<div>[[File:imperialMarcus_Aurelius.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Sacrific through the public [[Temples]] provided [[Welfare]] for the people but was a [[Snare]] of [[Covetous Practices]]. ]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_cult_%28ancient_Rome%29 The Imperial cult of ancient] Rome identified emperors and some members of their families with the divinely sanctioned authority of the Roman State.<br />
<br />
This idea is the same concept of the divine right of kings which gave men the right to literally decide good and evil as ''ruling judges'' and usurp the right of the individual members of society to decide [[Jury|fact and law]].<br />
<br />
Octavius became Augustus. His reforms transformed Rome's Republican system of government to a de facto monarchy. He maintained traditional Roman practices and ''Republican values'' in name only. <br />
<br />
As ''princeps'' or the president of Rome and commander in chief of the army and navy (later known as Emperor) he was expected to balance the interests of the Roman military, the Senate and people maintaining peace, security and prosperity throughout an ethnically diverse empire of states.<br />
<br />
In 30 BC, libation-offerings to the ''genius of Augustus'' became a duty at public banquets or festivals which were a part of the Roman [[Welfare|welfare]] system. From 12 BC, state oaths were [[Christian conflict|sworn by the genius of the living emperor]].<br />
<br />
These human [[Gods|gods]] and their [[Temples|temples]] had a function in [[Society|society]] and their [[Governments|governments]] that is commonly misunderstood because if we did it might change the [[World|world]] of [[Religion|religion]] and our understanding of the [[Kingdom of God]].<br />
<br />
Once you began to understand words like [[Apotheos]] which made Caesar and appointor of [[Gods|gods]] through out the empire then you will need to know who those [[Gods|gods]] are. Understanding that the Senators of Rome were the [[Fathers]] of the earth Jesus spoke of will also change individual views of the gospel. The role these [[Conscripted fathers]] played as the [[Pater Patriae]] and [[Patronus]] made them the [[Benefactors]] who exercised authority one over the other in a [[Welfare]] system that was a [[Snare]].<br />
<br />
This was at the root of the [[Christian conflict]] which made the people [[Merchandise]] and brought them back into [[Bondage]].<br />
<br />
So what is the deference between [[Religion]], [[Public religion]], [[Pure Religion]], [[False religion]] and a [[Cult]] which leads to [[Covetous Practices]] which curse your children.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Jesushair.jpg|link=Jesushair|350px|right|thumb|]]<br />
Some people object to Jesus being depicted in modern art work with long hair. The truth is that long hair amongst men was not common amongst the Jews. That does not mean that Jesus did not have long hair during the three years of his ministry before the Crucifixion.<br />
<br />
The long hair complained about in the side panel of this artist's rendition is possibly explained in Numbers 6:5 <br />
<br />
"All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow."<br />
<br />
Nazarite is the word meaning "to dedicate, consecrate, separate" Paul even says in 2 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," <br />
<br />
Paul said this when he asked "what agreement" would we have with idols. Idols are the things that men create to represent things, institutions or ideas.<br />
<br />
Paul goes on to say if ''we will do that, be separate.'' <br />
<br />
''Touch not and cleanse ourselves of "from all filthiness" that He "will be a Father unto you".'' <br />
<br />
Of course this is a reference to what Jesus said about calling no man on earth father and applying to God the Father in your prayers rather than the [http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/fatherabba.php fathers of the earth].<br />
<br />
Matthew 23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.<br />
<br />
What was happening amongst the people was their system of [http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/corban.php Corban] which they had signed up for was making the word of God to none effect.<br />
<br />
Mark 7:13 "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."<br />
<br />
The word tradition here is also translated ordinance and is defined as "giving up, giving over" even "the surrender of cities". <ref> 3862 paradosis 1) giving up, giving over 1a) the act of giving up1b) the surrender of cities</ref><br />
<br />
Herod had instituted a system of Corban that guaranteed social welfare through his government temples at Jerusalem and all over the Roman Empire. These temples were a source of benefaction to the people by funds collected from its civic members.<br />
<br />
Besides sewers, aqueducts, and many other civic projects there was a welfare fund that took care of needy and aged members in time of want.<br />
<br />
People had signed up for this with the ritual of Baptism and registration by the scribes. This membership entitled people to benefits but compelled offerings. The funds of Corban, which means sacrifice and is also translated treasury funded Herod's building projects.<br />
<br />
King Herod built more Temples to Roma and Augustus and city of Caesarea on a tiny, nearly deserted preexisting Phoenician foundation called Strato's tower.<br />
<br />
The temple at Jerusalem and its network of synagogues served a dual purpose. <br />
While the temple of Roma and Augustus were to house the Boule<ref>Boule (ancient Greece), plural boulai, an assembly forming part of city governments in Ancient Greece</ref> of the gentiles living in Judea also housed the effigies of the emperor and the goddess Roma. No such images would be found in the temple of Jerusalem. They instead housed copies of the Torah which was read from through out the network of synagogues.<br />
<br />
A ''bouleuterion'' was a building which housed the council of citizens (boule) in Ancient Greece. These temples were government buildings and managed social systems of welfare of the people. The manner in which these temples obtained and distributed the funds to operate divided them into two categories, those that compelled the offerings of the people according to the traditions or ordinances of their assemblies or rulers and those that were entirely dependent upon a network of ''free will offerings''.<br />
<br />
Rome and Judea had both at different times in their history. When the people are free the father of each house chooses to contribute to the social welfare of his neighbor through love of righteousness and chooses to give to a minister who does the best job. When a group or individual has the power to choose what will be given on behalf the fathers of every household that group or individual becomes the civil or ''Conscripted Fathers''<ref>Conscripti Patri</Ref><br />
<br />
The ''Law of Patronus'' makes the state the Father of the people.<br />
The sons of Herod the Great also sought the favor of the Roman Emperors. Phillip's own building project Caesarea Phillipi was the Caesarea Maritima of a new age or ''new deal'' where the people were guaranteed benefits by benefactors who exercised authority one over the other.People forced the contributions of their neighbor through the agency of the governments they created for themselves.<br />
<br />
Christians, followers of Christ, were ''not to touch'' these benefits that ''made the word of God to none effect'' but were to gather together in free congregations the supplied the same benefits through faith and hope by charity.<br />
<br />
It is all pretty simple stuff once you know who the [http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/fatherabba.php fathers of the earth] were and are.<ref> The Latin and Greek term for Father used as a title of respect for senators of Rome because they held the position of ''parens patriae'', fathers of the country. [Latin, Parent of the country.] A doctrine that grants the inherent power and authority of the state to protect persons who are legally unable to act on their own behalf.<br />
<br />
The parens patriae doctrine has its roots in English Common Law. In feudal times various obligations and powers, collectively referred to as the "royal prerogative," were reserved to the king. The king exercised these functions in his role of father of the country.<br />
<br />
In the United States, the parens patriae doctrine has had its greatest application in the treatment of children, mentally ill persons, and other individuals who are legally incompetent to manage their affairs. The state is the supreme guardian of all children within its jurisdiction, and state courts have the inherent power to intervene to protect the best interests of children whose welfare is jeopardized by controversies between parents. This inherent power is generally supplemented by legislative acts that define the scope of child protection in a state.<br />
<br />
The state, acting as parens patriae, can make decisions regarding mental health treatment on behalf of one who is mentally incompetent to make the decision on his or her own behalf, but the extent of the state's intrusion is limited to reasonable and necessary treatment.<br />
<br />
The doctrine of parens patriae has been expanded in the United States to permit the attorney general of a state to commence litigation for the benefit of state residents for federal antitrust violations (15 U.S.C.A. § 15c). This authority is intended to further the public trust, safeguard the general and economic welfare of a state's residents, protect residents from illegal practices, and assure that the benefits of federal law are not denied to the general population.<br />
<br />
States may also invoke parens patriae to protect interests such as the health, comfort, and welfare of the people, interstate Water Rights, and the general economy of the state. For a state to have standing to sue under the doctrine, it must be more than a nominal party without a real interest of its own and must articulate an interest apart from the interests of particular private parties.<br />
</Ref> Of course you would need to want to know who they were and unfortunately that might tip over some of the eschatology idols that men have made for themselves.<br />
<br />
'''So what does this have to do with Jesus' hair?''' <br />
<br />
There were lots of people trying to maintain a system of social welfare based on charity. They had lots of different traditions in their societies and did not become members of the new social welfare systems set up by [http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/baptismjura.php Herod's new deal Baptism]. <br />
<br />
{{#ev:youtube|jGU3WVjBXVY|320|right|5.23 min video about '''Baptism''' of Herod and John's politics.<br /><br />These two forms of social welfare explain the reason for Christian distinction and persecution.}}<br />
<br />
Most people do not know about the fact that Herod was baptizing people and registering them through the scribes with these temples. This ''new deal'' was changing society and many resisted.<br />
<br />
They saw these ideas as a source of decay in society and knew that they were a snare for the people.<ref>Psalms 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.<Br>Romans 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: </ref><br />
<br />
They saw these system as covetous by nature while others excused them and signed up only to discover a loss of individual freedom through the fathers of these systems that promised security.<ref>2 Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make [[Merchandise|merchandise]] of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."<Br>Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.</Ref><br />
<br />
Was Jesus a part of this movement away from compelled social welfare? Was He a part of a group that was doing something different?<br />
<br />
Some people think "Jesus was not a Nazarite. Jesus drank wine and raised the dead and approached them."<br />
<br />
They quote Matthew 2:23 "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."<br />
<br />
One of the problems with this is there is little to no evidence that Nazareth ever existed as a town at or before that time.<br />
<br />
Is there evidence that Jesus lived in a town called Nazareth?<br />
<br />
• Nazareth is not mentioned in the Old Testament.<br />
<br />
• The Talmud names 63 Galilean towns but no Nazareth there nor in early rabbinic literature.<br />
<br />
• St Paul mention Jesus 221 times but does not mention 'Nazareth'.<br />
<br />
• There seems to be no ancient historian or geographer who mentions Nazareth. <br />
<br />
• The 3rd century Church Father Origen lived at Caesarea some 30 miles from where Nazareth was supposed to be, knew the gospel but had no clear idea where Nazareth was.<br />
<br />
Nazareth seems to be first noted at the beginning of the 4th century as a real place. <br />
<br />
<br />
So if there was no city of Nazareth then what did the original authors mean?<br />
<br />
Yes we see Matthew saying Matthew 2:23 "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." But the word ''city'' is from the word ''Polis'' which may not mean a ''town'' as much as a ''jurisdiction''.<br />
<br />
The word politeia<ref> 4174 1) the administration of civil affairs 2) a state or commonwealth 3) citizenship, the rights of a citizen</ref> from polites<ref> 4177 a citizen </ref> which is from polis is translated freedom <ref>Acts 22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was [free] born.</ref>and commonwealth<ref>Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:</ref>.<br />
<br />
Was Jesus a member of a group operating ''separate'' from the ''constitutional order or system of government'' set up by Herod through His welfare system? Jesus did say his kingdom was not a part of the world '''world'''<Ref>The word that often appears as '''world''' in the Bible 2889 kosmos "an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government" </Ref>of Pontius Pilate.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{#ev:youtube|jUQlOGyf7to|320|right|4:01 min video about one of several Greek words translated into the word "world".<br /><br />Understanding what world Jesus is talking about tells us what we may be "in" but are not to be a part "of".}}<br />
<br />
The expression 'Jesus of Nazareth' is a translation of the original Greek 'Jesous o Nazoraios' which is actually saying 'Jesus the Nazarene'. <br />
<br />
Nazarene more likely comes from the Hebrew root of the name is NZR, nazir which is often translated NAZARITE meaning to dedicate, consecrate, separate.<br />
<br />
There is lots of reasons to believe that Jesus separated himself and appeared to be associated with ''Nazarite Essene'' teachings.<br />
<br />
Descriptions of groups with this title are given by the A fourth century church father known as Epiphanius ( 370 CE)speaks of ''Nazarite Essene''. <br />
<br />
The Encyclopaedia Britannica of 1911 stated definitely that the name Nazarenes specifically identified an obscure Jewish-Christian sect, existing at the time of Epiphanius.<br />
<br />
"…The Nazarene sect was before Christ" (Epiphanius, Panarion 29)<br />
<br />
"For this group did not name themselves after Christ or with Jesus’ own name, but “Nazarene.” All Christians were called Nazarene once, before the disciples began to be called “Christians” at Antioch… They were so-called followers of the apostles…they dedicate themselves to the law…However, everyone called the Christians Nazarenes as I said before." (Epiphanius, Panarion 29)<br />
<br />
The Nazarenes did not eat meat but made exception at Passover and at other times. They were fond of taking a vow of the Nazarite which was for a period of time or permanently. Even Paul took the vow at times and would not cut his hair during that period nor drink wine.<br />
<br />
The Nazarenes looked at the Bible and words differently and came to a different conclusion about much of that text. Today, modern Christians believe they have it all figured out. They want to deny that Christ was doing something very much different than what they do today at church.<br />
<br />
A Nazarite was not to go near a body of a dead person. Some like to quote Matthew 9:24-25 "He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and '''TOOK HER BY THE HAND''', and the maid arose."<br />
<br />
And then note the verse Numbers 6:6 "All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body."<br />
<br />
They completely miss Matthew 9:24 "He said unto them, '''Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.''' And they laughed him to scorn."<br />
<br />
She was dead but not dead in another sense. Entering the room where the dead body was which was a part of the vow of the Nazarite, the vow of separation/consecration,would seem to be a violation of the vow. <br />
<br />
Jesus was making it clear to them that the death God is talking about is not the death of the flesh but of the Spirit. He spoke about this numerous times.<ref>Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.<BR><br />
Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.</ref><br />
<br />
The same is true of wine. It may mean something different in different places. There are more than one word in the testaments that is translated wine. Many of the things we see as rituals have meanings that references something else.<br />
<br />
'''“When a symbol unmoors itself from what it symbolizes, it loses meaning. It becomes ineffective”''' Albert Einstein <br />
<br />
Modern religionists who try to privately interpret the Bible fall back on the letter to give them faith which is a form of idolatry but they often do not even know the meaning of ''religion'' as James used it. They worship the words rather than the spirit of the truth. <br />
<br />
When Luke 9:60 says "Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." Was Jesus talking about zombies actually burying the dead?<br />
<br />
The literalistic read of the Bible in the spirit may easily fool people because the letter killeth...<br />
<br />
So why was Jesus called the ''Nazarene''?<br />
<br />
The 2nd century gnostic Gospel of Philip [47] mentions:" The apostles that came before us called him Jesus Nazarene the Christ ...'Nazara' is the 'Truth'. Therefore 'Nazarene' is 'The One of the Truth' ..."<br />
<br />
The ''Nazarene'' (or Nazorean) was the name of an early Jewish sect of the Essenes that some historians associate with early Christians. The root of their name may have been the Hebrew noun 'netser' (netzor), meaning 'branch' which could in turn refer to the claim that Jesus was a "descendant of David." The plural of 'Netzor' becomes 'Netzoreem.' <br />
<br />
Paul from Tarsus does not mention Nazareth nor Nazarenes but is accused of being a Nazorean in Acts 24:5 "For we have found this man [a] pestilent [fellow], and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law."<br />
<br />
''They'' say Jesus was not a Nazarite because "Jesus drank wine" and Numbers 6:3 says "He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried."<br />
<br />
Since the vow was often temporary he could have drank wine for some times and not for others. We do see him saying that he would not drink for a period of time.<br />
<br />
Matthew 26:29 "But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."<br />
<br />
These same people miss entirely that Jesus does drink with them later so the kingdom was there and they were in it. Jesus said he would take the kingdom from the Pharisees and He took it from them because they misunderstood the Old Testament. They were not bearing fruit with their forced sacrifice so he took it from them and gave it to the apostles, appointing them that kingdom. But forbade them from exercising authority one over the other.<ref><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. But it shall not be so among you: " Matthew 20:25<br />
Mark 10:42<br />
</ref> <br />
<br />
Just as Jesus touched the ''dead who were not dead'' but asleep could Jesus have drank wine but did not drink "wine" in the sense that the original author meant? <br />
<br />
There are more than one word in the Hebrew text translated into ''wine'' and if you do not know the difference and the purpose of the ritual descriptions then you may easily miss the true meaning of the ritual as you depend on your private interpretation.<br />
<br />
There is a great deal of confusion and misinterpretation of what Jesus was doing and saying. <br />
<br />
That is understandable since most of the modern christian coreligionists have asked the Pharisees to tell them what the Old Testament meant. <br />
<br />
Flesh and blood study <ref>Matthew 16:17 "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." it is that revelation that is the rock that he builds on. <BR>1 Corinthians 15:50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."</ref>does not reveal the truth of the scripture which is why there are so many different interpretations and denominations.<br />
<br />
As long as people continue to worship their personal ideas about the Bible, their modern religionist ideas and private interpretations they will remain under a strong delusion about the real meaning of the ''Gospel of the kingdom''. <br />
<br />
That is why they seem to have more in common with the Pharisees and probably would not recognize Christ with short hair or long since most of them do the direct opposite of what Christ actually said. <br />
<br />
It really is irrelevant if Jesus had long hair or not. It is a distraction to argue the point when there is so much that people have already missed that is fundamental to living by faith.<br />
<br />
People still pray/apply to men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other in-spite of the fact that Jesus saying you are not to be that way. <br />
<br />
With such covetousness they curse their children to bondage as Peter warned. With every benefit they take they plunge their children further into debt.<br />
<br />
2 Peter 2:14 "Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:" <br />
<br />
People have become [[Merchandise|merchandise]], human resources as Peter also warned us: <br />
<br />
2 Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make [[Merchandise|merchandise]] of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." <br />
<br />
People strain at gnats and swallow a camel. They fail to tend to the ''weightier matters'' which Christ said we should have done.<br />
<br />
But many of the modern worshipers of religious beliefs will cling to their misinterpretation of Paul which Peter also warned about.<br />
<br />
<br />
2 Peter 3:15 "And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." <br />
<br />
We cover all this on [http://www.hisholychurch.org/ our website] and will be a good topic of one of our broadcasts.<br />

