Claudevt: /* Delaying herd immunity */ Changed 'Exports' to Experts

[[File:fluvirus2.jpg|right|350px|thumb|It is estimated that 5% to 20% of the population get one of many strains of flu each year and show symptoms strong enough to realize that they have the flu and up to 200,000 are hospitalized from flu complications, with about 36,000 dying from those complications annually. Others get the flu and show no symptoms (asymptomatic) or their symptoms are so mild that they do not know that they were infected by a virus. For others, the symptoms could be so moderate that the individual never goes and gets diagnosed. We do not know how many people get the flu with no symptoms and receive a lifetime of immunity. But, we know that [[Vaccines#Did_a_Vaccine_Eradicate_Polio|95% of the people who contracted the Poliovirus never showed symptoms]] or they were so mild they never knew that it was polio yet became immune.<Ref>"children who contract polio generally suffer only mild symptoms, but as a result they become permanently immune to the disease." Yin-Murphy M, Almond JW (1996). et al. (eds.). Picornaviruses: The Enteroviruses: Polioviruses in: Baron's Medical Microbiology (4th ed.). Univ of Texas Medical Branch. ISBN 0-9631172-1-1. </Ref> ]]

== Coronavirus pandemic or just panic? ==

The current gamble seems to be to shut down the nation indefinitely to suppress a virus that is supposed to be especially deadly to some demographics and experts agree cannot be contained, only slowed.

By the Ides of March, 2020 "More than 99% of Italy’s [[coronavirus]] fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions, according to the country’s national health authority.”

[[File:Coronavirus-Deaths.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Average age of those that died are in their 80's and more than half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses. More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease. 300,000 people die every year from obesity. 647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year.]]

People seem to want to believe that if we merely quarantine sick people and those at risk, a “mitigation” strategy being used in Denmark, one computer model projects the U.S. death toll at about 2 million, again half from lack of ventilators, not depth of disease. But, the Hoover Institution's study and model, suggests “the total number of cases worldwide will peak out at well under one million, with the total number of deaths at under 50,000″ which is near the annual death rate due to flu in the United States.

So, what is the truth?

[[File:cdc1.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The number of 17 to 25 million people making medical visits is certainly not the number of cases because most people do not rush to the doctor when they get the flu. The estimate of 38 to 54 million cases is based on those who will show symptoms of the flu and those who go to the doctor. Coronavirus confirmed cases as of March 25 were 64,765 with 910 deaths (Death rate of 1.4%). Since we know that half the people who get this Covid 19 flu show no symptoms and the half that do show symptoms only have ''mild to moderate symptoms'', the true number of cases of people who have already had this flu and are now immune is likely more than the most conservative number of at least 129,000 people in America (Death rate .7%). Until they can actually [[Coronavirus#The_Test|test for the RNA]] of the virus or better the antigens<Ref>An antigen is a toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies. Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each antigen has distinct surface features, or epitopes, resulting in specific responses.

Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.</Ref> that show you are now immune there is no way to actually know those already immune or if the numbers have already reached [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]]. It is very possible a million people have already been exposed which would bring the death rate down to .09% or lower. The sharp drop of new cases in China with over a billion people is evidence this may be occurring. [[Coronavirus#Delaying_herd_immunity|Delaying herd immunity]] is not good but destroying the economic stability of millions of families may be worse. Why the CDC does not accurately factor that into their estimates only they can explain. We know that [[Vaccines#Did_a_Vaccine_Eradicate_Polio|95% of the people who contracted Poliovirus never showed symptoms so most people did not need the vaccination]] when it came out because they were already immune.]]

'''John P.A. Ioannidis''', a professor of medicine, epidemiology, and statistics at Stanford University and co-director of Stanford’s Meta-Research Innovation Center.
<blockquote>
"If we assume that case fatality rate among individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 is 0.3% in the general population — a mid-range guess from the Diamond Princess analysis — and that 1% of the U.S. population gets infected (about 3.3 million people), this would translate to about 10,000 deaths."
</blockquote>

=== News from the Princess ===

'''Professor John Ioannidis's''' data might allow an estimated of a .3% death rate which contradicts [[Coronavirus#Backtracking|Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson]]'s data which everyone has been pushed to accept as gospel. But many of the studies admit there are ''data limitations''.

On the ''Diamond Princess'' cruise ship their laboratory tests were primarily PCR tests<Ref name="pcr"></Ref> that were "conducted focusing on ''symptomatic cases'' especially at the early phase of the quarantine. If asymptomatic cases were missed as a result of this, it would mean we have underestimated the asymptomatic proportion."<Ref name="Diamond"> ''Estimating the asymptomatic proportion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship, Yokohama, Japan, 2020'' Kenji Mizumoto1, Katsushi Kagaya, Alexander Zarebski, Gerardo Chowell https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.10.2000180 </Ref>

There is a huge difference between calculating death rates using [[Coronavirus#Comparitive_Lies|"case" numbers verses "estimate" numbers of a disease]]. You cannot compare the two without misleading people. If you are a professional and you do then you are lying. "As of February 20, tests of most of the 3,711 people aboard the [[Coronavirus#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princess]] confirmed that 634, or 17 percent, had the virus; 328 of them did not have symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Of those with symptoms, the fatality ratio was 1.9 percent, Russell and colleagues calculate. Of all infected, that ratio was 0.91 percent. Those 70 and older were most vulnerable, with an overall fatality ratio of about 7.3 percent."<Ref name="Saey">[https://www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-outbreak-diamond-princess-cruise-ship-death-rate Cruise ship outbreak helps pin down how deadly the new coronavirus is - Outcomes suggest that, in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19 infections in China end in death] By Tina Hesman Saey, MARCH 12, 2020 </Ref> But if you calculate the death rate of the Covid-19 based on actual infections even amongst a population of people over 60 who are the most vulnerable that makes the death rate "in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19".<Ref name="Saey"></Ref>

The passengers and crew of the Diamond Princes were not a random sample but the passengers were mostly over 60, which may "lead to underestimation"<Ref name="Diamond"></Ref> of the natural true asymptomatic portion of society. Even with the high age factor the death rate onboard was only 0.5 percent or less. If anyone factored in that everyone under 40 including small children have generally produced a percentage of .2% The death rate comes closer to the estimate of '''Professor John Ioannidis'''.

We cannot forget those pre-existing conditions that account for the vast majority of cases that show symptoms are found generally in the older population.

So, it is reasonable, considering the track record of COVID-19, that the presence of symptoms "may correlate with other factors unrelated to age including prior health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and/or immunosuppression."<Ref name="Diamond"></Ref>

Reports from the Diamond Princess cruise ship should make it clear that the virus is highly contagious<Ref name="contagious">Factors of contagious spread ar R0 and SI. R0 is pronounced “R naught.” The formal definition of a disease's R0 is the number of cases, on average, an infected person will cause during their infectious period. R0 value only applies when everyone in a population is completely vulnerable to the disease. The new coronavirus has an estimated R0 of roughly 2 to 2.5 with Fergison estimating 3.1 and some as high as 3.58 with an 8-fold to 2-fold increase in the reporting rate. This number will immediately decrease as society moves toward ''heard immunity'' until this disease can no longer spread through the population. The '''serial interval''' (SI) of an infectious disease represents the duration between symptom onset of a primary case and symptom onset of its secondary cases. Estimates for coronavirus have ranged from 4.4 days to 7.6. The estimated ''serial intervals'' as an example have been calculated for influenza A(H3N2) (2.2 days), pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (2.8 days), respiratory syncytial virus (7.5 days), measles (11.7 days), varicella (14.0 days), smallpox (17.7 days), mumps (18.0 days), rubella (18.3 days), and pertussis (22.8 days). </Ref> under ship conditions but we also know that many people, though they get the virus, show little or no symptoms. A "substantial fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals are asymptomatic"<Ref name="Diamond "></Ref> which had also been verified with higher numbers in a Japanese study.

=== Silent Cure ===

Anywhere from 80 percent of infections in adults to 95 percent of infections in children that are observed or detected appear to be mild to moderate cases overcome in about two weeks with rest at home. Since death rates are calculated only from those who get severely ill and are tested, we can assume the death rate from this virus is actually much lower. If we take in the high rate of asymptomatic individuals that we see in the Princess analysis and other broader examinations no one knows how many people or the rate they are being infected but recovering. That would infer that no one knows the actual death rate which seems far lower than some of the models.

As fast as it is spreading, we can assume that society is well on its way to "[[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]]" which is the best way to reach maximum protection of society. A [[vaccines|vaccine]] cannot accomplish that and a quarantine of society only delays the natural process of the society obtaining herd immunity.

So many people have likely been exposed and recovered and are now immune. Why are we risking a wrecked economy and [[welfare]] expansions beyond [[FDR]]’s wildest dreams?

'''Richard Epstein''' at the Hoover Institution writes of '''serious flaws in predictions''' of 1 million or more Americans dead from [[coronavirus]]:

<blockquote>
* “Clearly, the impact on elderly and immunocompromised individuals is severe, with nearly 90% of total deaths coming from individuals 60 and over. But these data do not call for shutting down all public and private facilities given the extraordinarily low rates of death in the population under 50.”
* “Of course, every life lost is a tragedy…but those deaths stemming from the coronavirus are not more tragic than others, so that the same social calculus applies here that should apply in other cases... A Depression Will Ruin 330 Million Lives, Not 4 Million.”
</blockquote>

Victor Davis Hanson was a professor of classics at California State University, Fresno, and is currently the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. He has been a visiting professor at Hillsdale College since 2004. He suggests that:

<blockquote>
“[T]he massive curtailments of the U.S. economy can have as many health consequences as the virus itself—if millions lose income and jobs, become depressed in self-isolation, increase smoking, and drug and alcohol use, and postpone out of fear necessary buying and visits to doctors and hospitals for chronic and serious medical conditions unrelated to the virus...”
</blockquote>

=== Backtracking ===

By March 26 after the world economy has almost entirely shut down, millions of people ending up unemployed, hundreds of thousands of people losing their business and suffering hardships, an increase in suicides, the list goes on. But now Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson is downgrading his original estimates for many of the same reasons we have already shared on our '''[[network]]'''. He reduced the number of expected deaths from 2.2 million people in the United States and 500,000 in the U.K. to a fraction of what he originally predicted. Now, this expert epidemiologist tells the British government that hospitals will be just fine taking on COVID-19 patients and he estimates "20,000 or far fewer people will die" from the virus itself or from its agitation of other ailments, as reported by New Scientist the day before.

From the beginning, hundreds of epidemiologists and doctors were saying this flu, while more contagious,<Ref name="contagious"></Ref> would not reach Ferguson's frightening numbers. And many published prediction models have been far closer to the truth. But they were not invited into the media so most people have only heard the hype. Their low number predictions are coming true while Ferguson backpedals. But the damage is done.

What can we learn?

Ferguson would eventually backtrack on his downgraded prediction saying that the new numbers are only the result of social spacing and the shutdown. This, of course, contradicts what he said about the numbers ''revealing that far more people likely have the virus than his team figured''.

When Ferguson lowered his estimates to a fraction of the original panicking numbers, he stated, “What we’ve been seeing, though, in Europe in the last week or two is a rate of growth of the epidemic which was faster than we expected from early data in China. And so we are revising our quotes... we should have been looking at previously.”

The "early data in China" did not factor in the mild symptoms or the numerous asymptotic people that included more than half of the passengers on the cruise ship, the [[Coronavirus#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princess]], nor have they considered the millions of people with symptoms so mild or moderate they never thought they had this particular flu.

=== Gupta on the Silent Cure ===

'''Professor Sanjay Gupta''' with a research team at [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]] suggests that the virus had been invisibly spreading for at least a month earlier than suspected, concluding that as many as half of the people in the United Kingdom have already been infected by COVID-19.

No one is ending this virus. It will still be around when people are let out again.

Remember they said these drastic measures were just to "slow" the spread of the virus.

Experts warned us that slowing the virus could be dangerous but for some reason they chose to cripple the economy. Why?

They kept telling us this was a "novel" virus and no one is immune. What they did not tell you is there are new viruses every year and have been for decades and centuries. Yet, we become immune, or enough us do to protect society. Our bodies do so naturally if we let it.

=== The case of the missing estimate ===

Many people are beginning to do the math and [[Coronavirus#Comparitive_Lies|some journalist are saying we are being lied to.]]

'''Clive Cookson, Science Editor''' MARCH 24 2020 announced in his story '''"Coronavirus may have infected half of UK population — '''[[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]]''' "where he reveals that a "New epidemiological model suggests the vast majority of people suffer little or no illness."<Ref>https://www.ft.com/content/5ff6469a-6dd8-11ea-89df-41bea055720b</Ref> Herd immunity equates to anything over 60%.

The UK population is over 67,530,172 and halving that suggests 33,765,086 people already have or have had the virus.

After '''[[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]]''' announced on March 17th they believd more than half of the UK already had the virus only there were only 14,543 cases that had been counted with deaths numbering at 759.

That would make the actual death rate only 0.00002% for 33,765,086 million people who had mild cases and possibly showed little or even zero symptoms.

Of course, more deaths will come as those who are seriously ill may succumb. We can now see 15 days later the numbers changed.

The United Kingdom had 38,868 confirmed cases on April 3.

But of course, the actual number of people who have contracted COVID 19 has also been increasing too over the 33,700,000 estimated by '''[[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]]''' scholars.

Official sources tell us that 208 seriously ill patients have recovered. But that is deceptive because according to Oxford scientists who have been testing for the actual antibodies a clearer picture is provided to the public when they are also told that more than 33,700,000 people have recovered with their own antibodies protecting them from getting ill or spreading the virus.

At the same time the number of deaths has reached 3,611. Using that number from April 3 and Oxford estimate from March 17th for estimated cases of COVID 19 the death rate still calculates out to 0.0001. The average death rate for the annual seasonal flu is 0.1.

So, we all need to ask the question of ''why has almost the whole world economy has been shut down?''

We also may want to ask rather than devastate the lives and the personal economies of millions of Americans and plunging the nation into trillions and trillions of dollars in debt was there something more practical to do?

Wouldn't it have been simpler to quarantine the people who are most vulnerable? You could have put them all in those private motels we have shut down and brought them room service from all those restaurants we closed. That all could have been done for a fraction of the cost.

If you ponder the facts rather than run behind the media narrative you might be ready to ask more questions. Like is this corruption, conspiracy, or incompetence? Or is their more going on than we know?

The [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]] contradicts the Imperial College London model used by the UK government to develop policies to halt the crisis using social distancing.

* “I am surprised that there has been such unqualified acceptance of the Imperial model,” Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study, told the Financial Times.<Ref>[https://nypost.com/2020/03/24/coronavirus-may-have-already-infected-half-of-uk-study-says/ Coronavirus may have already infected half of UK, study says

Has Britain been allowing the virus to spread, while other countries have closed schools and implemented more drastic measures? The government is trying to build up [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]] to combat the infection. [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]] and London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) are said to agree with the British approach.<Ref>''Herd immunity'': [https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/herd-immunity-why-britain-is-actually-letting-the-coronavirus-spread-20200315-p54a5h.html Why Britain is actually letting the coronavirus spread] Sydney Morning Herald; 15/03/2020</Ref>

This massive but silent spread of immunity in the UK has certainly been going on in America too. They tell us to listen to the experts and then they only let you hear from the ones they want.

This "Silent Cure" has been taking society toward the ultimate goal of reaching the safety of [[Coronavirus#Delaying_herd_immunity|herd immunity]] as nature has done throughout the history of mankind.

For weeks we have been informing people on our '''[[network]]''' and those who listen to our [[Podcasts]] details based on all the reports that were coming out before the government began to shut down the economic lives of the people and the media began to panic the ''lemmings'' of society.

So have the governments of the world failed to listen to all the expert analysts that were giving drastically different numbers? Has the media struck fear into the people to cause panic? Is their more to these events than what the people have been told? Did some people seize the opportunity to use this virus to cover the movement of trillions of dollars, the expansion of government powers, the doubling of the national debt, and to test the people's resistance to martial law? Are they done? Or is their more to come?

<center>'''"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." ~Rahm Emanuel'''</center>

== Delaying herd immunity ==

Should we be delaying [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]] by the drastic economic shutdown being imposed by the government?

Experts seem to agree that we should not but are often barred from major media until no one can hear the truth having [[Strong delusion|believed a lie]].

=== Professor Knut Wittkowski ===

{{#ev:youtube|lGC5sGdz4kg|300|right|Perspectives on the Pandemic Episode 2: In this explosive second edition of Perspectives on the Pandemic, Professor Knut Wittkowski, for twenty years head of The Rockefeller University's Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design, says that social distancing and lockdown is the absolutely worst way to deal with an airborne respiratory virus.
 Further, he offers data to show that China and South Korea had already reached their peak number of cases when they instituted their containment measures. In other words, nature had already achieved, or nearly achieved, herd immunity. [[Coronavirus#Perspectives on the Pandemic Part 1|Part 1]]. Time 41:30}}

'''Professor Knut Wittkowski''' is saying what many other accomplished Epidemiologists have been saying for years and we have been reporting since March. He warns against delaying [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]] and says there is no need for a vaccine. For most places, the epidemic is over and delaying it further will flatten the curve but will prolong the virus's presence in society and with this shut down will cause more deaths in the long run. We are guarantying a second wave with social distancings. Most people are probably immune already and the panic is causing shortages and will cause great damage to the whole of society. He says we '''"should be resisting"'''. Shutting down the schools was the worst thing to do. We should not have isolated the children but only the elderly and vulnerable. Americans are too docile and they need to ask their politicians real questions. '''"If people do not stand up for their rights their rights will be forgotten."'''

=== Rights Forgotten ===

{{#ev:youtube|zVWgXJDBH6Y|300|right| Governor Kristi Noem, “My responsibility is to respect the rights of the people who elected me, and to manage our state operations in a way that reflects the realities of what we have here on the ground here.

'''"If people do not stand up for their rights their rights will be forgotten."''' Professor Knut Wittkowski. Time 4:00}}

We need to look at real data to know what to ask those who are trying to lead us through the media madness or political agendas of the [[world]]. The issue of [[vaccines]] was also addressed by [[Coronavirus#Professor_Knut_Wittkowski|Professor Wittkowski]]. If most of us are immune why should anyone be forced to get vaccinated? If natural immunity for the majority of the population is already present could vaccinations do more harm than good?

If you have a right to [[Declaration_of_Independence|"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"]] given to you by God how come a government has the right to take those rights away?

Americans need to listen to other qualified experts who are giving us a better and broader ''perspective'' to truly understand this virus or any virus. If we are to promote a healthier society we need to understand how society works and what makes us healthy and what seems to make us sick.

Don't be a lemming be a learner. Study to seek the truth in all things.

The [[Constitution]] is the law governing the government. It could only be written after the [[Declaration of Independence]] which states, ''"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."''

