that “Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs, because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in”.<Ref>Peter Hoagland, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist said in 1983:</Ref><br />
<br />
Men like Daniel Webster believed that “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible”. Then, “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering, but if we neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how soon a catastrophe may overcome us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”. Even Roosevelt said, “I hope that you have reread the Constitution of the United States. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again”.<Ref>Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 9,1937. Document of American History by Commager.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who is the father from whom permission should be obtained? <br />
<br />
By and under whose authority should a man and woman be joined together in the ceremony of [[Holy Matrimony]]?<br />
<br />
“And what concord hath the Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleiveth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”<br />
<br />
: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean (thing); and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthian 6:15-18)<br />
<br />
It is, more often than not, the remedy and will of the public magistrates<Ref>The New Testament word ''God'' is translated from the Greek word ''theos'' which figuratively means “a magistrate” or literally judge or ruling judge.</Ref> that [[husband]]s and wives under their jurisdiction divorce. It is the magistrate that decides the fate of the children in his custody, in contradistinction to the [[Natural Law|law of nature]] and the [[Common Law|common law]].<br />
<br />
: “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Mark 10]]:5,9)<br />
<br />
The implications of all this can seem to create confusion. We should see that neither a bride nor groom can obtain clear permission<Ref>That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also. Quod ipsis, qui contraxerunt, abstat; et successoribus eorum obstabit. Dig. 50.17.29.</Ref>to marry from a father who has assented to the same restrictive legal civil status that they are trying to avoid. And the state, by its very nature, cannot offer permission to the God-fearing couple to marry as a ''Natural Husband and Wife''. These problems can seem to compound as we discover that no minister or priest is available to conduct a purely ecclesiastical ceremony, which would exclude the state and its authoritarian and bureaucratic legal controls.<br />
<br />
: “Be ye not unequally [[yoked]] together with unbelievers: for what [[fellowship]] hath [[righteousness]] with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” ([[2 Corinthians 6]]:14)<br />
<br />
Why should we give authority to the state over that which God has ordained? If we have faith in the Lord’s blessing and authority, why do we also ask for the government’s blessing and authority?<br />
<br />
: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” ([[Romans 13]]:1)<br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most frequently misused quotes from the King James Bible. The word “power” in the Greek is also translated “liberty” and “right”.<Ref> Strong’s No. 1849 exousia, exousia from 1832 (in the sense of ability); also translated right ([[Hebrews 13]]:10, [[Revelation 22]]:14) and liberty ([[1 Corinthians 8]]:9) and defined 1) power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.</Ref><br />
<br />
In fact, the word ''exousia''<Ref>“The Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms” defines ''exousia'' as “right” specifically of the citizen from which all power to govern comes. See Aristotle’s Political Theory, First published Jul 1, 1998; substantive revision Jul 19, 2002. Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</Ref> is the strongest word in the Greek language for liberty, surpassing the Greek eleutheria in its declaration of individual liberty.<Ref>Bryn Mawr’s Classical Review states, “Enomaos maintained that we are absolutely masters of the most necessary things (52-53). Brancacci notices that the term used by Enomaos to refer to human freedom is not the typical Cynic one (eleutheria), but ''exousia'', which expresses ‘the new concept of freedom in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria’.”</Ref> If there is no power or liberty but of God and it is He that ordains the powers or rights of men, then when men grant their right of choice to other men they are rejecting God. Even Aristotle exemplifies the meaning of the word ''exousia'' as, “The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes...”.<Ref>Lawmakers and Ordinary People in Aristotle, by Paul Bullen (1996, VI. 4.1318b38-1319a4)</Ref><br />
<br />
If other men have our right to choose then we are not freemen under God, but under the authority of other men. Did God give us our rights so that we may give them away to others? What criteria does God use to establish the “higher powers”?<br />
<br />
Are we subject to a higher power or are we making the state a higher power by applying for and obtaining a marriage license? If matrimony, through the Law of Nature and the Common Law of the Land, is the domain of God and our children are His gifts, then why would we turn our family and ourselves over to the civil authority of the State? Is that not like rendering unto Caesar the things that are God’s?<br />
<br />
The Bible mentions the word “covenant” over 300 times. It tells us many stories of the binding of man to man and man to God. It is made clear that God requires the keeping of our agreements and compliance with our words. <br />
<br />
Jesus has told us to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matt 5:37). Does he want us to enter into covenants, even quasi-covenants, with those who do not follow the spirit of God and His Laws?<br />
<br />
Why should we ask another for permission to do that which God has ordained? <br />
<br />
: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ([[Romans 8]]:14.)<br />
[[File:wedgodsmany.jpg|300px|Thumb|right|Kneeling before [[Gods|gods many]] ]]<br />
Does God want us to give custody of our children to the State? Does He want you to put your Husband and Wife relationship under the authority of a system that prefers and compels divorce as the most common solution to marital strife? <br />
<br />
: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” ([[Romans 13]]:8)<br />
<br />
If God has given us the Holy Relationship of [[Matrimony]], He therefore has dominion and authority over that relationship. Why should we render unto the state a legal authority over that relationship which rightfully belongs to God? The state only requires you to get a license to become bound and protected by the State.<br />
<br />
: “Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto [[Caesar]] the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21; Mr 12:17 ; Lu 20:25)<br />
<br />
If you are married in Florida, England, or Kuwait, you are considered married in Oregon and everywhere else in the world, so why is not the Kingdom of God acceptable? In fact, it is. An ecclesiastical marriage is a lawful marriage that offers no equitable or legal benefits, obligations, nor jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It would seem that in this life we may choose in many ways who we would have over us. Is the choice not ours? And what choice should we make? Who should be the ruling judge of our marriage?<br />
<br />
: “Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.” ([[John 18]]:37)<br />
<br />
If we have been joined together in the name of God and by His authority, then why must we call on any other name or authority? <br />
<br />
* “Those who educate are more to be honored than those who bear the children. The latter give them only life; the former teach them the art of living.”<Ref>Carolyn Warner, former Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona</Ref><br />
<br />
Should you call upon another just to gain the financial and worldly benefits of a legal marriage?<br />
<br />
: “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ([[Acts 2]]:21)<br />
<br />
Should we turn over the custody of the children that the LORD God has given us to a civil authority that does not follow Christ? <br />
<br />
: “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Matthew 19]]:6). <br />
<br />
Are there other ways that we are going under authorities of men by making covenants?<br />
<br />
: “And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.” ([[2 Kings 17]]:15) <br />
<br />
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt and the covenants of Rome and the spirit of Babylon? And if we have entered into covenants with strange gods, can we return to the LORD God?<br />
<br />
: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 26:45)<br />

<div>[[File:marriage.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"IT is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or<br />
expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract.<Ref>Iowa Compiled Code, 1919, § 6587. See STIMSON, AMERICAN STATUTE LAW, § 6101.</Ref>A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the parties has already entered into a similar contract with someone else. A minor may, under certain restrictions, enter into and be bound by it. It is, in many states, hedged about with formal requirements."<Ref> [https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1990&context=articles FOREIGN MARRIAGES AND THE CONFLICT OF LAWS] (Marriage as a Contract and a Status) By Herbert F. Goodrich, Professor of Law, University of Michigan.</Ref><Br>The acceptance and promotion of "same sex marriage" was inevitable once [[marriage]] became a ''three party State contract''. When a church so ''greedy for gain'' that it conceded the sacred [[social bonds]] of the [[family]] to the [[civil law]] the door was opened to decline of God's foundational institution. That decline was accelerated by the acceptance of a [[social safety net]] for society funded through a table of "[[Legal charity]]" which is a [[snare]]. ]] <br />
<br />
== Marriage ==<br />
<br />
In the past, [[marriage]] was a two-party agreement or contract between a man and a woman by permission of their natural Father and Mother. In fact, before the twentieth century there were few marriage licenses needed. A shift in the nature of the union of Husband and Wife had begun in the 1700's that would alter the nature of society itself.<br />
<br />
By 1843 [[Karl Marx Marriage|Karl Marx]] when he married Fräulein Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen did not get a license. He merely had a marriage contract. But that contract was sanctioned by Frederick William, King of Prussia through the official of the government Wilhelm Christian Heinrich Burger, royal Prussian notary. <br />
<br />
The shifting of authority from the natural ''Father and Mother'' of the [[family]] as a natural social unit to a strictly civil relationship under the [[conscripted fathers]] of the State changes the nature of the union.<br />
<br />
== Two parties ==<br />
<br />
Marriage by the state is a three-party contract giving the state not only judicial power over the contract but legislative and executive power as well. The judicial, legislative and executive powers has shifted to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[Gods|gods]] many of the [[World|world]]. <br />
<br />
That is way too much power with little balance which corrupts the rulers and makes the people [[Slothful|slothful]] and entangles them in the [[Elements]] of the [[World]]. <br />
<br />
Marriage use to be a two-party contract establishing a union based on that contract and fundamental [[Natural Law]] as "Husband and Wife", a great "domestic relationship". <br />
<br />
On January 30, 2014 Alan Keyes wrote an article entitled [http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/140130 ''''Why government involvement in marriage is vital'''.'] As much as I may respect him, I believe he is wrong in his conclusion along with Rep. Mike Turner and other Lawmakers who are considering the prevention of ALL Marriage in Oklahoma (see the following article [http://www.news9.com/story/24543033/lawmakers-consider-preventing-all-marriage-in-oklahoma ''''Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma'''.']) I believe that they are missing some important elements of the problem. They do not understand what they want to create and how to go about it. <br />
<br />
With a two-party contract you can still use civil courts to settle disputes but it would be the jury, or if you choose together, the judge who decides "fact and law" as we once did in the republics of America and not the legislature nor the executive branches of government which is what you have now...<br />
<br />
== It begins ==<br />
<br />
It was Marie Antoinette's brother Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire from 1765 to 1790 who began to redefine marriage as a civil contract. Originally the union of man and woman was merely a contract between two parties and the record was kept by the family and archived by the Church which was not a party to the contract. Today the state is a party to a three party contract and they have the power to change the terms, terminate the contract and even divide the property. Most Americans do not understand the nature of that license and contract which is changing. <br />
<br />
With new rulings of the Supreme court and redefining the term ''marriage'' we will soon see ministers sued for refusing to perform gay marriages. The truth is ministers should have never agreed to perform ''state marriage contracts''.<br />
<br />
Churches and their ministers should be in the [[World|world]] but not of it. They should have remained the "[[Body of Christ]]" and not become a part of the body of the state.<br />