== The text of Numbers 6 of the KJV ==<br />
<br />
Numbers 6: 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,<br />
<br />
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:<br />
<br />
3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.<br />
<br />
4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.<br />
<br />
5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.<br />
<br />
6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.<br />
<br />
7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.<br />
<br />
8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.<br />
<br />
9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.<br />
<br />
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:<br />
<br />
11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.<br />
<br />
12 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.<br />
<br />
13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:<br />
<br />
14 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,<br />
<br />
15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.<br />
<br />
16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:<br />
<br />
17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.<br />
<br />
18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.<br />
<br />
19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:<br />
<br />
20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.<br />
<br />
21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.<br />

<hr />
<div>Custom and usage are what the bible calls "fruit". Customs and usage is evidence of where we put our "faith" (fidelity) and "worship" (allegiance). When the Christ said, "if you love me keep my commandments." (laws, precepts, ordinances, statutes, etc.) He was saying make your custom and usage my law, my ordinances, my precepts, make my way your way.<br />
<br />
Common law, or law common to a people, a society, a nation, state, country, is often defined as the long standing custom and usage of that people.<br />
<br />
When I look all around me at the people I live among what do you think their custom and usage reveals about which law makers, judges, mighty ones of authority (EL or Theos: "God/gods") the people truly love?<br />
<br />
Can people have two masters (lords)? Can people really serve two gods? Can people put one or more gods in front of, or in the place of, the God of creation, and still expect the God of creation to acknowledge them as "His sheep"? Or is that a violation of the first precept of God's Constitution called the "Ten Commandments"?<br />
<br />
How does someone change their custom and usage so their fruit reveals that they actually love a different master/lord and god/mighty one of authority, judge, law maker?<br />
<br />
Did colonial Americans change their custom and usage when they came to the American continent? Or did they keep the law of their English god/king, law maker, judge and sovereign master?<br />
<br />
If someone is naturalized as a citizen/national of a new civil country. For example, if a Croatian were to expatriate from the Croatian body politic, nation, state, country and legally apply for US nationality, citizenship as a US person, and they follow all the precepts and laws and ordinances and statutes of the United States during their naturalization process, which usually takes many years, seven, but could be reduced if they were to marry a US citizen/national/person, who would teach their foreign spouse the ways of Uncle Sam, would this former Croatian, and new American, US citizen, national, person, after taking their oath of allegiance, having walked through the whole naturalization process now being dead to the laws of Croatia, and born again to the laws of Uncle Sam? Would the former Croatian now be an American, and his custom and usage is now to follow the laws of his new god, new national father, new law giver, sovereign? And would his daily actions, what he prays (applies, or appeals) for to his father who art in D.C., be the fruit that bears testimony to who his god/father/master/lord now is, having died to the father and body politic of Croatia, resurrected and born again to a new father, a new body politic, being a member of a new body of Uncle Sam?<br />
<br />
So why do Americans run around claiming to be Christians when their common law, their custom and usage proves that they love Uncle Sam and keep his commandments?<br />
<br />
What does someone have to do, according to the Christ's constitution and laws to begin their substantive repentant journey to becoming born again in Christ as their god, lord and king?<br />

<hr />
<div>__NOTOC__<br />
There seems to be hesitation among the people on the email groups regarding the formation of Congregations of Record. Maybe that is because Congregations are not really formed. They are merely organic free will assemblies of Elders of families. Here are some tips toward simplifying the understanding of that process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== 1. Congregations are not complicated ====<br />
<br />
Any time people gather together it can be said that they congregate. They are in a congregation. The question is what is the common reason this assembly of people have chosen to come together to congregate or be in congregation? In other words what are they congregating around to do? Are they congregating to ride bicycles together? Are they congregating in a sewing circle? Are they gathering to play bridge, pinocle, or some other card game? Are they congregating to share a meal, like a dinner party? Are they congregating to watch the big game on TV? Are they congregating to help someone or another family in need, like painting a house or cleaning up after a terrible storm or fire? Are they congregating to hear someone speak? Are they members of a civil nation, registered to vote, and are assembling to cast their votes on their nation's election day? Are they congregating around a common custom and tradition like a festival or holiday gathering? Are they gathering because they shared some common experience, like war veterans, or widows and widowers, cancer survivors who gather together?<br />
<br />
A Congregation of Record is simply a gathering of Elders that share a common choice for “minister” (public servant). The Congregation of Record is an assembly of elders who are gathering around a "sacred purpose trust". The Elders common purpose for gathering together in a free will assembly or congregation is because they are all striving to repent and to seek the Kingdom of God at hand and His righteousness. Its a kingdom government gathering of Elders around their His Church office of service and trust. Like when voters freely choose to assemble at a city council meeting. Their His Church is the individual they all independently were led in their own hearts to "call out" as their family's minister servant, just like an elected official for a civil government office, like mayor, county attorney, state legislator, county treasurer, etc. If you're led to seek the kingdom of God then you will need to choose, elect, call out, by your charitable act of giving to Jesus the Christ, a minister trustee to administer the offerings according to the doctrines and ordinances of Jesus the Christ. If other Elders of families are led to make the same choice of who they elect to be their minister trustee, their "His Church" office of service and trust, now the Elders have a shared "sacred purpose" for choosing to freely assembly together. Not to play bridge, or ride bikes, or because they were veterans of foreign wars, or widowed, but because they all freely chose to repent and seek God's kingdom government and form of law as their government and form of law. All ministers also elect a minister to serve them and their family. Just like elected officials in civil governments also participate in elections. A minister cannot use what he was entrusted with by the Elders who elected him for his own or his family's benefit. If a minister or his family is in need then he seeks to get help from God's altar by talking to his elected minister. Isn't one of the big grips people have about their ministers in the civil governments of men that their elected ministers can vote themselves benefits from the public trust? Well in the kingdom a minister cannot really make those decisions for himself with what he has been entrusted to use for the Messiah's purposes. Which is as it should be. That temptation is just too tempting for most fallen men (male or female).<br />
<br />
==== 2. Distance is not critical ====<br />
<br />
How far away is the office of US government public servant that serves your area? In a similar way, your His Church minister may be quite a distance from where you live. We have numerous technologies we can use to connect as if we were in the same room. While it is true that additional opportunities avail themselves if we are “local”, if we start now with what we have, we can better prepare to “hit the ground running” as we discover others nearby willing to share our journey. Congregations will form and re-form as we reach more people who are closer together. Don’t let distance be a stumbling block to getting involved.<br />
<br />
==== 3. “Ministers” are not what you’ve been trained to think they are ====<br />
<br />
We are all familiar with how a “minister” looks and functions in the modern church. Remove that model from your mind. In a “His Church” Congregation, the “Minister” is simply who the families in congregation think might be the best capable of serving the needs of the congregation, and also being a communication point with the other congregations. He does not need to be the smartest person in the room, or the one who knows the most about the bible. He is not there to be a go-between between you and God. Think of a minister as someone who will take on the responsibility of making sure nobody in your congregation get left behind in a time of need. It is someone who can take the time to know the 2 – 10 families who have chosen him/her well enough to know when they need assistance and discern what kind of assistance will help the needy become strong again.<br />
<br />
It is worth stating again that minister is a position of service, not power. In the Kingdom, the ultimate position of power rests with the Elders (see below). The Elders determine the purpose, direction and flavor of the congregation. The minister is there only to aid with that task, to help keep the Elders connected, and to maintain communication with other congregations through their ministers.<br />
<br />
==== 4. “Elders” are natural ====<br />
<br />
Every family has an “Elder” – someone who is the decider or provider or even the eldest. “Elder” is a family office, and families may have different ways of determining who is the Elder. Today’s broken families can blur this concept quite a bit, but let’s say that we can find agreement among at least part of your family on who can be considered the “Elder”. The elder of your family would be the one who can make time to interact with the other families and the minister in congregation. Contrast that image to many of the modern churches who “elect” elders to sit on a board and handle the funds of the church. Now remove that from your mind. The “Elder” of your family presents offerings to be used by the minister as he is guided by the Holy Spirit for Christ’s purposes.<br />
<br />
==== 5. There is no need to abandon your current “church” ====<br />
<br />
Many fear that if they choose to freely assemble in a His Church Congregation that they will be choosing to leave the “church” they currently fellowship with. That is not the case. Assembling with others in a His Church Congregation is making known your choice to help your brothers in need by free will offerings so they will not need to pray to those who will provide assistance by forcing neighbors to contribute. It is turning around from the way men who lack faith have provided for the needy since Cain created his first city-state and instead pursuing a Godly inspired caring for our neighbor by free will offerings. It is a life direction. It is repentance. You may even become an example to follow for those in that “church” given eyes to see what you are doing.<br />
<br />
==== 6. Offerings are given entirely to the minister (burnt up) ====<br />
<br />
You choose your minister as someone you trust to best perform the wishes of Christ as guided by the Holy Spirit. As part of that “trust”, any offerings you make to him to accomplish that goal are given entirely. You give up all control of your offering trusting that the minister will use it as Christ would. You do not get to direct how those offerings are applied. It is casting your bread upon the water in hopes that they may return should you become the one in need some day. You may “suggest” to the minister your intent, but it is his to decide. This relationship allows you to retain your freedom in all other aspects of life besides what you have given as a gift.<br />
<br />
==== 7. Every day is “election day” in the kingdom ====<br />
<br />
The “check” or “balance” to the trust you place in your minister is that you, as an “Elder”, keep watch over how the resources given to him are used. If your minister begins to use offerings in a way you think is not led by the Holy Spirit, you should approach him for an explanation. In the case where a resolution cannot be arrived at, you have the option, and perhaps even the responsibility to choose another minister to give to. Just remember we’re all figuring this out and forgiveness will be necessary by all so that we may be forgiven.<br />
<br />
==== 8. Give as you are led by the Holy Spirit ====<br />
<br />
When we give to those we trust will make the best use of our offering, we create a flow of life for the body of Messiah. Without blood flow a body dies. Giving is proactive. We give to strengthen our society. We give to draw near to our heavenly Father. Giving exercises spiritual muscles that we may have neglected. Being thankful for the opportunity to give molds us into the cheerful givers spoken of in scripture.<br />
<br />
What I’m trying to convey by all this is not to be afraid of creating or becoming part of a Congregation of record. We learn by doing. We will make mistakes. That presents opportunity for forgiveness. As we work at this together, we will realize better and more effective ways to cooperate and strengthen our society. The more we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, the more opportunities will be presented to us. But none of this can become reality for you if you don’t take the first step. Nobody else can do that for you. There are ministers and elders willing to give you a hand up. Reach out to them. If you are unsure, ask – seek – knock. Serving an infinite God means an infinite journey. It’s time to take the next step – together.<br />
<br />
There are people all over the world looking to get started on the path back to our Father’s ways. Use these e-mail groups as a tool to find each other. That’s why you are hear after all. Right?<br />
<br />
<br />
== Current Kingdom Government Offices of Service and Trust that serve Congregations of Record ==<br />
<br />
Each one of these Kingdom of God government offices of "sacred trust" serve the Elders and their families that elected the minister, and the foreigners and strangers sojourning with them.<br />