The shutdown, according to the experts, is effecting our "Safety and Happiness". Taking away the livelihood of individuals and their right to assemble, or pursue happiness or even to live is common in under [[socialism]] and [[communism]] but in the past, it has been considered unAmerican.

What has changed in America? What has been changed in us?

[[Polybius]] said before the death of the [[Republic]] of [[Rome]]:

<blockquote>
{{masses}}
</blockquote>

If these quarantine measures are making things worse what should we really be done?

“Graham Medley from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who chairs a group of scientists who model the spread of infectious diseases and advise the government on pandemic responses, says that the actual goal is the same as that of other countries: flatten the curve by staggering the onset of infections. As a consequence, the nation may achieve herd immunity; it's a side effect, not an aim.”<Ref>March 20, 2020 https://www.zdnet.com/article/7-crisis-management-tips-for-small-businesses/</Ref>

But according to Thomas House, “The current coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19 [2020-03-14 ]) has raised questions about [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]], social distancing measures, and the relationship between these.” “In fact, the later intervention dramatically reduces the burden on the healthcare system, cutting in half the maximum numbers ill and potentially needing treatment at any one time, and significantly reduces the final number infected, which the earlier interventions fail to do.”

“The reason that this happens is that social distancing measures do not lead to [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]], so once they are lifted the epidemic starts again.”<Ref>[https://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/thomas.house/blog/modelling-herd-immunity.html Modelling Herd Immunity]</Ref>

There is a need to develop herd immunity rather than shutting down the economic livelihood of society at the devastation of millions of families and [[curse children|cursing our children]] with eternal debt.

* '''"We think this virus is likely to be one that comes year on year ... like a seasonal virus ... Communities will become immune to it and that's going to be an important part of controlling this longer term."''' Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief scientific adviser.

=== Antibodies of the Coronavirus ===

In one interview with James Walsh, Pulitzer-winning infectious disease reporter Laurie Garrett explained the necessity of antibody tests:
* "If we had this antibody test, we can go around randomly selecting people in New York City and find out how many New Yorkers, including right now, have had this virus in their bodies."<Ref>[https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/03/why-testing-for-coronavirus-antibodies-will-matter.html ‘We’re Flying Blind’: Why Testing for Coronavirus Antibodies Will Matter] New York Magazine, March 22, 2020</Ref>

Other experts are saying the same thing because they know that natural [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]] is essential to good societal health:
* "Johnson's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, who along with chief medical officer Chris Whitty has been entrusted by the government to manage the spread of virus, says between 60 to 70 per cent of the population would need to be infected to achieve [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]]." <Ref>[https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/herd-immunity-why-britain-is-actually-letting-the-coronavirus-spread-20200315-p54a5h.html Why Britain is actually letting the coronavirus spread] Sydney Morning Herald; 15/03/2020</Ref>

[[Vaccines]] generally only give temporary immunity. If more half the population of the UK is already immune there is little need for a vaccine and opening the economy can begin immediately. It also means all the projected numbers of vast hospitalization is completely bogus. The other 30 million Brits would only produce at the most 14,000 more cases with far less national deaths numbering at less than 1500 and not the 20,000 revised figure of Ferguson nor his outlandish original of 500,000.

The slow down of the spread of the virus may not be because of the ''shutdown and social spacing'' but the fact that the people are reaching [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]]. Remember '''Correlation is not Causation.'''

The only way to know for sure is to begin to randomly testing the populations for '''antibodies of the [[Coronavirus]]'''.<Ref>[https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.24.20042291v1 Fundamental principles of epidemic spread highlight the immediate need for large-scale serological surveys to assess the stage of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic]
</Ref>

Professor Trudie Lang, of the Global Health Network at the University of [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]], said that the latest test for COVID-19 works by detecting the vital antibodies which “will demonstrate if your immune system has cleared the infection...It’s very unlikely you can get the virus again.” <Ref>[http://www.ox.ac.uk/coronavirus-research/media Fears social distancing could last up to a year]</Ref>

Other countries are working on tests for antibodies. We know that the PCR or RT-PCR test<Ref name="pcr">PCR or RT-PCR test is only measuring the presence of the [ribonucleic acid, or RNA] of a virus or fungus or bacteria in the host of the human sample.

It is used as a diagnostic tool for detecting infectious agents such as the avian flu virus and 2019-nCoV.</Ref> is inaccurate by itself for identifying a specific virus or those infected.

Numerous teams in numerous countries have developed the equipment for a test for the Coronavirus and the Antibodies of the Coronavirus in early March and have already been testing in [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]], UK, and [[Coronavirus#Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital|Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital]] in New York. They can test a patient with results in six minutes. If people in the governments of the world care about the people and the economy by which they sustain their ''"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"'' they will make an antibody test the priority.

There will be a drawback to this commonsense approach. If it is discovered that 60 to 70 percent of the people are immune already or quickly approaching that [[Vaccines#Herd_immunity|herd immunity]], as [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]]and LSE agree, then a vaccine will not be as important or needed. This means millions of dollars will not be made by pharmaceutical companies, nor will they be able to claim credit for saving the people when in fact the people already saved themselves because of their robust immune systems. Pharmaceutical companies and developers of [[vaccines]] have no interest and certainly no financial incentive in finding out that society is again becoming immune without them.

== The Test ==

David Crowe, an expert in global infections such as SARS, Ebola, and flu, sees the [[coronavirus]] panic as an irrational panic, based on an unproven RNA test called “polymerase chain reaction” (PCR).<Ref name="pcr"></Ref>

* "The coronavirus test is based on PCR,<Ref name="pcr"></Ref> a manufacturing technique. When used as a test, it does not produce a positive/negative [actually this would be better described as "presence or absence" of the amplified gene product] result, but simply the number of cycles required to detect genetic material. The division between positive and negative is an arbitrary number of cycles chosen by the testers. If positive means infected and negative means uninfected, then there are cases of people going from infected to uninfected and back to infected again in a couple of days."
* "The world is suffering from a massive delusion based on the belief that a test for RNA is a test for a deadly new virus... but that is not proof that the RNA is from a virus. Without purification and characterization of virus particles, it cannot be accepted that an RNA test is proof that a virus is present."

A new scientific paper (citation) has calculated the false positive rate with the PCR Test<Ref name="pcr"></Ref> for asymptomatic patients at 80%! The data is little more than a guess and the statics tell you nothing since so many people without symptoms or mild cases are never even tested with any test nor counted when estimating death rates.

Everyone wants to believe testing settles the issue as to being infected or not. An accurate dependable test that is virus-specific is still in development. Without purification and characterization of virus particles of the RNA there is no proof that a virus is present. The common PCR<Ref name="pcr"></Ref> test (polymerase chain reaction) gives many false positives and is not RNA specific. If you're sick stay home, avoid contact, treat as most flu infection or call your health provider.

== Political Backpedaling ==

Governor Cuomo is backtracking on the shutdown policy with his statement, “If you rethought that or had time to analyze that public health strategy, I don’t know that you would say quarantine everyone. I don’t even know that that was the best public health policy."<Ref name="aier">[https://www.aier.org/article/we-were-wrong-so-sorry-that-we-ruined-your-life/ We Were Wrong: So Sorry that We Ruined Your Life], Jeffrey A. Tucker, American Institute for Economic Research – March 28, 2020.</Ref>

Why is Cuomo changing his mind? Does he have information that is not yet released the public? Could this change of heart be because of new testing in New York, [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford]], and some locations in Europe? Because they can now test for the antibodies of the Coronavirus will we finally reveal the extent and truth about this professed pandemic?

They asked the question in Science magazine, "How many COVID-19 cases have gone undetected? And are those who had mild cases of the disease—perhaps so mild they dismissed it as a cold or allergies—immune to new infections? If so, they could slow the spread of the burgeoning pandemic."<Ref name="sciencemag">[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/new-blood-tests-antibodies-could-show-true-scale-coronavirus-pandemic New blood tests for antibodies could show the true scale of coronavirus pandemic] By Gretchen Vogel, American Association for the Advancement of Science. Mar. 19, 2020</Ref>

This new testing being used can identify the DNA of the virus and answer these question which the common PCR test (polymerase chain reaction), which is an RNA-based diagnostic test,<Ref name="pcr"></Ref> cannot answer. This new equipment can test a person’s blood for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2<Ref>the new virus known as ''severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2''.</Ref>. Such tests can detect active infections, too, but more importantly, they can tell whether a person has been infected in the past because the body retains antibodies against pathogens it has already overcome.

=== Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital ===

That is right. The ability to actually make these virus-specific tests was not available until the mid-March announcement. They certainly had to test the equipment locally where, "An expert team of researchers and clinicians in microbiology, virology, pathology, molecular science, and immunology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and The Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) have been working together around the clock to design, validate, and implement an “end-to-end” clinical pathology laboratory solution that will allow for the testing of approximately several hundred people per day in order to rapidly diagnose and help guide the selection of treatment and monitor disease course."<Ref>[https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/2020/mount-sinai-developing-an-end-to-end-diagnostics-solution-for-covid-19-that-incorporates-diagnosis-treatment-selection-and-monitoring-of-disease-course-pr Mount Sinai Developing an “End-to-End” Diagnostics Solution for COVID-19 That Incorporates Diagnosis, Treatment Selection, and Monitoring of Disease Course] New York, NY (March 23, 2020)</Ref>

During the ''validation'' process they had to be testing both ill patients and healthy people to determine if their new procedures were effective just like was being done in the UK with the [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]] team.

Reading the article and seeing the fact that they have been secretly testing already, could it be that they are already confirming [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]]'s projection that more than half of the UK is already immune and well on their way to herd immunity? Are they getting similar numbers testing American?

The article quoting Cuomo's shrouded confession talks about "other pieces of evidence", and "the number of people who are infected" being "much larger" "with few exceptions around the world":
* "At the same time, we have other pieces of evidence that the number of people who are infected is much larger compared with the number of cases we have documented. In most places, with few exceptions around the world, we are just testing people who have substantial symptoms who have come to seek health care or even to be hospitalized. These are just the tip of the iceberg."<Ref name="aier"></Ref>

Cuomo went on to say the following:
* “Young people then quarantined with older people was probably not the best public health strategy because the younger people could have been exposing the older people to an infection."<Ref name="aier"></Ref>

Cuomo at this point knows that people, especially young people, can have the virus with no symptoms. Of course, we have been saying this for months which was confirmed by the earliest analysis from the [[#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princess cruise]].

Cuomo further stated that:

* “What we did was we closed everything down. That was our public health strategy. Just close everything, all businesses, old workers, young people, old people, short people, tall people. Every school closed, everything.”<Ref name="aier"></Ref>

The well-written article, worth reading entirely, written by [https://www.aier.org/staff/jeffrey-tucker/ Jeffrey A. Tucker] also states, "It’s true that anyone following the unfolding fiasco and the gradually emerging data behind it knows that Cuomo is right. The response has not been modern and scientific. It has been medieval and mystical. The theory behind the policy has been nothing but a panicked cry of run and hide before the noxious gas gets you. Lacking reliable data – which is the fault of the CDC and FDA – we replaced knowledge with power."<Ref name="aier"></Ref>

I agree entirely with Jeffrey except for the part about "fault". Blame is not like pie. You do not divide it up in shares. The CDC, FDA, CNN, ABC, Fox and all the media carry their burden of personal blame from 100% of their own lack of perception, integrity, due diligence, and honesty. Every politician and their incompetent advisors must also carry the blame in what has become a fiasco of foolish panic.

But most of all in the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the people must take their own blame. ''They have given the power'' to their government leaders, to the talking heads of the media and to the puppet masters behind them. They have also ''given power'' to men in white coats, and letters after their names. They gave power to men with labels like "expert" paraded by the media across the screens of their electronic devices.

Now as it has been revealed that they ''ate the cheese'' and accepted the ''fake news'' that ''the sky was falling'', and a plague was going to kill us all when the truth was available to journalists, advisors, politicians and even the people if they had the honesty, fortitude, industry, and spirit to pursue the truth. But isn't that pursuit included in the command to [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]]?

If the ''evidence'' Cuomo speaks of and suggested by the teams at[[Coronavirus#Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital|Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital]], [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]], and other research teams ''around the world'' is shared with the people some will begin to realize that society can become immune to new diseases naturally through herd immunity. They may also realize that they should stop putting too much "faith" and "power in the hands of the government and the media.

There are elements of society that would like to keep this information from the people because with the people's ignorance and apathy men are allowed to seek power.

Cuomo says he cannot believe the president just extended the quarantine that shortly before Cuomo thought was a good idea.
* “I don’t believe that he could be serious, that any federal administration could be serious about a physical lockdown of states or parts of states across this country,” Cuomo continued. “I don’t believe it is legal. I think it would be economic chaos. I don’t think the American people would stand for it. It’s just a question of time before you see the numbers growing in hot spots across the nation. So, I think it makes absolutely no sense and I don’t believe any serious governmental personality or professional would support it.”<Ref name="war">[https://www.dailywire.com/news/governor-cuomo-trump-quarantining-new-york-to-stop-coronavirus-is-declaration-of-war-on-new-york Governor Cuomo: Trump Quarantining New York To Stop Coronavirus Is ‘Declaration Of War’ On New York, By Daily Wire News. MARCH 28TH, 2020.]</Ref>

Even though Cuomo and everyone else were saying a few weeks ago ''shut it down'' now he is criticizing Trump for extending the quarantine, even threatening to sue President.
* “I’ve sued the federal government many times by the way over the past few years, we’ve had quite a number of policy decisions,”<Ref name="war"></Ref>

Again, why was he so adamant about shutting everything down and now thinks it makes "no sense"?
* "So, I think it makes absolutely no sense and I don’t believe any serious governmental personality or professional would support it.” <Ref name="war"> </Ref>

Is Cuomo sharing Mt Sinai's new ''evidence'' and test results from Mt Sinai with the president and his advisors or is he baiting the president as a political rival?
* “Look, if the president was considering this, I guarantee he would have called me. I mean, we talk about relatively trivial matters when it comes to dealing with this situation,” Cuomo said. This is a civil war kind of — this is civil war kind of discussion.”<Ref name="war"></Ref>

I do not care about their politics, only the truth because the truth, whatever it is, will set you free.

=== Where is wisdom ===

Why are so many willing to plunge the nation, and even the world, into a depression that kills many businesses and shoves millions onto [[welfare]] for what could be the next several generations?

Banks are closing their doors, changing their rules, removing longstanding safeguards and controls. Cash is rejected out of fear because it might carry a virus while the "printing presses" are fired up ushering in a future of inflation and a virtually cashless society.

Millions more will be transformed from productive workers to bitter takers, causing a faster implosion of our already mathematically impossible [[welfare]] state. In the subsequent depression, many people may die due to poverty, and despair with suicide rates and crime rising even higher.

Courts can now delay your trial for a year or more and your day in court facing your accuser can be before a video camera.

People are quarantined in their home by media hype, misinformation, politicians who do not respect the ''right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'' of the individual but only their own power. They are so drunk<ref>Isaiah 51:21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:</Ref> on the power and the vanity of their office they have become blind guides. People may claim to care about their personal loss of freedom but not the loss of their neighbors' liberty. They have given away their rights and power because of their own personal [[sloth]] in the love of [[righteousness]] and the [[avarice]] of the people in their personal desire for [[benefits]] and [[Social Security|security]].

The world has come to a place were doctors, bureaucrats and politicians casually talk about going house to house and taking out people who they say are infected and retaining them against their will under the guise of public safety. It seems to have worked so well to shut down the business, jobs, and livelihoods of the people by the millions with words of fear.

I have heard men and women say they would choose to get sick and die rather than take away the livelihoods of their children and the future of their grandchildren but they are few and far between.

Most of the people, having grown accustomed to feeding at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others are more than willing to institute the rule of violence. This, of course, is because they have had an [[appetite]] for [[benefits]] and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of [[force]] and violence through the power of men who [[exercise authority]] one over the other.

Christ preached the opposite of those [[covetous practices]] and condemned the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]]. This means that there is significant blame that can be placed on the [[modern Church]] which has failed and even refused to preach the whole [[Gospel of the kingdom]]. They have replaced [[the way]] of [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] with the [[fealty]], [[fear]], and [[force]]. They have abandoned the [[daily ministration]] of [[righteousness]] and [[love]] offered by the [[early Church]] who ''rightly divided bread from house to house'' for the [[wages of unrighteousness]] offered by the [[welfare]] state and became workers of iniquity getting the people to believe a lie for they have become the ''false prophet of the beast''.<Ref>Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
: Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
: Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.</Ref>

I do not know how this will all end but I know those who are willing to drink the blood of their neighbor or to take a [[bite]] of their neighbor will come to ''poverty''.<Ref>Proverbs 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.</Ref>

The [[flesh and blood]] of Christ is a product of [[charity]] and [[love]] while the sacrifices of the [[world]] which provide their [[free bread]] make you [[merchandise]] and [[curse children]].<Ref>Proverbs 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of [[violence]].</Ref>

* "Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out." Isaiah 51:17

== Comparitive Lies ==

UK’s Boris Johnson claimed to be ‘Furious’ With China’s Coronavirus ‘Disinformation Campaign’<Ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/uks-boris-johnson-furious-with-china-says-there-could-be-a-reckoning-for-chinas-coronavirus-disinformation-campaign</Ref> but what of the disinformation coming to the people through the government and promoted by the media. Boris went on to pledge a day of “reckoning”. But what of the disinformation right before us if we have ''eyes to see and ears to hear''. It has been steadily fed to the people by governments and the media. Disinformation is a politically polite word for misinformation or more precisely a lie.s. Certainly, there will be a day of reckoning for those who are to blame for lies.

{{#ev:youtube|ohO8eAwi_po|300|right|TRUTH: Seasonal FLU TWICE as Deadly as Coronavirus?Take a look at the numbers from the W.H.O. and in an “apples to apples” comparison, the Coronavirus has HALF the mortality rate of the seasonal flu when it comes to "death to confirmed cases" ratio. Time 11:58}}

The annual flu, according to the numbers, appears to be twice as deadly as the Covid-19. The death rate for the ''annual seasonal flu''<Ref>Every year there are a variety of flu viruses circulating through populations where people who have not come into contact with that flu may become ill for a few days. Because we can now test for antibodies there is scientific evidence many people become immune to disease and never appear to have been ill.

This is because of the use of "confirmed" numbers, often labeled as "Cases", to calculate the Covid-19 death rate is going to give you a different percent than if you use the total "estimated" numbers.

The video by Ben Swann shows the WHO, the CDC, journalists, and politicians been comparing "confirmed" numbers or "Cases" to the "estimated" numbers giving an incorrect comparison and advancing the idea that Covid-19 is more dangerous or deadly than the actual seasonal flu and causing a panic amongst people through an incompetent media void of responsible journalism.