There are many ways in which a legal system increases its limited authority, but it is most complete through the consent of the individual. In China, they have “the one child contract”. If you sign it, you will become eligible for many of the benefits offered by the government, such as free medical care, schooling, and better paying jobs. If later the mother becomes pregnant and refuses to abort the child, the family becomes responsible for paying back all the benefits they received for the first child, and often suffer the loss of their present employed position and pay scale. In America, the pressure to abort a child is often much more subtle.<br />
<br />
: “The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children [fetus],<Ref>1Strong’s No. 1025 brephos {bref’-os}of uncertain affin.; n n AV - babe (5) - child (1) - infant (1) - young child (1) [8]1a) an unborn child, embryo, a fetus 1b) a new-born child, an infant, a babe </Ref> to the end they might not live.”<Ref>Strong’s No. 2225 zoogoneo {dzo-og-on-eh’-o}from the same as 2226 and a derivative of 1096; vb AV - preserve (1) - live (1) [2]1) to bring forth alive 2) to give life 3) to preserve alive</Ref> (Acts 7:19)<br />
<br />
If children survive the financial and social pressure to be aborted, they must still overcome the strain of the mental and spiritual pressures society shall place upon them. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, society as a whole is continuously degrading the [[family]] as a unit, even though the family is the foundation from which the society is built.<br />
<br />

[[Canon law]] says the purpose of Marriage is to protect the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the next generation and education of children.<br />
<br />
: “If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made in the family.”<Ref>Speakers Encyclopedia of Stories, by J.M Braude.</Ref><br />
<br />
Economic pressures may burden and exhaust the parents. Social Security often removes the grandparents from the family unit. School systems distance the parents from the mental development of the children as they are molded outside the family unit. The media and socially applied peer pressures add their own unique and varied distortions to the child’s development. <br />
: “When the foundation fails all fails.”<Ref>Maxims of Law from 1856 Bouvier’s Law Dictionary</Ref><br />
<br />
The few parents who feel a sense of responsibility to raise their children directly, often find their way blocked by a legal system that seems to be usurping the authority of the parents by assuming custody of children in the name of “The Law”. Yet, is it usurpation or have we unwittingly waived custody of our children by some previous legal contract or consensual agreement?<br />
<br />
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: <br />
<br />
* “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”<br />
<br />
* “8. Law, as distinguished from equity, denotes the doctrine and the procedure of the common law of England and America, from which equity is a departure. In respect to the ground of the authority of law, it is divided as natural law, or the law of nature or of God, and positive law.”<Ref>5Bouvier’s Law Dictionary vol II.</Ref><br />
<br />
: “The union of a man and a woman is of the law of nature.”<Ref>Conjuctio mariti et femina est de jure naturæ.</Ref><br />
<br />
But, Attorney Dale Bruder argued, “The Respondent ‘renounced his naturally acquired and naturally endowed personal sovereignty’, when he applied for and executed a marriage license under the laws of the State of California so as to obtain the status of ‘marriage’”. He went on to clarify his legal position, “Said license provided irrefutable proof that, the respondent ‘has voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly submitted, and subjected himself to the jurisdiction’ of the State of California”.<Ref>Fabricus vs. Fabricus, Superior Court of California, Case No. 09-231956, May 26, 2009.</Ref><br />
<br />
By these definitions and maxims, we see that the union of a man and woman is a relative, yet, private and natural relationship; and, as a natural relationship, is subject to “natural law”, natural law being “divine will… in contradistinction to positive law”, positive law being that law “established, under human sanctions”. The natural relation of Husband and Wife and its products, such as children, should be relatively free of any interference by others, and so it should be, for “Matrimony ought to be free”.<Ref>Matrimonia debent esse libra. Halkers, Max. 86; 2 Kent, Comm. 102.</Ref><br />
* “The laws of nature are unchangeable.”<Ref>Jura naturæ sunt immutabilia. Branch, Princ.; Oliver Forms, 56.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word, “marriage, as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married”, “is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for the discharge to each other and the community of duties legally incumbent on those whose association is found on the distinction of sex”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p. 1163.</Ref><br />
<br />
First, it is clear that marriage is distinguished, essentially different, from both the “agreement to marry” and the “act of becoming married”. Secondly, marriage is a civil status. “Civil” is a word used in “contradistinction to military, ecclesiastical, natural, or foreign; thus, we speak of a civil station, as opposed to …an ecclesiastical station”.<Ref>Civil. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary ed. p.331.</Ref><br />
<br />
It also explains that the obligations of the man and woman are not merely to each other, but also to the “community”, and that these civil duties are “legally incumbent”. An “incumbent” is then defined as, “A person who is in present possession of an office; one who is legally authorized to discharge the duties of an office”.<Ref>State v McCollister, 11 Ohio, 50; State v. Blackmore, 104 Mo. 340, 15 S.W. 960. Black’s 3rd Law Dictionary Ed. p.947.</Ref><br />
<br />
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1355.</Ref><br />
<br />
The word “individual” in the book “Language”, found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities’”. <br />
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person”<Ref>Omnis persona est homo, sed non vicissim.</Ref><br />
<br />
A person, by definition, is legally bound and connected to the community, while the individual seems to be equal to, or on a separate footing, from the community. The individual is apparently not obligated to the bureaucratic administration in the same degree as those in the legal community. The administrative system has coined the phrase “an individual person” or “natural person”. As usual, their attempt to alleviate confusion seems to have done more to add to the chaos.<br />
: “Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”<Ref>Homo vocabulum est; persona juris civilitis. Calvinus, Lex.</Ref><br />
<br />
Fundamentally, is marriage a status or relationship? Today, “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.<br />
<br />
* “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.”<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who are the parties and which law fixes the rights and obligations? Today’s Relationship of Marriage is often neither natural, remembering that the law of nature is “divine will”, nor is it ecclesiastical, which is “distinguished from ‘civil’ or ‘secular’”,<Ref>Ecclesiastical. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 640.</Ref> but it is civil.<br />
<br />
As spoken of earlier in Bouvier’s, the “private” relationships of “husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward” are not the same as the “legal” relationship granted by a Marriage license, which is clearly “public”, such as “the relation of the magistrate and people”. “The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born, live, and die.”<Ref>Leges naturæ perfectissimæ sunt et immutaviles; humani vero juris conditio semper in infinitum decurrit, et nihil est in co quod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivunt, moriuntur.7 Coke, 25.</Ref><br />
<br />
A “Marriage license” is “A license or permission granted by public authority to persons who intend to intermarry,… By statute it is made an essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the marriage”,<Ref>Black’s 5th Ed.</Ref> as opposed to ecclesiastical solemnization before civil witnesses. It should be becoming clear that there are at least two types of marriages and, therefore, at least two types of husband-and-wife relationships. <br />
* “Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state.”<Ref>Appellate Court of Illinois, NO. 5-97-0108: Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146.</Ref><br />
<br />
The state has a right to define relationships with the state and in a state marriage, “…When two people decide to get married, they are required to first procure a license from the State. If they have children of this marriage, they are required by the State to submit their children to certain things, such as school attendance and vaccinations. Furthermore, if at some time in the future the couple decides the marriage is not working, they must petition the State for a divorce. Marriage is a three-party contract between the man, the woman, and the State”.<Ref>Linneman v. Linneman, 1 Ill. App. 2d 48, 50, 116 N.E.2d 182, 183 (1953), citing Van Koten v. Van Koten, 323 Ill. 323, 326, 154 N.E. 146 (1926).</Ref><br />
<br />
In the first paragraph, we see again that at least one type of marriage is “civil” or “public”, as distinguished from another, which may be “private”, “ecclesiastical”, or “natural”. Ecclesiastical organizations have “no legal significance” and, therefore, no civil effect. <br />
<br />
This statement made by Clark sets a distinct division between religious freedom and the absence of it. On the one side, he mentions religious freedom in relation to ecclesiastical marriage, but it seems a simple step to realize the reciprocal conclusion. If the ecclesiastical authority to marry has no influence in the realm of legal marriages, then a legal marriage would then have no influence in the realm of ecclesiastical matrimony. This principle applies also to the marriage between the legal churches and the state and the state which established it. The legal church is not operating under the religious freedom aspect of Law in America.<br />
<br />
Religious freedom means freedom from dominion over religious practices, which should include the law established by religious belief, as well as rituals, ceremonies, and customs. Religious practices are not merely incantations, sprinkling of water, and smoky rituals. Religious practices includes almost every aspect of life itself.<br />
<br />
However, a marriage performed by an “ecclesiastical organization” should not be confused with a marriage performed by today’s churches, which are incorporated entities<Ref>Incorporation…the formation of a legal or political body… In civil law. The union of one domain to another. Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdp. 946. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?…2Co 6:15</Ref> of the state, performing civil marriages as state agents. In most cases, churches will not marry any couple who has not obtained permission to marry, through the purchase of a license from the state, prior to the ceremony. Almost all marriages performed in these churches are performed by the authority vested in those churches and ministers by the state in which they have agreed to act as an agent. This makes the minister an officer of the state carrying out the official duties of that state. Those marriages are not ecclesiastical because they do have legal significance.<br />
<br />
The word “Church” in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word “ekklesia”, which comes from two words “ek”, meaning “out” and “kaleo”, meaning “to call”. Today’s incorporated churches are not marrying couples ecclesiastically, but are calling their people into an unequal civil relationship with the state.<br />
<br />
Clark states that this civil marriage contract is a “mutual assent”. As is the case with all contracts, there must be mutual consent and valid consideration. In a natural joining of a man and a woman as Husband and Wife, there is a mutual consent and consideration, but if one or both are persons and have a “legal status” and are obligated to another, then there cannot be a valid consideration without the permission of the one to whom the party is subject.<br />
<br />
In old English law, “Marriage is used in the sense of ‘maritagium’ (qv), or the feudal right enjoyed by the lord or guardian in chivalry of disposing of his ward in marriage”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
This is also, in principal, how the word is used today. To clarify this relationship of “lord and ward”, we may consider Clark’s statement, “the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by law instead of by the parties themselves”, to show that it is the third party, known as the state, that has the right to fix the extent of the privileges and duties by law, which is a larger position to hold in that three-party relationship. The word “law” here refers to the legal system which has already obtained, or at least assumed that it has obtained, a jurisdictional authority over the parties by their consent, either before their application for license (permission) or at the time of its public solemnization.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also defined as that which “signifies the act, ceremony or formal proceeding by which persons take each other for husband and wife”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd. Ed. p. 1164.</Ref><br />
<br />
Note the use of the word “persons” and the lack of capitalization of the words “Husband and Wife”. In the same law dictionary, the word “for” is defined as “instead of” or “in place of”.<Ref>Black’s Law Dictionary 3rdEd. p. 795.</Ref> So, the legal status of marriage by civil authority is where you take each other, assenting into a civil relationship with the state, not as Husband and Wife, but “instead of” Husband and Wife, or in other words, “for” husband and wife, and children, who become wards of the state.<br />
<br />
* “Wife and son are names of nature.”<Ref>Uxor et filius sunt nomina naturæ. 4 Broom, Works. 350.</Ref><br />
<br />
In 1906, the Supreme Court of Nebraska stated that: “It (marriage) differs from all other contracts<Ref>Sample bill passed in order to comply with US Code 42, Section 666. “Bill 532 1997/6/10 Part I Documents Requiring Social Security Numbers for Use in Child Support Enforcement SEC. 4.- “Section 20-1-220. No marriage license may be issued unless a written application shall have been filed with the probate judge, or in Darlington and Georgetown Counties the clerk of court who issues the license, at least twenty-four hours before its issuance. The application must be signed by both of the contracting parties and shall contain the same information as required for the issuing of the license including the social security numbers of the contracting parties.” </Ref> in its far-reaching consequences to the body politic itself, and for that reason, in dealing with it or the status resulting therefrom, the state never stands indifferent, but is always a party whose interest must be taken into account”.<Ref>Willits v. Willits, 107 N.W.379,380.</Ref><br />
* “Each child belongs to the state.”<Ref>William H. Seawell, professor of education at the University of Virginia</Ref><br />
<br />
The state can and will always consider itself a party in a civil marriage performed by its officers in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed by the permitting authority, but it has no jurisdictional authority over the natural matrimony by “divine will” between two free and natural individuals. It is the previous connecting contractual commitments to the legal society that binds a person’s obedience to the commands of that legal society.<br />
<br />
:: Note that a “common law marriage” is simply when the state assumes and recognizes what did appear, at first, to be a “Husband and Wife” relationship At Law, which becomes, in fact, a solemnized civil marriage of “husband and wife” and “state” in equity. <br />
<br />
* “A wife is not her own mistress, but is under the power of her husband.”<Ref>Uxor non est sui Juris, sed sub potestate viri. Coke, 3d Inst. 108.</Ref><br />
<br />
According to the natural law and the common law, “All things which are the wife’s belong to the husband”,<Ref>Omnia quæ sunt uxoris sunt ipsius viri. Coke, Litt. 299.</Ref> not because of any misguided assumption that she is inferior, but because she is one with her husband. It is understood in the natural law that the “Husband and Wife are considered one person in law”.<Ref>Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Coke, Litt. 112; Jenk. Cent. Cas. 27.</Ref><br />
<br />
Even in the definition of Husband and Wife, it is called, “One of the great domestic relationships”. That relationship, “being that of a man and a woman lawfully joined in marriage, by which, at common law, the legal existence of the wife is incorporated with that of her husband”.<Ref>Black’s 3rd.Ed.p.910.</Ref><br />
<br />
In other words, it is a lawful joining of the woman’s status to the man. <br />
: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (Mr. 10:8.)<br />
<br />
This authority that a man holds at law over his wife is not a problem to a good woman, as long as the husband truly loves, honors, and cherishes her, and she is as willing to humble herself to his will as he is willing to truly humble himself to God’s divine will scene and the sacrificing [[love]] by Christ for His Church. As with all contracts, there must be mutual assent and valid consideration.<br />
<br />
: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) <br />