<div>Religion literally means to re-bind.<br />
<br />
Rebind? What were we originally bound to?<br />
<br />
We are naturally bound as corporate members of our natural family.<br />
<br />
It is in our natural family that we learn how to love, give, forgive, rebuke, exhort, loose and bind by witness, testimony and doing and serving our family members in need.<br />
<br />
It is through the family that we learn to have empathy for all families. For we are all the same, there is nothing new under the sun. What one family has experienced, most families on earth, through all time have also experienced.<br />
<br />
So what is it that we are re-bound to? Our community, our nation. How do we do that? There are basically two ways to practice <i>religion</i>. Pure religion and impure religion. (Remember though that all men, male and female, have a natural right to change their nation, just as any man, male and female, are free to change families and be adopted or married into a different family. The United Nations' Universal Declaration on Human Rights at Article 15 preserves this natural right. The United States under Public Law, 15 United States Statutes at Large, Chapter 249, Pages 223-224 (1868) codified at Title 8 USC, Section 1481 also preserves this natural right for U.S. citizens/nationals. The Bible, God's law book, when it talks about repenting, dying, being born again and baptized is talking about this natural right. Legally speaking the civil nation-states call this process expatriation and naturalization. Expatriating in the Bible is talked about using terms like, repenting, or coming out of (ex), or dying to, one pater, father, patronus, parens patriae, state, nation, country, and being born again (alive to a new pater, father, patronus, parens patriae, state, nation, country) and baptized (naturalized over time to learn the laws and way of the new father in order to walk the new father's path according to his will, and character). In others words we are free to change our religion and our nation any time we are led to do so. But that doesn't mean that we immediately are released from all of our obligations to our old father, nation, state or country. We may still have to meet our tally of bricks for the old father. I believe that for US citizens that expatriate their old father, Uncle Sam, still expects his prodigal sons and daughters to pay tribute to him in the form of income taxes for ten years after being born again and baptized as a citizen of a new nation. As Paul states, "IF, you can be free..." IF. Don't run out and do something silly that will end up putting a millstone around your neck out of your covetous desire for illusion of some freedom you think you are being denied by others when its really you that freely walked into a jail cell of your own making. The door to that cell is only unlocked for the truly righteous, humble and virtuous soul seeking to walk in God's character or name.<br />
<br />
First we have to understand that our modern understanding of the word <i>religion</i> has changed in the minds of most men (male and female). Today most people think that religion is what someone thinks about an unseen deity. But that is not what the word really means. As we have seen <i>religion</i> literally means, <u>re-binding</u>.<br />
<br />
So what does this <i>re-binding,</i> actually look like in everyday action?<br />
<br />
Religion is how a community, a nation, a state, or country, a body politic, cares for the needy of their society and also how the nation, state or country helps its national neighbors with foreign aid.<br />
<br />
Examples of religion in the United States would be: Social Security, public schools, unemployment insurance, disability, medicare, medicaid, Obamacare, are just a few examples of the <i>religion</i> of the United States body politic, nation, states, country.<br />
<br />
So what makes a nation's, community's, society's <i>religion</i> pure or impure?<br />
<br />
The nature, name, character and spirit in which the <i>religion</i> of a people is provided. Do the people truly love their neighbor as much as they love themselves so they freely choose to fund their nation's religious programs, like Social Security, medicare and medicaid, by free will offerings freely given to the people's elected ministers, public servants, to administer the religious programs to the needy of the society? Or is the spirit, nature, name or character of the people of a nation selfish and covetous so they have to be compelled to pay a tax via consent, assent, application and participation in the nation's <i>religion</i> in order for the needy of society to be helped by the nation's elected and appointed ministers or public servants?<br />
<br />
The United States has an impure religion. Its social welfare programs are provided by covet means. U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. persons lack faith, lack virtue, honor, love, charity and humility, therefore, they need a ruling authority to compel them to pay tribute, taxes, "tithes", to fund the nation's religious programs for the needy, and if they do not pay, as per the agreements, contracts, and constitutions they are <i>re-bound</i> to their nation by, they will suffer a penalty, fines, fees and even being <i>stoned to death</i>, which is a biblical term that merely means a defendant is found guilty and has been sentence to exile, excommunication, banished for a while from the community, which is what we today call <i>prison</i>.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Heaven, aka the Kingdom of God, has a system of pure religion. In the kingdom the religion is financed by pure love, pure faith (fidelity), pure charity, pure honor, pure virtue, pure humility, by completely free will offerings by the members of the Christian nation called Israel. Israel means where God prevails. Which means where God's law, way, will and form of government prevails, a re-binding by pure love. <br />
<br />
So what is your <i>religion</i>? Do you practice pure <i>religion</i> or do you practice an impure <i>religion</i>? You'll know them by their fruit.</div>Liberty farms iowahttp://preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_few_words_about_the_word_RELIGION&diff=14149A few words about the word RELIGION2015-05-20T12:21:38Z<p>Liberty farms iowa: </p>

U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. persons lack faith, lack virtue, honor, love, charity and humility, therefore, they need a ruling authority to compel them to pay tribute, taxes, "tithes", to fund the nation's religious programs for the needy, and if they do not pay, as per the agreements, contracts, and constitutions they are <i>re-bound</i> to their nation by, they will suffer a penalty, fines, fees and even being <i>stoned to death</i>, which is a biblical term that merely means a defendant is found guilty and has been sentence to exile, excommunication, banished for a while from the community, which is what we today call <i>prison</i>.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Heaven, aka the Kingdom of God, has a system of pure religion. In the kingdom the religion is financed by pure love, pure faith (fidelity), pure charity, pure honor, pure virtue, pure humility, by completely free will offerings by the members of the Christian nation called Israel. Israel means where God prevails. Which means where God's law, way, will and form of government prevails, a re-binding by pure love. <br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Religion literally means to re-bind.<br />
<br />
Rebind? What were we originally bound to?<br />
<br />
We are naturally bound as corporate members of our natural family.<br />
<br />
It is in our natural family that we learn how to love, give, forgive, rebuke, exhort, loose and bind by witness, testimony and doing and serving our family members in need.<br />
<br />
It is through the family that we learn to have empathy for all families. For we are all the same, there is nothing new under the sun. What one family has experienced, most families on earth, through all time have also experienced.<br />
<br />
So what is it that we are re-bound to? Our community, our nation. How do we do that? There are basically two ways to practice <i>religion</i>. Pure religion and impure religion.<br />
<br />
First we have to understand that our modern understanding of the word <i>religion</i> has changed in the minds of most men (male and female). Today most people think that religion is what someone thinks about an unseen deity. But that is not what the word really means. As we have seen <i>religion</i> literally means, <u>re-binding</u>.<br />
<br />
So what does this <i>re-binding,</i> actually look like in everyday action?<br />
<br />
Religion is how a community, a nation, a state, or country, a body politic, cares for the needy of their society and also how the nation, state or country helps its national neighbors with foreign aid.<br />
<br />
Examples of religion in the United States would be: Social Security, public schools, unemployment insurance, disability, medicare, medicaid, Obamacare, are just a few examples of the <i>religion</i> of the United States body politic, nation, states, country.<br />
<br />
So what makes a nation's, community's, society's <i>religion</i> pure or impure?<br />
<br />
The nature, name, character and spirit in which the <i>religion</i> of a people is provided. Do the people truly love their neighbor as much as they love themselves so they freely choose to fund their nation's religious programs, like Social Security, medicare and medicaid, by free will offerings freely given to the people's elected ministers, public servants, to administer the religious programs to the needy of the society? Or is the spirit, nature, name or character of the people of a nation selfish and covetous so they have to be compelled to pay a tax via consent, assent, application and participation in the nation's <i>religion</i> in order for the needy of society to be helped by the nation's elected and appointed ministers or public servants?<br />
<br />
The United States has an impure religion. Its social welfare programs are provided by covet means. U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. persons lack faith, lack virtue, honor, love, charity and humility, therefore, they need a ruling authority to compel them to pay tribute, taxes, "tithes", to fund the nation's religious programs for the needy, and if they do not pay, as per the agreements, contracts, and constitutions they are <i>re-bound</i> to their nation by, they will suffer a penalty, fines, fees and even being <i>stoned to death</i>, which is a biblical term that merely means a defendant is found guilty and has been sentence to exile, excommunication, banished for a while from the community, which is what we today call <i>prison</i>.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Heaven, aka the Kingdom of God, has a system of pure religion. In the kingdom the religion is financed by pure love, pure faith (fidelity), pure charity, pure honor, pure virtue, pure humility, by completely free will offerings by the members of the Christian nation called Israel.

<hr />
<div>__NOTOC__<br />
There seems to be hesitation among the people on the email groups regarding the formation of Congregations of Record. Maybe that is because Congregations are not really formed. They are merely organic free will assemblies of Elders of families. Here are some tips toward simplifying the understanding of that process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== 1. Congregations are not complicated ====<br />
<br />
Any time people gather together it can be said that they congregate. They are in a congregation. The question is what is the common reason this assembly of people have chosen to come together to congregate or be in congregation? In other words what are they congregating around to do? Are they congregating to ride bicycles together? Are they congregating in a sewing circle? Are they gathering to play bridge, pinocle, or some other card game? Are they congregating to share a meal, like a dinner party? Are they congregating to watch the big game on TV? Are they congregating to help someone or another family in need, like painting a house or cleaning up after a terrible storm or fire? Are they congregating to hear someone speak? Are they members of a civil nation, registered to vote, and are assembling to cast their votes on their nation's election day? Are they congregating around a common custom and tradition like a festival or holiday gathering? Are they gathering because they shared some common experience, like war veterans, or widows and widowers, cancer survivors who gather together?<br />
<br />
A Congregation of Record is simply a gathering of Elders that share a common choice for “minister” (public servant). The Congregation of Record is an assembly of elders who are gathering around a "sacred purpose trust". Their common purpose of repenting and seeking the Kingdom of God at hand and His righteousness. Its a kingdom government gathering of Elders around their His Church office of service and trust. Their His Church is the individual they all independently were led in their own hearts to "call out" as their family's minister servant. If you're led to seek the kingdom of God then you will need to choose, elect, call out, by your charitable act of giving to Jesus the Christ, a minister trustee to administer the offerings according to the doctrines and ordinances of Jesus the Christ. If other Elders of families are led to make the same choice of who they elect to be their minister trustee, their "His Church" office of service and trust, now the Elders have a shared "sacred purpose" for choosing to freely assembly together. Not to play bridge, or ride bikes, or because they were veterans of foreign wars, or widowed, but because they all freely chose to repent and seek God's kingdom government and form of law as their government and form of law.<br />
<br />
==== 2. Distance is not critical ====<br />
<br />
How far away is the office of US government public servant that serves your area? In a similar way, your His Church minister may be quite a distance from where you live. We have numerous technologies we can use to connect as if we were in the same room. While it is true that additional opportunities avail themselves if we are “local”, if we start now with what we have, we can better prepare to “hit the ground running” as we discover others nearby willing to share our journey. Congregations will form and re-form as we reach more people who are closer together. Don’t let distance be a stumbling block to getting involved.<br />
<br />
==== 3. “Ministers” are not what you’ve been trained to think they are ====<br />
<br />
We are all familiar with how a “minister” looks and functions in the modern church. Remove that model from your mind. In a “His Church” Congregation, the “Minister” is simply who the families in congregation think might be the best capable of serving the needs of the congregation, and also being a communication point with the other congregations. He does not need to be the smartest person in the room, or the one who knows the most about the bible. He is not there to be a go-between between you and God. Think of a minister as someone who will take on the responsibility of making sure nobody in your congregation get left behind in a time of need. It is someone who can take the time to know the 2 – 10 families who have chosen him/her well enough to know when they need assistance and discern what kind of assistance will help the needy become strong again.<br />
<br />
It is worth stating again that minister is a position of service, not power. In the Kingdom, the ultimate position of power rests with the Elders (see below). The Elders determine the purpose, direction and flavor of the congregation. The minister is there only to aid with that task, to help keep the Elders connected, and to maintain communication with other congregations through their ministers.<br />
<br />
==== 4. “Elders” are natural ====<br />
<br />
Every family has an “Elder” – someone who is the decider or provider or even the eldest. “Elder” is a family office, and families may have different ways of determining who is the Elder. Today’s broken families can blur this concept quite a bit, but let’s say that we can find agreement among at least part of your family on who can be considered the “Elder”. The elder of your family would be the one who can make time to interact with the other families and the minister in congregation. Contrast that image to many of the modern churches who “elect” elders to sit on a board and handle the funds of the church. Now remove that from your mind. The “Elder” of your family presents offerings to be used by the minister as he is guided by the Holy Spirit for Christ’s purposes.<br />
<br />
==== 5. There is no need to abandon your current “church” ====<br />
<br />
Many fear that if they choose to freely assemble in a His Church Congregation that they will be choosing to leave the “church” they currently fellowship with. That is not the case. Assembling with others in a His Church Congregation is making known your choice to help your brothers in need by free will offerings so they will not need to pray to those who will provide assistance by forcing neighbors to contribute. It is turning around from the way men who lack faith have provided for the needy since Cain created his first city-state and instead pursuing a Godly inspired caring for our neighbor by free will offerings. It is a life direction. It is repentance. You may even become an example to follow for those in that “church” given eyes to see what you are doing.<br />
<br />
==== 6. Offerings are given entirely to the minister (burnt up) ====<br />
<br />
You choose your minister as someone you trust to best perform the wishes of Christ as guided by the Holy Spirit. As part of that “trust”, any offerings you make to him to accomplish that goal are given entirely. You give up all control of your offering trusting that the minister will use it as Christ would. You do not get to direct how those offerings are applied. It is casting your bread upon the water in hopes that they may return should you become the one in need some day. You may “suggest” to the minister your intent, but it is his to decide. This relationship allows you to retain your freedom in all other aspects of life besides what you have given as a gift.<br />
<br />
==== 7. Every day is “election day” in the kingdom ====<br />
<br />
The “check” or “balance” to the trust you place in your minister is that you, as an “Elder”, keep watch over how the resources given to him are used. If your minister begins to use offerings in a way you think is not led by the Holy Spirit, you should approach him for an explanation. In the case where a resolution cannot be arrived at, you have the option, and perhaps even the responsibility to choose another minister to give to. Just remember we’re all figuring this out and forgiveness will be necessary by all so that we may be forgiven.<br />
<br />
==== 8. Give as you are led by the Holy Spirit ====<br />
<br />
When we give to those we trust will make the best use of our offering, we create a flow of life for the body of Messiah. Without blood flow a body dies. Giving is proactive. We give to strengthen our society. We give to draw near to our heavenly Father. Giving exercises spiritual muscles that we may have neglected. Being thankful for the opportunity to give molds us into the cheerful givers spoken of in scripture.<br />
<br />
What I’m trying to convey by all this is not to be afraid of creating or becoming part of a Congregation of record. We learn by doing. We will make mistakes. That presents opportunity for forgiveness. As we work at this together, we will realize better and more effective ways to cooperate and strengthen our society. The more we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, the more opportunities will be presented to us. But none of this can become reality for you if you don’t take the first step. Nobody else can do that for you. There are ministers and elders willing to give you a hand up. Reach out to them. If you are unsure, ask – seek – knock. Serving an infinite God means an infinite journey. It’s time to take the next step – together.<br />
<br />
There are people all over the world looking to get started on the path back to our Father’s ways. Use these e-mail groups as a tool to find each other. That’s why you are hear after all. Right?<br />