Estimated numbers are available although they may vary because they are estimates. But we know from the [[Coronavirus#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princes]] analysis that even among people over 60 there was a large number of cases that were moderate to mild and even asymptomatic of COVID-19. As we have shown earlier in our analysis of the [[Coronavirus#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princes cruise data]]:

<blockquote>
There is a huge difference between calculating death rates using "case" numbers verses "estimate" numbers of a disease. You cannot compare the two without misleading people. If you are a professional and you do then you are lying. "As of February 20, tests of most of the 3,711 people aboard the [[Coronavirus#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princess]] confirmed that 634, or 17 percent, had the virus; 328 of them did not have symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Of those with symptoms, the fatality ratio was 1.9 percent, Russell and colleagues calculate. Of all infected, that ratio was 0.91 percent. Those 70 and older were most vulnerable, with an overall fatality ratio of about 7.3 percent."<Ref name="Saey">[https://www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-outbreak-diamond-princess-cruise-ship-death-rate Cruise ship outbreak helps pin down how deadly the new coronavirus is - Outcomes suggest that, in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19 infections in China end in death] By Tina Hesman Saey, MARCH 12, 2020 </Ref> But if you calculate the death rate of the Covid-19 based on actual infections even amongst a population of people over 60 who are the most vulnerable that makes the death rate "in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19".<Ref name="Saey"></Ref>
</blockquote>

Many hospitals also developed a policy of accepting and testing only severe cases and testing only those who were suffering difficulty breathing. That policy would also drive up the number of cases to deaths ratio and percent.

We were constantly being told that that COVID-19 was an unprecedented life-threatening virus to the whole of society when in fact it appears that it was the quite the opposite. Many of the facts were available if we looked closely and the truth was attainable as a simple grade-school math problem.

But the media worked its magic on the minds of the people who through the power of fear and suggestion fell pray to the ''Lemming Effect'' and mass hysteria. This allowed the governments of the world to lock down the people of the planet with little or no resistance and crash the personal economy of workers and small businesses by the billions.

We know CEO's and ''people in the know'' like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos sold off huge blocks of stocks shortly before this all began reaping huge profits with more to come.

We also know that members of the US legislature sold off millions of dollars in stocks shortly before the shutdown and the subsequent stock market crash. They and their friend are positioned to make more profit if they start buying just before the governments choose to turn the economy back on. Meanwhile, the people suffer and are drained of their own resources in one of the largest wealth transfer in history.

This has all been made possible by the irresponsible acts of the health institutions who should have known better than throughout to the public skewed numbers and false comparisons of the available data they are paid to analyze. There is certainly plenty of blame to be placed directly on the shoulders of the media who published and promoted this false erroneous narrative. Their relentless repetition has demonstrated the most incompetent journalism of this century and probably the last. And then there are the politicians, those who sought private profit, those who voted themselves a raise while taking away the right of the people to their own lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Instead of letting the people make their own choices as to how best to quarantine themselves when necessary or deal with the dangers and responsibility of providing for their own health and wellbeing they chose, with apparent impunity, to seize the lives and liberty of every American and squeeze. There, of course, is someone to blame for this tragic state of affairs, the people themselves.

But there is more because this has never really been about a flu virus but lies and why they were originally told.

== What is going on ==

Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., lead members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force addressing the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in the United States, evidently was aware that "If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%."<Ref>[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

Redfield, M.D. "If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."</Ref> This is less of a threat than the annual flu and he knew it at least back in February. He was in a position to calm the panic but instead chose to promote it by encouraging lies to be spread in the media as truth. Why?

The [[Coronavirus#The_Oxford_study|Oxford study]] team in the UK and the medical team at [[Coronavirus#Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital|Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital]] in New York have developed machines to test the blood of people and determine not only that they have the virus but if they have ever had it. It appears from the reports coming from their earliest testing and because people under 40 are far less symptomatic that the death rate of actual infections can be proven to be far less than 0.5 of seen on the [[Coronavirus#News_from_the_Princess|Diamond Princes cruise ship]] but more like 0.05 or even far lower. But the shutdown continues and has been extended even though this information is readily available. Even now executive orders are being signed to call up additional troops. What is going on?

Fringes

2019-08-30T01:20:59Z

Claudevt: Added word "are" to [if we clinging]

[[File:tzitzit.jpg|left|thumb|The Fringe, fringe? Tzitzit תציצ ]]
'''The Fringe Element'''

* ''Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe<Tzitzit תציצ > of the borders a ribband of blue:And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:'' Numbers 15:38-39

I was asked:

<blockquote>''I've been doing some study on the Tzitzits and whether it is a command to wear them if you are non-Jew. The Scripture seems to indicate wearing 4 of them, each corner of your garment, where they can be seen, every day,7 days a week other than sleep time. Any thoughts /your understanding of this would be much appreciated.''</blockquote>

By '''Tzitzits''' he means the תציצ or '''tzitzit''' or ''tsiytsith'' pronounced \@tsee-tseeth’ which we see in [[Numbers 15]]:38 as ''fringes'' or ''tassel'':
* ''Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:''

The word ''tzitzit'' <Ref>{{06734}}</Ref> is composed of four letters:

* צ ץ TZADIK The Faith of the Righteous One the foundation of the world "to hunt." [Harvest pant desire]90
* י YUD The Infinite Point of essential good hidden in the tet. [closed hand... Deed work to make]10
* צ ץ TZADIK The Faith of the Righteous One the foundation of the world "to hunt." [Harvest pant desire]90
* ת TAV Seal of Higher malchut to the keter (crown) through faith linking worlds. [sign cross... seal]400

The word ''tzitzit'' is from a word that is said to mean ''flower''.<Ref>{{06733}}</Ref>
Instead of ending in a Tav like the word ''tzitzit'' the word ''tzitzah'' ends in the letter Hey. This changes the meaning by adding and removing ideas contained in the letters.

The TAV Seal of Higher [[malchut]] to the keter (crown) through faith linking worlds. The letter Hey or ה HEI is connected to the Expression or Thought, Speech, Action. It has to do with the ''manifesting'' of things from seeds of thought and life.

If you remove the ending letter you end up with the root word tsiyts ץיצ.<Ref>{{06731}}</Ref>

The word is tsiyts ץיצ and is translated ''flower'' 10 times and ''plate'' 3 times and ''blossom'' once but also ''wings'' once. The word tsiyts ץיצ is a root word composed of three letters and produces the word ''tzitzit'' by adding the letter Tav which is the Mark of God and the letter that means ''[[Faith|faith]]''.

The word tsiyts ץיצ is also said to be from tsuwts ץוצ <Ref>{{06692}}</Ref> which while it has the same letters is assigned a different Strong's number. It is said to mean "to blossom, shine, sparkle" and is translated ''flourish'' five times, ''blossom'' twice, and ''bloomed'' and ''shewing'' once each.

[[File:Tzitzisknot.jpg|right|thumb|Are knots and string important to God or blossoms and fruit?]]Because most words in Hebrew have both a physical and an abstract meaning it is not difficult for the Sophist to unmoore the meaning of the word from the spiritual significance and get the humanist nature of man to focus on the form or ritual rather than its true meaning.

While the word ''tzitzit'' only appears a few times in the Bible<Ref>Numbers 15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes <[[06734]]> in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe <06734> of the borders a ribband of blue:
: Numbers 15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe <[[06734]]>, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
: Ezekiel 8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock <06734> of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.</Ref> there is another place we see what appears to be a call for ''fringes''. But another completely different word is used.

== Gidel ==

Gidel only appears as "fringe" once in [[Deuteronomy 22]]:12<Ref>Deuteronomy 22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes <[[01434]]> upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.</Ref> but also as the word ''wreath'' in [[1 Kings 7]]
<Ref>[[1 Kings 7]]:17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths <[[01434]]> of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.</Ref>

The word there is ''gedil'' לדג .<Ref>{{01434}}</Ref>

The three letters that produce this word ''fringe'' are Gimel Daleth Lamed:

* ג Gimel Reward and Punish, Cause and effect. Do to others as they should do. Camel[throwstick pride to lift up]3
* ד DALET Selflessness – Charity, back and forth (door) pathway enter... fish)4
* ל LAMED Aspiration of the Heart to learn or direct like a shepherd [Hand prod, staff, whip... tongue]30

These same letters produce several words from Strong's numbers 01431 to 1435 but it is said that these same letters are the root word of ''gadal'' לדג <Ref>{{01431}}</Ref> which all have a similar meaning ''to magnify'', ''make greater'', ''nourish up'', ''grow up'', etc..

All these words have a meaning of going from a ''blossom'' to ''a flower'' or ''nourishing up'' or ''making greater'' or ''growing''.

== The hassle with tassels ==

Is the text really talking about strings of fringe attached to your clothes?

Why blue thread and why four and what is meant by the corners?

Why were people to make [[altars]] of [[clay and stone]]?

Why were the people to weave the [[breeches]] of the [[Levites]]?

Why is the [[Sabbath]] so significant?

And why do we need to know the [[name]] of God when he actually did not have a name but was merely the existing one and Father of all reality?

If we were made in the image of God when we chose to decide for ourselves what was good and what was evil were we made in another image or at least altered by sin?

If we are to be brothers in Christ should we not do [[doctrines of Jesus|what he said]] and certainly what he [[commanded]]?

If we want to be Torah keepers are we sure we know what the Torah was telling us?

The [[Pharisees]] thought they knew but evidently missed it some how.

How do we [[repent]] and return to the [[Kingdom of God]]?

All the attributes of God must unfold in the heart, mind, and body of mankind as the blossom unfolds in a flower. Like pedals on a flower the ''Tzitzits'' has four fringes. Those fringes or tassels are only symbolic of those attributes of God that are manifested in the actions of Mankind.

This is why being a [[doer]] of the word is emphasized by [[Christ]] and the [[Apostles]]. We are [[warned]] by Jesus, the apostles and the prophets that if we are not [[doers]] of the word, ollowers the [[doctrines of Jesus]], add what he [[commanded]], then we are falling short and are in danger of being counted as [[workers of iniquity]]. It is the ''blossoming'' or the four [[fringes]] of our individual covering through or sincerity of our [[seek]]ing, striving, and perseverance that is key to the Malchut or [[Kingdom of God]]. It is not the rituals nor the intellectual Gnostic descriptions and certainly not the superficial interpretations of the precepts upon precepts of the ancient text.

: "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." [[Matthew 16]]:19

What we do or not do, what we desire or not desire is what binds us in and to the world.

If we couple those ideas with ''be fruitful and multiply'' or the parable of the ''[[talent]]s'' in [[Matthew 25]] where someone did nothing with what he had to cause an increase and was condemned for it. We should be able to see that it is more important to seek a nurturing approach of [[love]] and [[sacrifice]] in all things, in all directions of our life than to perform an external physical ritual. Are we under a [[strong delusion]] if we imagine our self justified by a ceremonial imitation and symbols rather than the blossoming of true [[righteousness]] in doing what the [[early Israel|Israelite]] people did in the days of [[Moses]] or the [[early Christians]] did in the [[early Church|first century Church]].

The [[Pharisees]] kept the ritual but abandoned the spirit [[Moses]] spoke of and therefore did not know [[Jesus]] was the [[Messiah]], the [[Christ]] nor would they do what He [[commanded]] as the [[Messiah]]. They wore their [[fringes]] and were called ''whited sepulchres''. If we try in anyway to use the symbols and ritual to justify ourselves before God we will drift away from the message, spirit, and its purpose. We will fail to bloom in the light of the [[Holy Spirit]]. Our pride will block our growth in the [[Holy Spirit]].

No one should imagine that by wearing [[fringes]] or sowing [[Breeches]] or keeping the [[Sabbath]] on a special calculated day or even by having [[Feasts]] we can be justified before God. If we are clinging to the outward form in any way we will drift away from the message of [[The Way]] and its purpose and fail to bloom in the light of the [[Holy Spirit]]. If we fail to bloom then that is evidence we are not "keeping the [[Torah]]" and we will not find the [[Malchut]] of the Lord God.

Are we a kingdom sitting down in the [[tens]] as [[commanded]] by [[Christ]] practicing [[Pure Religion]]?

Where is the [[ekklesia]], the [[called out]], the [[Church]] established by Christ and [[Doctrines of Jesus|His Doctrines]]?

Were is the [[daily ministration]] of God provided for the people in [[love]] and [[charity]]?

Is it in the fringe?

Is it in your words and names and days?

The fringe is how we blossom in the talents and covering God gives us. It is what we do. If we will not do what Christ said then no fringe, nor unmoored ritual will save you anymore than it saved the [[Pharisees]] at the fall of Jerusalem.

This is the message of the "fringes". If we think it is about twisty threads on cloth then you have unmoored the wisdom of God from His teachings and the words of the prophets and may be as delusional as the [[Pharisees]].

If you think it is about knots and strings you have fallen for the [[Sophistry]] of [[Satan]].

The [[Breeches]] to be sown by the people of God for their [[Levites|Levite]] ministers had nothing to do with ''underwear'' and the fringes of our own covering has nothing to do with twisting twine. The word and law of God is Spirit. Let God write upon your hearts and upon your minds.

| The [[Father]]'s house was first our Father in heaven. People left their [[Father]]'s house and elected ''the [[father]]s of the [[world]]''. The people gave their [[conscripted fathers]] power to rule over them and to even borrow in their name. They failed to include or adhere to the 5 prohibitions in [[Deuteronomy 17]] to say nothing of the [[Ten Commandments]] making [[CCC|covenants]] and [[covet]]ing. It was His inheritance of liberty that was squandered by the Prodigal son.
|-
| I commend those who try not to take any [[benefits]] from those [[Benefactors]] who [[exercise authority]]. I commend those who have not sought the [[wages of unrighteousness]]. But that is not enough.
|-
| If we want to get back to our [[Father]]'s house in the [[kingdom of God]] we need to [[repent|think differently]] and go another way, because our fathers and grandfathers did choose to have "[[one purse]]". They have been "[[snare]]d and trapped" as prophesied. Because of debt, the people cannot just free themselves and they have no place to stand to claim freedom.
|-
| We need to remember that:
|-
| [[Rights]] are inherited and so can obligations be passed to the next generation. Our fathers have eaten "unripe grapes turning our teeth on edge". They have through [[covetous practices]] made themselves and us [[merchandise]]. They have [[cursed children]] which is us, and made us [[surety]] for debt.
|-
| [[Proverbs]] tells us to [[Proverbs 6|remember the ant]] who work together. Jesus [[commanded]] us to sit in the [[tens]]....
|-
| The prodigal son did not come back to get his inheritance but to be a "servant in his first [[father]]'s house".
|-
| That is what all the [[apostles]] and the ministers of the [[early Church]] did. They served the people in the free congregations of tens through [[pure religion]] creating a [[network]] of those who might survive the decline and fall of the Roman empire.
|-
| Christ had a plan. That is still the plan. Those who are [[called out]] to be ministers of His Church can come out but they have no personal estate and must come into one accord to serve those who will sit down in the [[tens]]. If they, the people, do not sit down in the [[tens]] I assume there will be no loaves and fishes.
|-
| The system is so complete and pervasive those who were entangled are snared and cursed. I see no personal exit for most people that could be counted as righteous. They are under the [[yoke]] of the unrighteous [[mammon]]. Yet, there is hope.
|-
| If the [[world]] said that if you get the [[Baptism]] of Christ then you are kicked out of their system like the [[Pharisees]] did then congregants could get out now. That may come someday but right now the people are not really ready to come out. There will probably need to be some plagues and tribulations first to bring people up to speed.
|-
| In the meantime... The [[world]] has said ministers who conform to the ''directives of Christ'', who are part of congregations of ministers, who have waived their rights to eat at the table of their system, can be separate. But to claim that those ministers would have to come back to their Father's house to be His servants, to serve others not themselves and certainly not to be free, or sovereign etc.
|-
| To serve Christ means to serve others in His [[name]] in the righteous [[mammon]]. They cannot do that until the people sit down in companies of ten as Jesus [[commanded]]. That was [[The_Blessed_Strategy|the plan]] then and now. That is [[The Way]].

[1] Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
[2] And the [[Pharisees]] and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
[3] And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
[4] What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
[5] And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
[6] And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
[7] I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that [[repent]]eth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
[8] Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
[9] And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
[10] Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that [[repent]]eth.

[11] And he said, A certain man had two sons:
[12] And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
[13] And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
[14] And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
[15] And he went and joined himself<Ref>{{2853}}</Ref> to a citizen<Ref>{{4177}}</Ref> of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
[16] And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
[17] And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
[18] I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
[19] And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
[20] And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
[21] And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
[22] But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
[23] And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
[24] For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
[25] Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
[26] And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
[27] And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
[28] And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
[29] And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
[30] But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
[31] And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
[32] It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Claudevt: /* Regulating society */

== Regulating society ==

Has our unregulated [[appetite]] for [[benefits]] from the government caused us to become over [[regulate]]d by the government?

Guns, marijuana, alcohol and tide pods are all “Dangerous!”

Their use should be regulated.

The question is by whom?

People are “Dangerous” too.

But the most “Dangerous!” thing of the last century and one of the most dangerous things throughout the history of man is government and its wars.

This includes not just war on terrorists but also on drugs and poverty.

Government attempts to regulate "illegal substances" has not only increased the police powers of government, thereby reducing the rights of the people, but also it has created an underground criminal industry which perpetrates violent gangs and murders all over the world. It has also made criminals out of millions of people who have done little or no harm to anyone and are often being incarcerated in a growing "prison industrial complex" at unbelievable expense to themselves and the taxpayers.

When people give the government the right and responsibility to make choices for them and their neighbor they are giving government power. Power corrupts. The power to choose and regulate Guns, marijuana, alcohol and tide pods, etc. should be in the hands of the people but the responsibility and repercussions of bad choices should also rest with the people.

* “When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown ... the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint... It is not necessary to do violence to such a people in order to strip them of the rights they enjoy; they themselves willingly loosen their hold... they neglect their chief business which is to remain their own masters.” [[Alexis de Tocqueville]], Democracy in America Volume 2

People should regulate their own use of Guns, marijuana, alcohol and tide pods etc. but the right to be free to choose includes the responsibility for the choices you make.

Before anyone considers legalized substances previously controlled by government they may need to also legalize the consequences of the abuses of those substances. If people make bad choices then they should, (indeed they must) be allowed to suffer the consequences of those bad choices without government intervention.

With the great power of choice, we call liberty, comes great responsibility. Without that stipulation society itself will degenerate into a mob of immoral souls and the foolish will take [[license]] to burden the wise with their self-indulgence.

In fact, this has already happened in many areas of society. Somewhere in the evolution of American society, it has become acceptable to take by force from your neighbor what you think you need to be secure and safe. This was listed as a sin at one time by Jews, Christians, and even Muslims. Now they all seem to turn a blind eye to this immoral provision of coveting thy neighbors goods in today's modern world.

* “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” Alexis de Tocqueville

Every year people allow the governments the look to to raise the debt ceiling which curses the next generation with the debt of their desires. Our parents in their blindness did it to us and we do it to the next generation if they are allowed to be born at all.