== Custody ==<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the husband is to have custody of his children by God’s law, the individual state governments and bureaucracies are constantly claiming regulatory right and custody. Are these claims of the state usurpation without any basis in law, or is there an aspect to the relationship of a husband and wife that is shared by the state? Blackstone’s opinion saw the women more under the authority of her husband than the state:<br />
<br />
* “By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert....”<Ref>Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England</Ref><br />
<br />
A ''feme'' covert may not have had legal rights and obligations distinct from those of her husband in most respects because her existence was incorporated into that of her Husband as a Wife. She did not lose her identity as much as, with her Husband, she became an intricate part of a divine corporation of God. <br />
“And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.” (Ge. 33:5)<br />
<br />
Before the Brits became subjects of kings, as it was in Israel, the Husband of a house was king and his Wife sat upon that throne as queen. The products of their union fell under their dominion and no other but God. But today the women and the wife and the children have become a member of a new larger family, the family of the State. This new family, with a new “father”, steadily incorporated her existence into the State. <br />
<br />
* “The statutory word ‘person’ did not in these circumstances include women.” British voting rights case, 1909.<br />
<br />
It was the custom that, if a man and a woman were married as Husband and Wife, then the Husband had custody of the children and held the Wife’s right to contract in a domestic trust.<Ref>In law he may also have custody of his domestic servants.</Ref><br />
<br />
The common law also agrees with the natural law, for “at the common law the father had an almost absolute right to the custody of his children”.<Ref>Clark’s Summary of American Law, Domestic Relations and Persons Chapt.IV, Sec. 26.</Ref><br />
<br />
A child could be manumitted from this bond in ancient times by Novation,<Ref>“the remodeling of an old obligation.” Webster’s Dictionary</Ref> Tutor, and Qurban.<br />
: “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:” ([[Ephesians 5]]: 28, 29)<br />
<br />
When a daughter wished to marry, she would obtain her father’s permission and he, in turn, gave her in marriage. The son would also gain permission from his father if he wished to continue to take his father’s name as his own. If the husband and wife are wards of the state, then their children must obtain permission to marry from their parent’s master, unless they become adopted by a father who is not subject to the jurisdiction of their parent’s master. In this there is a great mystery.<br />
<br />
Why do men of the United States Government think that “Fundamental, Bible believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs, because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in”.<Ref>Peter Hoagland, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist said in 1983:</Ref><br />
<br />
Men like Daniel Webster believed that “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible”. Then, “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering, but if we neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how soon a catastrophe may overcome us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”. Even Roosevelt said, “I hope that you have reread the Constitution of the United States. Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again”.<Ref>Franklin Delano Roosevelt March 9,1937. Document of American History by Commager.</Ref><br />
<br />
Who is the father from whom permission should be obtained? <br />
<br />
By and under whose authority should a man and woman be joined together in the ceremony of [[Holy Matrimony]]?<br />
<br />
“And what concord hath the Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleiveth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”<br />
<br />
: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean (thing); and I will receive you. And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthian 6:15-18)<br />
<br />
It is, more often than not, the remedy and will of the public magistrates<Ref>The New Testament word ''God'' is translated from the Greek word ''theos'' which figuratively means “a magistrate” or literally judge or ruling judge.</Ref> that [[husband]]s and wives under their jurisdiction divorce. It is the magistrate that decides the fate of the children in his custody, in contradistinction to the [[Natural Law|law of nature]] and the [[Common Law|common law]].<br />
<br />
: “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Mark 10]]:5,9)<br />
<br />
The implications of all this can seem to create confusion. We should see that neither a bride nor groom can obtain clear permission<Ref>That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also. Quod ipsis, qui contraxerunt, abstat; et successoribus eorum obstabit. Dig. 50.17.29.</Ref>to marry from a father who has assented to the same restrictive legal civil status that they are trying to avoid. And the state, by its very nature, cannot offer permission to the God-fearing couple to marry as a ''Natural Husband and Wife''. These problems can seem to compound as we discover that no minister or priest is available to conduct a purely ecclesiastical ceremony, which would exclude the state and its authoritarian and bureaucratic legal controls.<br />
<br />
: “Be ye not unequally [[yoked]] together with unbelievers: for what [[fellowship]] hath [[righteousness]] with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” ([[2 Corinthians 6]]:14)<br />
<br />
Why should we give authority to the state over that which God has ordained? If we have faith in the Lord’s blessing and authority, why do we also ask for the government’s blessing and authority?<br />
<br />
: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” ([[Romans 13]]:1)<br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most frequently misused quotes from the King James Bible. The word “power” in the Greek is also translated “liberty” and “right”.<Ref> Strong’s No. 1849 exousia, exousia from 1832 (in the sense of ability); also translated right ([[Hebrews 13]]:10, [[Revelation 22]]:14) and liberty ([[1 Corinthians 8]]:9) and defined 1) power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.</Ref><br />
<br />
In fact, the word ''exousia''<Ref>“The Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms” defines ''exousia'' as “right” specifically of the citizen from which all power to govern comes. See Aristotle’s Political Theory, First published Jul 1, 1998; substantive revision Jul 19, 2002. Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</Ref> is the strongest word in the Greek language for liberty, surpassing the Greek eleutheria in its declaration of individual liberty.<Ref>Bryn Mawr’s Classical Review states, “Enomaos maintained that we are absolutely masters of the most necessary things (52-53). Brancacci notices that the term used by Enomaos to refer to human freedom is not the typical Cynic one (eleutheria), but ''exousia'', which expresses ‘the new concept of freedom in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria’.”</Ref> If there is no power or liberty but of God and it is He that ordains the powers or rights of men, then when men grant their right of choice to other men they are rejecting God. Even Aristotle exemplifies the meaning of the word ''exousia'' as, “The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes...”.<Ref>Lawmakers and Ordinary People in Aristotle, by Paul Bullen (1996, VI. 4.1318b38-1319a4)</Ref><br />
<br />
If other men have our right to choose then we are not freemen under God, but under the authority of other men. Did God give us our rights so that we may give them away to others? What criteria does God use to establish the “higher powers”?<br />
<br />
Are we subject to a higher power or are we making the state a higher power by applying for and obtaining a marriage license? If matrimony, through the Law of Nature and the Common Law of the Land, is the domain of God and our children are His gifts, then why would we turn our family and ourselves over to the civil authority of the State? Is that not like rendering unto Caesar the things that are God’s?<br />
<br />
The Bible mentions the word “covenant” over 300 times. It tells us many stories of the binding of man to man and man to God. It is made clear that God requires the keeping of our agreements and compliance with our words. <br />
<br />
Jesus has told us to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matt 5:37). Does he want us to enter into covenants, even quasi-covenants, with those who do not follow the spirit of God and His Laws?<br />
<br />
Why should we ask another for permission to do that which God has ordained? <br />
<br />
: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ([[Romans 8]]:14.)<br />
[[File:wedgodsmany.jpg|300px|Thumb|right|Kneeling before [[Gods|gods many]] ]]<br />
Does God want us to give custody of our children to the State? Does He want you to put your Husband and Wife relationship under the authority of a system that prefers and compels divorce as the most common solution to marital strife? <br />
<br />
: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” ([[Romans 13]]:8)<br />
<br />
If God has given us the Holy Relationship of [[Matrimony]], He therefore has dominion and authority over that relationship. Why should we render unto the state a legal authority over that relationship which rightfully belongs to God? The state only requires you to get a license to become bound and protected by the State.<br />
<br />
: “Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto [[Caesar]] the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21; Mr 12:17 ; Lu 20:25)<br />
<br />
If you are married in Florida, England, or Kuwait, you are considered married in Oregon and everywhere else in the world, so why is not the Kingdom of God acceptable? In fact, it is. An ecclesiastical marriage is a lawful marriage that offers no equitable or legal benefits, obligations, nor jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It would seem that in this life we may choose in many ways who we would have over us. Is the choice not ours? And what choice should we make? Who should be the ruling judge of our marriage?<br />
<br />
: “Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.” ([[John 18]]:37)<br />
<br />
If we have been joined together in the name of God and by His authority, then why must we call on any other name or authority? <br />
<br />
* “Those who educate are more to be honored than those who bear the children. The latter give them only life; the former teach them the art of living.”<Ref>Carolyn Warner, former Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona</Ref><br />
<br />
Should you call upon another just to gain the financial and worldly benefits of a legal marriage?<br />
<br />
: “And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ([[Acts 2]]:21)<br />
<br />
Should we turn over the custody of the children that the LORD God has given us to a civil authority that does not follow Christ? <br />
<br />
: “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” ([[Matthew 19]]:6). <br />
<br />
Are there other ways that we are going under authorities of men by making covenants?<br />
<br />
: “And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.” ([[2 Kings 17]]:15) <br />
<br />
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt and the covenants of Rome and the spirit of Babylon? And if we have entered into covenants with strange gods, can we return to the LORD God?<br />
<br />
: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 26:45)<br />

