The table of men

The tables of men who exercise authority has been called a "snare" by both David and Paul or Polybius and Plutarch and is found among all the warnings of the prophets and apostles throughout history.

Nothing will stir the angry ardor and abhorrence of those of the system of the world of the welfare state more than the suggestion there is something wrong with the gifts of the State and that we should be in rejection of those benefits. The idea that we should not have an appetite for those benefits is clearly stated in Proverbs and by the prophets.

To say in a pristine and orderly hospital, "I am the Father and I have taken responsibility for this Child" can stir a great wrath from many within those sacred chambers and send waves of stirring reality rippling through those hollowed halls.

The Latin word pater means father. As we have seen the word was used as a title of the Emperor and before him the pro council was referred to as the father of the senate and therefore the Empire. Pater or patri was also an address in reference to the Senators of Rome. The Roman's developed an elected congress to introduce the proposed bills for the enfranchised citizenry who were subject to the statutes of men. This congress was called patres consritpi, the conscripted fathers [see Citizen vs. Citizen].

We can assume that the people of the Roman Empire when they heard the word pater thought of one of several ideas. Either they were talking about their genetic father and their Creator Father in heaven, or their substitute fathers in Rome.

Jesus said, “And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9)

To make such a statement was a shock to those who thought man's governments and the Roman political and judicial system, with its peace and commerce, was good for society and the business of men. This would be like saying call no man on earth president or senator or congressman.

In that Greek text of Matthew we find the word Pater meaning father in the Latin. When Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world he did not use the Greek word for earth or planet or inhabited places or age that are also translated into world. The word world there is kosmos “meaning a harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government”.

This was a jurisdictional statement. To call no man father was a jurisdictional statement. To be baptized was a jurisdictional event of allegiance. To worship is an act of homage to a lord or King. Jesus did not preach the religion of heaven but the kingdom.

But when the Church did not do the job of Daily ministration the people might turn to civil Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other. But when the Church leas the people by applying to these Fathers of the earth then the Church takes the name of the Lord in vain.

The Church of Constantine gave power to men like Cain, Nimrod and FDR. This made them dependent upon those benefits. Those Benefactors who exercise authority would eventually turn on the Church who crowned these men as kings over the people. We have to look no further than 2 Samuel 8 to see that the establishment of rulers over men is the result of a rejection of God.

Even Lady Godiva opposed this concept because she knew it would drive a wedge into the heart of all Christian communities and the whole of society.

This idea of a church supported by compelled taxes or men who ruled has been one of the great temptations that face those who would dare to follow Christ. From Cain to Constantine men have sat and ate with kings to their detriment. Before 1776 Congregationalists and Anglicans had received public financial support. They called their state Benefactors "nursing fathers" in opposition to the very instructions of Christ concerning calling men Fathers and even prayer. This false Church policy cannot be justified by Isaiah 49:23.

These apostate Churches take the name of Christ in vain and claiming to be His Church. They continue this false religious practice of applying to the Nimrods of the world for benefits in early America. In Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire passed "general assessment schemes". They imposed what they called religious taxes upon all citizens, who then had the option of designating their share to the church of his choice.

There was opposition to this Covetous Practices by men like Isaac Backus who declared their should be a separation of Church and State and that "True religion is a voluntary obedience unto God."

Today the "general assessment schemes" have simply bypassed an impotent and apostate Church all together by providing social welfare through the State almost exclusively. The vast bureaucracy and swarms of offices now eat out the substance of the people. Churches are not centers of a loving welfare serving society. They have become places of entertainment and delusion where your ears can be tickled for a price. The only thing that is truly sacrificed is the righteousness of God.

These Churches needs to Repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and began to attend 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.