America is no longer great, not because of corruption or the swamp of government, but because of the corruption in our own hearts and minds. Desiring benefits at the expense of your neighbor was a sin among Christians from the beginning. It was the "[[wages of unrighteousness]]", the wages of sin.

Americans used to take care of all social welfare of society without looking to the use of force through government institutions. Any institution of government that provides for the social welfare of the people is a move toward [[socialism]] and a socialist institution.

* “[[Democracy]] extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” Alexis de Tocqueville

You cannot blame the government for the present loss of freedom or the stench arising from your own covetous practices. After all, governments are instituted by men and it is our choices to look to governments of the world rather than one another. We have created the swamp monster through our own wantonness and our selective blindness.

Yes, guns, marijuana, alcohol and tide pods should be regulated by individuals but only by those individuals who will take full responsibility for their lives and the choices they make.

In other words, if people lose their jobs or even injure themselves by abusive bad choices they should not be bailed out by government welfare, social security, Medicaid or Medicare. They should not be rewarded for the self-indulgence and wanton abuse and the adulteration of their own bodies and lives.

Many will cry that such social discipline is not kind but many of those who complain probably already have spoiled children or are like spoiled children themselves. Almost everyone who thinks government welfare is the solution for social problems also believes in evolution. Guaranteed entitlement benefits or bail outs with no regard for individual bad choices undermines society by obfuscating the principle factors of evolution models.

* “Princes made violence a physical thing.. despotism tried to reach the soul by striking crudely at the body; and the soul, eluding such blows, rose gloriously above it. Tyranny in democratic republics does not proceed in the same way, however. It ignores the body and goes straight for the soul.” Alexis de Tocqueville

The good Samaritan, not the government, pulled the battered man from the ditch who ended up in that desperate state through no fault of his own. If his wounds were self-inflicted a different strategy and criteria may need to be applied for the Samaritan is aiding both the victim and the abuser. Governments are not proficient at such soulful discretion because they are incapable of it.

[[Charity]] is the practice of choice in being good and goodness is the product of the soul.

[[Government]] has no soul for it is the institution of man, not God. Governments can only choose to offer or give away what belongs to others. There is no charity in that unless what the government has received is freely given. Governments which tax the people only have to give what they have taken away from others at the point of a sword. These are not institutions of charity but of force.

* "The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults." Alexis de Tocqueville

The reason that I am constantly quoting Alexis de Tocqueville is that he saw what made America great and to encourage the postmodernist American that if a Frenchman can figure out the problem, then a true and moral American should be able to institute the solution.

If people want to make America great again they need to start taking back their individual responsibilities. Until Americans or any people, succeed in a democracy or a republic they need to wake up to the fact that to enjoy rights requires that you manage your responsibilities and duties for yourself and to your family and to your fellow man.

This was always done through what the gospel calls [[Pure Religion]].

* “everybody feels the evil, but no one has courage or energy enough to seek the cure” Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

People would like to think that democracy is the answer and it would be if not for the people. The problem with most democratic legal systems and the people in them is they are just as addicted to governments and the receiving of benefits as they are likely going to be addicted to other substances currently restricted by the government.

* “Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.” Alexis de Tocqueville

It is not moral to force one neighbor to provide for another. It is certainly not charity. Tocqueville observed what made America great was its charitable and philanthropic associations of the people within every community, village, and township.

* "Americans group together to hold fêtes, found seminaries, build inns, construct churches, distribute books, dispatch missionaries to the antipodes. They establish hospitals, prisons, schools by the same method. Finally, if they wish to highlight a truth or develop an opinion by the encouragement of a great example, they form an association." Alexis de Tocqueville 1840, 596.

Once the people imagined that it was moral to take away from one neighbor to provide for individual members of society including themselves, they became blind to the process of their own enslavement.

* "The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money." Alexis de Tocqueville

Americans have sold their right to manage their own affairs for the right to take from their neighbor through government force. If Americans are going to see again and return to liberty they must see their own folly and sin and thus return the responsibility of choice and the repercussion of bad choices back to the people.

Do we demand our liberty back before we are willing to take back the responsibilities of society that Tocqueville saw making America great? We must take back our responsibilities first and have a right to do so in what Tocqueville called free association.

* "In the United States, as soon as several inhabitants have taken an opinion or an idea they wish to promote in society, they seek each other out and unite together once they have made contact. From that moment, they are no longer isolated but have become a power seen from afar whose activities serve as an example and whose words are heeded" [[Alexis de Tocqueville]] 1840, 599.

He did not see the people looking to government. In truth, the best men of society did not seem to think it was a noble pursuit.

* “I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.” Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Those who do seek the office of modern government must keep close to their hearts an understanding of the forces that both may build and destroy society. Those forces rest first in the hearts of men and not in the seat of government.

To make our political goal the alleviation of the burdens of bad government from the people is like trying to produce a hangover free alcohol or withdrawal free heroin. To remove the pain of bad government may be counterproductive to awakening the people or weaning them from their addiction to [[socialism]].

* “It is indeed difficult to imagine how men who have entirely renounced the habit of managing their own affairs could be successful in choosing those who ought to lead them. It is impossible to believe that a liberal, energetic, and wise government can ever emerge from the ballots of a nation of servants.” Alexis de Tocqueville

But it also may be counterproductive to do nothing for that would certainly not set a good example of mercy. The man lying in a ditch of self-inflicted addiction may still need a hand up but not without applying the necessary incentive for a more moral behavior in the future any act of mercy may be void of mercy. So the question remains the same, How do you help the poor or those deprived of rights to choose without weakening them.

If do not give back the full responsibly correlative to rights at the same time you give back the liberty of the people to choose for themselves then you may be held responsible for their choices. Can we in good conscience give a loaded gun to a small child or your car keys to a drunk?

There is no solution to return to a state of liberty without first returning to a state of morality and responsibility. Ultimately those who want their rights back must be allowed to suffer the consequence of their abuse of liberty if they are going to enjoy liberty.

That is [[Natural Law]].

'''Finding our way to freedom under God by the numbers.'''
[[File:numberedpathw.jpg|right|287px|thumb|Liberty by the numbers]]

What have we forgotten to do?

We were told to repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

What does that mean, what does it look like?

What has happened is that Americans and most of the people around the [[World|world]] have been making [[Social contract|social compacts]] with men who ''call'' themselves [[Benefactors]], but in reality they weaken society and grow in power like [[2 Samuel 8]] said they would. They [[Exercises authority|exercise authority]] one over the other to provide [[benefits]]. In order to provide these [[Benefits]] they force people [[Tribute|to contribute]] in a compelled offering. The people chose to accept this [[Covetous Practices|covetous system]] and became more [[Slothful]], but are also [[Snare|snared]] into a [[corvee]] system of [[Bondage]].

People wanted/desired those [[benefits]] that come from the cost of their [[Biting one another|neighbors' expense]] and even at the expense of the [[Curse children|liberty of their children]]. Those are covetous systems that make the people human resources or what the [[Bible]] calls [[Merchandise]]. Providing for the needs of society by forcing the contributions of the people may be convenient at first, but it erodes the character of society and such [[Covetous Practices]] [[Curse children|curses the children]].

Modern [[Churches]] have turned a blind eye to the commandment about not coveting what belongs to your neighbor and went along with these social schemes which make the word of God to none effect.

People wanted to have [[Public schools|public schools]] at their neighbors' expense rather than by local community charity like we used to do in America.

They wanted [[Social Security|social security]] at their neighbors' expense rather than depend on charity if their own resources failed them. This made it convenient for people who no longer had to do ought for their parents because they said they gave at the civil [[Temples]] of the state.

They wanted credit and debt rather than work and earn their [[Sabbath|day of rest]]. Their preachers did not teach them how the Gospel brought the [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]].

Americans at one time were a shining example of a [[Charity|charity]] driven society. You can see by the words and deeds of earlier Americans like [[David Crocket]] that if anyone is going to restore America they must repent and change their thinking. America has become a [[socialist]] nation for over a hundred years. We must [[Repent|turn around]] and go the other way.

But, for those who do want to change this direction, they can begin to do so right now. The unrighteous [[Mammon]] will fail and is failing now. Like Rome it will fall and take many with it.

So what we must do is [[Repent|turn around]] and seek a righteous way of helping one another according to the [[Perfect law of liberty|ways of liberty]].

Those who can only begin to imagine what course we must take may need a list to inspire them.

Nilus Mattive wrote the article [https://dailyreckoning.com/secret-form-opt-government-handouts/ A Secret Form to Opt Out of Government Handouts.]

Some one asked me “Why would a secret form to opt out be needed in a voluntary system?”

'''What is the rest of the [[whole story|story]]?'''

The "system" is voluntary but not necessarily voluntary from day to day. This system is as old as [[Cain]] and [[Nimrod]]. It was prophesied that the people would again be entangled in the [[yoke]] of [[bondage]] like it was in the days of [[Egypt]] and they and their [[curse children|children]] would become [[merchandise|human resources]]. People have become collateral or a [[surety]] for debt through their voluntary applications, actions and agreements of their parents and themselves.

The same process has been used throughout man's beleaguered history. [[Israel]] went into [[bondage]] because they and all of the people of [[Egypt]] sought the [[benefits]] offered by the [[government]] of [[Pharaoh]] during a time of economic dearth which came about because of climate change when the crops and their economy failed.

Those voluntary applications, actions and agreements were both [[covetous practices]] and the result of a society [[slothful]] in [[The Way]] of [[Jesus]] [[Christ]] and the [[early Church]]. People have again become [[merchandise|human resources]], [[surety]] for debt and most continue to [[curse children|curse their children]] because of their [[false religion]] and [[strong delusion]]. Some are waking up but are not really [[doers]] of the word in [[The Way]] of the [[early Church]].

The form mentioned by Nilus is not a secret. I have known about it for years and much more.

Both IRS Form 4029 and Form 4361 are Application for Exemption Social Security and Medicare Taxes and From Self-Employment Tax respectively. But are only offers of exemption and can be revoked at anytime.<Ref>"Furthermore, I understand that if the tax exemption for myself or for my employer under sections 1402(g)(1) or 3127 of the Internal Revenue Code is no longer
effective, this waiver will also no longer be effective ..." [https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4029.pdf Form 4029]</Ref>

I have known Ministers and Members of Religious Orders use [https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4361.pdf Form 4361] which is also used by Christian Science Practitioners. Some Amish use Form 4029 as an Application for Exemption From Social Security and Medicare Taxes and as a Waiver of Benefits.

But the Amish already take care of their own people. They are not isolated individuals just trying to set themselves free with paper work. Until those who claim to be Christian “sit down in the companies of [[tens]] and ranks of fifty and ranks of one hundred" as [[commanded]] by Christ in [[Mark 6]]:39-40 which was the same directive as [[Moses]] and those who worshiped through the [[altars]] of the [[faith]] established by [[Abraham]], why should they expect to be set free?

Christ came that we might be saved, but if Christ is in us we will no longer be [[biting one another]] through the covetous practices offered by the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' who are called the [[benefactors]] yet ''[[exercise authority]] one over the other''.

[[Christ]] [[appoint]]ed [[His Church]] to be the [[benefactors]] of a [[peculiar people]] through [[faith]], not [[force]] - and through [[charity]], not [[social compact|chains of contracts]]. The ministers of [[His Church]] were to actually be Ministers within [[Religious Orders]].<Ref>.[[Acts 1]]:15 ¶ And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)</Ref> who [[came out]] at [[Pentecost]] to set the people from from the [[Corban|schemes]] of [[Herod]].

This salvation through [[repent]]ance and the [[Baptism]] of the [[early Church]] was not an ''exemption'' and they did not have to file an application with the Pharisees. If they would be willing to organize themselves in the [[tens]] according to the dictates of Christ, which were the same instructions to the [[Levites]] of the [[Church in the wilderness]] they could be ''free indeed''.

[[John 8]]:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

There is a "Mandatory exception"<Ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/508 26 U.S. Code § 508 - Special rules with respect to section 501(c)(3) organizations] found in (c)(1)(A) churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and conventions or associations of churches,</Ref> for the Church bought by the blood of [[Christ]]. Those who will conform to Christ and actually do what he told His [[disciples]] do not have to file application to be [[His Church]].

They are “manditorily” excepted from having to file such requests for exemption because they are willing to [[repent|think a different way]] and [[seek]] the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] by the [[Grace]] of Christ. Seeking the kingdom is not just about going to a church; it is about being that [[peculiar people]] who will sit down together and walk in [[The Way]] of Christ.

The only reason the Amish have limited freedom with not needing a limited and qualified ''exemption'' is because they are not as [[slothful]] in [[the way]] of Christ and [[John the Baptist]] and the [[early Church]] as the [[Modern Church]] is. They certainly are not all the way back to the [[Father]]'s house but they are closer than many who are [[workers of iniquity]] although they think they believe in Christ.<Ref>[[Matthew 7]]:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

The State or “merchants of the earth”<Ref>[[Revelation 18]]:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed [[adultery|fornication]] with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. [[Revelation 18]]:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.</Ref> would never allow productive hard working modern Christians to opt out of that system unless they were organized as Christ said and actually caring for one another.

The Church is [[commanded]] to ''make the people sit down in that same networking pattern'' of [[Tens]] before they receive the blessings of Christ through the disciples of Christ. We cannot physically make people comply with Christ and His directives because we do not exercise authority one over the other... However they should not expect loaves and fishes nor freedom until they do as Christ said and the [[early Church]] was doing.

The [[Modern Church]],s have not preached the true gospel but have tickled the ears of the people through [[sophistry]] so that they believe a lie and have brought a [[strong delusion]]. They tell the people that it is okay to [[covet]] what belongs to other people and take from their neighbors through [[governments]] who [[exercise authority]].<Ref>[[Proverbs 19]]:3 ¶ The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.4 ¶ Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.5 ¶ A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.6 ¶ Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.8 ¶ He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.9 ¶ A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
</Ref> Many people think they are [[saved]] and think they believe in Christ but are actually [[workers of iniquity]]. However [[repent]]ance requires the humility to think a different way and [[faith]] requires that you be a [[doer]] of the word.

We can tell the people how the Church works. We can work daily to help them do things like the [[early Church]] did, but the people have to [[repent]], seek this kingdom of God and His [[righteousness]] by starting to do what Jesus said and the [[early Church]] righteously did.

The Hasmonean
Whoredom, and gods Many

The people sinned against
God when they asked for a central ruler like Saul, but God allowed it
so that they would learn what their fate would be when they rejected
God. God believes in the personal right to make free choices even if
they are wrong. Samuel warned the people, in accordance with the
words of God, that their elected rulers would soon take the fruits of
their labor, the right to the produce of their fields, and even their
sons and daughters. But the people would not relent from their
rejection of God.

As the power that was once
of the people was centralized in the government established by the
“voice of the people” more corruption crept into their
society. The men who sought offices of power acted for themselves
more than for the people. The people became dependent and subject,
less concerned with their neighbor, apathetic and slothful.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote228anc" HREF="#sdfootnote228sym">228</A>
They became accustomed to neglecting more and more responsibilities
given us by God and lost , in turn, more and more of their
corresponding rights.

Soon even the ministers of
the national system of social welfare, the Levites, were also
corrupted. That system was set up by Moses to help the people bind
themselves together with love and charity rather than the common
purse that runs toward death.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote229anc" HREF="#sdfootnote229sym">229</A>
By the arrival of the Hasmonean Kings the church called out in the
wilderness was ready for corruption. The Hasmonean kings, Herod, and
the Pharisees began to follow the error of Balaam. They made laws
that compelled the sacrifice of the people like the foolishness
of Saul and used the power of the right hand of their new government
to force the contributions of the people for a common welfare. David
even numbered the people so he could institute a draft. Moses had
written the warnings from God about not ever returning to the bondage
of Egypt.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote230anc" HREF="#sdfootnote230sym">230</A>



The tithing of the Church
in the wilderness was a matter of freewill offerings, and tithing to
the ministers of ten families was according to their service.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote231anc" HREF="#sdfootnote231sym">231</A>
There was no king in Israel, but everyman followed his own God given
conscience as we have seen in Judges 17. Everyman was king in his own
family and ruler of his own possessions according to the will of
God.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote232anc" HREF="#sdfootnote232sym">232</A>
Without the virtue of the God of heaven this would be chaos, but any
other way would be bondage.

The nation was commanded to
love their neighbor as themselves,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote233anc" HREF="#sdfootnote233sym">233</A>
to not covet their goods or their rights within the family by taking
away choice through the agency of man made governments. Such
institutions had the power to rule over men with authority and were
created with their own hands.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote234anc" HREF="#sdfootnote234sym">234</A>

The words for “gods”
found in both Old and New Testaments were “applied as deference
to magistrates”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote235anc" HREF="#sdfootnote235sym">235</A>and
meant “figuratively, a magistrate”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote236anc" HREF="#sdfootnote236sym">236</A>
in both Israel and Rome. These gods were not spirits or the symbols
of authority used by men. These gods had stone hearts and desired to
rule over men rather than love them. These gods were men exercising
authority over other men.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote237anc" HREF="#sdfootnote237sym">237</A>

There was a bar in the Ten
Commandments to not make agreements with other gods<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote238anc" HREF="#sdfootnote238sym">238</A>
that bound our service and took away our God given right of choice.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote239anc" HREF="#sdfootnote239sym">239</A>
The apostles repeated those warnings of Proverbs<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote240anc" HREF="#sdfootnote240sym">240</A>
and David<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote241anc" HREF="#sdfootnote241sym">241</A>
when they warned us to abstain from the sacrifices contributed upon
the civil altars of the gentiles.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote242anc" HREF="#sdfootnote242sym">242</A>



To give God’s
endowment of the right of choice over to the will of others in
exchange for benefits is a form of prostitution and adultery or
fornication. To do so as a society or nation is national adultery.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote243anc" HREF="#sdfootnote243sym">243</A>
Most of the adultery mentioned in the Bible is national adultery of
the people who were eating at altars according to the doctrine of
Balaam and doctrine of the Nicolaitans,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote244anc" HREF="#sdfootnote244sym">244</A>
going under the authority of others by agreements for benefits,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote245anc" HREF="#sdfootnote245sym">245</A>
snared by their covetousness which is wickedness.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote246anc" HREF="#sdfootnote246sym">246</A>

All governments including
the Church have a body of men to represent them. Some are titular and
some exercise authority. God did not want men to rule over men, but
if people do choose to have a ruler they were to constitute rules and
limitation of that power. There was to be no forced contribution, no
central treasury, no professional army, no treaty making powers, and
they were to do nothing to return the people to a system of bondage
like Egypt.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote247anc" HREF="#sdfootnote247sym">247</A>

The Hasmoneans allowed the
Levites to obtain personal estates and gave them a legal power to
enforce rules through statutory provisions, even to forcing the
contributions of the people to provide for what had previously been
done through charity and the free will offerings of the people. The
ministers of the kingdom became lawmakers and the people became
subjects. Like the evolved Roman Senate or the new traditions of the
Sanhedrin, men began to hold offices of power. Men who sought power
sought those offices. The highest among these gentile type
governments eventually became dictators of all.