: I'm torn. Not attracted to Liquid Death myself and I totally get the Emoto connection. On the other hand, I love rebellious-type marketing that thumbs its nose at the (BigBiz) status quo. And encouraging kids to choose spring water over Red Bull or Monster seems to be a huge plus. They are also highlighting the hypocrisy of drinking water from plastic bottles. And stealing business from the likes of Coke (Dasani) and Pepsi (Aquafina).<br />
<br />
: So I wonder if a neutral Emoto-style test is really possible. How much do the thoughts of the testers affect the test? If it's an adult doing the test with no understanding of the Liquid Death brand, the water pattern might harmonize with the technical meaning of the label. On the other hand, if it's a kid doing the test with enthusiasm for the "values" behind the brand, perhaps the test would show some super-interesting snowflake patterns.<br />
<br />
: Also, does the aluminum can shield the water inside from ANY kind of thinking. It certainly shields it from the negative consequences of exposure to sunlight and artificial lighting from store shelves which, among other things, acidifies the water.<br />

=== CNN International Interview ===<br />
<br />
{{#ev:youtube|YEBhCzewzHU|300|right|CNN Interview Christians Unplugged 10 min}}<br />
<br />
These '''CNNI Christians Unplugged''' interviews By Misty Showalter appeared in several different segments on CNN and CNNI.<br />
<br />
"[https://www.cnn.com/2010/US/05/27/christians.unplugged/ Unplugged Christians living off the grid]" writes about their visit in the beginning days of winter in "Summer Lake, Oregon (CNN) -- As the sun rises, cool blues and grays begin their slow transition to glowing golds and ambers."<br />
<br />
The story aired on CNN International "World's Untold Stories" May 29 through the 31st.<br />
They commented that "To look upon this beauty in the western U.S. state of Oregon is to understand what people mean when they say this is God's country, and that's exactly why Brother Gregory lives here."<br />
{{#ev:youtube|cKtatGsfCSw|300|right|CNN Interview Christians Unplugged CNN Part 1 - 7:54}}<br />
<br />
I actually think the whole planet is God's country I ended up here with a desire to live and raise our growing family in the country rather than a congested city.<br />
<br />
They also said, "He is part of a wider movement of conservative Christians who are choosing to live their lives on the edge of society, unplugged from civilization as much as they can, living under basic biblical principles."<br />
<br />
While we do want to live by biblical principles we have no goal of living on the "edge of society, unplugged from civilization" as they suggest.<br />
<br />
Brother Gregory does believe that "Christianity has strayed too far from its roots, and has given its role in people's lives over to the government -- as with [[welfare]] programs or health care." and you can hear him say "We are not living off the grid as much as we are creating a new grid, a more wholesome grid," and he did go on to say "We are following a different path that we think is healthier, promotes better families, and better communities." as the article and video records. <br />
{{#ev:youtube|cGQBVEJ8HcE|300|right|CNN Interview Part 2 - Government and the good shepherd. 3:44 }}<br />
And they are right that "He doesn't believe a church needs four walls and a roof. Rather, a church is people who believe in taking care of each other -- living under the biblical principles of [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]].<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We show how the [[Early Christians|early church]] and the church in the wilderness provided for the needy and needs of [[society]] through the [[perfect law of liberty]]. which is why the quote Brother Gregory as saying "Christians should be looking for a way to take care of one another without forcing their neighbor to contribute to their welfare. In essence that's coveting your neighbor's goods through the agency of the governments you create."<br />
<br />
We do run many [[websites]] and is not what someone might "typically think of as a minister" He does regularly get up and speak before a congregation of [[ministers]] who are all over the country, produces [[broadcast]]s, oversees a [[network]] of [[congregations]].<br />
<br />
This was a brief look at what we do and we understand hey would put in only what they could fit or personally felt was relevant. <br />
<br />
The fairly accurately represented some of the many things we say like "'His Holy Church' is a phrase. It's 'His', meaning Jesus Christ. [[Church legally defined|Jesus Christ established the Church 2,000 years ago]]. It's 'Holy' because it's separate. It's separate from the [[world]]. It's in the world but not of the [[world]]. And it's a 'Church', which actually comes from the Greek '[[ekklesia]]', meaning 'called out'. They're called out to do the will of Jesus Christ and the Father in Heaven."<br />
<br />
Brother Gregory is a shepherd in the literal sense at land in Summer Lake, Oregon but he does this for the Church where ministers can come for [[discipleship]] and [[fellowship]]. All the ministers should be good shepherds and "Sheep teach the shepherd to be a good shepherd," he says, "and in that sense, that's what people need. They need a good shepherd who's not going to [[exercise authority|rule over]] them but guide them in the good ways, [[The Way|the ways]] of life."<br />
<br />
Brother Gregory is content spreading [[Gospel of the Kingdom]] over the [[Websites|internet]], through [[books]], letters, [[Audio-Video]] recordings and [[broadcast]]s, a multitude of media and face to face. Which includes simply living out his life for the purposes of Christ serving those who are faithful in seeking the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].<br />

