Gleaners

The free "Bread and circuses" or panem et circenses of the Roman Empire was a part of the Public religion of the state which provided common welfare for the people.
Those government benefits from the Fathers of Rome who called themselves benefactors but exercised authority to provide those wages of unrighteousness through force rather than charity conflicted with the teachings of Jesus and the message of Christ who provide His Flesh and blood through a daily ministration of righteousness and love through the clergy of Christ and the love for one another through a network of charity and hope.

Gleaning

Gleaners is a network of people tapping resources to gather food for the truly needy of society.

• Leviticus 19:9-10 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.

Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996. An act To encourage the donation of food and grocery products to nonprofit organizations for distribution to needy individuals by giving the Model Good Samaritan Food Donation Act the full force and effect of law.

This bill makes it easier to donate food by allowing donor liability only in cases of gross negligence.

But gleaning is the opposite of the welfare State. It included allowing the poor a way of moving in the direction of responsibility where the people chose to share their surplus.

The modern welfare State has nothing in common with the gleaning of the Old Testament and everything to do with the tables of covetous practices which are a snare.

Paul was quoting David when he wrote in Romans 11:9 "And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"

David had said in Psalm 69:22 "Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap."

David made it clear the people would become blind by that covetous table.

Psalms 69:23 [[Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake."

Of course this why the Pharisees sat in darkness and did not recognize Jesus. They no longer understood Moses and what gleaning meant.

When America shifted to a welfare State under presidents like FDR an LBJ that was not a New Deal but the old deal of Nimrod, Cain and brought the bondage of Egypt, making the word of God to none effect.

America and the whole world turned their back on the righteousness of Christ and His Gospel of the kingdom and sought the benefits of the men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

Those covetouse practices make men merchandise and curse children just as Peter warned.

All this because the people had an appetite for the dainties of rulers and followed blind guides and their brutish pastors who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

Told from the beginning

• We were told from the beginning that the slothful shall be under tribute and that through "covetous practices" we would be made "merchandise" and would curse our children as a 'surety' for debt in a snare, being entangled in a yoke of bondage under the taxation of the world.
• There are few more covetous practices than socialism and the world has been becoming more and more socialist every year. The modern Christian and their Churches are in conflict with Christ and His Church because they are biting one another, serving the Fathers of the earth, and praying to the Benefactors who are exercising authority over one another.
• Christ commanded we turn away from the covetous practices of the world to a daily ministration of sacrifice through faith, hope, and charity like the early Church rather than the ways of force, fear, and fealty of the world of Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, the Pharisees, and Caesar.
• The modern Christian has pursued the same Corban of social welfare which made the word of God to none effect like the Pharisees did. Since they have abandoned The Way of the early Church for the wages of unrighteousness becoming workers of iniquity they need to be subject to tribute.