The Levites, with the
estates they accumulated, became rich and powerful men. Men who
sought such riches sought and corrupted God’s office. They no
longer were focused on the service of the people, but more on service
to themselves rejecting the way of the God of Heaven.

Claudevt: /* Need to give and forgive */ Changed 'inter' to enter

[[Image:Fract10s-100s.jpg|right|thumb|300px|We are obligated by the Father in heaven to dress and keep all that He gave us including our [[Fellowship|neighbor]]. The way He has always done this was by living [[altars]] of [[Clay and Stone]]. [[Abraham]], [[Moses]] and [[Jesus]] all [[appoint]]ed such [[altars]] of unhewn stone.Jesus as high priest and king took the kingdom away from the [[Pharisees]] who sat in the seat of [[Moses]] by the words of their own mouth and [[appoint]]ed it to another. The ''Potestas'', ''Imperium'' and ''Auctoritas'' of government belongs in each family, in the Pater Familias, where God intended it to be.<Ref> God warned that the desire for power over others would bring their own punishment. The ''Potestas'', ''Imperium'' and ''Auctoritas'' passes from ''generation to generation''. If your natural father sells that right you will not inherit it. This is why Israel was still in [[bondage]] 400 years after the actions of their ancestors and it is why people are in [[bondage]] today and cannot just free themselves or redeem themselves.</Ref> We gather in hope of His [[redemption]].]]
== Why Congregate ==

'''Why should we [[Congregations|Congregate]]?'''
The people of every free government, from the beginning of man's history, have congregated together in [[Free Assemblies]] to help maintain their mutual liberty. The greatest threat to a free society comes from within, not from without. A free society is bound by [[Social Virtues]] like love and honor and not by [[CCC|Contracts, covenants and constitutions]] which limit freedom of choice.

Historically, small groups gathered together in these social networks to protect individual liberty, sacred under a fundamental moral code. People functioned in a free society and cared about their neighbors and their neighbors' rights as much as their own.

This is, and was, what early Israel and early Rome were doing, and what the [[early Church]] did because the people were willing to [[repent]] and think and act in a different way. It has been said that ''there is strength in numbers'', but the manner in which society establishes those ''bands that connect them with one another'' are many fold.

The method and manner used to bind society determines the [[fruit]] of that [[society]] but the why for [[His Church]] is because [[Jesus]] as the [[Christ]] '''[[commanded]]''' that His [[disciples]] ''make'' the people organize themselves in ''by companies'' ''in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.''.<Ref>Mark 6:39 And he '''[[commanded]]''' them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.</Ref>.

== Man is gregarious by nature ==

There is a natural emotional need in mankind to gather with others like themselves. Gathering together in fellowships offers individuals emotional and even psychological support to their purposes and satisfaction. However, the emotional dependence upon a group can become a form of bondage. Your intent or spirit for gathering can either facilitate that bondage or protect you from it.

The question you must ask should answer ''why'' are you gathering.

While what would qualify as a [[Cult|cult]] might cultivate a welcomed '' emotional dependence, '' it also may go so far as to completely remove a member from their support systems of friends and family. A cult may even be a means of making income, thus causing a person to become physically and financially dependent upon the group, and therefore its leaders.

There are other, more subtle, ways of creating an emotional dependency.

For example, [[Modern Church]]es will try to fill a natural emotional need for community and fellowship. Their attempt to feed or satisfy an emotional dependency in the congregant can also cultivate the quality of loyalty in attending congregants. Such churches may use guilt or even fear of condemnation if a congregant stops going to church.

This type of church may be catering to an individual's existing emotional weakness. Their weakness manifests itself by granting power to leaders as seen with [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]] in [[1 Samuel 8]], opening a door to a leader's controlling spirit. He will secure his leadership position of ''loaned power'' using various methods as seen the case of [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]]. Banning members from meeting, communing with others outside the Church congregation, or an over-shadowing denominational loyalty are all signs of the syndrome.

The opposite is true with Jesus who met with both sinners and saints, Jew and Samaritan and even Romans. In fact, He clearly states that He came that the whole [[World|world]] might be saved.<Ref>John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.</Ref>

Of course ''loyalty'' is a virtue and therefore is a good thing. Yet it is the intent and motivation behind that loyalty which leads to the production of good fruit. Thieves and robbers have loyalty too. Loyalty for the wrong reason or compelled (forced) loyalty are both forms of bondage.

Loyalty in a true congregation of Christ is loyalty to the the righteousness of God which is what we are to be seeking. Loyalty to individuals by virtue of their office or to the symbols of that office are forms of [[Idolatry]].

When the people looked to Peter as a leader of the Church to dictate ''commands'' his response was clear:

: "Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." Acts 10:34-35

=== People who need ===

"People who need people"<Ref>Songwriters: MERRILL, BOB/STYNE, JULE
People lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</Ref> may not be the luckiest people in the world.

Society needs people because there is no society of "one." Again, it is the motivating intent or spirit behind this normal need that makes the difference as to the resulting fruit.

The ''People'' song by Merrill and Styne goes onto say that "Lovers are very special people, They're the luckiest people In the world."

But there are at least two kinds of [[Love|love]]. There is the love that ''consumes'' the life of others and the love that ''gives life'' to others. Lovers in a consuming relationship are not lucky but are doomed.

If there is "A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, Now you're whole." what gave you that feeling of fulfillment?

Christ spoke of "No more hunger and thirst."<Ref>John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."</Ref>

The water he spoke of was a spiritual water.<Ref>John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.</Ref> which included something called ''[[Worship|worship]]'' and ''truth.''

Over a hundred years ago Easton said ''[http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/worship.php worship]'' is ''homage'' which is "Ceremonial acknowledgment by a vassal of allegiance to his lord under feudal law."

When Jesus said he would build His Church upon the rock<Ref>Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.</Ref> he was talking about the divine revelation of the individual like Simon. The rock or ''peter'' in the Greek was an inner knowing and faith expressed by Simon Bar Jona which was the result of a personal revelation by God and not revealed by the actions of ''flesh and blood''.<Ref>Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.</Ref> So we do not want to be dependent upon our leaders nor upon the emotional support of the congregation upon The Holy Spirit of God himself.

The value of the congregation is more in the opportunity of serving and forgiving others rather in being served or forgiven by others. This is essential in the purpose of our gathering if we are to be blessed by God.

The truth is we need an unselfish guiding force/light in our life to truly bless others in our life. According to the scriptures that guidance is to be supplied by the Holy Spirit<Ref>a.k.a [[Trees|Tree of life]]</Ref> who should be our comforter.<Ref>John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.</Ref> If the Holy Spirit is our comforter the reason we need people should not be to be comforted.

== Need to give and forgive ==

Christ came to give and forgive, to serve and to sacrifice himself for others. We must gather with people<Ref>Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
: 2 Thessalonians 2:1 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,</Ref> not because we need them to sacrifice for us but because we need to sacrifice and serve others so we may also come in the name of Christ, and for His purposes.

Christ makes it clear that if we want to be forgiven we must [[forgive]].<Ref>Luke 6:37 ¶ Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
: Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
: Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.</Ref> If we need people it should be because we need to forgive. So in that need to forgive others our enemy becomes our ally.<Ref>Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;</Ref>

If we break this down into the psychology of the individual we can see that people who have trouble with ''neediness'' often get involved with very dependent partners so they don’t have to feel their own ''neediness.'' Their ''neediness'' subjects them to control by others, which they resent. In turn, their resentment draws them stealthily to want to control others in the same way others controlled them.

We become a reflection of that which we will not forgive. Such unforgiveness gets projected into our partner, friends or congregants as an expression of "neediness." Looking deeper, you may also find that supposedly dependent and helpless people are extremely controlling and manipulative once they become dependent on others for support.

When people put leaders and associates on pedestals <nowiki>[princes, presidents, pastors or fellow pirates]</nowiki> they leave members to appear as mere subordinates. This is a father-child type relationship, that taken to the extreme, leads to abuse. On a grander scale it can lead to tyranny.

'''Fellowship of lies'''

Dependence and being needy carry a charge negativity in our culture but we can cover that over with words like ''fellowship''. We have to realize that much of this is not consciously done. But just searching for a church or congregation that makes you "feel comfortable" especially if it takes you away from others you have called friend or brothers brings a possible dependence vulnerability or personal ''neediness'' into question.

Individuals who take on a roll of dependence or appear helpless often have an unhealthy desire of controlling their partners or fellow congregants for personal emotional gain. This commonly arises in male female relationships where there is an unconscious resentment for previous authority exercised earlier in their life. In the case of physical abuse victims you will often find a woman escaping from one abusive relationship only to enter the arms of another individual who eventually abuses them.

Society and community and therefore the church congregation may repeat this pattern.

Some may force or entice others to assume the role of emotional caretaker <nowiki>[guide or guru, mentor or master, pastor or pope, president or prime-minister]</nowiki> so they may manipulate their emotional protagonist <nowiki>[leader, preacher, pastor]</nowiki> into giving what is wanted, be it emotional or eventual financial support.

We may have all seen how children will try to get their way by nagging and fussing. There are also children who get their way by softly and meekly pleading for what they want in a sort of projected false humility or helplessness, while in fact they are merely pulling the strings like a professional puppeteer.

Both play the same role of controller from a different fantasy or imagined dependence. Psychologists call the role playing needy as “Omnipotent babies” who like to appear helpless and childlike but secretly want to pull the strings of their pastors or partners like the puppets they secretly imagine them to be.

The natural structure of the kingdom of God expressed in the practices ( [http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/polity/article7.php Rituals and Ceremonies] ) of early Israel and the early Church guard against the emotional dependency that creeps into any social structure or gathering. But there is no structure that can give total immunity without the Spirit of God dwelling in the hearts and minds of the people.

Forgiveness and giving in the Spirit of Christ is essential.

People who demonstrate emotional dependency and helplessness often have little tolerance or real love and patience for the pastor or person who seems needless.

They are both in denial about their real needs but are compensating in different ways.

Christ is sufficient, but you have to accept and love the real Christ who says you should seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You should not be denying and projecting your needs.

Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Being a little child to what [[Father]]?

We are to call no man on earth [[Father]]. Not our Pastor or preacher or any leader and certainly not any ruler who exercises authority. We are not to put men on pedestals of power or influence, but look to our Father in heaven.

So, how do we avoid the addiction to an emotional dependency that comes with a cell congregation. In the article [http://www.smallgroups.com/articles/2000/emotionaldependencyincells.html Emotional Dependency in Cells] ''How to identify and break the bondage of dependent relationships'' by Steve Prokopchak we see a clear case of ''emotional dependency''. How do we set the dependent free while remaining free of their natural trap of co dependence.

Prokopchak asks "A primary function of the cell group is to lend itself to closer, more intimate relationships. But, what happens when these relationships become ingrown or dependent and a destructive bondage develops?"

First we must accept that a dysfunctional home is the product of a disconnection with God and His Holy Spirit and dysfunction is a product of an unhealthy relationship with two or more disconnected souls or persons.

In other words two souls have been disconnected from the righteousness of God and they are trying to compensate in some form of social relationship.

They are both needy and are not helping but often making the situation worse. An illusion of aid is given at the price of more dependency and an inevitable return to a cyclical process. People learn to manage the problem but never overcome it.

Like modern medicine we are only dealing with the symptom and not the source.

We may try to list off things that lead to emotional dependency,
such as Feelings of Insecurity. The truth is feelings of security are just as dangerous because they are feelings and may have nothing to do with the real us.

Just like having low self esteem, being very self confident and self assured may only be a product of personal pride and arrogance.

Certainly having a dysfunctional family background can contribute to these things. However the bible says "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children"<Ref>Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Numbers 14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,</Ref> it does not say we are ''condemned'' to repeat the same sins done to us. Forgiveness works.

The need to criticize others and even ourselves is judging, not forgiving. Also forgiveness is not absolution it is only forgiving from our personal position as a victim or perpetrator of unrighteousness and letting God judge. Any judgment or condemnation of ourselves or others is simply us playing the roll of God which takes us all back to the original sin.<Ref>Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.</Ref>

Fear is a symptom of a lack of faith and faith is gift. Faith, probity and allegiance are similar terms. Seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness is about doing something to return to your Fathers house where your first allegiance should lie. If you want to live in your Father's house you must seek to serve your Father.

We often realize our lack of faith and forgiveness and our selfish nature. Rather than repenting and changing our thinking and ways, we play the role of the devout martyr, wearing our proverbial sackcloth, donning the garb of the ascetic, fasting and denying natural relationships and joy, even sabotaging the very relationships we claim to seek.

We are continuously pulled back to commune and fellowship as if we need that connection to recharge our batteries. That is sure evidence we are not connecting with God because we are constantly needing others to renew our comfort level. If we are not connecting with God it is us that is blocking that connection. That is usually because we will not repent.

== Backwards thinking ==

{{#ev:youtube|MFzDaBzBlL0|300|right|People are hardwired to think a certain way from youth. Repenting is like learning to ride a backwards bike.

A question that arises when we look at [[Modern Christians]] is did you learn to ride a ''righteous bike'' of [[Christ]] or a ''backwards bike'' of the [[World]]? }}
People like to believe that their "hard wired" way of doing things is already "[[The Way]]", whether you are talking [[Religion|religion]] or [[Politics|politics]].

People learn to think a certain way as children. Their way of thinking is really "hard" wired into their [[Mind]] from their youth. The work it takes to "unlearn" and "relearn" to think a different way, is like riding a ''backwards bike'', it takes a long time.

In the video the man mentioned for him it took eight months, while for his young son it only took two weeks or so. The Israelites spent forty years in the desert learning to think and act a different way than they did when they lived in [[Egypt]].

This is where the seeking of the kingdom and the striving spoken of by Christ is important. The human desire for "easy" and "quick" to feel justified already, and a lack of humility keeps the people "hard wired".

They may also want to get other people to learn to ride "their own bike" like they ride theirs. Because they want to believe that their "bike" is "God's bike", and that they are right in what they are doing. They will oppose anyone who seeks to do things a different way, and if deep down they know they are doing it wrong they may refuse to admit it because of pride and arrogance, so they are likely going to want to force people to do it their way.

We have been told since we were children and are being told today that it is okay to desire benefits at the expense of our neighbor. This of course is coveting our neighbors goods which is against the law of God written down by Moses and is published above the door of the supreme Court.

Yet, everyone is coveting their neighbor's goods who desires benefits from men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] but have the benefactors force their neighbors to contribute to their own [[Welfare]], as well as their free [[Public schools|public schools]] and even their [[Not so Secure Socialism|Social Security]]. We have been taught and have learned to do things opposite of what Christ and the early Church were doing and that is now the only way we know or even think that we can care for the needy of society.

There is no [[Daily ministration]] done by the Church today. The Church has become a social institution where visiting the sick is just chatting with them or maybe driving them to the doctor paid for by those [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority. There is no [[Pure Religion]] in the [[Modern Church]]es today but only a supposed semblance of one. Many want to imagine that they do not have to daily give up their life for others because Christ did it all for us. The truth is if Christ is within us we will be like Christ and feed His sheep and not seek the Free [[Bread and circuses]] of the [[Fathers]] of the earth. Remember [[Christ]] means anointing and anointing refers to the presence of the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Christ.

[[Repent]]ing is about thinking another way and doing things according to [[The Way]] of Christ.

Repenting and seeking the kingdom is like riding a backwards bike or learning to ride the righteous bike of Christ after learning to ride the backwards bike of the [[World]].

We are actually trained to think in covetous ways counter to the ways of the [[Kingdom of God]] and repenting is not only learning to think kingdom aspects while unlearning what we have already accepted as true.

This is why Humility is so important in Kingdom thinking.

In this life we are told to accumulate and become wealthy and secure for ourselves.
But what did Christ say and think?

: "Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him." 1 John 3:16

== Aid Addicts ==

We have become [[Aid Addicts]]. We need or think we need the assistance of the public, self proclaimed [[Benefactors]] of the [[World]] and those ''[[Fathers]] of the earth''. There are steps that you can take within congregations that will help all within a larger community come closer to the ways of the kingdom and draw us nearer to Christ.

This is laid out in [[Aid Addicts]] like the twelve step plans so popular today. There are other pages like [[First to do List]] and [[Doers of the Word]] along with many articles and audio files to help you in this process.

== Long distant congregations ==

We generally do not know what we are to repent of but it is simple. We are still trying to play a god, seeking to control others, rather than serve god by seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

The [[Kingdom of God]] is where God rules us so that we seek to come together not to get something from someone else but to serve like Christ did. We gather to give and forgive not to get recharged or a sense of [[fellowship]] and comradery.<Ref>Comradery is the spirit of friendship and community in a group, like the comradery of soldiers at war who keep each other upbeat despite the difficulty of their circumstances.</Ref> That is one reason long distant congregations are a place to start.

In long distant congregations we are not as easily tempted by the emotional dependence. Like a field of grain or garden the seeds are scattered to give each plant room to grow in the light of day.

'''Financial Dependence'''

While in many cults, members may live with other members in a group living environment and become financially dependent upon the group, kingdom living encourages financial independence. Should a cult member decide to leave the group, it becomes physically difficult or even impossible to sustain oneself outside of that dependency that has been cultivated in the individual.

Winston Churchill wrote that: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” but isolated independence is the road to poverty of the spirit because of the need for [[charitable practices]] which [[includes]] [[sacrifice]].

[[Socialism]] is the [[religion]] you get when you have no [[Pure Religion]].

[[Society]], free or bond, with its product of virtue or vice determines the destiny of the people, for the power and precepts will be born first in their hearts and in their minds.

== Reasons to congregate ==

There are many reasons to congregate together and those reasons are an expression of ''intent''. Intent is the seed of all action in your life and determines the fruit of your life. Intent is the spirit that move us.

Your reasons for congregating should be the purposes of Christ.

'''You should gather:'''

* To save others<Ref>[[John 3]]:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[[John 5]]:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
[[John 12]]:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
[[1 Timothy 1]]:15 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.</Ref>
* To serve others<Ref>[[Luke 22]]:27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.</Ref>
* To forgive others<Ref>[[Matthew 6]]:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
: [[Matthew 18]]:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
: [[Mark 11]]:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.</Ref>
* To love God and one another<Ref>John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
[[John 15]]:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
[[Romans 13]]:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
[[1 Thessalonians 4]]:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
[[1 Peter 1]]:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[[1 John 3]]:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
[[1 John 3]]:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
[[1 John 4]]:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[[1 John 4]]:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[[1 John 4]]:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[[2 John 1]]:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.</Ref>
* To bear witness to the truth.<Ref>John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.</Ref>
* To bring sight to the blind<Ref>[[John 9]]:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.</Ref>

Intent is a child of the heart and action is the offspring of the soul. According to Paulo Coelho “There is always a gap between intention and action..” and the distance between the two is the inverse measure of your sincerity.

