Revision as of 21:13, 27 February 2023

Moses and Jesus were in agreement but the Pharisees had it wrong. Evidently, they misused the words of Torah and altered the meaning of the text in many areas through Sophistry. Did God ever prescribe hitting women in the head with rocks as the solution for adultery?

Living Stones?

The Altars of Abraham and Moses were stones fit together without hewing those stones. Were those altars dead or living stones?


"The Hebrew word rigmah [רִגְמַת] is translated into “council”, but actually means literally “a gathering of stones”. It is from the Hebrew word Regem [רֶ֫גֶם], which is translated “friend” and is the same as ragam [רָגַם], meaning “stone”. Both words have as a common origin [רֶגֶב] regeb, “a clod” (of earth). Hebrew letters have meanings which define the words."[1]

If those original Altars were composed of living stones which were institutions for the practice of Pure Religion what did it mean to "stone" someone at the gates or against a wall in the city?

The Essenes saw animal sacrifice on altars of stone in the Torah as a metaphor for a system of personal sacrifice to and through the Church in the wilderness who provided living altars, the Levites, to serve the tents of the congregations of the people. That system of social welfare through freewill offerings permitted the binding a nation together by charity and love rather than by contract and force and the tables of rulers which are a snare. They also generally saw stoning as shunning or excluding certain people and practices from sharing in their system of public social welfare. The Essenes saw stoning, especially children and other persons including astrologers and homosexuals, etc, and even slavery as false pericopes through abuse of the Hebrew text by Sophistry.

Taking someone to court before a “council” of men or jury of your peers made up of "Living Stones" was a way of deciding Fact and Law. It was a way a free society could tend to "the weightier matters of law, judgment, mercy, and faith".[2]

There has been a concerted effort through Sophistry to keep people from understanding that the Altars of Clay and Stone were actually social structures to help keep people free in a world that seems determined to subjugate people around them, if not robbing or destroying them altogether.

Stoning did not originally mean to pick up rocks and throw them at someone to murder them. "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and "not oppressing the stranger"[3] and giving drink to the enemy were all a part of the Old Testament.

The first place we see the word stoning[4] is when Moses is talking to Pharaoh about Israel going away from Egypt to do a different kind of sacrifice[5] to God. Moses is concerned that the Egyptians will find this other form of sacrifice so opposed to their sense of ethics[6] that they would attack the people following the way of Moses and "stone" them.[7]

The Hebrew word saqal or caqal SamechKufLamed is often translated "stone". Lamed has to do with the Aspiration of the Heart which directs our actions. The Samech is a symbol of the circular symbolizing fundamental cycles or paths in life. The Kuf is the paradoxical union of a Reish and a Zayin which is associated with Service and Valor, war against or nourish and can suggest to cut or cut off, separateness. Samech is a symbol of the circular symbolizes the fundamental cycle. While the true meaning of stoning has to do with separation trough actions due to the aspiration of the Heart if emotion is driven by envy and jealousy actions may become degenerate into violence. But when God is directing us to stone someone is he suggesting murder or separation? Is it a word that is telling us to cut off someone who is going in a way or doing something that is at war with the cycle of life and righteousness?

Stoning someone was originally a metaphor in a society that would not allow or support people who undermined social virtues with sloth or neglect. If people within society were conducting themselves in a way that did not strengthen them or the society itself, there was a way of taking them before a court of their peers who would, in turn, notify the Living Stones of their charitable system of altars. This way the weak or lazy of the society would receive no more social benefits. The verdict was not about beating people to death with rocks but withdrawing support and shunning them within the imaginary walls of a free society or the banishment of an individual to live outside the gates of that community or social communion. It was a form of excommunication, by being evicted from the community and the righteous welfare system of God as if you were dead.

Those social benefits were a privilege, not a right. The people in this early form of a Republic had that right to publicly challenge the slothful and immoral behavior without violating any natural right or choice. Since their offerings to the Levites who performed the religious duties of society were freewill offerings the people individually held the purse string of the government. Their contributions to society remained Tithing In Conscience and they remained free.

Moses had originally bound the people together not by Contracts, Covenants or Constitutions but by mutual love[8] and aid. But when they decided to reject God in 1 Samuel 8 and elect a leader who could exercise authority one over the other and then the society began to seek ways to justify biting one another through compelled taxation, which were covetous practices and called foolish.

Israel took care of the needy through the freewill offerings of Corban without the Covetous Practices of the modern Benefactors of the welfare state which has been a snare that has cursed children with debt and bondage and made men Merchandise as surety for that debt .

To be banished from a community could be a death sentence. It certainly would be throwing you to the dogs of societies all around you where you would be forced into labor under the rulers of the rest of the world.

Israel originally operated by the perfect law of liberty with freewill offerings and the charity which flowed through the ministers or Levites of that church in the wilderness needed to flow freely from the moral members of society to the moral and virtuous members of that society.

Their sacrifices, even those of the Red Heifer had a purpose and value among the virtuous people of societies. While there was no shame in being poor there was no virtue in poverty. If people were to be helped they needed to meet a moral criteria of righteous behavior or go somewhere else. That left few options that did not include bondage under a master other than God the father.

Socialists hate virtue which reveals their sloth and covetousness.

The early Church actually operated much like early Israel in the tradition of a Pure Republic by way of Pure Religion. This infuriated the Pharisees who peddled the Baptism of Herod which followed the socialist's agenda of the new deal of Rome and its imperial cult.

Pharisees

Studying the Christian conflict, which has been recorded in Roman history, will show that the Modern Christians are the new Pharisees.

If Modern Christians have truly repented and believed Christ then:

People followed Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus. The altars of clay and stone was a way to create the social bonds of free people. The levites led the Israelites. And the early Church followed Christ and His Way, which was The Way, and advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Pure Religion through Fervent charity only. This was the Corban of Christ which was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees nor of Rome or the systems of FDR and LBJ.
The church lost "the way" when it abandoned the practice of "pure Religion" while claiming to be the Church established by Christ. The people developed an appetite for the "wages of unrighteousness" from "public religion" in the days of Constantine. Those new Christians that often failed to fully repent degenerated the moral character of society with the masses of "instant christians".
That new religion of the emperor introduced a new faith with his apostate church replacing the doctrine of Jesus with the "doctrines of men", the Holy Spirit with emotion, the truth with the speaking of "great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."[9]
They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.

Where is your religion

  • Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?
  • Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?

If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.

If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.[10]

It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?

  • Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?
  • Do you come to love others or just be loved?

Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.

Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."

We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.
