Most people and religionists today including many modern theologians and ministers do not understand what was meant by a priest, who they were and what service they preformed for society. There are men all around that still provide the same services of the priests of old but you no longer call them priests nor even ministers.

As a matter of fact you do not find them in what you call church today. You find those administers in government buildings which makes perfect sense because the early church was “one form of government” too.

You see although the word religion is defined today as what you think about a supreme being, just two hundred years ago religion was defined as the performance of your duty to God and your fellowman. That duty included coming to your neighbor's aid in time of trouble.

The Church use to take care of the needy of society by charity to the ministers of the Church who used those funds in a Daily ministration from house to house. In fact this is the very definition of Pure Religion. This is why Jesus told us stories about good Samaritans and condemned the Corban of the Pharisees.

The Church was appointed by Christ and its called out ministers were its public servants. These ministers formed a body politic, one form of government.[1]

They could not exercise authority over the people like the Benefactors of other governments but depended upon the people for free will offerings to provide for the people according to their needs. In other words God taxed the people in their hearts and minds and through charity that government was supported by their freewill offerings.

The Temples of governments back then hated Christians and accused them of robbing them because the most generous givers moved to The Way of Christ as it was more fruitful.

Today's priests and administers work at the welfare office and social security and run the schools of modern government just like they did in the government Temples of Rome.

Meant to be Priest to All Nations

All nations knew that the care of the afflicted was essential to create the bonds of society. To aid a fallen comrade in arms or in life has always been a social obligation of honor. Cain, Lemech, Nimrod, Pharoahs and Caesars of the world had one way and Abel, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, the Prophets and Jesus had another.

All those who know the LORD should know that God wants you to care for the needy by love, and there is no love without choice. The right to choose is the liberty endowed by God. God's "way" has always been by Freewill offerings through a network of national servants like the Levites in the days of Moses[2] and to the international dispersed ministers of the Church in the days of Jesus Christ and His Church.[3]

It was one of the major jobs of the Levites to attend to the business of social welfare and those who have the heart of God would easily see this in the Biblical text.[4]

The tithe given to the Levites was in support of their government, for there were no kings in Israel. The people supported the Levites and funded their mission the same as taxes do today. Their mission was not like the other nations, but to "all nations", which is seen as the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. Taxes pay for the everyday administration of the people who provide service of the government. They even supply aid for foreign nations also, like the Red Heifer sacrifice.

  • "The Levites did everything from attending the tabernacle/temple, judging disputes, diagnosing illnesses, being the judicial system, etc. The Levites also operated their ‘social welfare’ system from the tithe money, when necessary."[5]

In effect they were tending to the Weightier matters, including judicial and legal appeals, as well as health, education and welfare.

People debate whether or not we should tithe in the New Testament Church. If you do not tithe, how will your society provide those essential services? The answer is taxes, which is tribute. This is why the Slothful should be under tribute. It is because they choose not to provide for those Weightier matters of Christ through Freewill offerings.

  • "The so called Levite tithe... was to be contributed annually, according to Numbers 18: 20-32;[6] according to Deuteronomy 14:28-29[7] and 26:12-15[8] the term was to be only every three years and to the priests. The texts cited show very clearly that from the outset, it was a matter of social-welfare contributions."

The Library of Qumran: On the Essenes, Qumran, John the Baptist, and Jesus, By Hartmut Stegemann

  • "For Israel, the practice of social welfare is about choosing not to be like Pharaoh and choosing to follow God." God, Justice, and Society: Aspects of Law and Legality in the Bible By Jonathan Burnside

Most citizens of nations pay far more than the 20% required by Egypt through their Corvee system of their yearly service to their government, yet they do not want to call it the Bondage of Egypt, but freedom.

Corban was always social welfare funds used at the discretion of the Levites. The better they did, the more people gave, but if the people did not freely give, neither would the Father in heaven bless them.

God's government was not dependent on the ownership of land but on the faithfulness of the People. In truth, God's government was to show all nations that the ways of love and charity were the best ways to govern a nation. All nations had to be both forgiving and generous to remain a free nation. The same responsibility of being a priest to all nations and to the faithful was true with the early Church which worked daily in the temple [9] and spread the message of righteousness and the Perfect law of liberty.