Reasons you should '''not''' come together:

* Save your self
* Make life easier for you
* Feel good or even just feel better
* Look good or better or righteous
* Lord it over others as if you are right and they are wrong

Without love and humility there can be no liberty.

== Spiritual Liberty ==

Most of what we see or experience of our spirit is perceived through or mind and our feelings. Spirit giveth life.<Ref>John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
: [[Romans 8]]:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
: [[Romans 8]]:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
: [[2 Corinthians 3]]:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
: [[Galatians 6]]:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
</Ref> But if you want life more abundant you must lay down your life.<Ref>[[Luke 12]]:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
: [[John 10]]:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
[[John 10]]:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
: [[John 15]]:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
: [[1 John 3]]:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.: Romans 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)</Ref> Most of what draws us to the Holy Spirit is [[Sacrifice]].

The [[World]] and [[False religion]] has delivered us into [[bondage]] through our [[Covetous Practices]] and [[Sloth]]. Your [[bondage]] to the systems of the [[world]], your [[surety]] for debt which makes you [[merchandise]], are merely a symptom of your spiritual [[bondage]].

The [[Network]] of the [[Kingdom of God]] allows us to begin a life of [[Charitable Practices]] which will set us free rather than those [[Covetous Practices]] that have made us [[Merchandise]] and [[Curse children|Cursed Children]].

By forming [[Congregations of Record]] you may began to reverse the process that brought you into [[Bondage]] in Spirit and Truth. By the ministers you choose gathering in true [[Congregations of Ministers]] and continuing this pattern of service with dedication a living network of [[Tens|10's, 100's, 1000's]] may continue to form drawing the Holy Spirit and preparing a place for that spirit in each of us.

That is seeking the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].

Claudevt: /* Why Congregate */ added [s] in these'

[[Image:Fract10s-100s.jpg|right|thumb|300px|We are obligated by the Father in heaven to dress and keep all that He gave us including our [[Fellowship|neighbor]]. The way He has always done this was by living [[altars]] of [[Clay and Stone]]. [[Abraham]], [[Moses]] and [[Jesus]] all [[appoint]]ed such [[altars]] of unhewn stone.Jesus as high priest and king took the kingdom away from the [[Pharisees]] who sat in the seat of [[Moses]] by the words of their own mouth and [[appoint]]ed it to another. The ''Potestas'', ''Imperium'' and ''Auctoritas'' of government belongs in each family, in the Pater Familias, where God intended it to be.<Ref> God warned that the desire for power over others would bring their own punishment. The ''Potestas'', ''Imperium'' and ''Auctoritas'' passes from ''generation to generation''. If your natural father sells that right you will not inherit it. This is why Israel was still in [[bondage]] 400 years after the actions of their ancestors and it is why people are in [[bondage]] today and cannot just free themselves or redeem themselves.</Ref> We gather in hope of His [[redemption]].]]
== Why Congregate ==

'''Why should we [[Congregations|Congregate]]?'''
The people of every free government, from the beginning of man's history, have congregated together in [[Free Assemblies]] to help maintain their mutual liberty. The greatest threat to a free society comes from within, not from without. A free society is bound by [[Social Virtues]] like love and honor and not by [[CCC|Contracts, covenants and constitutions]] which limit freedom of choice.

Historically, small groups gathered together in these social networks to protect individual liberty, sacred under a fundamental moral code. People functioned in a free society and cared about their neighbors and their neighbors' rights as much as their own.

This is, and was, what early Israel and early Rome were doing, and what the [[early Church]] did because the people were willing to [[repent]] and think and act in a different way. It has been said that ''there is strength in numbers'', but the manner in which society establishes those ''bands that connect them with one another'' are many fold.

The method and manner used to bind society determines the [[fruit]] of that [[society]] but the why for [[His Church]] is because [[Jesus]] as the [[Christ]] '''[[commanded]]''' that His [[disciples]] ''make'' the people organize themselves in ''by companies'' ''in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.''.<Ref>Mark 6:39 And he '''[[commanded]]''' them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.</Ref>.

== Man is gregarious by nature ==

There is a natural emotional need in mankind to gather with others like themselves. Gathering together in fellowships offers individuals emotional and even psychological support to their purposes and satisfaction. However, the emotional dependence upon a group can become a form of bondage. Your intent or spirit for gathering can either facilitate that bondage or protect you from it.

The question you must ask should answer ''why'' are you gathering.

While what would qualify as a [[Cult|cult]] might cultivate a welcomed '' emotional dependence, '' it also may go so far as to completely remove a member from their support systems of friends and family. A cult may even be a means of making income, thus causing a person to become physically and financially dependent upon the group, and therefore its leaders.

There are other, more subtle, ways of creating an emotional dependency.

For example, [[Modern Church]]es will try to fill a natural emotional need for community and fellowship. Their attempt to feed or satisfy an emotional dependency in the congregant can also cultivate the quality of loyalty in attending congregants. Such churches may use guilt or even fear of condemnation if a congregant stops going to church.

This type of church may be catering to an individual's existing emotional weakness. Their weakness manifests itself by granting power to leaders as seen with [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]] in [[1 Samuel 8]], opening a door to a leader's controlling spirit. He will secure his leadership position of ''loaned power'' using various methods as seen the case of [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]]. Banning members from meeting, communing with others outside the Church congregation, or an over-shadowing denominational loyalty are all signs of the syndrome.

The opposite is true with Jesus who met with both sinners and saints, Jew and Samaritan and even Romans. In fact, He clearly states that He came that the whole [[World|world]] might be saved.<Ref>John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.</Ref>

Of course ''loyalty'' is a virtue and therefore is a good thing. Yet it is the intent and motivation behind that loyalty which leads to the production of good fruit. Thieves and robbers have loyalty too. Loyalty for the wrong reason or compelled (forced) loyalty are both forms of bondage.

Loyalty in a true congregation of Christ is loyalty to the the righteousness of God which is what we are to be seeking. Loyalty to individuals by virtue of their office or to the symbols of that office are forms of [[Idolatry]].

When the people looked to Peter as a leader of the Church to dictate ''commands'' his response was clear:

: "Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." Acts 10:34-35

=== People who need ===

"People who need people"<Ref>Songwriters: MERRILL, BOB/STYNE, JULE
People lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</Ref> may not be the luckiest people in the world.

Society needs people because there is no society of "one." Again, it is the motivating intent or spirit behind this normal need that makes the difference as to the resulting fruit.

The ''People'' song by Merrill and Styne goes onto say that "Lovers are very special people, They're the luckiest people In the world."

But there are at least two kinds of [[Love|love]]. There is the love that ''consumes'' the life of others and the love that ''gives life'' to others. Lovers in a consuming relationship are not lucky but are doomed.

If there is "A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, Now you're whole." what gave you that feeling of fulfillment?

Christ spoke of "No more hunger and thirst."<Ref>John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."</Ref>

The water he spoke of was a spiritual water.<Ref>John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.</Ref> which included something called ''[[Worship|worship]]'' and ''truth.''

Over a hundred years ago Easton said ''[http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/worship.php worship]'' is ''homage'' which is "Ceremonial acknowledgment by a vassal of allegiance to his lord under feudal law."

When Jesus said he would build His Church upon the rock<Ref>Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.</Ref> he was talking about the divine revelation of the individual like Simon. The rock or ''peter'' in the Greek was an inner knowing and faith expressed by Simon Bar Jona which was the result of a personal revelation by God and not revealed by the actions of ''flesh and blood''.<Ref>Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.</Ref> So we do not want to be dependent upon our leaders nor upon the emotional support of the congregation upon The Holy Spirit of God himself.

The value of the congregation is more in the opportunity of serving and forgiving others rather in being served or forgiven by others. This is essential in the purpose of our gathering if we are to be blessed by God.

The truth is we need an unselfish guiding force/light in our life to truly bless others in our life. According to the scriptures that guidance is to be supplied by the Holy Spirit<Ref>a.k.a [[Trees|Tree of life]]</Ref> who should be our comforter.<Ref>John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.</Ref> If the Holy Spirit is our comforter the reason we need people should not be to be comforted.

== Need to give and forgive ==

Christ came to give and forgive, to serve and to sacrifice himself for others. We must gather with people<Ref>Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
: 2 Thessalonians 2:1 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,</Ref> not because we need them to sacrifice for us but because we need to sacrifice and serve others so we may also come in the name of Christ, and for His purposes.

Christ makes it clear that if we want to be forgiven we must [[forgive]].<Ref>Luke 6:37 ¶ Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
: Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
: Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.</Ref> If we need people it should be because we need to forgive. So in that need to forgive others our enemy becomes our ally.<Ref>Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;</Ref>

If we break this down into the psychology of the individual we can see that people who have trouble with ''neediness'' often get involved with very dependent partners so they don’t have to feel their own ''neediness.'' Their ''neediness'' subjects them to control by others, which they resent. In turn, their resentment draws them stealthily to want to control others in the same way others controlled them.

We become a reflection of that which we will not forgive. Such unforgiveness gets projected into our partner, friends or congregants as an expression of "neediness." Looking deeper, you may also find that supposedly dependent and helpless people are extremely controlling and manipulative once they become dependent on others for support.

When people put leaders and associates on pedestals <nowiki>[princes, presidents, pastors or fellow pirates]</nowiki> they leave members to appear as mere subordinates. This is a father-child type relationship, that taken to the extreme, leads to abuse. On a grander scale it can lead to tyranny.

'''Fellowship of lies'''

Dependence and being needy carry a charge negativity in our culture but we can cover that over with words like ''fellowship''. We have to realize that much of this is not consciously done. But just searching for a church or congregation that makes you "feel comfortable" especially if it takes you away from others you have called friend or brothers brings a possible dependence vulnerability or personal ''neediness'' into question.

Individuals who take on a roll of dependence or appear helpless often have an unhealthy desire of controlling their partners or fellow congregants for personal emotional gain. This commonly arises in male female relationships where there is an unconscious resentment for previous authority exercised earlier in their life. In the case of physical abuse victims you will often find a woman escaping from one abusive relationship only to inter the arms of another individual who eventually abuses them.

Society and community and therefore the church congregation may repeat this pattern.

Some may force or entice others to assume the role of emotional caretaker <nowiki>[guide or guru, mentor or master, pastor or pope, president or prime-minister]</nowiki> so they may manipulate their emotional protagonist <nowiki>[leader, preacher, pastor]</nowiki> into giving what is wanted, be it emotional or eventual financial support.

We may have all seen how children will try to get their way by nagging and fussing. There are also children who get their way by softly and meekly pleading for what they want in a sort of projected false humility or helplessness, while in fact they are merely pulling the strings like a professional puppeteer.

Both play the same role of controller from a different fantasy or imagined dependence. Psychologists call the role playing needy as “Omnipotent babies” who like to appear helpless and childlike but secretly want to pull the strings of their pastors or partners like the puppets they secretly imagine them to be.

The natural structure of the kingdom of God expressed in the practices ( [http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/polity/article7.php Rituals and Ceremonies] ) of early Israel and the early Church guard against the emotional dependency that creeps into any social structure or gathering. But there is no structure that can give total immunity without the Spirit of God dwelling in the hearts and minds of the people.

Forgiveness and giving in the Spirit of Christ is essential.

People who demonstrate emotional dependency and helplessness often have little tolerance or real love and patience for the pastor or person who seems needless.

They are both in denial about their real needs but are compensating in different ways.

Christ is sufficient, but you have to accept and love the real Christ who says you should seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. You should not be denying and projecting your needs.

Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Being a little child to what [[Father]]?

We are to call no man on earth [[Father]]. Not our Pastor or preacher or any leader and certainly not any ruler who exercises authority. We are not to put men on pedestals of power or influence, but look to our Father in heaven.

So, how do we avoid the addiction to an emotional dependency that comes with a cell congregation. In the article [http://www.smallgroups.com/articles/2000/emotionaldependencyincells.html Emotional Dependency in Cells] ''How to identify and break the bondage of dependent relationships'' by Steve Prokopchak we see a clear case of ''emotional dependency''. How do we set the dependent free while remaining free of their natural trap of co dependence.

Prokopchak asks "A primary function of the cell group is to lend itself to closer, more intimate relationships. But, what happens when these relationships become ingrown or dependent and a destructive bondage develops?"

First we must accept that a dysfunctional home is the product of a disconnection with God and His Holy Spirit and dysfunction is a product of an unhealthy relationship with two or more disconnected souls or persons.

In other words two souls have been disconnected from the righteousness of God and they are trying to compensate in some form of social relationship.

They are both needy and are not helping but often making the situation worse. An illusion of aid is given at the price of more dependency and an inevitable return to a cyclical process. People learn to manage the problem but never overcome it.

Like modern medicine we are only dealing with the symptom and not the source.

We may try to list off things that lead to emotional dependency,
such as Feelings of Insecurity. The truth is feelings of security are just as dangerous because they are feelings and may have nothing to do with the real us.

Just like having low self esteem, being very self confident and self assured may only be a product of personal pride and arrogance.

Certainly having a dysfunctional family background can contribute to these things. However the bible says "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children"<Ref>Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Numbers 14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,</Ref> it does not say we are ''condemned'' to repeat the same sins done to us. Forgiveness works.

The need to criticize others and even ourselves is judging, not forgiving. Also forgiveness is not absolution it is only forgiving from our personal position as a victim or perpetrator of unrighteousness and letting God judge. Any judgment or condemnation of ourselves or others is simply us playing the roll of God which takes us all back to the original sin.<Ref>Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.</Ref>

Fear is a symptom of a lack of faith and faith is gift. Faith, probity and allegiance are similar terms. Seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness is about doing something to return to your Fathers house where your first allegiance should lie. If you want to live in your Father's house you must seek to serve your Father.

We often realize our lack of faith and forgiveness and our selfish nature. Rather than repenting and changing our thinking and ways, we play the role of the devout martyr, wearing our proverbial sackcloth, donning the garb of the ascetic, fasting and denying natural relationships and joy, even sabotaging the very relationships we claim to seek.

We are continuously pulled back to commune and fellowship as if we need that connection to recharge our batteries. That is sure evidence we are not connecting with God because we are constantly needing others to renew our comfort level. If we are not connecting with God it is us that is blocking that connection. That is usually because we will not repent.

== Backwards thinking ==

{{#ev:youtube|MFzDaBzBlL0|300|right|People are hardwired to think a certain way from youth. Repenting is like learning to ride a backwards bike.

A question that arises when we look at [[Modern Christians]] is did you learn to ride a ''righteous bike'' of [[Christ]] or a ''backwards bike'' of the [[World]]? }}
People like to believe that their "hard wired" way of doing things is already "[[The Way]]", whether you are talking [[Religion|religion]] or [[Politics|politics]].

People learn to think a certain way as children. Their way of thinking is really "hard" wired into their [[Mind]] from their youth. The work it takes to "unlearn" and "relearn" to think a different way, is like riding a ''backwards bike'', it takes a long time.

In the video the man mentioned for him it took eight months, while for his young son it only took two weeks or so. The Israelites spent forty years in the desert learning to think and act a different way than they did when they lived in [[Egypt]].

This is where the seeking of the kingdom and the striving spoken of by Christ is important. The human desire for "easy" and "quick" to feel justified already, and a lack of humility keeps the people "hard wired".

They may also want to get other people to learn to ride "their own bike" like they ride theirs. Because they want to believe that their "bike" is "God's bike", and that they are right in what they are doing. They will oppose anyone who seeks to do things a different way, and if deep down they know they are doing it wrong they may refuse to admit it because of pride and arrogance, so they are likely going to want to force people to do it their way.

We have been told since we were children and are being told today that it is okay to desire benefits at the expense of our neighbor. This of course is coveting our neighbors goods which is against the law of God written down by Moses and is published above the door of the supreme Court.

Yet, everyone is coveting their neighbor's goods who desires benefits from men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] but have the benefactors force their neighbors to contribute to their own [[Welfare]], as well as their free [[Public schools|public schools]] and even their [[Not so Secure Socialism|Social Security]]. We have been taught and have learned to do things opposite of what Christ and the early Church were doing and that is now the only way we know or even think that we can care for the needy of society.

There is no [[Daily ministration]] done by the Church today. The Church has become a social institution where visiting the sick is just chatting with them or maybe driving them to the doctor paid for by those [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority. There is no [[Pure Religion]] in the [[Modern Church]]es today but only a supposed semblance of one. Many want to imagine that they do not have to daily give up their life for others because Christ did it all for us. The truth is if Christ is within us we will be like Christ and feed His sheep and not seek the Free [[Bread and circuses]] of the [[Fathers]] of the earth. Remember [[Christ]] means anointing and anointing refers to the presence of the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Christ.

[[Repent]]ing is about thinking another way and doing things according to [[The Way]] of Christ.

Repenting and seeking the kingdom is like riding a backwards bike or learning to ride the righteous bike of Christ after learning to ride the backwards bike of the [[World]].

We are actually trained to think in covetous ways counter to the ways of the [[Kingdom of God]] and repenting is not only learning to think kingdom aspects while unlearning what we have already accepted as true.

This is why Humility is so important in Kingdom thinking.

In this life we are told to accumulate and become wealthy and secure for ourselves.
But what did Christ say and think?

: "Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him." 1 John 3:16

== Aid Addicts ==

We have become [[Aid Addicts]]. We need or think we need the assistance of the public, self proclaimed [[Benefactors]] of the [[World]] and those ''[[Fathers]] of the earth''. There are steps that you can take within congregations that will help all within a larger community come closer to the ways of the kingdom and draw us nearer to Christ.

This is laid out in [[Aid Addicts]] like the twelve step plans so popular today. There are other pages like [[First to do List]] and [[Doers of the Word]] along with many articles and audio files to help you in this process.

== Long distant congregations ==

We generally do not know what we are to repent of but it is simple. We are still trying to play a god, seeking to control others, rather than serve god by seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

The [[Kingdom of God]] is where God rules us so that we seek to come together not to get something from someone else but to serve like Christ did. We gather to give and forgive not to get recharged or a sense of [[fellowship]] and comradery.<Ref>Comradery is the spirit of friendship and community in a group, like the comradery of soldiers at war who keep each other upbeat despite the difficulty of their circumstances.</Ref> That is one reason long distant congregations are a place to start.

In long distant congregations we are not as easily tempted by the emotional dependence. Like a field of grain or garden the seeds are scattered to give each plant room to grow in the light of day.

'''Financial Dependence'''

While in many cults, members may live with other members in a group living environment and become financially dependent upon the group, kingdom living encourages financial independence. Should a cult member decide to leave the group, it becomes physically difficult or even impossible to sustain oneself outside of that dependency that has been cultivated in the individual.