It is someone who can take the time to know the 2 – 10 families who have chosen him/her well enough to know when they need assistance and discern what kind of assistance will help the needy become strong again.<br />
<br />
It is worth stating again that minister is a position of service, not power. In the Kingdom, the ultimate position of power rests with the Elders (see below). The Elders determine the purpose, direction and flavor of the congregation. The minister is there only to aid with that task, to help keep the Elders connected, and to maintain communication with other congregations through their ministers.<br />
<br />
==== 4. “Elders” are natural ====<br />
<br />
Every family has an “Elder” – someone who is the decider or provider or even the eldest. “Elder” is a family office, and families may have different ways of determining who is the Elder. Today’s broken families can blur this concept quite a bit, but let’s say that we can find agreement among at least part of your family on who can be considered the “Elder”. The elder of your family would be the one who can make time to interact with the other families and the minister in congregation. Contrast that image to many of the modern churches who “elect” elders to sit on a board and handle the funds of the church. Now remove that from your mind. The “Elder” of your family presents offerings to be used by the minister as he is guided by the Holy Spirit for Christ’s purposes.<br />
<br />
==== 5. There is no need to abandon your current “church” ====<br />
<br />
Many fear that if they choose to freely assemble in a His Church Congregation that they will be choosing to leave the “church” they currently fellowship with. That is not the case. Assembling with others in a His Church Congregation is making known your choice to help your brothers in need by free will offerings so they will not need to pray to those who will provide assistance by forcing neighbors to contribute. It is turning around from the way men who lack faith have provided for the needy since Cain created his first city-state and instead pursuing a Godly inspired caring for our neighbor by free will offerings. It is a life direction. It is repentance. You may even become an example to follow for those in that “church” given eyes to see what you are doing.<br />
<br />
==== 6. Offerings are given entirely to the minister (burnt up) ====<br />
<br />
You choose your minister as someone you trust to best perform the wishes of Christ as guided by the Holy Spirit. As part of that “trust”, any offerings you make to him to accomplish that goal are given entirely. You give up all control of your offering trusting that the minister will use it as Christ would. You do not get to direct how those offerings are applied. It is casting your bread upon the water in hopes that they may return should you become the one in need some day. You may “suggest” to the minister your intent, but it is his to decide. This relationship allows you to retain your freedom in all other aspects of life besides what you have given as a gift.<br />
<br />
==== 7. Every day is “election day” in the kingdom ====<br />
<br />
The “check” or “balance” to the trust you place in your minister is that you, as an “Elder”, keep watch over how the resources given to him are used. If your minister begins to use offerings in a way you think is not led by the Holy Spirit, you should approach him for an explanation. In the case where a resolution cannot be arrived at, you have the option, and perhaps even the responsibility to choose another minister to give to. Just remember we’re all figuring this out and forgiveness will be necessary by all so that we may be forgiven.<br />
<br />
==== 8. Give as you are led by the Holy Spirit ====<br />
<br />
When we give to those we trust will make the best use of our offering, we create a flow of life for the body of Messiah. Without blood flow a body dies. Giving is proactive. We give to strengthen our society. We give to draw near to our heavenly Father. Giving exercises spiritual muscles that we may have neglected. Being thankful for the opportunity to give molds us into the cheerful givers spoken of in scripture.<br />
<br />
What I’m trying to convey by all this is not to be afraid of creating or becoming part of a Congregation of record. We learn by doing. We will make mistakes. That presents opportunity for forgiveness. As we work at this together, we will realize better and more effective ways to cooperate and strengthen our society. The more we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, the more opportunities will be presented to us. But none of this can become reality for you if you don’t take the first step. Nobody else can do that for you. There are ministers and elders willing to give you a hand up. Reach out to them. If you are unsure, ask – seek – knock. Serving an infinite God means an infinite journey. It’s time to take the next step – together.<br />
<br />
There are people all over the world looking to get started on the path back to our Father’s ways. Use these e-mail groups as a tool to find each other. That’s why you are hear after all. Right?<br />

There seems to be hesitation among the people on the email groups regarding the formation of Congregations of Record. Maybe that is because Congregations are not really formed. They are merely organic free will assemblies of Elders of families. Here are some tips toward simplifying the understanding of that process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== 1. Congregations are not complicated ====<br />
<br />
Any time people gather together it can be said that they congregate. They are in a congregation. The question is what is the common reason this assembly of people have chosen to come together to congregate or be in congregation? In other words what are they congregating around to do? Are they congregating to ride bicycles together? Are they congregating in a sewing circle? Are they gathering to play bridge, pinocle, or some other card game? Are they congregating to share a meal, like a dinner party? Are they congregating to watch the big game on TV? Are they congregating to help someone or another family in need, like painting a house or cleaning up after a terrible storm or fire? Are they congregating to hear someone speak? Are they assembling to cast their votes on election day? Are they congregating around a common custom and tradition like a festival or holiday gathering? Are they gathering because they shared some common experience, like war veterans, or widows and widowers, cancer survivors who gather together?<br />
<br />
A Congregation of Record is simply a gathering of Elders that have a common choice for “minister” (public servant). The Congregation of Record is an assembly of elders who are gathering around a "sacred purpose trust". Their common purpose of repenting and seeking the Kingdom of God at hand and His righteousness. Its a kingdom government gathering of Elders around their His Church office of service and trust. Their His Church is the individual they all independently were led in their own hearts to "call out" as their family's minister servant. If you're led to seek the kingdom of God then you will need to choose, elect, call out, by your charitable act of giving to Jesus the Christ, a minister trustee to administer the offerings according to the doctrines and ordinances of Jesus the Christ. If other Elders of families are led to make the same choice of who they elect to be their minister trustee, their "His Church" office of service and trust, now the Elders have a shared "sacred purpose" for choosing to freely assembly together. Not to play bridge, or ride bikes, or because they were veterans of foreign wars, or widowed, but because they all freely chose to repent and seek God's kingdom government and form of law as their government and form of law.<br />
<br />
==== 2. Distance is not critical ====<br />
<br />
How far away is the office of US government public servant that serves your area? In a similar way, your His Church minister may be quite a distance from where you live. We have numerous technologies we can use to connect as if we were in the same room. While it is true that additional opportunities avail themselves if we are “local”, if we start now with what we have, we can better prepare to “hit the ground running” as we discover others nearby willing to share our journey. Congregations will form and re-form as we reach more people who are closer together. Don’t let distance be a stumbling block to getting involved.<br />
<br />
==== 3. “Ministers” are not what you’ve been trained to think they are ====<br />
<br />
We are all familiar with how a “minister” looks and functions in the modern church. Remove that model from your mind. In a “His Church” Congregation, the “Minister” is simply who the families in congregation think might be the best capable of serving the needs of the congregation, and also being a communication point with the other congregations. He does not need to be the smartest person in the room, or the one who knows the most about the bible. He is not there to be a go-between between you and God. Think of a minister as someone who will take on the responsibility of making sure nobody in your congregation get left behind in a time of need.

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
There seems to be hesitation among the people on the email groups regarding the formation of Congregations of Record. Here are some tips toward simplifying the understanding of that process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== 1. Congregations are not complicated ====<br />
<br />
Forming a Congregation of Record is simply the choice of a common “minister” (public servant) by 2 – 10 elders of families. If you and one other recognize the “minister” nature of another individual, discuss it among the three of you and see if this is a starting point of a Congregation. See if you can find enough common ground to decide to repeatedly come together to help each other and other congregations like yours.<br />
<br />
==== 2. Distance is not critical ====<br />
<br />
How far away is the office of US government public servant that serves your area? In a similar way, your His Church minister may be quite a distance from where you live. We have numerous technologies we can use to connect as if we were in the same room. While it is true that additional opportunities avail themselves if we are “local”, if we start now with what we have, we can better prepare to “hit the ground running” as we discover others nearby willing to share our journey. Congregations will form and re-form as we reach more people who are closer together. Don’t let distance be a stumbling block to getting involved.<br />
<br />
==== 3. “Ministers” are not what you’ve been trained to think they are ====<br />
<br />
We are all familiar with how a “minister” looks and functions in the modern church. Remove that model from your mind. In a “His Church” Congregation, the “Minister” is simply who the families in congregation think might be the best capable of serving the needs of the congregation, and also being a communication point with the other congregations. He does not need to be the smartest person in the room, or the one who knows the most about the bible. He is not there to be a go-between between you and God. Think of a minister as someone who will take on the responsibility of making sure nobody in your congregation get left behind in a time of need. It is someone who can take the time to know the 2 – 10 families who have chosen him/her well enough to know when they need assistance and discern what kind of assistance will help the needy become strong again.<br />
<br />
It is worth stating again that minister is a position of service, not power. In the Kingdom, the ultimate position of power rests with the Elders (see below). The Elders determine the purpose, direction and flavor of the congregation. The minister is there only to aid with that task, to help keep the Elders connected, and to maintain communication with other congregations through their ministers.<br />
<br />
==== 4. “Elders” are natural ====<br />
<br />
Every family has an “Elder” – someone who is the decider or provider or even the eldest. “Elder” is a family office, and families may have different ways of determining who is the Elder. Today’s broken families can blur this concept quite a bit, but let’s say that we can find agreement among at least part of your family on who can be considered the “Elder”. The elder of your family would be the one who can make time to interact with the other families and the minister in congregation. Contrast that image to many of the modern churches who “elect” elders to sit on a board and handle the funds of the church. Now remove that from your mind. The “Elder” of your family presents offerings to be used by the minister as he is guided by the Holy Spirit for Christ’s purposes.<br />
<br />
==== 5. There is no need to abandon your current “church” ====<br />
<br />
Many fear that if they choose to freely assemble in a His Church Congregation that they will be choosing to leave the “church” they currently fellowship with. That is not the case. Assembling with others in a His Church Congregation is making known your choice to help your brothers in need by free will offerings so they will not need to pray to those who will provide assistance by forcing neighbors to contribute. It is turning around from the way men who lack faith have provided for the needy since Cain created his first city-state and instead pursuing a Godly inspired caring for our neighbor by free will offerings. It is a life direction. It is repentance. You may even become an example to follow for those in that “church” given eyes to see what you are doing.<br />
<br />
==== 6. Offerings are given entirely to the minister (burnt up) ====<br />
<br />
You choose your minister as someone you trust to best perform the wishes of Christ as guided by the Holy Spirit. As part of that “trust”, any offerings you make to him to accomplish that goal are given entirely. You give up all control of your offering trusting that the minister will use it as Christ would. You do not get to direct how those offerings are applied. It is casting your bread upon the water in hopes that they may return should you become the one in need some day. You may “suggest” to the minister your intent, but it is his to decide. This relationship allows you to retain your freedom in all other aspects of life besides what you have given as a gift.<br />
<br />
==== 7. Every day is “election day” in the kingdom ====<br />
<br />
The “check” or “balance” to the trust you place in your minister is that you, as an “Elder”, keep watch over how the resources given to him are used. If your minister begins to use offerings in a way you think is not led by the Holy Spirit, you should approach him for an explanation. In the case where a resolution cannot be arrived at, you have the option, and perhaps even the responsibility to choose another minister to give to. Just remember we’re all figuring this out and forgiveness will be necessary by all so that we may be forgiven.<br />
<br />
==== 8. Give as you are led by the Holy Spirit ====<br />
<br />
When we give to those we trust will make the best use of our offering, we create a flow of life for the body of Messiah. Without blood flow a body dies. Giving is proactive. We give to strengthen our society. We give to draw near to our heavenly Father. Giving exercises spiritual muscles that we may have neglected. Being thankful for the opportunity to give molds us into the cheerful givers spoken of in scripture.<br />
<br />
What I’m trying to convey by all this is not to be afraid of creating or becoming part of a Congregation of record. We learn by doing. We will make mistakes. That presents opportunity for forgiveness. As we work at this together, we will realize better and more effective ways to cooperate and strengthen our society. The more we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, the more opportunities will be presented to us. But none of this can become reality for you if you don’t take the first step. Nobody else can do that for you. There are ministers and elders willing to give you a hand up. Reach out to them. If you are unsure, ask – seek – knock. Serving an infinite God means an infinite journey. It’s time to take the next step – together.<br />
<br />
There are people all over the world looking to get started on the path back to our Father’s ways. Use these e-mail groups as a tool to find each other. That’s why you are hear after all. Right?<br />

<div>Black's Law Dictionary defines <b>"Church. In its most general sense, the religious <u>society</u> founded and established by Jesus the Christ to receive, preserve and propagate His doctrines and <u>ordinances</u>. It may also mean a body of communicants gathered into church order; <u>body</u> or <u>community</u> of Christians, united under one form of <u>government</u> by the profession of the same faith and the observance of the ritual and ceremonies; place where person regularly assemble for worship; congregation; organization for religious purposes; religious society or body; the clergy or officialdom of a religious body."</b><br />
<br />
'''What is a "society"?'''<br />
<br />
"Society. An association or company of persons (usually unincorporated) united together by mutual consent, in order to deliberate, determine, and act jointly for some common purpose. In a wider sense, the <u>community</U> or public; the people in general..." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "community"?'''<br />
<br />
"Community. Neighborhood; vicinity; synonymous with locality. People who reside in a locality in more or less proximity. A <i>society or body of people</i> living in the same place, under the same laws and regulations, who have common rights, privileges, or interests. It connotes a congeries of common interests arising from associations - social, business, religious, governmental, scholastic, recreational." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is an "ordinance"?'''<br />
<br />
"Ordinance. A rule established by authority; a permanent rule of action; a law or statute. In its most common meaning, the term is used to designate the enactments of a legislative body or a municipal corporation. An ordinance is the equivalent of a municipal statute, passed by the city council, or equivalent body, and governing matters not already covered by federal or state law...The name has also been given to certain enactments, more general in their character than ordinary statutes, and serving as organic laws, yet not exactly to be called "constitutions". Such was the "Ordinance for the government of the North-West Territory" enacted by Congress in 1787." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "government"?'''<br />
<br />
"Government. From the Latin <i>gubernaculum</i>. Signifies the instrument, the helm, whereby the ship to which the <u>state</u> was compared, was guided on its course by the "gubernator" or helmsman, and in that view, the government is but an agency of the state, distinguished as it must be in accurate thought from its scheme and machinery of government...The system of polity in a state; that form of fundamental rules and principles by which individual members of a <u>body politic</u> are to regulate their social actions.