Born again

<hr />
<div>[[File:bornagain.jpg|right|thumb|Being born again is being born of the Spirit where we begin to see things with spiritual eyes and spiritual ears given us by the comforting of the [[Holy Spirit]]. It is the antithesis of eating from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil. [[John 3]] gives us a caveat if we imagine we are born again. <Br>The Bible should be read in the context of the scriptures. Certainly, John should be read in the context of John. You are only [[born again]] if you loveth the light, and if you do evil [[Nicolaitan|deeds that God hateth]] then you also must in fact hateth the light.<Br>[https://www.hisholychurch.net/audio/20211211john3.mp3 Download]<Br> '''John 3 part 1 '''<Br> or press play <Br><html><audio controls src="https://www.hisholychurch.net/audio/20211211john3.mp3"></audio></html><Br>[https://www.hisholychurch.net/audio/20211211john3born.mp3 Download]<Br> '''John 3 part 2 '''<Br> or press play <Br><html><audio controls src="https://www.hisholychurch.net/audio/20211211john3born.mp3"></audio></html>]]<br />
<br />
== Born again ==<br />
<br />
'''What does it mean to be “[[born again]]?”''' <br />
<br />
Are you born again? <br />
<br />
Does the scripture give you a way to check and determine if you are truly [[born again]] or if you are just under a [[strong delusion]]?<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[[John 3]]:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be '''born again''', he cannot see the [[kingdom of God]]. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be '''born again'''. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Jesus said, “Except a man be born of '''''water''''' and of the '''''Spirit''''', he cannot see the [[kingdom of God]].” <br />
<br />
In addition, Jesus made a clear distinction between being born of the flesh and born of the Spirit. Without the [[elements|element]] of this spirit "from above" an individual will not be capable of seeing or comprehending the "[[kingdom of God]]".<br />
<br />
The ''Spirit of Life'' is the breath of God and is the element of a man's nature which is of God, '''from above''', that makes man truly '''man'''.<Ref>[[Genesis 2]]:7 "And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul <Br>[[John 20]]:22 "And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the [[Holy Ghost]]:</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
'''So, how do you know if you’re born of the Spirit?''' <br />
<br />
God said that if we ate of the [[Dendritic tree|tree of the knowledge of good and evil]] we would surely die.<Ref>[[Genesis 2]]:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."</Ref><br />
<br />
They did not die in the flesh instantly but they died in Spirit. Or in other words, you would die to the '''Spirit of Life''' and be born to the flesh alone. <br />
<br />
Adam's and Eve's eyes were opened to the fact that they did not have the ''authority'' or ''power'' to establish what was ''good and evil'' by their own imagination or thinking. That lack of ''authority'' has been equated with being "[[naked]]".<br />
<br />
The English word ''power'' is often translated from the Greek word ''[[exousia]]''<Ref>{{1849}}</Ref> which means the ''power to choose''. <br />
<br />
God granted man the power or liberty to choose many things but not the power to choose or decide what is "good and what is evil". <br />
<br />
The answer to that question is already established in creation by the creator and man has no power to alter that determination. This does not mean that man cannot see what is good and what is evil. With the light of the Holy Spirit he may see the truth but that light also reveals the truth about man himself. If we are not willing to see the whole truth we will hate the light and love the darkness.<br />
<br />
We may in that darkness try to alter what is good and call it evil or alter what is evil and call it good. But man cannot not alter the truth or evade the consequences that comes from his choices to reject that truth.<br />
<br />
Lacking authority, as we have stated, was synonymous to being [[naked]]. We walked with God in the beginning when he breathed the [[Holy Spirit]] into us and we humbly ate of the [[tree of life]] rather than in our vanity ate of the [[tree of knowledge]] of good and evil. <br />
<br />
Because we chose to turn our back on God we were cut off from the [[Holy Spirit]] that offers [[eternal life]]. Men still are eating of the tree of knowledge and in their [[sophistry]] they unmoor the precepts of [[righteousness]] and [[whore]] after their own imagination in [[false religion]], often lined with the tapestry of emotion.<br />
<br />
== The words born again ==<br />
<br />
The term [[born again]] in [[John 3]] is from the Greek ''gennao''<Ref>{{1080}}</Ref> meaning ''born'' and ''anothen''<Ref>{{509}}</Ref> meaning ''from above'' or ''a higher place''. In [[1 Peter 1]] we see a different Greek term used ''anagennao''<Ref>{{313}}</Ref> which can be understood as a metaphor ''to have one’s mind changed so that he lives a new life and one conformed to the will of God''.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Being '''born again''', not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. [[1 Peter 1]]:23 <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Born of water, flesh or corruptible seed are all describing natural human birth. Peter also writes of another birth.<Ref> [[1 Peter 1]]:3 ¶ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath '''begotten us again''' unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,</Ref><br />
<br />
The phrase "born again" mentioned in John 3:7 is a metaphor of that state where God is writing on your heart and mind by the Holy Spirit. It is simply being born of Spirit as it goes on to state in verse 8. <br />
<br />
It is when you are walking in the spirit with God as we did before we chose to decide for ourselves what is good and evil by vainly eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.<br />
<br />
Many say they are born again Christians but are they truly born of the Holy Spirit and is there a way they can tell?<br />
<br />
Are they even Christians?<br />
<br />
'''How do we do know if anyone is actually [[born again]] of the true [[Holy Spirit]] of [[Christ]]?'''<br />
<br />
How do we know we are not under a [[strong delusion]] or worse yet could we be [[Workers of Iniquity]]?<br />
<br />
Before there can be rebirth there must be [[repentance]].<br />
<br />
It is clear God has granted man the power of some choices or there would be no need for instructions. If we are to return to God we must choose to [[repent]].<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:" [[Acts 17]]:30.</blockquote> <br />
<br />
[[Repentance]] by its nature is a choice which usually involves letting go of wrong ideas that are not in conformity to the teachings of Christ.<br />
<br />
Man must first choose to repent which is a changing of what or the way he is thinking then he can be born again which is why we are told:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" [[Acts 3]]: 19. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
How do you know if you repented?<br />
<br />
== Not truly born again ==<br />
<br />
Again, how do you know you are truly born again?<br />
<br />
We know we are saved by [[grace]] through [[faith]].<br />
<br />
How do you even know you have real faith or if you are just fooling yourself?<br />
<br />
The same John who tells you about being [[born again]] also tells you how you will know that you are not born again. <br />
<br />
Many people today are still eating of the tree of their own vain knowledge instead of simply conforming to Christ. They pay false prophets and pastors to tickle their ears and their emotions so that they can imagine that they are saved.<br />
<br />
Being born of the spirit is a gift.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" [[Luke 11]]:13.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
To "Ask" is a choice just like repentance. While repentance is choosing to change the mind it is required that the [[Holy Spirit]] must direct that change.<br />
<br />
What does [[John 3]] say if we continue to read the whole chapter?<br />
<br />
Verses should never be held up as creating doctrine especially out of the context of the rest of the things that Jesus says. Yes, in verse 15 we see the claim, "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have [[eternal life]]." And verses 16 & 17 tells us that Christ was sent that we "might be saved". It is not automatic by what we ''say'' nor just by what we may think in our minds.<br />
<br />
By verse 18 we can see that those "that believeth on him" are not condemned and those who "believeth not" are "condemned already". But again how do you know that you really believe?<br />
<br />
The previous verses must always be read in the context of the rest of Verses 20 and 21.<br />
<br />
<br />

[[John 3]]:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the [[world]], and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that [[doeth]] evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that [[doeth]] truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
So, it is clear that "every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."<br />
<br />
<br />
How do you know someone is born of the [[Holy Spirit]]? <br />
<br />
By what they do or do not do.<br />
<br />
Those dark deeds would include, but are not limited to, the [[covetous practices|coveting of your neighbor's goods]] through desiring [[benefits]] like the [[wages of unrighteousness]] from "men ruling in government ''who call themselves [[benefactors]] but [[exercise authority]] one over the other."''<br />
<br />
Those [[wages of unrighteousness]] are the "dainties" of rulers we should not have an [[appetite]] for even if we have to put a [[knife]] to our throat to avoid them<Ref name="knife"> Proverbs 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: 2 And put a [[knife][ to thy throat, if thou be a man given to [[appetite]]. 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
Those ''evil deeds'' would include [[sloth]] in caring for the needy through a [[daily ministration]] by [[charity]] alone which is the practice of [[pure Religion]] which the [[early Church]] was fully engaged but the [[modern Church]] severely neglects. In fact, the [[modern Christian]] takes a [[bite]] out of one another ''through the governments they have chosen for themselves'' which was a rejection of God as far back as [[1 Samuel 8]], if not [[Cain]] and [[Nimrod]] of [[Babylon]].<br />
<br />
In verse 19 we are informed if we love him, we will love the light of the truth He shared, [[Doctrines of Jesus|His doctrines]]. Those that do not want to know the whole truth and provide for it by [[seek]]ing the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] evidently prefer the darkness. <br />
<br />
How do we know if we love the light and not the darkness?<br />
<br />
Do we [[love]] the truth, even about ourselves, our [[wantonness]], [[sloth]], [[covet]]ousness and un[[forgive]]ness? are we [[workers of iniquity]].<br />
<br />
If we will not [[forgive]] and therefore will not be [[forgive]]n.<br />
<br />
Can we accept the truth about our ''entanglement'' with the [[elements]] of the [[world]]?<br />
<br />
We will know if we love the light because our deeds are evil or not evil.<br />
<br />
Do we like and even insist upon receiving the [[wages of unrighteousness]]?<br />
<br />
Do we [[bite]] on another to get all the free [[benefits]] of those men who call themselves [[benefactors]] or the [[Fathers]] of the earth?<br />
<br />
Do you [[covet]] your neighbor's goods through men who [[exercise authority]] one over the other?<br />
<br />
<br />
Like the deeds of the [[Nicolaitan]] which God "hates" He will hate our deeds.<br />
<br />
The deeds of the [[Nicolaitan]] and the error of [[Balaam]] includes the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] that made the word of God to none effect.<br />
<br />
The word for "evil" is poneros which is defined as "evil, bad, wicked, malicious, [[sloth]]ful."<br />
<br />
Today the young neglect the care of their parents so that their parents have to depend on systems like the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] which was the [[Social Security]] of that day which still makes the word of God to none effect and often causes the young to do no more ought for their parents.<br />
<br />
The list goes on... There are many [[warnings]] in the testaments, by Paul and the [[apostles]] and by Jesus himself that many will say and do things in His [[name]] but will be [[workers of iniquity]]. <br />
<br />
They have no inheritance in the kingdom, we should turn away because they know him not. <br />
<br />
Yes, it is clear we are saved by [[grace]] but if we are not [[keep the commandments|keeping His commandments]] our imagination will not save us.<Br><br />
V21 should make it clear that many [[modern Church]]es are not doing the truth nor coming to the light, nor does their deeds make manifest the wisdom nor will of God.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." [[Titus 1]]. 16.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== The real Jesus ==<br />
<br />
The question we may need to ask is '''"Do we Believe in the [[Real Jesus]]?"'''<br />
<br />
If you know the real Jesus and not some imagined Jesus through your personal or conjured up intellectual epistemology you [[keep the commandments]] that he gave us.<Ref>John 14:15 If ye love me, [[keep my commandments]].<br />
: John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.<br />
: 1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.<br />
: 1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.<br />
: 1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.<br />
: 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.</Ref><br />
<br />
Do you believe in the real Jesus or an image of Jesus constructed in your mind by the vanity of the mind?<br />
<br />
Is it not what you do that reveals if faith is alive in you or is dead?<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"[[Repent]] therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee." [[Acts 8]]: 22. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Repentance should produce works that are not works of [[iniquity]].<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance." [[Acts 26]]: 20. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
We know the apostles say that covetous practices is contrary to righteousness and faith.<br />
We are warned to, "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." [[Revelation 2]]. 5.<br />

Studies for the EPA know contaminated water reaching the surface in an area and those chemicals dissipate in the wind spread contaminates outside the area. <Br><br />
Bayer CropScience, the DEQ and others have spent more on lawyers to avert responsibility than it would have cost to contain the problem and start the process of bio degradation of the toxins. But because of in action, incompetence and a greater will to avoid responsibility and expense than the will to do what is right the contaminated [https://crag.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Report-to-EPA-March-2011-re-Alkali-Lake-Risks-to-Environmental-Health.pdf site expands its toxicity and its Risks-to-Environmental-Health]. ]]<br />
<br />
== The Perfect Crime ==<br />
<br />
Something seems wrong about leaving 1,250,000 gallons of toxic waste unattended in leaky barrels.<br />
<br />
Was it a bad idea?<br />
<br />
Was it negligence?<br />
<br />
Or, was it the "The Perfect Crime"?<br />
<br />
This is just a portion of the 25,000 barrels containing dioxins such as TCDD and other toxic residues trucked out to remote part of the Oregon desert, stacked up on wooden pallets in leaking and corroding containers and left. The barrels remained abandoned there contaminating the area for years before being crushed and run over by bulldozers which finally spilled the remainder of lethal toxin into the air, water and soil near Alkali Lake, Oregon. And then it was all covered up.<br />
[https://www.hisholychurch.org/news/letters/commentsalkalilake.pdf See our comments on the DEQ And Bayer Crop Science Consent Judgment. ]<br />
<br />
<br />
{{#ev:youtube|J3zTbup7JR4|300|right|Bulldozers puncture drums of toxic waste at Alkali Lake, Oregon. In the late 1960's, a chemical company made Agent Orange and decided to park the manufacturing waste in the middle of the Oregon desert. 25,000, 55 gallon barrels full of toxic waste were placed at Alkali Lake, left to evaporate into the air and leak onto the desert floor. By the time the Oregon DEQ took control of the site in 1976, 50% of the contents had already leaked out. The agency chose to deal with it by bulldozing the barrels into 12 unlined trenches, burying it and putting a fence around it. The trench method was the least expensive option presented to the DEQ, and was chosen against scientific advisors' advice and protest; the United States Environmental Protection Agency's regional administrator over the area also opposed the trench remediation. <Br> The state then foolishly released ''Chemical Waste Storage'''s owners from any liability because the DEQ was clearly making things worse.

