Revision as of 22:45, 11 November 2015
When Jesus talked about how to pray he spoke of "our daily bread". He said we should ask our Father in heave to provide for it and he told Peter and the apostles to feed his sheep[1] and not be like the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.
This reference to daily bread by Benefactors who did not exercise authority or Covetous Practices but love is a major theme of the Bible. Christ and John the Baptist and all the apostles talked about charity as the source of our daily bread.
The phrase "free Bread and circuses" (or bread and games) was used by Rome and many of those states who followed in the ways of Rome. Bread and circuses (or bread and games) (from Latin: panem et circenses) is metonymic for a superficial means of appeasement.
In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or moral public policy, but through diversion; distraction; or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow wantonness of a populace, as an offered "palliative". [2]
There is always a need for some form of social welfare to hold society in good health. There are two types of welfare used to provide for the needs of society.
Juvenal decried one of them as a simplistic motivation of common people with a disregard to the consequences to others.[3] The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of the commoner.
Basically it describes the system of religious but public welfare of the Roman State which was run through the Temples. Public religion was at the [[Roots of the Welfare State. It from time to time included all social welfare provided by the Patronus of Rome from free bread and general food supplies including wine and surplus cheese to actual cash or even health care provisions and education.
The funds collected were legislated as a tax to the members who signed up for these systems of qorban in Rome or Corban in Judea. Members were required to contribute. The Baptism of Herod set up a similar system through the Temple he built. The funds collected were public but considered sacred. But they were not the result of charity and love but enforced by exercising authority of the state.
The funds were held in a treasury also called by some Corban and administered by the public system of welfare through the synagogues. Rome of course was doing the same through their own temples and to satisfy other people within his government Herod also bill the temple of Roma. Because they were not dependent upon charity but upon contract they were called the unrighteous mammon by Christ. Eventually that system showed decay and corruption that ate up the funds of the treasury and the entrusted contribution to that system until it was bankrupt.
The same has proved true for the modern systems which followed these principles of social welfare which have proven not to be secure.
Christians obtained their daily bread through there own system of charitable welfare as prescribed by Christ[4] and John the Baptist.[5]
Of course the Apostles and eventually Paul, provided daily bread[6] by appointing men elected by the people to handle the charitable contributions of the people under the overseer-ship of the Apostles and other ministers of the Church.
The Eucharist of Christ was not merely a magical wafer but the bread of sharing with one another in love.[7] Bread was both the symbol and the staff of lie. Sharing it re[resented the social welfare of the Christian society.
This Private welfare would eventually produced the Christian conflict that became the fuel for persecution with the outlaw of private religion.
The Modern Christian does not provide a Daily ministration, the Daily bread for the needy of the Churches they establish. Instead he is willing to covet his neighbors goods through his elected Benefactors who help you take a bite out of one another.[8]
This is why they are Merchandise and curse their children with their Covetous Practices. They have need of Repentance. The Eucharist of Christ was not just a wafer but Daily bread provided through a Daily ministration of faith, hope and charity.
Real Christians are desiring to be doers of the word and not hearers only. They are seeking the kingdom by attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