The whole class or body of office holders or functionaries considered in teh aggregate, upon whom devolves the executive, judicial, legislative, and administrative business of the state..." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "state"?'''<br />
<br />
"State. A people permanently occupying a fixed territory bound together by common law habits and custom into one <u>body politic</u> exercising, through the medium of organized "government", independent "sovereignty" and control over all persons and things within its boundaries, capable of making war and peace and of entering into international relations with other "communities" of the globe...The organization of social life which exercises "sovereign" power in behalf of the people. <u><i>In its largest sense, a "state" is a "body politic" or a "society" of men.</i></u> A body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one "government". Term may refer either to "body politic" of a "nation" or to an individual "government" unit of such "nation". Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "nation"?'''<br />
<br />
"Nation. A people, or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural "society", usually inhabiting a distinct portion of the earth, speaking the same language, using the same customs, possessing historic continuity, and distinguished from other like groups by their racial origins and characteristics, and generally, but not necessarily, living under the same "government" and "sovereignty"." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "body politic"?'''<br />
<br />
"Body Politic or corporate. A social compact by which the whole people covenants with each citizen, and each citizen with the whole people, that all shall be governed by certain laws for the common good. Also a term applied to a municipal corporation, school district, county, city. "State" or "nation" or public associations." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "sovereign"?'''<br />
<br />
"Sovereign. A person, body, or "state" in which independent and supreme authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power." "Sovereign power or sovereign prerogative. That power in a "state" to which none other is superior or equal, and which includes all the specific powers necessary to accomplish the legitimate ends and purposes of government." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a country?'''<br />
<br />
"Country. The territory occupied by an independent "nation" or people, or the inhabitants of such territory. <u><i>In the primary meaning "country" denotes the population, the "nation", the "state", or the "government", having possession and dominion over a territory."</i></u> Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
<br />
So are "Christians" an independent "nation", "state", "country", "society", "body politic" inhabiting a distinct territory, the whole earth, since the Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven, Christ's kingdom has a geographical jurisidiction everywhere on earth under the heaven, or vaulted expanse of the sky, wherever two or three of His people, His sheep, are gathered in His name (name meaning His character, nature, spirit), with an independent form of "government" called "His Church", sharing the same customs, law, ritual and ceremonies, possessing a historic continuity going back to Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, etc.? Does this explain how true Christians can be "in the world but not of the world"? Because the Christian "territory" they inhabit is any where on earth under the heavens, so Christians will be found among the pagan gentiles, members of other countries (pagun) and nations (gentiles), but Christians are not members of those "body politics or corporates", they are not members of those "nations", "states", "countries", "governments". True Christians as a peculiar people, a salty nation, that ministers to all nations of the earth, have "died, been born again and baptized into the kingdom", or in worldly legalese, "expatriated from one nation, and been naturalized into a different nation".<br />
<br />
What happens to a "church" if it attorns toward a new "sovereign"? Asking a new "sovereign power" to reincorporate it under the new sovereign's laws? What happens to the original incorporation, foundation and establishment of the "body" calling itself a "church"? <br />
<br />
If any other "Sovereign", besides Jesus the Christ, aka, Yahushua ha Mashiach, establishes and founds a so-called "church" is it really Jesus' religious society that He founded and established to receive, preserve and propagate His teachings (doctrines) and "ordinances" (laws and statutes)? The answer is a resounding, "NO!"<br />
<br />
So when Constantine was able to get a few hundred "Christian" bishops to attorn or turn to him and help him, as the Roman king, to establish and found the Roman Church, was that really The Church, Jesus' Church? Or was it Constantine's imitation? A lesser, inferior, reproduction in the name, nature and character of Constantine, not Yahushua the Highest Son of David, the dejure, Rightful, King of Peace, King of God the Father in Heaven Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven?<br />
<br />
If a so-called "church" applies to a "state" for incorporation under the laws of the "sovereign" "state", and then applies to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, another "sovereign power" in order for the IRS to determine and conclude that this so-called "church" is legally a "non-profit, tax-exempt, organization of the State and United States" hasn't it as a "corporate body" attorned and re-organized itself under a new "god", choosing to abandon its original "sovereign" (God) committing an act of "adultery" with new "husband", "father", "sovereign" and "god" (mighty one of authority, law maker, judge, magistrate, ruling authority)?<br />
<br />
Can anyone truly serve two masters (lords)? Of course not. The Law of God the Father says so.<br />
<br />
So can an American, a member, a citizen, a national, of a state, nation, country, a organized jural society, with its own constitutions, and laws also be a Christian, a member, citizen, of the Christian nation, Church, government of one King, one Jesus, the anointed King of the Kingdom of God, aka, the Kingdom of Heaven? Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority. In the legal speak of the civil world of men, its called "expatriating and naturalization", aka, "dying, being born again and baptized".<br />
<br />
The thing is your old "sovereign" may not let you go that easily, especially if you are bound to him by a massive public debt. But you can choose to strive and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You can render to "Caesar" what is "Caesar's" and begin rendering to God what is Gods. Don't fret. Just begin to do. You'll know them by their "fruit". Are you truly rendering to God what is God's? Are you acting like a "dual citizen" right now? Faithful to two different "nations"? Truly loving the "Christian nation and Kingdom" more than you love the "pagan (country) nation (gentile)" that you may have been born and registered into at birth as a "member", "citizen", "national"? If the two were at "war" which would you choose in spirit and in truth? Which Father, Yahuwah (YHWH) or Uncle Sam, etc. do you pray to for your "daily bread" (social welfare, education, protections, justice, benefits, subsidies, entitlements, privileges, immunities, pensions, bounties, licenses, permits, etc.)? You'll know them by their fruit.<br />
<br />
If you had "dual citizenship" with two pagan nations, say Germany and the USA, might you be obligated to pay taxes to both "sovereign governments" of those two distinct pagan (country) nations (gentile)? Of course you might have to pay your "tithes" (taxes) to both "sovereigns", and you would if you wanted to keep receiving the "daily bread" (privileges, benefits, immunities, franchises, protections, pensions, bounties, entitlements, etc.) from off both the German altar and the American altar, or else these two foreign and alien "gods" will punish you for non-compliance with their laws, statutes and "ordinances".<br />
<br />
'''A comparison of two ministers, one of the kingdom of God the other of the government of man.'''<br />
<br />
When the members of the United States nation, who are registered to vote in that body politics' elections, go to the polls and they elect, choose, call out, one of their own to serve as a minister in a specific government office, for example, the county attorney, does the individual who the people have called out with their vote take a sworn oath of "chastity", "obedience", and "faith" to fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon the individual by the government office they have been elected to fill? <br />
<br />
Can anyone run around the county declaring themselves to be a minister of the county, specifically, the county attorney? Who has the power to say, "This is the county attorney"? Isn't it the members of the corporate body politic, the nation, that are residents in that county, which are registered to vote for their civil government public ministers? "They say that I am", so to speak. No other member of the body poltic for the term of office can just declare themselves on their own authority (delusion) to be the county attorney. The people that elected that individual to be their county attorney say, "this is our county attorney". Once this "calling out" occurs, can the individual the voting members chose now say righteously, "I'm the county attorney." <br />
<br />
When the civil government minister is sworn into their government office of service and trust, such as the county attorney, do they swear to "receive, preserve and propagate the doctrines and ordinances" of their "sovereign"? Does a United States county attorney swear to defend the Constitution of the United States, defend the Constitution of their State, swear to uphold, defend, protect and enforce the laws of the United States, their State, etc.? Of course they do.<br />
<br />
What would happen if a foreign sovereign were to approach a United States county attorney and demand that the county attorney, attorn and swear out an oath of obedience to the foreign sovereign, which would give the foreign sovereign the power of determination and conclusion over the county attorney, like the power to punish the county attorney according to the laws of the foreign sovereign for perjury? What happens to the old oaths of the county attorney they swore out when they took their office of county attorney? Are they now in breech of the public trust that was created by the people that elected them and their oath they swore when accepting the government office of county attorney because they have chosen to attorn to a new sovereign and give that sovereign some authority over them? Of course they are in breech. And depending on the circumstances not only can they be lawfully removed from their office of service and trust the voting members chose them to fill, but they could also be charged with treason, and if found guilty put to death for that high crime.<br />
<br />
When a minister of the kingdom of God is called out via the pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands of laity and ministers of record, to be a bishop (a minister for ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) or an arch-bishop (a minister for ten bishops all serving ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) in the government of Jesus the Christ, called His "Church" who are all expected to "receive, preserve, and propagate His doctrines and ordinances". Are they under solemn vows, prayers, to Jesus the Christ and to the Father, to faithfully execute the duties and obligations imposed by Jesus on His minister servants? Are they to be "faithful", "obedient", "chaste" to their ONLY KING, and NO OTHER foreign sovereign? OF COURSE. They are no different than the elected minister servants of the governments of men who exercise authority who also take oaths of obedience, fidelity (allegiance) and chastity to their sovereign masters, lords, gods (mighty ones of authority, law givers, judges, magistrates), presidents, congresses, kings, potentates, etc.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven is a government. A lawful, dejure, government that has a "historic continuity" stretching all the way back to Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, aka Yahushua ha Mashiach (the anointed king of the Kingdom of God). There has always been a remnant that has not attorned from their founder, establisher, sovereign, king and creator, to give their allegiance, fidelity, obedience and chastity to foreign and alien gods or sovereigns.<br />
<br />
I am a minister of the Most High, not because I say so, but because others say so. The Elders of families that have elected me to serve them in a Sacred Office of Service and Trust called His Church, specifically, my office is called His Church at Loess Hills. I prayed out vows to my sovereign King, master (Lord), and God to be faithful to Him and His Laws, His form of Government. I prayed out a vow to receive, preserve and propagate the Doctrines of Jesus the Christ (Yahushua ha Mashiach) the rightful King of God the Father's Kingdom of Heaven on earth, as it is in Heaven. I am under vows of poverty (not owning a personal estate nor having any worldly/family inheritance, I gave up all my property, gave it away to others, I gave up all my professional licenses and ratings, and left my worldly career in the aviation industry), chastity (I cannot attorn and commit an act of adultery with a foreign sovereign or ruling authority), faith (I give my full fidelity and allegiance to the Anointed King of the Kingdom of God at hand, rather than to any other government system like the United States), obedience (I cannot disobey the Will and Laws of my King and His Father, which is also my Father who rules from Heaven).<br />
<br />
My solemn vows (prayers to God) are really no different, or less important, than the oaths sworn out by the elected or appointed ministers of the governments of the systems of man are to them. Both ministers can be punished, even put to death, by their sovereigns for breech of trust and violations of the duties and obligations their government offices impose upon them.<br />
<br />
The question is "Who's your sovereign? Who's your Daddy?" You'll know them by their fruit. Are you an "American" or another pagan gentile (countryman or national), or are you a true "Christian"? Have you died to your old "god", "father", "sovereign" and been "born again" and "baptized" into a truly "Christian nation" or are you just a wet American who thinks magic words can "save" them? Are you righteously seeking to repatriate the kingdom of God at hand by doing the Will of the Father, i.e. keeping His Law, loving Him with all your heart and truly loving your neighbor as much as you love yourself? Are you really walking in the name (character/nature/spirit) of Jesus the Christ? You'll know them by their fruit.<br />
<br />
Repent!! Seek the Kingdom of God at hand, the dejure government for all mankind, for the Creator never surrendered His rightful position on this planet. His Government has been here since the beginning and it changes not, it is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, for anyone who freely chooses to repent and seek His kingdom and His righteousness.</div>Liberty farms iowahttp://preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_word_about_other_nations,_states,_countries,_churches_in_and_of_the_way_of_humans&diff=13869A word about other nations, states, countries, churches in and of the way of humans2015-05-12T14:23:42Z<p>Liberty farms iowa: </p>

Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority. In the legal speak of the civil world of men, its called "expatriating and naturalization", aka, "dying, being born again and baptized".<br />
<br />
The thing is your old "sovereign" may not let you go that easily, especially if you are bound to him by a massive public debt. But you can choose to strive and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You can render to "Caesar" what is "Caesar's" and begin rendering to God what is Gods. Don't fret. Just begin to do. You'll know them by their "fruit". Are you truly rendering to God what is God's? Are you acting like a "dual citizen" right now? Faithful to two different "nations"? Truly loving the "Christian nation and Kingdom" more than you love the "pagan (country) nation (gentile)" that you may have been born and registered into at birth as a "member", "citizen", "national"? If the two were at "war" which would you choose in spirit and in truth? Which Father, Yahuwah (YHWH) or Uncle Sam, etc. do you pray to for your "daily bread" (social welfare, education, protections, justice, benefits, subsidies, entitlements, privileges, immunities, pensions, bounties, licenses, permits, etc.)? You'll know them by their fruit.<br />
<br />
If you had "dual citizenship" with two pagan nations, say Germany and the USA, might you be obligated to pay taxes to both "sovereign governments" of those two distinct pagan (country) nations (gentile)? Of course you might have to pay your "tithes" (taxes) to both "sovereigns", and you would if you wanted to keep receiving the "daily bread" (privileges, benefits, immunities, franchises, protections, pensions, bounties, entitlements, etc.) from off both the German altar and the American altar, or else these two foreign and alien "gods" will punish you for non-compliance with their laws, statutes and "ordinances".<br />
<br />
'''A comparison of two ministers, one of the kingdom of God the other of the government of man.'''<br />
<br />
When the members of the United States nation, who are registered to vote in that body politics' elections, go to the polls and they elect, choose, call out, one of their own to serve as a minister in a specific government office, for example, the county attorney, does the individual who the people have called out with their vote take a sworn oath of "chastity", "obedience", and "faith" to fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon the individual by the government office they have been elected to fill? <br />
<br />
Can anyone run around the county declaring themselves to be a minister of the county, specifically, the county attorney? Who has the power to say, "This is the county attorney"? Isn't it the members of the corporate body politic, the nation, that are residents in that county, which are registered to vote for their civil government public ministers? "They say that I am", so to speak. No other member of the body poltic for the term of office can just declare themselves on their own authority (delusion) to be the county attorney. The people that elected that individual to be their county attorney say, "this is our county attorney". Once this "calling out" occurs, can the individual the voting members chose now say righteously, "I'm the county attorney." <br />
<br />
When the civil government minister is sworn into their government office of service and trust, such as the county attorney, do they swear to "receive, preserve and propagate the doctrines and ordinances" of their "sovereign"? Does a United States county attorney swear to defend the Constitution of the United States, defend the Constitution of their State, swear to uphold, defend, protect and enforce the laws of the United States, their State, etc.? Of course they do.<br />
<br />
What would happen if a foreign sovereign were to approach a United States county attorney and demand that the county attorney, attorn and swear out an oath of obedience to the foreign sovereign, which would give the foreign sovereign the power of determination and conclusion over the county attorney, like the power to punish the county attorney according to the laws of the foreign sovereign for perjury? What happens to the old oaths of the county attorney they swore out when they took their office of county attorney? Are they now in breech of the public trust that was created by the people that elected them and their oath they swore when accepting the government office of county attorney because they have chosen to attorn to a new sovereign and give that sovereign some authority over them? Of course they are in breech. And depending on the circumstances not only can they be lawfully removed from their office of service and trust the voting members chose them to fill, but they could also be charged with treason, and if found guilty put to death for that high crime.<br />
<br />
When a minister of the kingdom of God is called out via the pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands of laity and ministers of record, to be a bishop (a minister for ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) or an arch-bishop (a minister for ten bishops all serving ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) in the government of Jesus the Christ, called His "Church" who are all expected to "receive, preserve, and propagate His doctrines and ordinances". Are they under solemn vows, prayers, to Jesus the Christ and to the Father, to faithfully execute the duties and obligations imposed by Jesus on His minister servants? Are they to be "faithful", "obedient", "chaste" to their ONLY KING, and NO OTHER foreign sovereign? OF COURSE. They are no different than the elected minister servants of the governments of men who exercise authority who also take oaths of obedience, fidelity (allegiance) and chastity to their sovereign masters, lords, gods (mighty ones of authority, law givers, judges, magistrates), presidents, congresses, kings, potentates, etc.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven is a government. A lawful, dejure, government that has a "historic continuity" stretching all the way back to Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, aka Yahushua ha Mashiach (the anointed king of the Kingdom of God). There has always been a remnant that has not attorned from their founder, establisher, sovereign, king and creator, to give their allegiance, fidelity, obedience and chastity to foreign and alien gods or sovereigns.<br />
<br />
I am a minister of the Most High, not because I say so, but because others say so. The Elders of families that have elected me to serve them in a Sacred Office of Service and Trust called His Church, specifically, my office is called His Church at Loess Hills. I prayed out vows to my sovereign King, master (Lord), and God to be faithful to Him and His Laws, His form of Government. I prayed out a vow to receive, preserve and propagate the Doctrines of Jesus the Christ (Yahushua ha Mashiach) the rightful King of God the Father's Kingdom of Heaven on earth, as it is in Heaven. I am under vows of poverty (not owning a personal estate nor having any worldly/family inheritance), chastity (I cannot attorn and commit an act of adultery with a foreign sovereign or ruling authority), faith (I give my full fidelity and allegiance to the Anointed King of the Kingdom of God at hand, rather than to any other government system like the United States), obedience (I cannot disobey the Will and Laws of my King and His Father, which is also my Father who rules from Heaven).<br />
<br />
My solemn vows (prayers to God) are really no different, or less important, than the oaths sworn out by the elected or appointed ministers of the governments of the systems of man are to them. Both ministers can be punished, even put to death, by their sovereigns for breech of trust and violations of the duties and obligations their government offices impose upon them.<br />
<br />
The question is "Who's your sovereign? Who's your Daddy?" You'll know them by their fruit. Are you an "American" or another pagan gentile (countryman or national), or are you a true "Christian"? Have you died to your old "god", "father", "sovereign" and been "born again" and "baptized" into a truly "Christian nation" or are you just a wet American who thinks magic words can "save" them? Are you righteously seeking to repatriate the kingdom of God at hand by doing the Will of the Father, i.e. keeping His Law, loving Him with all your heart and truly loving your neighbor as much as you love yourself? Are you really walking in the name (character/nature/spirit) of Jesus the Christ? You'll know them by their fruit.<br />
<br />
Repent!! Seek the Kingdom of God at hand, the dejure government for all mankind, for the Creator never surrendered His rightful position on this planet. His Government has been here since the beginning and it changes not, it is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, for anyone who freely chooses to repent and seek His kingdom and His righteousness.</div>Liberty farms iowahttp://preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_word_about_other_nations,_states,_countries,_churches_in_and_of_the_way_of_humans&diff=13868A word about other nations, states, countries, churches in and of the way of humans2015-05-12T13:54:48Z<p>Liberty farms iowa: </p>

<br />
'''What is a "community"?'''<br />
<br />

A <i>society or body of people</i> living in the same place, under the same laws and regulations, who have common rights, privileges, or interests. It connotes a congeries of common interests arising from associations - social, business, religious, governmental, scholastic, recreational." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />

Such was the "Ordinance for the government of the North-West Territory" enacted by Congress in 1787." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "government"?'''<br />
<br />
"Government. From the Latin <i>gubernaculum</i>. Signifies the instrument, the helm, whereby the ship to which the <u>state</u> was compared, was guided on its course by the "gubernator" or helmsman, and in that view, the government is but an agency of the state, distinguished as it must be in accurate thought from its scheme and machinery of government...The system of polity in a state; that form of fundamental rules and principles by which individual members of a <u>body politic</u> are to regulate their social actions.

The whole class or body of office holders or functionaries considered in teh aggregate, upon whom devolves the executive, judicial, legislative, and administrative business of the state..." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "state"?'''<br />
<br />
"State. A people permanently occupying a fixed territory bound together by common law habits and custom into one <u>body politic</u> exercising, through the medium of organized "government", independent "sovereignty" and control over all persons and things within its boundaries, capable of making war and peace and of entering into international relations with other "communities" of the globe...The organization of social life which exercises "sovereign" power in behalf of the people. <u><i>In its largest sense, a "state" is a "body politic" or a "society" of men.</i></u> A body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one "government". Term may refer either to "body politic" of a "nation" or to an individual "government" unit of such "nation". Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "nation"?'''<br />
<br />
"Nation. A people, or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural "society", usually inhabiting a distinct portion of the earth, speaking the same language, using the same customs, possessing historic continuity, and distinguished from other like groups by their racial origins and characteristics, and generally, but not necessarily, living under the same "government" and "sovereignty"." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "body politic"?'''<br />
<br />
"Body Politic or corporate. A social compact by which the whole people covenants with each citizen, and each citizen with the whole people, that all shall be governed by certain laws for the common good. Also a term applied to a municipal corporation, school district, county, city. "State" or "nation" or public associations." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "sovereign"?'''<br />
<br />
"Sovereign. A person, body, or "state" in which independent and supreme authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power." "Sovereign power or sovereign prerogative. That power in a "state" to which none other is superior or equal, and which includes all the specific powers necessary to accomplish the legitimate ends and purposes of government." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a country?'''<br />
<br />
"Country. The territory occupied by an independent "nation" or people, or the inhabitants of such territory. <u><i>In the primary meaning "country" denotes the population, the "nation", the "state", or the "government", having possession and dominion over a territory."</i></u> Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
<br />
So are "Christians" an independent "nation", "state", "country", "society", "body politic" inhabiting a distinct territory, the whole earth, since the Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven, Christ's kingdom has a geographical jurisidiction everywhere on earth under the heaven, or vaulted expanse of the sky, wherever two or three of His people, His sheep, are gathered in His name (name meaning His character, nature, spirit), with an independent form of "government" called "His Church", sharing the same customs, law, ritual and ceremonies, possessing a historic continuity going back to Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, etc.? Does this explain how true Christians can be "in the world but not of the world"? Because the Christian "territory" they inhabit is any where on earth under the heavens, so Christians will be found among the pagan gentiles, members of other countries (pagun) and nations (gentiles), but Christians are not members of those "body politics or corporates", they are not members of those "nations", "states", "countries", "governments". True Christians as a peculiar people, a salty nation, that ministers to all nations of the earth, have "died, been born again and baptized into the kingdom", or in worldly legalese, "expatriated from one nation, and been naturalized into a different nation".<br />
<br />
What happens to a "church" if it attorns toward a new "sovereign"? Asking a new "sovereign power" to reincorporate it under the new sovereign's laws? What happens to the original incorporation, foundation and establishment of the "body" calling itself a "church"? <br />
<br />
If any other "Sovereign", besides Jesus the Christ, aka, Yahushua ha Mashiach, establishes and founds a so-called "church" is it really Jesus' religious society that He founded and established to receive, preserve and propagate His teachings (doctrines) and "ordinances" (laws and statutes)? The answer is a resounding, "NO!"<br />
<br />
So when Constantine was able to get a few hundred "Christian" bishops to attorn or turn to him and help him, as the Roman king, to establish and found the Roman Church, was that really The Church, Jesus' Church? Or was it Constantine's imitation? A lesser, inferior, reproduction in the name, nature and character of Constantine, not Yahushua the Highest Son of David, the dejure, Rightful, King of Peace, King of God the Father in Heaven Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven?<br />
<br />
If a so-called "church" applies to a "state" for incorporation under the laws of the "sovereign" "state", and then applies to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, another "sovereign power" in order for the IRS to determine and conclude that this so-called "church" is legally a "non-profit, tax-exempt, organization of the State and United States" hasn't it as a "corporate body" attorned and re-organized itself under a new "god", choosing to abandon its original "sovereign" (God) committing an act of "adultery" with new "husband", "father", "sovereign" and "god" (mighty one of authority, law maker, judge, magistrate, ruling authority)?<br />
<br />
Can anyone truly serve two masters (lords)? Of course not. The Law of God the Father says so.<br />
<br />
So can an American, a member, a citizen, a national, of a state, nation, country, a organized jural society, with its own constitutions, and laws also be a Christian, a member, citizen, of the Christian nation, Church, government of one King, one Jesus, the anointed King of the Kingdom of God, aka, the Kingdom of Heaven? Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority. In the legal speak of the civil world of men, its called "expatriating and naturalization", aka, "dying, being born again and baptized".<br />
<br />
The thing is your old "sovereign" may not let you go that easily, especially if you are bound to him by a massive public debt. But you can choose to strive and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You can render to "Caesar" what is "Caesar's" and begin rendering to God what is Gods. Don't fret. Just begin to do. You'll know them by their "fruit". Are you truly rendering to God what is God's? Are you acting like a "dual citizen" right now? Faithful to two different "nations"? Truly loving the "Christian nation and Kingdom" more than you love the "pagan (country) nation (gentile)" that you may have been born and registered into at birth as a "member", "citizen", "national"? If the two were at "war" which would you choose in spirit and in truth? Which Father, Yahuwah (YHWH) or Uncle Sam, etc. do you pray to for your "daily bread" (social welfare, education, protections, justice, benefits, subsidies, entitlements, privileges, immunities, pensions, bounties, licenses, permits, etc.)? You'll know them by their fruit.<br />
<br />
If you had "dual citizenship" with two pagan nations, say Germany and the USA, might you be obligated to pay taxes to both "sovereign governments" of those two distinct pagan (country) nations (gentile)? Of course you might have to pay your "tithes" (taxes) to both "sovereigns", and you would if you wanted to keep receiving the "daily bread" (privileges, benefits, immunities, franchises, protections, pensions, bounties, entitlements, etc.) from off both the German altar and the American altar, or else these two foreign and alien "gods" will punish you for non-compliance with their laws, statutes and "ordinances".<br />
<br />
'''A comparison of two ministers, one of the kingdom of God the other of the government of man.'''<br />
<br />
When the members of the United States nation, who are registered to vote in that body politics' elections, go to the polls and they elect, choose, call out, one of their own to serve as a minister in a specific government office, for example, the county attorney, does the individual who the people have called out with their vote take a sworn oath of "chastity", "obedience", and "faith" to fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon the individual by the government office they have been elected to fill? <br />