How much of these contaminants have escaped this toxic site?}} <br />
<br />
Who did all this?<br />
<br />
Why did they do all this?<br />
<br />
What else was done?<br />
<br />
What is the final result and is there one?<br />
<br />
These are just some of the many questions for which we are seeking answers too.<br />
<br />
One of the more toxic chemicals contained in these barrels is 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin(TCDD).<br />
<br />
TCDD is the most potent compound (congener) of its series (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, known as PCDDs or simply dioxins) and became known as a contaminant in Agent Orange, an herbicide used in the Vietnam War.<br />
<br />

The fences and '''signs would be inspected annually, and measures to maintain them would be conducted as needed.'''" ]]<br />
<br />
The Expert Group of the World Health Organization considers ''developmental toxicity'' as the most pertinent risk of dioxins to human beings. People are usually exposed simultaneously to a number of dioxin-like chemicals.<Ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like_compounds</Ref>Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) are compounds that are highly toxic environmental '''persistent organic pollutants''' (POPs).<Ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like_compounds</Ref> Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer. Due to the omnipresence of dioxins, all people have background exposure, which is not expected to affect human health.<Ref>https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/dioxins-and-their-effects-on-human-health</Ref> They are mostly by-products of various industrial processes.<br />
<br />
[[File:alkaliballet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|This professional ballerina was doing a photo shoot within close proximity to the dump site. There had been '''no signs''' warning of the danger in the vicinity. A county official stumbled upon them when doing the aerial filming of the site.<Br><br />
I think someone is not doing their job. Their signs are not numerous enough, strategically located, adequate in size nor are they being maintained sufficiently to protect the public.]]<br />
<br />
TCDD was classified in 1997 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a carcinogen for humans. "TCDD is the most toxic member of the 75 dioxins"<Ref>Dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) http://www.nccnsw.org.au/member/tec/projects/tcye/tox/Dioxin.html</Ref><br />
<br />
"The TCDD found in Agent Orange is thought to be harmful to man. In laboratory tests on animals, TCDD has caused a wide variety of diseases, many of them fatal. TCDD is not found in nature, but rather is a man-made and always unwanted byproduct of the chemical manufacturing process. The Agent Orange used in Vietnam was later found to be extremely contaminated with TCDD. "<Ref>Snipped from Agent Orange Website http://www.lewispublishing.com/orange.htm </Ref><br />
<br />
What do you do with the "unwanted byproduct of the chemical manufacturing process" such as TCDD from the manufacture of Agent Orange?<br />
<br />
Evidently, some think it was a good idea to dump it in Lake County, Oregon.<br />
<br />
'''Why Lake County?'''<br />
<br />
Because it is one of the largest counties and least populated ones in Oregon.<br />
<br />
It has very few voters.<br />
<br />
Is that the best thing to do with toxins?<br />
<br />
No, but it is the cheapest.<br />
[[File:cansleak2.jpg|right|thumb|Leaking toxins include "2,4-D & MCPA herbicide residue containing chlorophenols and polymeric chlorophenoxyphenols; metallic chloride waste, paint and paint solvent; dioxins/furans (including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin); EPA Waste #K043 " "Potential contamination of groundwater, soil, air, & food chain. Water table 5 to 7 feet below ground level; site in groundwater discharge area. "]]<br />
<br />
Truck drivers told me the cans were leaking when they arrived. The producers of this toxic soup knew how dangerous it was. That is why they were going way out in Lake County.<br />
<br />
If you had something that will kill someone is it okay to take it where it only kills a few people? <br />
<br />
What if it would cost you a million dollars or more to detoxify it and make it safe? <br />
<br />
What if you had the money but it would eat up your profits to make it safe?<br />
<br />
What if when you made the product from which this ''toxic bomb'' would be produced and you knew it could be made in a safer way but would make you less money?<br />
<br />
We have many local concerns about toxic dioxins from the production of Agent Orange. <br />
<br />
But law enforcement should have concerns about negligent homicide at the very least.<br />
<br />
You are looking at the smoking gun that has killed and maimed numerous Lake County residents. It should be very clear that there was a threat to life and limb and the public health. That there still is an ongoing threat and damage. Everyone should be outraged and want something done about it. <br />
<br />
What you are looking at is the work of a serial killer for profit.<br />
<br />
And at least one government agency has participated either through ignorance or negligence or just through seemingly justified bureaucratic convenience in covering up the evil truth now buried in Lake County but still doing damage.<br />
<br />
The barrels and toxins continue to rise out of the ground, poison the water and air with sometime invisible death that kills long after exposure and will keep on killing.<br />
<br />
[[File:cansrot.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
'''What happened and is happening at Alkali Lake?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The residue for that production produced by the company filling a government contract to produce Agent Orange for use in Vietnam was dumped at Alkali Lake including at least 25,000 barrels of this toxic poison and then the barrels crushed into the ground by the State of Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality and literally covered up. There are reports of barrels leaking when they arrived; truck drivers not permitted to get out of their trucks at the site; tanker trucks spraying toxic residues in shallow ditches and even spreading these oily toxic residues on the local airstrip to keep the dust down.<br />
<br />
There are also reports of high rates of cancers associated with TCDD, Birth defects in children as well as sick livestock, spontaneous abortions of livestock and even two headed calves...<br />
<br />
What is the truth?<br />
<br />
Who will tell it?<br />
<br />
And who will act upon the truth?<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:cansleak.jpg|right|thumb|Leaking toxins #1]]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Agent of Injury ==<br />
<br />
The corrosive and unstable nature of this method of disposal barrels was clearly negligence. It should be obvious that those who are responsible did this for reasons of expedience and economics. They simply had the barrels placed in a remote location with a callous disregard for the safety and health of those who were eventually exposed and possibly have suffered and even died.<br />
<br />
Local citizens are striving to discover the extent of the damage and compel the government and those responsible to clean up the problem and make amends for injuries caused by these negligent and egregious acts against common sense and the people who live there and even just past through the area.<Ref>Go to: Alkali Lake, ''Time Bomb''</Ref><br />
<br />
Some people would have you believe that every thing is okay. There is little population in the county and therefore little political clout. Maybe that is why that site was chosen? Who would oppose them? Who would stop them? And if harm was discovered and damage exposed, who could fight them?<br />
<br />
The problem with TCDD is that its affects are not immediate. TCDD is a Persistent Bioaccumulating Toxin [PBT] that has been related to cancer, diabetes and birth defects and many other health problems. Anyone exposed to these chemicals may develop problems years later. It is very difficult to tell how many have become ill or died because of the irresponsible abandonment of these chemicals.<br />
<br />
In an addendum to the Ninth Report on Carcinogens from the National Toxicology Program (NTP), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, also known as TCDD or dioxin, is listed as a "known carcinogen. "<br />
<br />
The local people who have been exposed do not have the resources to fight this problem. The thousands of Veterans and the nation of Vietnam have been fighting their exposure and subsequent problems for 30 years. But even our own American Veterans have been running into a stonewall when it comes to taking responsibility for the ongoing injuries and even deaths of veterans caused by exposure.<br />
<br />
On the Agent Orange Website, which is a member of the Vietnam Veteran Web Ring, states.<br />
<br />
* Can you sue the government or the chemical companies?<br />
: Evidently the answer is "No!"<br />
<br />
* Title 38 of the United States Code prohibits veterans from suing the government for injuries suffered while in the military. A class action suit was filed in behalf of veterans in 1979 against the chemical companies and settled out of court. The final funds in this legal action were distributed by 1992. Additional attempts to sue the manufacturers have been attempted, and have been prohibited by the courts. The most strongly fought of these legal battles, Ivy vs. Diamond Shamrock was supported in behalf of the plaintiff by attorney generals in all fifty states, the Supreme Court, however, refused to hear the arguments and that case ended in 1992. In the parlance of the court, the issue is "res judicata" or "the matter is settled".<Ref>Snipped from Frequently Asked Questions About Agent Orange at:Http://www.lewispublishing.com/faq.htm </Ref><br />
<br />
More and more information has been painfully slow in coming forward to the victims and survivors of this toxic nightmare. The damage may be irreversible. It appears that the health and well-being of innocent people have been set aside for profit and gain, convenience and settlement. Saving face may be more important to some than saving lives and stopping this type of negligent and even premeditated assault on people unaware of the danger.<br />
<br />
We would like to know and we are starting to find out just what happened at Alkali Lake and why. But what happened there is not as isolated as Alkali Lake. What happened is the callous disregard for the lives of others. The spirit of, "I am okay, who cares about anyone else" is all to much apart of thinking in the world today. It is not Christian... It is not what Christ taught.<br />
<br />
Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." [[John 13]]:34<br />
<br />
We encourage everyone to seek the truth, study to learn the facts and act so that what is righteous and loving may prevail for you and your brothers.<br />