Winston Churchill wrote that: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” but isolated independence is the road to poverty of the spirit because of the need for [[charitable practices]] which [[includes]] [[sacrifice]].

[[Socialism]] is the [[religion]] you get when you have no [[Pure Religion]].

[[Society]], free or bond, with its product of virtue or vice determines the destiny of the people, for the power and precepts will be born first in their hearts and in their minds.

== Reasons to congregate ==

There are many reasons to congregate together and those reasons are an expression of ''intent''. Intent is the seed of all action in your life and determines the fruit of your life. Intent is the spirit that move us.

Your reasons for congregating should be the purposes of Christ.

'''You should gather:'''

* To save others<Ref>[[John 3]]:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[[John 5]]:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
[[John 12]]:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
[[1 Timothy 1]]:15 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.</Ref>
* To serve others<Ref>[[Luke 22]]:27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.</Ref>
* To forgive others<Ref>[[Matthew 6]]:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
: [[Matthew 18]]:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
: [[Mark 11]]:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.</Ref>
* To love God and one another<Ref>John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
[[John 15]]:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
[[Romans 13]]:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
[[1 Thessalonians 4]]:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
[[1 Peter 1]]:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[[1 John 3]]:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
[[1 John 3]]:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
[[1 John 4]]:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[[1 John 4]]:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[[1 John 4]]:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[[2 John 1]]:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.</Ref>
* To bear witness to the truth.<Ref>John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.</Ref>
* To bring sight to the blind<Ref>[[John 9]]:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.</Ref>

Intent is a child of the heart and action is the offspring of the soul. According to Paulo Coelho “There is always a gap between intention and action..” and the distance between the two is the inverse measure of your sincerity.

Reasons you should '''not''' come together:

* Save your self
* Make life easier for you
* Feel good or even just feel better
* Look good or better or righteous
* Lord it over others as if you are right and they are wrong

Without love and humility there can be no liberty.

== Spiritual Liberty ==

Most of what we see or experience of our spirit is perceived through or mind and our feelings. Spirit giveth life.<Ref>John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
: [[Romans 8]]:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
: [[Romans 8]]:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
: [[2 Corinthians 3]]:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
: [[Galatians 6]]:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
</Ref> But if you want life more abundant you must lay down your life.<Ref>[[Luke 12]]:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
: [[John 10]]:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
[[John 10]]:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
: [[John 15]]:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
: [[1 John 3]]:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.: Romans 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)</Ref> Most of what draws us to the Holy Spirit is [[Sacrifice]].

The [[World]] and [[False religion]] has delivered us into [[bondage]] through our [[Covetous Practices]] and [[Sloth]]. Your [[bondage]] to the systems of the [[world]], your [[surety]] for debt which makes you [[merchandise]], are merely a symptom of your spiritual [[bondage]].

The [[Network]] of the [[Kingdom of God]] allows us to begin a life of [[Charitable Practices]] which will set us free rather than those [[Covetous Practices]] that have made us [[Merchandise]] and [[Curse children|Cursed Children]].

By forming [[Congregations of Record]] you may began to reverse the process that brought you into [[Bondage]] in Spirit and Truth. By the ministers you choose gathering in true [[Congregations of Ministers]] and continuing this pattern of service with dedication a living network of [[Tens|10's, 100's, 1000's]] may continue to form drawing the Holy Spirit and preparing a place for that spirit in each of us.

That is seeking the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].

The Elders of Liberty
are the Altars of Earth

The congregation of the
people is composed of what Abraham called the altars of
earth, or “adamah”. Each of us
are living sacrificial altars of clay, sons of Adam whose Father was
God. We are both priest and king of our own freewill choice. Our
offering within the family and to the community is by charity.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote202anc" HREF="#sdfootnote202sym">202</A>



A minister of
the congregation is first chosen by the people
as we see being done in Acts 6:3.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote203anc" HREF="#sdfootnote203sym">203</A>
Each individual family is represented by the head or elder of the
family who freely chooses their own minister. In the documents and
form offered in service by His Church individuals may be called the
electorate.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote204anc" HREF="#sdfootnote204sym">204</A>

The electorate have been
referred to individually as “elders” of families or
collectively as the laity, from the Greek laos, meaning
people. In terms of the world they may appear to be a constituency,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote205anc" HREF="#sdfootnote205sym">205</A>
but they are simply the people who choose from moment to moment, and
day to day, to support the leadership of those who continue to be
perceived by the people as the ministers of God and the servants of
His people. 


Those who are freely chosen
as by an electorate of elders in a free association are the living
“stone” altars of our sacred sacrifice to God for the
people. They are the public minister of the congregation. 


These chosen ministers are
the unhewn stones of God’s sacred altars. Unhewn is a
metaphor for being unregulated. In their ministration of this system
of faith, hope, and charity the good will of the people for the
people is administered by the choice of the people. The people
maintain their right to decide to whom and how much they shall
contribute. What ever they choose to give is paid in full.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote206anc" HREF="#sdfootnote206sym">206</A>
There is no coercion in the kingdom of God but their own God given
conscience. The ministers have power over how those contributions
shall be managed because once given they are burned up to the people.



The ministers of the Church
have an unregulated authority on how they use that offering, but if
they are not a fruitful government that provides for the people with
love and mercy and strengthens the poor, then the offerings will go
to other ministers. This system of thanksgiving will be like Christ
or perish. Together, the ministers and the people form the temple of
God, made of living earth and stones, formed in their hearts by God.
This is the kingdom of His righteousness.

Charles Guignebert

2018-01-12T23:58:41Z

Claudevt: Both edits are for word tenses and clarity

[[File:Charlesg.jpg|right|thumb|200|Charles Guignebert (1867 - 1939)]]Charles Guignebert was a professor of Church history at the Sorbonne. He wrote the book "Jesus" in 1935, which was eventually translated into English in 1956. He believed in the “historicity of Jesus,” men like Paul-Louis Couchoud, Benjamin Smith, John Mackinnon Robertson, Peter C. Jensen, Albert Kalthoff and Arthur Drews.

None of these writers and scholars had the advantage of Nag Hammadi material, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the extensive advances in archaeology. Some of Guignebert’s arguments may not be as valid today but that would not mean he would agree with the mythicists.

Charles had followed in the shadow of Alfred Firmin Loisy who was a French Roman Catholic priest, professor and theologian generally credited as a founder of Biblical Modernism.
While they were critics of traditional views of the biblical creation, their biblical criticism of Sacred Scripture appeared after centuries of persecution, indoctrination, scattered and competitive reformation and theological undermining of any ideas that would decrease the power of the Catholic Church or the Church of England or even the Greek orthodox.

Once [[religion]] became "what you think about God" the vanity of men drives our thinking toward what psychologists call cognitive immunization. Personal pride and the fear of of the pain that comes from [[Cognitive dissonance]] keeps the masses mentally bound to one ideology or another.

Rationalism is a belief or theory that opinions and actions should be based on reason and knowledge rather than on religious belief or emotional response. But if your facts are limited by design or by default your conclusions may be false. Yes we live in a cause and effect universe but eating of the ''[[trees|tree of knowledge]]'' may produce results the vain man calls rational but are not.

Guignebert believed his approach was more scientific rather than confessional concerning Christian history. But his "scientific " perspective was limited to his personal point of view. He actually concluded with his narrow scholastic view that "We know nothing at all of the personality of Jesus, scarcely anything of the facts of his life, little as to his teaching, and can only speculate as to his career."

He viewed “The gospels" were "texts of propaganda, calculated to organize and authenticate the legend represented in the sacred drama of the sect by making that legend believable, and to conform it to the mythology of the era.”

That may be partially true with [[Matthew]] who clearly tried to write to the skeptics of Hebrew communities. But the gospels were both a record and repository of the basic history but more important the doctrines or teachings of Jesus. While there are differences in the reporting of the gospel they are certainly as accurate as modern media reporting today if not more so.

Guignebert makes numerous outlandish assumptions and conclusions based on testimony which by its nature is incomplete. Concerning the events at Gethsemane, he writes, "That the incident was dramatized after the event, and was even, in the main, entirely imaginary, there can be no doubt, for who could have seen, heard, and reported it, when the only ones who might have witnessed the scene were asleep?"

There is no way to know the details of the events. They are not reported. We know people were awake and fell asleep and were awakened from that sleep but there was no detail reporting of what they saw while they were awake or dozing off. These types of conclusions are fallacious unwarranted conjecture and certainly not scientific.

A major problem that arises in understanding these documents of antiquity is understanding the politics, laws and psychology of the participants within the text. The [[temples]] of that day were government buildings. The temple at Jerusalem was no exception. There were [http://www.hisholychurch.org/media/books/TKC/TKCg7-1Factions.html factions at the altar] of God and like politics or religion of today ''facts do not always matter''.

Without a thorough understanding of the sciences of politics, laws and psychology Guignebert concluded that "The Last Things which Jesus expected did not happen. The Kingdom which he announced did not appear and the prophet died on the cross instead of contemplating the expected Miracle from the hill of Zion. He must then have been mistaken ... Jesus' dream ... ended in failure."

These statements show a compete lack of understanding of the kingdom and how it worked. The Apostles had thousands of Jews accept Jesus as the anointed king, the [[Christ]] on [[Pentecost]]. Those Jews [[repent]]ed of the system of [[Corban]] ''that made the word of God to none effect''. They stopped the [[covetous practices]] that sought [[benefits]] by men who [[exercise authority|exercised authority]]. Christians stopped taking from their neighbors and started caring for one another in [[pure Religion]]. They no longer prayed to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' for their [[free bread]]. They [[daily ministration|worked daily]] in the government temple rightly ''dividing bread from house to house'' saying there is ''another king one Jesus''. The only failure is with the [[modern Christian]] who does not see nor [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]], [[The Way]], nor the [[righteousness]] of God.

Everyone who thinks they already know the truth have no room in their minds for information, no matter how factual, that contradicts what they already believe they know to be true. While the bricks of their prison are stacked in false pattern of information they are mortared together with their own vanity.

Because Charles read accounts from different perspectives and does not understand some of the basics of the gospel at that time he again imagines "the Jesus of John seems quite a different person from the one implied by the Synoptic tradition. He is in every way different---his character, his behavior, his consistently harsh attitude towards the Jews, and the tone of his discourses, which are solemn and lofty exhortations never understood by his hearers, and full of profound meditations on the eternal Christ instead of the familiar teachings about the coming Kingdom and the conditions of entrance to it."

The Gospel of [[John]] is uniquely different than those of the first three Gospels. But this has almost entirely to do with the perspective of the source of those Johannine Scripts. If someone does not understand the message of the first three they can easily be confused by the fourth Gospel to say nothing of Paul's epistles to those Christians who were already doing what Christ said and had stopped doing what the [[Pharisees]] said was okay that was ''[[Corban|making the word of God to none effect]]''.

[[Modern Christians]] cannot see that their [[covetous practices]] have made them [[merchandise]] as predicted by [[Peter]]. They do not see that the [[Voice|voice of the people]] is actually a rejection God and [[Jesus]] as the [[Christ]], so how can they understand the simplicity of the [[Gospel of the Kingdom]].

Because of their ''lack of knowledge'' they appropriate the Divine and fashion Him in their own image and call their faith in that image belief in God and Jesus. Even the definition of religion had changed for Guignebert a hundred years before so he wrote, "In all probability the Gospel writer was only concerned with the religious aspect of this sequence of events in time. Bearing this in mind, it is easy to explain the insuperable divergence which appears between the Synoptic chronological scheme of the events of the Passion and the Johannine scheme, while admitting that the former is lacking in clearness and coherence."

John never even mentioned the word [[religion]] but once it is understood to be in accord with James' version of [[Pure Religion]] both the Johannine Scriptures and the Epistles of John begin to come together with a deeper meaning along with the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] which we are told to seek.

Charles had followed in the shadow of Alfred Firmin Loisy who was a French Roman Catholic priest, professor and theologian generally credited as a founder of Biblical Modernism.
While they were critics of traditional views of the biblical creation, their biblical criticism of Sacred Scripture appeared after centuries of persecution, indoctrination, scattered and competitive reformation and theological undermining of any ideas that would decrease the power of the Catholic Church or the Church of England or even the Greek orthodox.

Once [[religion]] became "what you think about God" the vanity of men drives our thinking toward what psychologists call cognitive immunization. Personal pride and the fear of of the pain that comes from [[Cognitive dissonance]] keeps the masses mentally bound to one ideology or another.

Rationalism is a belief or theory that opinions and actions should be based on reason and knowledge rather than on religious belief or emotional response. But if your facts are limited by design or by default your conclusions may be false. Yes we live in a cause and effect universe but eating of the ''[[trees|tree of knowledge]]'' may produce results the vain man calls rational but are not.

Guignebert believed his approach was more scientific rather than confessional concerning Christian history. But his "scientific " perspective was limited to his personal point of view. He actually concluded with his narrow scholastic view that "We know nothing at all of the personality of Jesus, scarcely anything of the facts of his life, little as to his teaching, and can only speculate as to his career."

He viewed “The gospels" were "texts of propaganda, calculated to organize and authenticate the legend represented in the sacred drama of the sect by making that legend believable, and to conform it to the mythology of the era.”

That may be partially true with [[Matthew]] who clearly tried to write to the skeptics of Hebrew communities. But the gospels were both a record and repository of the basic history but more important the doctrines or teachings of Jesus. While there are differences in the reporting of the gospel they are certainly as accurate as modern media reporting today if not more so.

Guignebert makes numerous outlandish assumptions and conclusions based on testimony which by its nature is incomplete. Concerning the events at Gethsemane, he writes, "That the incident was dramatized after the event, and was even, in the main, entirely imaginary, there can be no doubt, for who could have seen, heard, and reported it, when the only ones who might have witnessed the scene were asleep?"

There is no way to know the details of the events. They are not reported. We know people were awake and fell asleep and were awakened from that sleep but there was no detail reporting of what they saw while they were awake or dozing off. These types of conclusions are fallacious unwarranted conjecture and certainly not scientific.

A major problem that arises in understanding these documents of antiquity is understanding the politics, laws and psychology of the participants within the text. The [[temples]] of that day were government buildings. The temple at Jerusalem was no exception. There were [http://www.hisholychurch.org/media/books/TKC/TKCg7-1Factions.html factions at the altar] of God and like politics or religion of today ''facts do not always matter''.

Without a thorough understanding of the sciences of politics, laws and psychology Guignebert concluded that "The Last Things which Jesus expected did not happen. The Kingdom which he announced did not appear and the prophet died on the cross instead of contemplating the expected Miracle from the hill of Zion. He must then have been mistaken ... Jesus' dream ... ended in failure."

These statements show a compete lack of understanding of the kingdom and how it worked. The Apostles had thousands of Jews accept Jesus as the anointed king, the [[Christ]] on [[Pentecost]]. Those Jews [[repent]]ed of the system of [[Corban]] ''that made the word of God to none effect''. They stopped the [[covetous practices]] that sought [[benefits]] by men who [[exercise authority|exercised authority]]. Christians stopped taking from their neighbors and started caring for one another in [[pure Religion]]. They no longer prayed to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' for their [[free bread]]. They [[daily ministration|worked daily]] in the government temple rightly ''dividing bread from house to house'' saying there is ''another king one Jesus''. The only failure is with the [[modern Christian]] who does not see nor [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]], [[The Way]], nor the [[righteousness]] of God.

Everyone who thinks they already know the truth have no room in their minds for information, no matter how factual, that contradicts what they already believe they know to be true. While the bricks of their prison are stacked in false pattern of information they are mortared together with their own vanity.

Because Charles read accounts from different perspectives and does not understand some of the basics of the gospel at that time he again imagines "the Jesus of John seems quite a different person from the one implied by the Synoptic tradition. He is in every way different---his character, his behavior, his consistently harsh attitude towards the Jews, and the tone of his discourses, which are solemn and lofty exhortations never understood by his hearers, and full of profound meditations on the eternal Christ instead of the familiar teachings about the coming Kingdom and the conditions of entrance to it."

The Gospel of [[John]] is uniquely different than those of the first three Gospels. But this has almost entirely to do with the perspective of the source of those Johannine Scripts. If someone does not understand the message of the first three they can easily be confused by the fourth Gospel to say nothing of Paul's epistles to those Christians who were already doing what Christ said and had stopped doing what the [[Pharisees]] said was okay that was ''[[Corban|making the word of God to none effect]]''.

[[Modern Christians]] cannot see that their [[covetous practices]] have made them [[merchandise]] as predicted by [[Peter]]. They do not see that the [[Voice|voice of the people]] have rejected God and [[Jesus]] as the [[Christ]] so how can they understand the simplicity of the [[Gospel of the Kingdom]].

Because of their ''lack of knowledge'' they appropriate the Divine and fashion Him in their own image and call their faith in that image belief in God and Jesus. Even the definition of religion had changed for Guignebert a hundred years before so he wrote, "In all probability the Gospel writer was only concerned with the religious aspect of this sequence of events in time. Bearing this in mind, it is easy to explain the insuperable divergence which appears between the Synoptic chronological scheme of the events of the Passion and the Johannine scheme, while admitting that the former is lacking in clearness and coherence."

John never even mentioned the word [[religion]] but once it is understood to be in accord with James' version of [[Pure Religion]] both the Johannine Scriptures and the Epistles of John begin to come together with a deeper meaning along with the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] which we are told to seek.

Dry bones

2018-01-09T13:12:17Z

Claudevt: /* Dry Bones */ removed extra [ r] in 'word'

== Dry Bones ==

[[File:dry-bones1.jpg|left|300px|thumb|in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones]]
In [[Ezekiel 37]]:1 "The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley<Ref> 01237 ^העקב^ biq‘ah from 01234 ^עקב^ baqa‘ \@baw-kah’\@ a primitive root; v 1) to split, cleave, break open, divide, break through, rip up, break up, tear or breach</Ref> which [was] full of bones,"

That is where the people are at today. Like the dead burying the dead<Ref>[[Matthew 8]]:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
[[Luke 9]]:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.</Ref> the people are like dry bones in a valley.

But the Lord asked "Son of man, can these bones live?"

So what did God instruct and do?