Also a term applied to a municipal corporation, school district, county, city. "State" or "nation" or public associations." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "sovereign"?'''<br />
<br />
"Sovereign. A person, body, or "state" in which independent and supreme authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power." "Sovereign power or sovereign prerogative. That power in a "state" to which none other is superior or equal, and which includes all the specific powers necessary to accomplish the legitimate ends and purposes of government." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a country?'''<br />
<br />
"Country. The territory occupied by an independent "nation" or people, or the inhabitants of such territory. <u><i>In the primary meaning "country" denotes the population, the "nation", the "state", or the "government", having possession and dominion over a territory."</i></u> Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
<br />
So are "Christians" an independent "nation", "state", "country", "society", "body politic" inhabiting a distinct territory, the whole earth, since the Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven, Christ's kingdom has a geographical jurisidiction everywhere on earth under the heaven, or vaulted expanse of the sky, wherever two or three of His people, His sheep, are gathered in His name (name meaning His character, nature, spirit), with an independent form of "government" called "His Church", sharing the same customs, law, ritual and ceremonies, possessing a historic continuity going back to Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, etc.? Does this explain how true Christians can be "in the world but not of the world"? Because the Christian "territory" they inhabit is any where on earth under the heavens, so Christians will be found among the pagan gentiles, members of other countries (pagun) and nations (gentiles), but Christians are not members of those "body politics or corporates", they are not members of those "nations", "states", "countries", "governments". True Christians as a peculiar people, a salty nation, that ministers to all nations of the earth, have "died, been born again and baptized into the kingdom", or in worldly legalese, "expatriated from one nation, and been naturalized into a different nation".<br />
<br />
What happens to a "church" if it attorns toward a new "sovereign"? Asking a new "sovereign power" to reincorporate it under the new sovereign's laws? What happens to the original incorporation, foundation and establishment of the "body" calling itself a "church"? <br />
<br />
If any other "Sovereign", besides Jesus the Christ, aka, Yahushua ha Mashiach, establishes and founds a so-called "church" is it really Jesus' religious society that He founded and established to receive, preserve and propagate His teachings (doctrines) and "ordinances" (laws and statutes)? The answer is a resounding, "NO!"<br />
<br />
So when Constantine was able to get a few hundred "Christian" bishops to attorn or turn to him and help him, as the Roman king, to establish and found the Roman Church, was that really The Church, Jesus' Church? Or was it Constantine's imitation? A lesser, inferior, reproduction in the name, nature and character of Constantine, not Yahushua the Highest Son of David, the dejure, Rightful, King of Peace, King of God the Father in Heaven Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven?<br />
<br />
If a so-called "church" applies to a "state" for incorporation under the laws of the "sovereign" "state", and then applies to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, another "sovereign power" in order for the IRS to determine and conclude that this so-called "church" is legally a "non-profit, tax-exempt, organization of the State and United States" hasn't it as a "corporate body" attorned and re-organized itself under a new "god", choosing to abandon its original "sovereign" (God) committing an act of "adultery" with new "husband", "father", "sovereign" and "god" (mighty one of authority, law maker, judge, magistrate, ruling authority)?<br />
<br />
Can anyone truly serve two masters (lords)? Of course not. The Law of God the Father says so.<br />
<br />
So can an American, a member, a citizen, a national, of a state, nation, country, a organized jural society, with its own constitutions, and laws also be a Christian, a member, citizen, of the Christian nation, Church, government of one King, one Jesus, the anointed King of the Kingdom of God, aka, the Kingdom of Heaven? Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority. In the legal speak of the civil world of men, its called "expatriating and naturalization", aka, "dying, being born again and baptized".<br />
<br />
The thing is your old "sovereign" may not let you go that easily, especially if you are bound to him by a massive public debt. But you can choose to strive and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You can render to "Caesar" what is "Caesar's" and begin rendering to God what is Gods. Don't fret. Just begin to do. You'll know them by their "fruit". Are you truly rendering to God what is God's? Are you acting like a "dual citizen" right now? Faithful to two different "nations"? Truly loving the "Christian nation and Kingdom" more than you love the "pagan (country) nation (gentile)" that you may have been born and registered into at birth as a "member", "citizen", "national"? If the two were at "war" which would you choose in spirit and in truth? Which Father, Yahuwah (YHWH) or Uncle Sam, etc. do you pray to for your "daily bread" (social welfare, education, protections, justice, benefits, subsidies, entitlements, privileges, immunities, pensions, bounties, licenses, permits, etc.)? You'll know them by their fruit.<br />
<br />
If you had "dual citizenship" with two pagan nations, say Germany and the USA, might you be obligated to pay taxes to both "sovereign governments" of those two distinct pagan (country) nations (gentile)? Of course you might have to pay your "tithes" (taxes) to both "sovereigns", and you would if you wanted to keep receiving the "daily bread" (privileges, benefits, immunities, franchises, protections, pensions, bounties, entitlements, etc.) from off both the German altar and the American altar, or else these two foreign and alien "gods" will punish you for non-compliance with their laws, statutes and "ordinances".<br />
<br />
'''A comparison of two ministers, one of the kingdom of God the other of the government of man.'''<br />
<br />
When the members of the United States nation, who are registered to vote in that body politics' elections, go to the polls and they elect, choose, call out, one of their own to serve as a minister in a specific government office, for example, the county attorney, does the individual who the people have called out with their vote take a sworn oath of "chastity", "obedience", and "faith" to fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon the individual by the government office they have been elected to fill? <br />
<br />
Can anyone run around the county declaring themselves to be a minister of the county, specifically, the county attorney? Who has the power to say, "This is the county attorney"? Isn't it the members of the corporate body politic, the nation, that are residents in that county, which are registered to vote for their civil government public ministers? "They say that I am", so to speak. No other member of the body poltic for the term of office can just declare themselves on their own authority (delusion) to be the county attorney. The people that elected that individual to be their county attorney say, "this is our county attorney". Once this "calling out" occurs, can the individual the voting members chose now say righteously, "I'm the county attorney." <br />
<br />
When the civil government minister is sworn into their government office of service and trust, such as the county attorney, do they swear to "receive, preserve and propagate the doctrines and ordinances" of their "sovereign"? Does a United States county attorney swear to defend the Constitution of the United States, defend the Constitution of their State, swear to uphold, defend, protect and enforce the laws of the United States, their State, etc.? Of course they do.<br />
<br />
What would happen if a foreign sovereign were to approach a United States county attorney and demand that the county attorney, attorn and swear out an oath of obedience to the foreign sovereign, which would give the foreign sovereign the power of determination and conclusion over the county attorney, like the power to punish the county attorney according to the laws of the foreign sovereign for perjury? What happens to the old oaths of the county attorney they swore out when they took their office of county attorney? Are they now in breech of the public trust that was created by the people that elected them and their oath they swore when accepting the government office of county attorney because they have chosen to attorn to a new sovereign and give that sovereign some authority over them? Of course they are in breech. And depending on the circumstances not only can they be lawfully removed from their office of service and trust the voting members chose them to fill, but they could also be charged with treason, and if found guilty put to death for that high crime.<br />
<br />
When a minister of the kingdom of God is called out via the pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands of laity and ministers of record, to be a bishop (a minister for ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) or an arch-bishop (a minister for ten bishops all serving ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) in the government of Jesus the Christ, called His "Church" who are all expected to "receive, preserve, and propagate His doctrines and ordinances". Are they under solemn vows, prayers, to Jesus the Christ and to the Father, to faithfully execute the duties and obligations imposed by Jesus on His minister servants? Are they to be "faithful", "obedient", "chaste" to their ONLY KING, and NO OTHER foreign sovereign? OF COURSE. They are no different than the elected minister servants of the governments of men who exercise authority who also take oaths of obedience, fidelity (allegiance) and chastity to their sovereign masters, lords, gods (mighty ones of authority, law givers, judges, magistrates), presidents, congresses, kings, potentates, etc.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven is a government. A lawful, dejure, government that has a "historic continuity" stretching all the way back to Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, aka Yahushua ha Mashiach (the anointed king of the Kingdom of God). There has always been a remnant that has not attorned from their founder, establisher, sovereign, king and creator, to give their allegiance, fidelity, obedience and chastity to foreign and alien gods or sovereigns.<br />
<br />
I am a minister of the Most High, not because I say so, but because others say so. The Elders of families that have elected me to serve them in a Sacred Office of Service and Trust called His Church, specifically, my office is called His Church at Loess Hills. I prayed out vows to my sovereign King, master (Lord), and God to be faithful to Him and His Laws, His form of Government. I prayed out a vow to receive, preserve and propagate the Doctrines of Jesus the Christ (Yahushua ha Mashiach) the rightful King of God the Father's Kingdom of Heaven on earth, as it is in Heaven. I am under vows of poverty (not owning a personal estate nor having any worldly/family inheritance), chastity (I cannot attorn and commit an act of adultery with a foreign sovereign or ruling authority), faith (I give my full fidelity and allegiance to the Anointed King of the Kingdom of God at hand, rather than to any other government system like the United States), obedience (I cannot disobey the Will and Laws of my King and His Father, which is also my Father who rules from Heaven).<br />
<br />
My solemn vows are n different or less important than the oaths sworn out by the elected or appointed ministers of the governments of the systems of man are to them. Both ministers can be punished, by death, by their sovereigns for breech of trust and violations of their duties and obligations their government offices impose upon them.<br />
<br />
The question is "Who's your sovereign? Who's your Daddy?" You'll know them by their fruit. Are you an "American" or another pagan gentile, or are you a true "Christian"? Have you died to your old "god", "father", "sovereign" and been "born again" and "baptized" into a truly "Christian nation" or are you just a wet American who thinks magic words can "save" them?<br />
<br />
Repent!! Seek the Kingdom of God at hand, the dejure government for all mankind, for the Creator never surrendered His rightful position on this planet. His Government has been here since the beginning and it changes not, it is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, for anyone who freely chooses to repent and seek His kingdom and His righteousness.</div>Liberty farms iowahttp://preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_word_about_other_nations,_states,_countries,_churches_in_and_of_the_way_of_humans&diff=13866A word about other nations, states, countries, churches in and of the way of humans2015-05-12T13:38:25Z<p>Liberty farms iowa: </p>

<br />
"Government. From the Latin <i>gubernaculum</i>.

Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "state"?'''<br />
<br />
"State. A people permanently occupying a fixed territory bound together by common law habits and custom into one <u>body politic</u> exercising, through the medium of organized "government", independent "sovereignty" and control over all persons and things within its boundaries, capable of making war and peace and of entering into international relations with other "communities" of the globe...The organization of social life which exercises "sovereign" power in behalf of the people. <u><i>In its largest sense, a "state" is a "body politic" or a "society" of men.</i></u> A body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one "government". Term may refer either to "body politic" of a "nation" or to an individual "government" unit of such "nation". Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "nation"?'''<br />
<br />
"Nation. A people, or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural "society", usually inhabiting a distinct portion of the earth, speaking the same language, using the same customs, possessing historic continuity, and distinguished from other like groups by their racial origins and characteristics, and generally, but not necessarily, living under the same "government" and "sovereignty"." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "body politic"?'''<br />
<br />
"Body Politic or corporate. A social compact by which the whole people covenants with each citizen, and each citizen with the whole people, that all shall be governed by certain laws for the common good. Also a term applied to a municipal corporation, school district, county, city. "State" or "nation" or public associations." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "sovereign"?'''<br />
<br />
"Sovereign. A person, body, or "state" in which independent and supreme authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power." "Sovereign power or sovereign prerogative. That power in a "state" to which none other is superior or equal, and which includes all the specific powers necessary to accomplish the legitimate ends and purposes of government." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a country?'''<br />
<br />
"Country. The territory occupied by an independent "nation" or people, or the inhabitants of such territory. <u><i>In the primary meaning "country" denotes the population, the "nation", the "state", or the "government", having possession and dominion over a territory."</i></u> Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
<br />
So are "Christians" an independent "nation", "state", "country", "society", "body politic" inhabiting a distinct territory, the whole earth, since the Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven, Christ's kingdom has a geographical jurisidiction everywhere on earth under the heaven, or vaulted expanse of the sky, wherever two or three of His people, His sheep, are gathered in His name (name meaning His character, nature, spirit), with an independent form of "government" called "His Church", sharing the same customs, law, ritual and ceremonies, possessing a historic continuity going back to Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, etc.? Does this explain how true Christians can be "in the world but not of the world"? Because the Christian "territory" they inhabit is any where on earth under the heavens, so Christians will be found among the pagan gentiles, members of other countries (pagun) and nations (gentiles), but Christians are not members of those "body politics or corporates", they are not members of those "nations", "states", "countries", "governments". True Christians as a peculiar people, a salty nation, that ministers to all nations of the earth, have "died, been born again and baptized into the kingdom", or in worldly legalese, "expatriated from one nation, and been naturalized into a different nation".<br />
<br />
What happens to a "church" if it attorns toward a new "sovereign"? Asking a new "sovereign power" to reincorporate it under the new sovereign's laws? What happens to the original incorporation, foundation and establishment of the "body" calling itself a "church"? <br />
<br />
If any other "Sovereign", besides Jesus the Christ, aka, Yahushua ha Mashiach, establishes and founds a so-called "church" is it really Jesus' religious society that He founded and established to receive, preserve and propagate His teachings (doctrines) and "ordinances" (laws and statutes)? The answer is a resounding, "NO!"<br />
<br />
So when Constantine was able to get a few hundred "Christian" bishops to attorn or turn to him and help him, as the Roman king, to establish and found the Roman Church, was that really The Church, Jesus' Church? Or was it Constantine's imitation? A lesser, inferior, reproduction in the name, nature and character of Constantine, not Yahushua the Highest Son of David, the dejure, Rightful, King of Peace, King of God the Father in Heaven Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven?<br />
<br />
If a so-called "church" applies to a "state" for incorporation under the laws of the "sovereign" "state", and then applies to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, another "sovereign power" in order for the IRS to determine and conclude that this so-called "church" is legally a "non-profit, tax-exempt, organization of the State and United States" hasn't it as a "corporate body" attorned and re-organized itself under a new "god", choosing to abandon its original "sovereign" (God) committing an act of "adultery" with new "husband", "father", "sovereign" and "god" (mighty one of authority, law maker, judge, magistrate, ruling authority)?<br />
<br />
Can anyone truly serve two masters (lords)? Of course not. The Law of God the Father says so.<br />
<br />
So can an American, a member, a citizen, a national, of a state, nation, country, a organized jural society, with its own constitutions, and laws also be a Christian, a member, citizen, of the Christian nation, Church, government of one King, one Jesus, the anointed King of the Kingdom of God, aka, the Kingdom of Heaven? Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority. In the legal speak of the civil world of men, its called "expatriating and naturalization", aka, "dying, being born again and baptized".<br />
<br />
The thing is your old "sovereign" may not let you go that easily, especially if you are bound to him by a massive public debt. But you can choose to strive and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You can render to "Caesar" what is "Caesar's" and begin rendering to God what is Gods.<br />
<br />
If you had "dual citizenship" with two pagan nations, say Germany and the USA, might you be obligated to pay taxes to both "sovereign governments" of those two distinct pagan (country) nations (gentile)? Of course you might have to pay your "tithes" (taxes) to both "sovereigns", and you would if you wanted to keep receiving the "daily bread" (privileges, benefits, immunities, franchises, protections, pensions, bounties, entitlements, etc.) from off both the German altar and the American altar, or else these two foreign and alien "gods" will punish you for non-compliance with their laws, statutes and "ordinances".<br />
<br />
'''A comparison of two ministers, one of the kingdom of God the other of the government of man.'''<br />
<br />
When the members of the United States nation, who are registered to vote in that body politics' elections, go to the polls and they elect, choose, call out, one of their own to serve as a minister in a specific government office, for example, the county attorney, does the individual who the people have called out with their vote take a sworn oath of "chastity", "obedience", and "faith" to fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon the individual by the government office they have been elected to fill? <br />
<br />
Can anyone run around the country declaring themselves to be a minister of the county, specifically, the county attorney? Who has the power to say, "This is the county attorney"? Isn't it the members of the corporate body politic, the nation, that are residents in that county, which are registered to vote for their civil government public ministers? <br />
<br />
When the civil government minister is sworn into their government office of service and trust, such as the county attorney, do they swear to "receive, preserve and propagate the doctrines and ordinances" of their "sovereign"? Does a United States county attorney swear to defend the Constitution of the United States, defend the Constitution of their State, swear to uphold, defend, protect and enforce the laws of the United States, their State, etc.? Of course they do.<br />
<br />
What would happen if a foreign sovereign were to approach a United States county attorney and demand that the county attorney, attorn and swear out an oath of obedience to the foreign sovereign, which would give the foreign sovereign the power of determination and conclusion over the county attorney, like the power to punish the county attorney according to the laws of the foreign sovereign for perjury? What happens to the old oaths of the county attorney they swore out when they took their office of county attorney? Are they now in breech of the public trust that was created by the people that elected them and their oath they swore when accepting the government office of county attorney? Of course they are in breech. And depending on the circumstances not only can they be lawfully removed from their office, but they could also be charged with treason, and if found guilty put to death for that high crime.<br />
<br />
When a minister of the kingdom of God is called out via the pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands of laity and ministers of record, to be a bishop (a minister for ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) or an arch-bishop (a minister for ten bishops all serving ten ministers who are each serving ten laity families) in the government of Jesus the Christ, called His "Church" who are all expected to "receive, preserve, and propagate His doctrines and ordinances". Are they under solemn vows, prayers, to Jesus the Christ and to the Father, to faithfully execute the duties and obligations imposed by Jesus on His minister servants? Are they to be "faithful", "obedient", "chaste" to their ONLY KING, and NO OTHER foreign sovereign? OF COURSE. They are no different than the elected minister servants of the governments of men who exercise authority who also take oaths of obedience, fidelity (allegiance) and chastity to their sovereign masters, lords, gods (mighty ones of authority, law givers, judges, magistrates), presidents, congresses, kings, potentates, etc.<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven is a government. A lawful, dejure, government that has a "historic continuity" stretching all the way back to Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, aka Yahushua ha Mashiach (the anointed king of the Kingdom of God). There has always been a remnant that has not attorned from their founder, establisher, sovereign, king and creator, to give their allegiance, fidelity, obedience and chastity to foreign and alien gods or sovereigns.<br />
<br />
Repent!! Seek the Kingdom of God at hand, the dejure government for all mankind, for the Creator never surrendered His rightful position on this planet. His Government has been here since the beginning and it changes not, it is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, for anyone who freely chooses to repent and seek His kingdom and His righteousness.</div>Liberty farms iowahttp://preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_word_about_other_nations,_states,_countries,_churches_in_and_of_the_way_of_humans&diff=13788A word about other nations, states, countries, churches in and of the way of humans2015-05-11T14:02:12Z<p>Liberty farms iowa: </p>