There is little remedy once exposed but here are some thoughts<br />
Your Health and Dioxin (Agent Orange/Herbicide) Exposure by Gary D. Moore<br />
http://www.ultranet.com/~jkimball/BiologyPages/A/AgentOrange.html<br />
<br />
'''WHAT does all this mean?'''<br />
<br />
Toxins like those mentioned above can cause illness and death. They can remain in people and animals for years causing a variety of debilitating and lethal results including birth defects many years after exposure. The people who are harmed by this may never realize the cause and those who created this hazard may escape retribution.<br />
<br />
Was it the "The Perfect Crime"? We hope not.<br />
<br />
These toxins are not really apart of the silent spring of Rachel Carson. Much more is known today about the toxicity of what was dumped in Alkali Lake, but enough was known at that time that it was painfully obvious that it should not have been dumped there, left there and allowed to contaminate the lives of those unknowingly exposed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What can be done ==<br />
<br />
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2<br />
<br />
There are many things that can be done.<br />
<br />
Stop denying there is a problem by referring to it as herbicide contamination. The used barrels were not filled with Agent Orange. They were filled with the toxic byproduct of the sloppy manufacturing process which has been outlawed world wide. It was the irresponsible and intentional pursuit of inadequate and cheap disposal systems and reckless management of known toxins.<br />
<br />
There is an opportunity to do the right thing, the Christian thing and major companies like Bayer, who bought the original company, including their profits and liabilities, the DEQ who recklessly buddozed the cans spreading an already deadly situation, the United States Government who ordered the manufacture and did business with viciously irresponsible companies have and are all playing a part in this present disaster.<br />
<br />
So people gather and want solutions. [http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Talk:Alkali_Lake making a plan]<br />
<br />
See our [https://www.hisholychurch.org/news/letters/commentsalkalilake.pdf comments on the DEQ And Bayer Crop Science Consent Judgment.]<br />
<br />
=== Bio-degradation ===<br />
<br />
This disaster could be turned into an opportunity to not only change the course of the contamination but use it to turn around the problem of TCDD and similar contamination by finding a way to degrade these unnatural, man-made toxins and substances.<br />
<br />
There is a way, if there is a will to find it.<br />
<br />
There are numerous methods of biodegradation of dioxons if we will seek a solution.<Ref>https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=numerous+methods+of+biodegradation+of+dioxins&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart</Ref><br />
<br />
'''Biodegradation''' is the naturally-occurring breakdown of materials by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi or other biological activity. ... Essentially, composting is an accelerated biodegradation process due to optimized circumstances.<Ref>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradation</Ref><br />
<br />
"There are a variety of factors like pH, temperature, oxygen, nutrient availability etc., which can affect the rate of degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons studied the effect of temperature, salinity and oil concentration on biodegradation of crude oil, the biosurfactant activity and naphthalene degradation by a newly identified strain ''Bacillus cereus 28BN'' was investigated the metabolic capability of 15 bacterial isolates isolated from oil-contaminated site by using enrichment culture technique which were able to degrade aromatic and polyaromatic fractions." <br />
<Ref>http://www.ijpab.com/form/2014%20Volume%202,%20issue%203/IJPAB-2014-2-3-185-202.pdf</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
More research into studies by the Japanese and by Olga Maltseva and Patrick Oriel concerning an Alkaline 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol-Degrading Enrichment Culture produced by DNA Fingerprinting Methods and Isolation of the Responsible Organism, Haloalkaliphilic Nocardioides especially Strain M6.<br />
<br />
It was found that "Prolonged cultivation of an enrichment culture followed by successive transfers resulted in a strong increase in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) degradation rate." http://aem.asm.org/cgi/reprint/63/11/4145.pdf<br />

<br />
Settling with Bayer for $700000 is a ridiculous sum considering the damage, ongoing problems, clean up. Alkali is a great opportunity to discover a solution to this type of contamination all over the world.<br />
<br />
If Bayer has profits of 376 million euros (that would be $527,400,000 US Dollars) and it is really interested in the health of the people and curing headaches it would seem that they would be willing, even enthusiastic, to do something for the health of people, save lives, clean up the poisons left behind by the company they have purchased.<br />
<br />
And where are the Churches, where are the people, where is the love for one another both those near and far?<br />
<br />
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." Matthew 23:23<br />

== The Perfect Crime ==<br />
<br />
Something seems wrong about leaving 1,250,000 gallons of toxic waste unattended in leaky barrels.<br />
<br />
Was it a bad idea?<br />
<br />
Was it negligence?<br />
<br />
Or, was it the "The Perfect Crime"?<br />
<br />
This is just a portion of the 25,000 barrels containing dioxins such as TCDD and other toxic residues trucked out to remote part of the Oregon desert, stacked up on wooden pallets in leaking and corroding containers and left. The barrels remained abandoned there contaminating the area for years before being crushed and run over by bulldozers which finally spilled the remainder of lethal toxin into the air, water and soil near Alkali Lake, Oregon. And then it was all covered up.<br />

<br />
{{#ev:youtube|J3zTbup7JR4|300|right|Bulldozers puncture drums of toxic waste at Alkali Lake, Oregon. In the late 1960's, a chemical company made Agent Orange and decided to park the manufacturing waste in the middle of the Oregon desert. 25,000, 55 gallon barrels full of toxic waste were placed at Alkali Lake, left to evaporate into the air and leak onto the desert floor. By the time the Oregon DEQ took control of the site in 1976, 50% of the contents had already leaked out. The agency chose to deal with it by bulldozing the barrels into 12 unlined trenches, burying it and putting a fence around it. The trench method was the least expensive option presented to the DEQ, and was chosen against scientific advisors' advice and protest; the United States Environmental Protection Agency's regional administrator over the area also opposed the trench remediation. <Br> The state then foolishly released ''Chemical Waste Storage'''s owners from any liability because the DEQ was clearly making things worse.

How much of these contaminants have escaped this toxic site?}} <br />
<br />
Who did all this?<br />
<br />
Why did they do all this?<br />
<br />
What else was done?<br />
<br />
What is the final result and is there one?<br />
<br />
These are just some of the many questions for which we are seeking answers too.<br />
<br />
One of the more toxic chemicals contained in these barrels is 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin(TCDD).<br />
<br />
TCDD is the most potent compound (congener) of its series (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, known as PCDDs or simply dioxins) and became known as a contaminant in Agent Orange, an herbicide used in the Vietnam War.<br />

<br />
The Expert Group of the World Health Organization considers ''developmental toxicity'' as the most pertinent risk of dioxins to human beings. People are usually exposed simultaneously to a number of dioxin-like chemicals.<Ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like_compounds</Ref>Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) are compounds that are highly toxic environmental '''persistent organic pollutants''' (POPs).<Ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like_compounds</Ref> Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.

[[File:alkaliballet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|This professional ballerina was doing a photo shoot within close proximity to the dump site. There had been '''no signs''' warning of the danger in the vicinity. A county official stumbled upon them when doing the aerial filming of the site.<Br><br />
I think someone is not doing their job. Their signs are not numerous enough, strategically located, adequate in size nor are they being maintained sufficiently to protect the public.]]<br />
<br />
TCDD was classified in 1997 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a carcinogen for humans. "TCDD is the most toxic member of the 75 dioxins"<Ref>Dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) http://www.nccnsw.org.au/member/tec/projects/tcye/tox/Dioxin.html</Ref><br />
<br />
"The TCDD found in Agent Orange is thought to be harmful to man. In laboratory tests on animals, TCDD has caused a wide variety of diseases, many of them fatal. TCDD is not found in nature, but rather is a man-made and always unwanted byproduct of the chemical manufacturing process. The Agent Orange used in Vietnam was later found to be extremely contaminated with TCDD. "<Ref>Snipped from Agent Orange Website http://www.lewispublishing.com/orange.htm </Ref><br />
<br />
What do you do with the "unwanted byproduct of the chemical manufacturing process" such as TCDD from the manufacture of Agent Orange?<br />
<br />
Evidently, some think it was a good idea to dump it in Lake County, Oregon.<br />
<br />
'''Why Lake County?'''<br />
<br />
Because it is one of the largest counties and least populated ones in Oregon.<br />
<br />
It has very few voters.<br />
<br />
Is that the best thing to do with toxins?<br />
<br />
No, but it is the cheapest.<br />
[[File:cansleak2.jpg|right|thumb|Leaking toxins include "2,4-D & MCPA herbicide residue containing chlorophenols and polymeric chlorophenoxyphenols; metallic chloride waste, paint and paint solvent; dioxins/furans (including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin); EPA Waste #K043 " "Potential contamination of groundwater, soil, air, & food chain. Water table 5 to 7 feet below ground level; site in groundwater discharge area. "]]<br />
<br />
Truck drivers told me the cans were leaking when they arrived. The producers of this toxic soup knew how dangerous it was. That is why they were going way out in Lake County.<br />
<br />
If you had something that will kill someone is it okay to take it where it only kills a few people? <br />
<br />
What if it would cost you a million dollars or more to detoxify it and make it safe? <br />
<br />
What if you had the money but it would eat up your profits to make it safe?<br />
<br />
What if when you made the product from which this ''toxic bomb'' would be produced and you knew it could be made in a safer way but would make you less money?<br />
<br />
We have many local concerns about toxic dioxins from the production of Agent Orange. <br />
<br />
But law enforcement should have concerns about negligent homicide at the very least.<br />
<br />
You are looking at the smoking gun that has killed and maimed numerous Lake County residents. It should be very clear that there was a threat to life and limb and the public health. That there still is an ongoing threat and damage. Everyone should be outraged and want something done about it. <br />
<br />
What you are looking at is the work of a serial killer for profit.<br />
<br />
And at least one government agency has participated either through ignorance or negligence or just through seemingly justified bureaucratic convenience in covering up the evil truth now buried in Lake County but still doing damage.<br />
<br />
The barrels and toxins continue to rise out of the ground, poison the water and air with sometime invisible death that kills long after exposure and will keep on killing.<br />
<br />
[[File:cansrot.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
'''What happened and is happening at Alkali Lake?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The residue for that production produced by the company filling a government contract to produce Agent Orange for use in Vietnam was dumped at Alkali Lake including at least 25,000 barrels of this toxic poison and then the barrels crushed into the ground by the State of Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality and literally covered up. There are reports of barrels leaking when they arrived; truck drivers not permitted to get out of their trucks at the site; tanker trucks spraying toxic residues in shallow ditches and even spreading these oily toxic residues on the local airstrip to keep the dust down.<br />
<br />
There are also reports of high rates of cancers associated with TCDD, Birth defects in children as well as sick livestock, spontaneous abortions of livestock and even two headed calves...<br />
<br />
What is the truth?<br />
<br />
Who will tell it?<br />
<br />
And who will act upon the truth?<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:cansleak.jpg|right|thumb|Leaking toxins #1]]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Agent of Injury ==<br />
<br />
The corrosive and unstable nature of this method of disposal barrels was clearly negligence. It should be obvious that those who are responsible did this for reasons of expedience and economics. They simply had the barrels placed in a remote location with a callous disregard for the safety and health of those who were eventually exposed and possibly have suffered and even died.<br />
<br />
Local citizens are striving to discover the extent of the damage and compel the government and those responsible to clean up the problem and make amends for injuries caused by these negligent and egregious acts against common sense and the people who live there and even just past through the area.<Ref>Go to: Alkali Lake, ''Time Bomb''</Ref><br />
<br />
Some people would have you believe that every thing is okay. There is little population in the county and therefore little political clout. Maybe that is why that site was chosen? Who would oppose them? Who would stop them? And if harm was discovered and damage exposed, who could fight them?<br />
<br />
The problem with TCDD is that its affects are not immediate. TCDD is a Persistent Bioaccumulating Toxin [PBT] that has been related to cancer, diabetes and birth defects and many other health problems. Anyone exposed to these chemicals may develop problems years later. It is very difficult to tell how many have become ill or died because of the irresponsible abandonment of these chemicals.<br />
<br />
In an addendum to the Ninth Report on Carcinogens from the National Toxicology Program (NTP), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, also known as TCDD or dioxin, is listed as a "known carcinogen. "<br />
<br />
The local people who have been exposed do not have the resources to fight this problem. The thousands of Veterans and the nation of Vietnam have been fighting their exposure and subsequent problems for 30 years. But even our own American Veterans have been running into a stonewall when it comes to taking responsibility for the ongoing injuries and even deaths of veterans caused by exposure.<br />
<br />
On the Agent Orange Website, which is a member of the Vietnam Veteran Web Ring, states.<br />
<br />
* Can you sue the government or the chemical companies?<br />
: Evidently the answer is "No!"<br />
<br />
* Title 38 of the United States Code prohibits veterans from suing the government for injuries suffered while in the military. A class action suit was filed in behalf of veterans in 1979 against the chemical companies and settled out of court. The final funds in this legal action were distributed by 1992. Additional attempts to sue the manufacturers have been attempted, and have been prohibited by the courts. The most strongly fought of these legal battles, Ivy vs. Diamond Shamrock was supported in behalf of the plaintiff by attorney generals in all fifty states, the Supreme Court, however, refused to hear the arguments and that case ended in 1992. In the parlance of the court, the issue is "res judicata" or "the matter is settled".<Ref>Snipped from Frequently Asked Questions About Agent Orange at:Http://www.lewispublishing.com/faq.htm </Ref><br />
<br />
More and more information has been painfully slow in coming forward to the victims and survivors of this toxic nightmare. The damage may be irreversible. It appears that the health and well-being of innocent people have been set aside for profit and gain, convenience and settlement. Saving face may be more important to some than saving lives and stopping this type of negligent and even premeditated assault on people unaware of the danger.<br />
<br />
We would like to know and we are starting to find out just what happened at Alkali Lake and why. But what happened there is not as isolated as Alkali Lake. What happened is the callous disregard for the lives of others. The spirit of, "I am okay, who cares about anyone else" is all to much apart of thinking in the world today. It is not Christian... It is not what Christ taught.<br />
<br />
Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." [[John 13]]:34<br />
<br />
We encourage everyone to seek the truth, study to learn the facts and act so that what is righteous and loving may prevail for you and your brothers.<br />