Can anyone truly serve two masters (lords)? Of course not. The Law of God the Father says so.<br />
<br />
So can an American, a member, a citizen, a national, of a state, nation, country, a organized jural society, with its own constitutions, and laws also be a Christian, a member, citizen, of the Christian nation, Church, government of one King, one Jesus, the anointed King of the Kingdom of God, aka, the Kingdom of Heaven? Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority. In the legal speak of the civil world of men, its called "expatriating and naturalization", aka, "dying, being born again and baptized".<br />
<br />
The thing is your old "sovereign" may not let you go that easily, especially if you are bound to him by a massive public debt. But you can choose to strive and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You can render to "Caesar" what is "Caesar's" and begin rendering to God what is Gods.<br />
<br />
If you had "dual citizenship" with two pagan nations, say Germany and the USA, might you be obligated to pay taxes to both "sovereign governments" of those two distinct pagan (country) nations (gentile)? Of course you will, and you would if you wanted to keep receiving the "daily bread" (privileges, benefits, immunities, franchises, protections, pensions, bounties, entitlements, etc.) from off both the German altar and the American altar, or else these "gods" will punish you for non-compliance with their laws, statutes and "ordinances".</div>Liberty farms iowahttp://preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_word_about_other_nations,_states,_countries,_churches_in_and_of_the_way_of_humans&diff=13786A word about other nations, states, countries, churches in and of the way of humans2015-05-11T13:58:37Z<p>Liberty farms iowa: Protected "A word about other nations, states, countries, churches in and of the way of humans" ([edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite)) [cascading]</p>

<div>Black's Law Dictionary defines <b>"Church.

<br />
'''What is a "community"?'''<br />
<br />
"Community. Neighborhood; vicinity; synonymous with locality. People who reside in a locality in more or less proximity.

Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "state"?'''<br />
<br />
"State. A people permanently occupying a fixed territory bound together by common law habits and custom into one <u>body politic</u> exercising, through the medium of organized "government", independent "sovereignty" and control over all persons and things within its boundaries, capable of making war and peace and of entering into international relations with other "communities" of the globe...The organization of social life which exercises "sovereign" power in behalf of the people. <u><i>In its largest sense, a "state" is a "body politic" or a "society" of men.</i></u> A body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one "government". Term may refer either to "body politic" of a "nation" or to an individual "government" unit of such "nation". Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "nation"?'''<br />
<br />
"Nation. A people, or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural "society", usually inhabiting a distinct portion of the earth, speaking the same language, using the same customs, possessing historic continuity, and distinguished from other like groups by their racial origins and characteristics, and generally, but not necessarily, living under the same "government" and "sovereignty"." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "body politic"?'''<br />
<br />
"Body Politic or corporate. A social compact by which the whole people covenants with each citizen, and each citizen with the whole people, that all shall be governed by certain laws for the common good. Also a term applied to a municipal corporation, school district, county, city. "State" or "nation" or public associations." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a "sovereign"?'''<br />
<br />
"Sovereign. A person, body, or "state" in which independent and supreme authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power." "Sovereign power or sovereign prerogative. That power in a "state" to which none other is superior or equal, and which includes all the specific powers necessary to accomplish the legitimate ends and purposes of government." Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
'''What is a country?'''<br />
<br />
"Country. The territory occupied by an independent "nation" or people, or the inhabitants of such territory. <u><i>In the primary meaning "country" denotes the population, the "nation", the "state", or the "government", having possession and dominion over a territory."</i></u> Black's Law 5th Ed.<br />
<br />
<br />
So are "Christians" an independent "nation", "state", "country", "society", "body politic" inhabiting a distinct territory, the whole earth, since the Kingdom of God, aka the Kingdom of Heaven, Christ's kingdom has a geographical jurisidiction everywhere on earth under the heaven, or vaulted expanse of the sky, wherever two or three of His people, His sheep, are gathered in His name (name meaning His character, nature, spirit), with an independent form of "government" called "His Church", sharing the same customs, law, ritual and ceremonies, possessing a historic continuity going back to Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, etc.?<br />
<br />
What happens to a "church" if it attorns toward a new "sovereign"? Asking a new "sovereign power" to reincorporate it under the new sovereign's laws? What happens to the original incorporation, foundation and establishment of the "body" calling itself a "church"? <br />
<br />
If any other "Sovereign", besides Jesus the Christ, aka, Yahushua ha Mashiach, establishes and founds a so-called "church" is it really Jesus' religious society that He founded and established to receive, preserve and propagate His teachings (doctrines) and "ordinances" (laws and statutes)? The answer is a resounding, "NO!"<br />
<br />
So when Constantine was able to get a few hundred "Christian" bishops to attorn or turn to him and help him, as the Roman king, to establish and found the Roman Church, was that really The Church, Jesus' Church? Or was it Constantine's imitation? A lesser, inferior, reproduction in the name, nature and character of Constantine, not Yahushua the Highest Son of David, the dejure, Rightful, King of Peace, King of God the Father in Heaven Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven?<br />
<br />
If a so-called "church" applies to a "state" for incorporation under the laws of the "sovereign" "state", and then applies to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, another "sovereign power" in order for the IRS to determine and conclude that this so-called "church" is legally a "non-profit, tax-exempt, organization of the State and United States" hasn't it as a "corporate body" attorned and re-organized itself under a new "god", choosing to abandon its original "sovereign" (God) committing an act of "adultery" with new "husband", "father", "sovereign" and "god" (mighty one of authority, law maker, judge, magistrate, ruling authority)?<br />
<br />
Can anyone truly serve two masters (lords)? Of course not. The Law of God the Father says so.<br />
<br />
So can an American, a member, a citizen, a national, of a state, nation, country, a organized jural society, with its own constitutions, and laws also be a Christian, a member, citizen, of the Christian nation, Church, government of one King, one Jesus, the anointed King of the Kingdom of God, aka, the Kingdom of Heaven? Of course not. One must "die" to their old master and be "born again" and "baptized" into a new "body politic", a new "nation", "state", "country", "government", "society", "community" under a new "sovereign" and agree to receive, preserve and propagate the laws of the new "sovereign" they are now faithfully worshiping and giving their allegiance to as their new lord, master, God, mighty one of authority.

<div>What Is A Sponsored Elder? <br />
<br />
By His Church at Loess Hills<br />
<br />
The term, sponsored Elder is a term that has a couple of different definitions, which are merely due to the different way the Elder was “sponsored”.<br />
<br />
Purpose. The purpose of a sponsored Elder is for an individual that is not content with just being a new subscriber on an email group after having read the published purpose and guidelines of the HHC networking Google groups, but does not know any of the other subscribers, or know enough about the Living Network of Congregations of Record and His Churches to make an informed decision about what they are led to do next. So the sponsored Elder status is a way for folks that are seeking to do more, but as a “guest”, a “student”, an “observer” until they get to know more people and start to understand what the Living Network is and what it does to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people.<br />
<br />
Definitions. <br />
<br />
SPONSORED ELDER. A sponsored Elder is an invited regular guest in a free assembly gathering of Recorded or Declared Elders who have recognized the same Minister of Record (MoR) by entrusting their offerings to Christ into his hands. A sponsored Elder may be an HHC Google group subscriber that has decided to elect an electronic Personal Contact Minister (PCM), and the elected PCM is a Declared Elder. The sponsored Elder is now free to ask to be a regular guest, observer, or “student” who is learning more about Congregations of Recorded Elders (CoRE) and His Church kingdom government offices of service and trust, what they do, and don’t do, to be the government of the people, for the people and by the people according to the perfect law of liberty networked together in a Living Network of Congregations of Recorded Elders and His Church offices of service and trust for the people.<br />
<br />
The Declared Elder “sponsors” the individual that elected the Declared Elder as their PCM by introducing the sponsored elder to the other Declared Elders and His Church minister of record. The sponsored Elders are now invited to participate when the CoRE and their Minister freely assemble or congregate to “treat of peace” (decide what they are doing to do the Will of the Christ according to His name or character). The sponsored Elder is like an observer. They are not Declared Elders. They are seeking to learn, and possibly investigate and observe the fruit of the Elders and the MoR to decide if they would like to declare their Sacred Trust with the Messiah and name the same His Church Sacred Trustee Minister to also be their elected kingdom government servant. The CoRE Elders and the His Church minister also encourage the sponsored Elder to reach out and make contact with other Congregations of Declared Elders and His Church ministers, so that the sponsored Elder gets a chance to meet and greet as many Living Network participants as possible before freely choosing to make their Sacred Declaration with the Messiah.<br />
<br />
The same process can take place but the individual that becomes known as a sponsored Elder with a CoRE and His Church is not required to be an HHC Google Group subscriber. Maybe the sponsored Elder is a friend or acquaintance of the Declared Elder, and the Declared Elder believes that their friend or acquaintance is seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness so the Declared Elder asks their friend if the friend would like to be sponsored.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
DECLARED ELDER. A “Declared or Recorded Elder” is an individual who represents a natural family or is a single individual, who freely chooses to Declare his/her Sacred Purpose with the Messiah. The Sacred Purpose establishes a Sacred Trust. The Declared Elder is the Grantor/Settlor of the Sacred Trust. The initial Freewill Offering or Burnt Sacrifice establishes the corpus of the Trust, and who the Grantor freely gives the offering to, i.e. convey the legal title to to be used for Christ’s purposes, represents the election of the trustee. The Declared Elder’s subsequent burnt offerings is the re-affirmation or re-election of the individual as minister. We call this giving the minister a covering, weaving his breeches, granting him a license/permission to serve as the minister for this Elder and his family.<br />
<br />
The Beneficiary of the Sacred Trust is Jesus the Christ, the King of kings. The Trustee does not have to accept the offering. But if he is led in the spirit to accept the duties and obligations of trustee by taking possession of the offering, then legal title of the offering is transferred to the Minister and the equitable title transferred to Jesus the Christ it is this transfer of ownership that completes the Trust, and is an act of “election” or “choosing” by the Elder that “licenses” the trustee to be the Minister for that Elder, which is an office of trust called “His Church at …..”, a.k.a. the Minister of Trust, a.k.a. the Minister of Record [MoR].<br />
<br />
The Declared Elder then freely chooses to assemble, or congregate, with the other Declared Elders who have been led to choose, elect, or “call out” the same individual to serve all of them as their “local” His Church office of Sacred Trust or Minister of Record. For example: His Church at Loess Hills [HCLH] = Scott Hostetter, Minister of Record; those two terms are synonyms because HCLH is a government office of service and trust created by the free will giving of the Elders. His Church is not the Congregation of Declared/Recorded Elders [CoRE]. And the CoRE is not a corporate "it", a body politic or corporation, the CoRE is a free will assembly of Declared Elders who all independently chose the same individual to administer their Sacred Trust with the Messiah. <br />
<br />
<br />
How it works.<br />
<br />
With all sponsored Elders, when the Declared Elder seeks to first introduce the sponsored Elder to the CoRE of Declared Elders all the Declared Elders need to be in one accord about allowing the Declared Elder’s friend, or PCM elector, into the CoRE as a sponsored Elder. What this usually entails is a mere initial meeting or conference call with all the Declared Elders and the sponsored Elder to meet and greet and talk in order to start to get to know each other better. It is simply an introduction so that all the Elders feel comfortable and no one feels pressured. Remember there is NO membership in a CoRE, the CoRE is not a corporate "it", each Elder has to freely choose to assemble or gather in congregation. Just like each Elder has to make the freewill choice to give to Christ, what to give, when to give, how much to give, etc. to the Christ, entrusted to the minister for the minister to use for Christ’s purposes. This separation between the Elders and His Church, and the separation between each Elder and the other Elders is a critical fundamental element to remember when dealing with the weightier matter of freedom in Christ. There are no binding agreements, the only corporate body is the body of the natural family or adoptive families.<br />
<br />
So the Declaration of Sacred Purpose does not create any type of binding agreement, contract, covenant or constitution between the Elder and the other Elders or the His Church. Everyone still maintains their God given Higher Liberty of free will choice. The people are individually free to give, free to congregate, free not to congregate, free not to give, free to make their own free will choices.<br />
<br />
The CoRE and His Church office is also free to gather and not invite the sponsored Elder. There may be some rather sensitive matters that the regular guests (sponsored elders), or any guest for that matter, should not be involved in. A CoRE and His Church seek to serve others in the name of Christ, but not when matters of pastoral confidence take precedence, and it is up the His Church Minister and the Declared Elders to determine matters of pastoral confidence.<br />
<br />
The sponsorship is not an indefinite and unlimited sponsorship. At some point the sponsored Elder will be asked to make a choice to declare their Sacred Purpose with the Messiah and choose the same individual to be their Minister of Record like all the other Declared Elders did, or do so with a different Minister of Record and then freely choose to gather in congregation with the Declared Elders that were led to choose the same Minister of Record, or they will not be invited back as a regular guest. They may still request to gather with the CoRE as a special guest from time to time just like any one is free to do as an HHC Google group subscriber or a personal friend of any Declared Elder.<br />