There is little remedy once exposed but here are some thoughts<br />
Your Health and Dioxin (Agent Orange/Herbicide) Exposure by Gary D. Moore<br />
http://www.ultranet.com/~jkimball/BiologyPages/A/AgentOrange.html<br />
<br />
'''WHAT does all this mean?'''<br />
<br />
Toxins like those mentioned above can cause illness and death. They can remain in people and animals for years causing a variety of debilitating and lethal results including birth defects many years after exposure. The people who are harmed by this may never realize the cause and those who created this hazard may escape retribution.<br />
<br />
Was it the "The Perfect Crime"? We hope not.<br />
<br />
These toxins are not really apart of the silent spring of Rachel Carson. Much more is known today about the toxicity of what was dumped in Alkali Lake, but enough was known at that time that it was painfully obvious that it should not have been dumped there, left there and allowed to contaminate the lives of those unknowingly exposed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What can be done ==<br />
<br />
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2<br />
<br />
There are many things that can be done.<br />
<br />
Stop denying there is a problem by referring to it as herbicide contamination. The used barrels were not filled with Agent Orange. They were filled with the toxic byproduct of the sloppy manufacturing process which has been outlawed world wide. It was the irresponsible and intentional pursuit of inadequate and cheap disposal systems and reckless management of known toxins.<br />
<br />
There is an opportunity to do the right thing, the Christian thing and major companies like Bayer, who bought the original company, including their profits and liabilities, the DEQ who recklessly buddozed the cans spreading an already deadly situation, the United States Government who ordered the manufacture and did business with viciously irresponsible companies have and are all playing a part in this present disaster.<br />
<br />
So people gather and want solutions. [http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Talk:Alkali_Lake making a plan]<br />
<br />
See our [https://www.hisholychurch.org/news/letters/commentsalkalilake.pdf comments on the DEQ And Bayer Crop Science Consent Judgment.]<br />
<br />
=== Bio-degradation ===<br />
<br />
This disaster could be turned into an opportunity to not only change the course of the contamination but use it to turn around the problem of TCDD and similar contamination by finding a way to degrade these unnatural, man-made toxins and substances.<br />
<br />
There is a way, if there is a will to find it.<br />
<br />
There are numerous methods of biodegradation of dioxons if we will seek a solution.<Ref>https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=numerous+methods+of+biodegradation+of+dioxins&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart</Ref><br />
<br />
'''Biodegradation''' is the naturally-occurring breakdown of materials by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi or other biological activity. ... Essentially, composting is an accelerated biodegradation process due to optimized circumstances.<Ref>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradation</Ref><br />
<br />
"There are a variety of factors like pH, temperature, oxygen, nutrient availability etc., which can affect the rate of degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons studied the effect of temperature, salinity and oil concentration on biodegradation of crude oil, the biosurfactant activity and naphthalene degradation by a newly identified strain ''Bacillus cereus 28BN'' was investigated the metabolic capability of 15 bacterial isolates isolated from oil-contaminated site by using enrichment culture technique which were able to degrade aromatic and polyaromatic fractions." <br />
<Ref>http://www.ijpab.com/form/2014%20Volume%202,%20issue%203/IJPAB-2014-2-3-185-202.pdf</Ref><br />
<br />
<br />
More research into studies by the Japanese and by Olga Maltseva and Patrick Oriel concerning an Alkaline 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol-Degrading Enrichment Culture produced by DNA Fingerprinting Methods and Isolation of the Responsible Organism, Haloalkaliphilic Nocardioides especially Strain M6.<br />
<br />
It was found that "Prolonged cultivation of an enrichment culture followed by successive transfers resulted in a strong increase in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) degradation rate." http://aem.asm.org/cgi/reprint/63/11/4145.pdf<br />
<br />
Other studies show promise of relief: http://www.swwrc.wsu.edu/conference/Papers/Brent_Peyton2.pdf<br />

<br />
Settling with Bayer for $700000 is a ridiculous sum considering the damage, ongoing problems, clean up. Alkali is a great opportunity to discover a solution to this type of contamination all over the world.<br />
<br />
If Bayer has profits of 376 million euros (that would be $527,400,000 US Dollars) and it is really interested in the health of the people and curing headaches it would seem that they would be willing, even enthusiastic, to do something for the health of people, save lives, clean up the poisons left behind by the company they have purchased.<br />
<br />
And where are the Churches, where are the people, where is the love for one another both those near and far?<br />
<br />
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." Matthew 23:23<br />

The natural environment of member of the family is within the family which was the first institution of God. The industrial revolution removed the Fathers from the family much of the day. The educational revolution of government schools removed the children. The social revolution of government honoring the aged parents rather than their children and family removed the elderly. The financial revolution removed non-interest bearing money which forced the mothers from the home into the workplace. All together with the sexual revolution which perverted the natural use of our bodies to produce the family society itself is only a generation away from self destruct since society has always been born within the family.<br />

=== Why Homeschool? ===<br />
<br />
'''Benefits'''<br />
* Flexibility<br />
: Whether it's time, vacation, curriculum, or whatever, homeschooling offers a family the ability to make choices that are best for them.<br />
<br />
* Build Community <br />
: Homeschooling can bring families together with other like-minded families to share ideas, resources, and counsel. Homeschool co-ops are a great resource for meeting other homeschool families. When you homeschool and make an effort to find other homeschoolers, you'll find a valuable new circle of friends who, bringing their unique skill sets, are ready to help you succeed. <br />
<br />
* Learn New Skills<br />
<br />
* Taking Responsibility<br />
: Taking Responsibility for training/educating your children is part of loving your neighbor. The responsibility is yours...take it by the horns! When you rely on the State for your children's education, you're actually coveting/stealing from your neighbor through the agency of a government that is willing to use violence. If you doubt this, try not paying property taxes and see what happens. <br />
<br />
* Learn What You Didn't Learn The First Time<br />
<br />
* Customize the Learning Experience for YOUR Child<br />
: Education doesn't have to be one size fits all<br />
<br />
* Limit Indoctrination by the State<br />
: When YOU train YOUR children, you're not competing with the world as much as you are for their hearts and minds. If your children are spending 6 - 8 hours a day soaking up other peoples worldview, at some point you're going to have a problem.<br />

=== Why Homeschool? ===<br />
<br />
'''Benefits'''<br />
* Flexibility<br />
: Whether it's time, vacation, curriculum, or whatever, homeschooling offers a family the ability to make choices that are best for them.<br />
<br />
* Build Community <br />
: Homeschooling can bring families together with other like-minded families to share ideas, resources, and counsel. Homeschool co-ops are a great resource for meeting other homeschool families. When you homeschool and make an effort to find other homeschoolers, you'll find a valuable new circle of friends who, bringing their unique skill sets, are ready to help you succeed. <br />
<br />
* Learn New Skills<br />
<br />
* Taking Responsibility<br />
: Taking Responsibility for training/educating your children is part of loving your neighbor. The responsibility is yours...take it by the horns! When you rely on the State for your children's education, you're actually coveting/stealing from your neighbor through the agency of a government that is willing to use violence. If you doubt this, try not paying property taxes and see what happens. <br />
<br />
* Learn What You Didn't Learn The First Time<br />
<br />
* Customize the Learning Experience for YOUR Child<br />
: Education doesn't have to be one size fits all<br />
<br />
* Limit Indoctrination by the State<br />
: When YOU train YOUR children, you're not competing with the world as much as you are for their hearts and minds. If your children are spending 6 - 8 hours a day soaking up other peoples worldview, at some point you're going to have a problem.<br />

Our pre-ks are getting more Charlotte Mason & Montessori right now & will probably stay there awhile.<br />

: Just like the name says, homeschooling on a shoestring! No or low cost ways to educate your children at home....this link is actually more of the above as far as methods but the site has a lot more to explore...more below on free or low cost curriculum<br />