He said:
: "Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD....
: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:"
God caused the prophet topass by these bones and he found the people to be very dry and without the life of the spirit.<Ref> [[Ezekiel 37]]:2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.</Ref>

And the Lord asked him if he believed the bones could live again? But Ezekiel knew that only God could tell if they could live again.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]: 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.</Ref>

Ezeikiel was told to ''Prophesy upon the bones''.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.</Ref> Prophesy is from the word ''naba'' which is NunBeitAlef [אבנ] <Ref> 05012 ^’ \@naw-baw’\@ a primitive root; v; AV-prophesy 111, prophesying 2, prophet 2; 115 : 1) to prophesy under influence of divine spirit</Ref> which is said to be a root word. But the Hebrew word Nob which is NunBeit [בנ]<Ref>05011 ^בנ^ Nob \@nobe\@ the same as 05108; ; n pr loc AV-Nob 6; 6 Nob= "high place"</Ref> means ''high place'' and said to be the same as the Hebrew nuwb [בונ] NunVavBeit<Ref>05108 ^בונ^ nowb \@nobe\@ or ^בינ^ neyb \@nabe\@ from 05107; n m; AV-fruit 2; 2 1) fruit: 05107 ^בונ^ nuwb \@noob\@ a primitive root; v; AV-bring forth 2, increase 1, make cheerful 1; 4 1) to bear fruit... to make to flourish (fig.)</Ref> meaning [[fruit]] from the verb meaning ''bear fruit''.

Jesus said he would take the [[Kingdom of God]] from the [[Pharisees]] and given to others who would bear fruit.<Ref>[[Matthew 21]]:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.</Ref>

Jesus warns us that a tree must bear fruit or it will be cut down.<Ref> [[Luke 13]]:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.</Ref> and to bear fruit we must abide or live in Him according to his ways and life.<Ref>[[John 15]]:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.</Ref>

Ezekiel was told that these bones were to come together with the ''breath of the Lord''.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: </Ref> Jesus would tell the disciples the same thing.<Ref>[[John 20]]:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:</Ref> In both cases God would cause sinews to come upon those bones, and will bring up flesh upon them, and cover them with skin. Then they will live by His spirit or breath.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]:6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.</Ref>

He is talking about the people becoming a body of living creatures who begin to bear fruit which also happened at [[Pentecost]] with the receiving of His Holy Spirit.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.</Ref>

But ''life'' is not seen in that body at first when the bones are still separate... But only when your body comes together then He will bring breath into the whole body and that body will be alive too.

So they would not come alive even after they came together until there was a ''Prophesy unto the wind''.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.</Ref>

After the ''breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, they became an exceeding great army.''
[[File:dry-bones.jpg|right|300px|thumb|breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, they became an exceeding great army]]
These bones were the whole house of Israel whose bones were dried and their hope was lost they were scattered.

This is the true Church today.

The Church in general is not a building but is people who come together and receive the breath of the LORD as they [[Repent]] from their [[Workers of iniquity|works of iniquity]] and their [[Covetous Practices]]. They arise to become [[Doer]]s of the word and not hearers only.

The Church was the government of God that did not [[Exercises authority|exercise authority one over the other]] like the governemnts of the [[world]]. The church did exercise [[charity]] and [[love]] through [[faith]] and hope according to the [[Perfect law of liberty]]. It was their [[Charitable practices]] that would bear [[fruit]] as through their [[sacrifice]] and fasting they were drawn near the LORD and He to them.

: "And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:" [[Ezekiel 37]]:21

The [[Modern Christians]] have ''rejected'' God like the Israelite in the days of Samuel [[1 Samuel 8]] the [[voice]] of the people elected men who could rule over them and provide [[benefits]] at the expense of their neighbor like [[Rome]]. They have gone out of [[The Way]] following the ways of the [[World]] while professing His [[Name]] in vane. They have gone into debt, not keeping the [[Sabbath]] which is about remaining free of debt.

Few can say they have not taken any [[benefits]] from the [[Benefactors]] of the [[world]] and the [[Fathers]] of the earth.

All of Israel was in bondage for hundreds of years because their parents agreed to serve the Pharaoh if he would feed them in the time of famine. They were born in servitude because what their parents did before them... The people are again in the [[Employ|bondage of Egypt]] and again there is a way out. But we the people must become a voluntary government of the people, not just for ourselves but for other people. We have to do what Israel did during hard times of the famine and we must do what the early Church did during hard times of the decline and fall of [[Rome]].

“... ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you...” [[1 Samuel 8]]:18 <Ref> “Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion , and speak evil of dignities.” [[Jude 1]]:8 See Eph. 1:2, Col. 1:16, [[2 Peter 2]]:10</Ref>

We have a choice:

[[Judges 10]]:14 [[Go and cry]] unto the [[gods]] which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

[[Jeremiah 2]]:2 [[Go and cry]] in the ears of Jerusalem<Ref>Jerusalem means "double peace". If we seek God in spirit and in truth, in our minds and our body, in our heart and in our deeds we will find Jerusalem.</Ref>, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

We are the dry bones today and we must come together in [[The Way]] and life of Christ who came to serve not be served. We we wish to be heard again we must follow the instructions of [[Isaiah 58]]:9 and [[John the Baptist]] and the early Church.

There is need of [[Repent|repentance]]. We need to return to the ways of Christ and the early [[Church]] while remaining friends of the unrighteous [[Mammon]]. We the people must become the true [[Church]] and do as they did in [[Rome]]:

: "And those who have among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost." Chapter LXVII.—Weekly worship of the Christians. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr.

== Bones Commanded ==

[[File:Jesusfeeds.jpg|left|300px|thumb| Before he fed 5000 men according to [[Mark 6]]:39-40 Jesus "commanded" that they be organized in groups like [[Moses]] had directed the people in [[Exodus 18]]:10-25. This pattern of small congregations of [[Tens| ten men]] who [[network]]ed together in [[The_Congregation|"ranks or divisions" of fifties and hundreds]] had been the foundation of Israel as a nation and was the also the pattern we see in the [[early Church]]. There would be no loaves and fishes until the people complied with the ''"command"'' of Jesus. Like the '''[[dry bones]]''' of Ezekiel they would not come together until the received the breath of God.]]

Cognitive dissonance

2018-01-06T19:38:49Z

Claudevt: added a comma and the word [ have]

[[File:minduniversel.jpg|right|thumb|The mental stress experienced by an individual who want to believe a lie to be true.]]'''[[Cognitive dissonance]]''', in psychology, is the mental stress experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time. This stress may also arise within an individual who holds a belief and performs a contradictory action.

One example has been where people know smoking is bad for you but continues to do it.

"The existence of dissonance, being psychologically uncomfortable, will motivate the person to try to reduce the dissonance and achieve consonance"

"When dissonance is present, in addition to trying to reduce it, the person will actively avoid situations and information which would likely increase the dissonance"

This is where people will have to blot out the stress with a variety of addictions.

Music, movies, mind altering drugs, alcohol, tobacco and numerous things which they may claim helps them '''"deal with stress"'''.

The reason they reach for these things is to avoid dealing with the stress and the cause of it. Seeking groups, conventions or crowds of people who will think like you and assure you that you are okay despite the stress you have. Because of the conflict between what you want to believe is true and what you do are doing is causing you stress you will seek anything that will give you relief.

'''[[Cognitive dissonance]]''', in psychology, is the mental stress that results from hypocrisy which is defined as "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense."

Another example is when people continue to sin but want to believe their are saved from sin. This would mean that most Churches promote the continuation of [[Cognitive dissonance]] by seeking to make people comfortable with their common hypocrisy

There is a cognitive dissidence in modern religions because they want to believe they are "saved" or "blessed" or "accepted".

It is simply not righteous or ''a Christ'' thing to do to send men to your neighbors house and force your neighbor to contribute because you have no coat or need healthcare or want free education for your children. It is not loving your neighbor. It is coveting your neighbor's life and goods.

Such activities will make you a human resource or as Peter calls it ''merchandise''. What should have been for your welfare will become a snare… as Paul and David wrote.

The fact is people are under a strong delusion. They often imagine they are saved and born again while they are not doing what Christ said or even believe they should do as he said. It is not loving your neighbor as Moses and Jesus said but coveting as was forbidden by most religions.

Yet the religious people today seek the benefits of those [[Gods|gods]] [[World|of the world]] and apply for benefits from men who call themselves [[Benefactors|benefactors]] but exercise authority by taking from their neighbor to provide those benefits.

To desire those benefits at the expense of your neighbor, rich or poor is the definition of coveting. This desire and hunger for security and benefits at the expense of others creates a cognitive dissonance.

== Solutions and Therapy ==

Some social psychologists have argued that the act of freely choosing a specific therapy, together with the effort and money invested by the client in order to continue to engage in the chosen therapy, "positively influences the effectiveness of therapy."<Ref>Cooper, J., & Axsom, D. (1982). Integration of clinical and social psychology. Oxford University Press.</Ref>

When an individual has a right and exercises a right to act on their own behalf or the behalf of others the result is a release from the compulsion caused by cognitive dissonance.

While there is evidence that continuous conflict will have effects on the brain itself, there is no doubt that cognitive dissonance will influence an individual's attitude and behavior.

There are numerous theories that challenge ''cognitive dissonance'' like Bem's Self-perception theory, Heider's Balance theory, Cost-benefit analysis and Self-discrepancy or Averse consequences theory.

All these are modern science's own cognitive dissonance terms to the fact that the selfish nature of man which results in all the problems of society can only be overcome with a consistent therapeutic practice of forgiveness and forgiving taught by Christ and the prophets.

Exercise authority

2018-01-06T19:16:05Z

Claudevt: added a [t] and [and they]

[[Image:cain.jpg|right|thumb|Rulers who use [[Forced|force]] to exercise authority were like '''[[Cain]]''', [[Nimrod]], [[Herod]] and [[Caesar]]. The Kingdom of God uses [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] through the [[perfect law of liberty]].]]

== Exercise authority ==

Do the ministers of the Church established by Christ have the right to exercise authority over the people or rule over them in any way?

Accepting the doctrines of [[modern Christians]] and there interpretation of [[1 Peter 2:13]], [[Titus 3:1]] or [[Hebrews 13]] may lead people away from the true nature of the [[Gospel of the kingdom]].

We see three places where Jesus specifically instructs us to not Exercise authority one over the other:

: Mt 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great [[exercise authority]] upon them. But it shall not be so among you:...
: Mr 10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones [[exercise authority]] upon them. But ye shall not be so:...
: Lu 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that [[exercise authority]] upon them are called [[Benefactors|benefactors]]. But ye shall not be so: But ye shall not be so:...

Do these ministers have authority to "rule over" the people as it seems to suggest in [[Hebrews 13]]:7 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."
*: The word "rule" is not the Greek word 'arche' meaning 'ruler' but 'hegeomai' meaning 'leader', "leading as respects influence... overseers or leaders of the churches" but they are not to be like the rulers of other people who exercise authority one over the other. Most often translated count 10 times, think 4, esteem. The ministers appointed by Christ to be His Church should be leaders who take "count" of the people they serve in the name of the Lord as his servants.

What about [[Hebrews 13]]:17 "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."
*: The word "obey" is commonly translated ''persuade'' and ''trust''<Ref>{{3982}} </Ref> which is translated ''trust'' in the very next verse... and again ''rule over'' means those that ''account'' for you in the kingdom not ''rule over'' as in exercise authority.

We see the word "submit" at least 7 times in the New Testament. The Greek word “hupotasso” translated "submit" actually appears 40 times but is seldom translated "submit".

The Greek word “hupotasso” means “to arrange” yourself according to your own conscience, to voluntary cooperate. It does not mean that we give others the right to ''"rule over"'' us as an [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] as some suggest in [[Hebrews 13]].

== Ruling Bishops ==

It was the Church established by [[Constantine]] who brought in [[bishop]]s and [[priests]] who could exercise authority one over the other. We certainly see that pattern with [[Ambrose]] and [[Augustine of Hippo]].

The book "Pagan Christianity" by Frank Viola and George Barna shows the introduction of many pagan holidays and ideas. It also suggests that there were no official offices or official leaders in the [[early Church]]. <Ref>"Up until the second century, the church had no official leadership. That it had leaders is without dispute. But the leadership was unofficial in the sense that there were no religious 'offices'. "The Birth of One-Bishop Rule."</Ref>

The suggestion that Ignatius of Antioch was instrumental in establishing an authoritarian office is an unwarranted supposition. Dr. William P. Killen regarded most all the Ignatian epistles as being "Entirely Spurious" having been pseudepigraphically composed in the 3rd century<Ref> Killen, William P., [https://depts.drew.edu/jhc/KillenIgnatius.pdf The Ignatian Epistles Entirely Spurious], T. & T. Clark, Edinburgh, 1886</Ref> which would be after the surge of [[Constantine]]'s Church which was looking for justification for its episcopal hierarchical polity as a form of church governance.

There were offices in the original Church appointed by [[Jesus]] who was the [[Christ]], the Messiah, the anointed, the highest son of David. He said he was going to ''take the kingdom from''<Ref>Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.</Ref> the [[Pharisees]] who ''sat in the seat of [[Moses]]'' and [[appoint]] it to his '''[[little flock]]''' who would bear fruit. To say "Up until the second century, the church had no official leadership." is simply not true. Yes they had leaders and those leaders [[bishop]]s, [[minister]]s and [[deacon]]s were officially appointed but the word they should use to describe that office is "titular".

Even the [[Seven Men]] elected by the people but appointed by Peter over a certain ''business'' just like the [[Seven men]] appointed in the Old Testament was an office. They had authority over what was given them but not over the people who gave it.

These ministers of the [[early Church]] had a job to do. Christians would not [[pray]] to the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' nor to those men who called themselves [[Benefactors]] who exercised authority. They would not eat the [[Free bread]] of [[Rome]] nor sign up for the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] because that would have been [[covetous practices|covetous]].

Because they would not take the [[benefits]] of those pagan government [[temples]] they often came into [[Christian conflict|conflict with Rome]]. Christians lived by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] which is [[love]] and they practiced that love as a [[peculiar people]] according to the [[perfect law of liberty]].

== Who is to have authority ==

An [[Elder]] or presbyter was not an office of the Church but simply the eldest or head of a family group.<Ref>[[1 Peter 5]]:1-5 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.</Ref> The head of each family picked a minister in small groups of [[Tens]]. These groups were [[free assemblies]]. The purpose of the minister was to connect those ten families in a network of charity with ten other congregations of families. Those ministers would pick a minister who was often called an ''episcopo'', or bishop who was an overseer of [[Tens|one hundred]] families, not to rule but to serve them in love. They did not rule over the people but facilitated the community charity on a broader scale.

* '''"Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand."''' [[2 Corinthians 1]]:24

So who should have authority in the [[Kingdom of God]]?

It should be God ruling in the hearts and minds of every individual within each family.

This is a common theme from the sin of [[Cain]] and [[Nimrod]], from [[Abraham]] to [[Baptism|John the Baptist]] and [[Christ]].

It is an instruction in relationship to government of nations.

'''[[Polybius]] believed all [[Democracy|democracies]] fail.'''

"The masses continue with an [[appetite]] for [[benefits]] and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence;
<Ref>[[Matthew 11]]:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. </Ref>
and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,<Ref>Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.</Ref> until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." <Ref>"But when a new generation arises and the
democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become so accustomed to freedom and equality that they no longer value them, and begin to aim at pre-eminence; and it is chiefly those of ample fortune who fall into this error. 6
So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. 7 And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. 8 For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is
enterprising but is excluded from the houses of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; 9and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch" Polybius: The Histories (composed at Rome around 130 BC)[https://factystaff.richmond.edu/~wstevens/FYStexts/Polybius6.pdf Fragments of Book VI], p289 </Ref>

The authoritarian state uses force and violence to become the [[Benefactors]] of the people. They force one class of citizen to provide for another. Christ forbid that type of government. He told us not to make the [http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/fatherabba.php Fathers of the earth] our [[Benefactors]].

[[Patronus]] 
... the ruler, Ceasar, president, king, potentate or executive that exercises authority over his people, his nation, his citizens and nationals (a substitute family...)

[[Anarchist]] 
...government, but rather only withOUT a government that exercises a ruling authority, dominion and control over its citizens. ...ureaucracy or hierarchical system that controls society with an exercising authority. The Bible translates the Greek word hodegos (odhgov) leader, or guide.

[[Goats and Sheep]] 
...the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them." ...er the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them."

[[Benefactors]] 
... kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called '''benefactors'''. But ye shall not be so: but he that The same reference to governments that exercise authority one over the other is found in :

[[Christian conflict]] 
...government that called themselves a [[Benefactors|Benefactor]] but exercised authority one over the other. ...ted the Church to be those [[Benefactors|Benefactors]] who do not exercise authority one over the other but feed his sheep, provided daily bread and took care

[[Cognitive dissonance]] 
...fits from men who call themselves [[Benefactors|benefactors]] but exercise authority by taking from their neighbor to provide those benefits. When an individual has a right and exercises a right to act on their own behalf or the behalf of others...

The Kingdom, a
Society under God

We have been directed to
preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The word kingdom<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote154anc" HREF="#sdfootnote154sym">154</A>
in the New Testament is translated from a Greek word that has more to
do with the right or authority to be ruled by someone, rather than
rule in a particular place or location. God endowed everyman with
certain unalienable rights. The kingdom is that body of men and
women, righteous in their generations, seeking the will of God,
faithful to His ways and having no other gods before Him. Nor do they
oppress the stranger or covet their neighbors’ goods for their
own benefit. They are free souls under God.

Abraham left Haran with
many souls. Moses led the people out of the bondage of the Egyptian
government. The Israelites wandered in the desert under a different
system of self government. The people were required to attend to the
needs of that society of God by free will offerings through a network
of voluntary contributions. This is what John<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote155anc" HREF="#sdfootnote155sym">155</A>
and Jesus preached. This is the kingdom. 


The people were told to
never again go back<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote156anc" HREF="#sdfootnote156sym">156</A>
to the Egyptian system of bondage<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote157anc" HREF="#sdfootnote157sym">157</A>
and compulsory offerings.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote158anc" HREF="#sdfootnote158sym">158</A>
Such systems were like the city of Cain and Nimrod ruled by
benefactors who exercised authority, ruling over their neighbors in
covetous systems that made the word of God to none effect. 


In the ancient days of the
kingdom the people had been freed by God through Abraham and Moses.
There was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right
in his own eyes<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote159anc" HREF="#sdfootnote159sym">159</A>
in a system of self governance by freewill offerings and public
servants who could not exercise authority. 


That system worked for a
whole nation until the people rejected God.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote160anc" HREF="#sdfootnote160sym">160</A>
When the “voice of the people” chose to give their power
of choice to Saul they gave up a right given them by God. Under
bondage they forgot the precepts of God and were soon overcome by
selfishness, sloth, and superstition. 


Christ came as king to take
that kingdom away from those who were supposed to be bearing fruit
and give it to another who would take their place.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote161anc" HREF="#sdfootnote161sym">161</A>
They were not maintaining an entrance to the kingdom of God.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote162anc" HREF="#sdfootnote162sym">162</A>
In fact, they kept people from entering the ways of God through their
ordinances.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote163anc" HREF="#sdfootnote163sym">163</A>



Jesus was the
king, doing the work of a righteous king setting the people free. He
told us to teach all nations how that kingdom functioned in the name
of God<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote164anc" HREF="#sdfootnote164sym">164</A>
under the perfect law of liberty.

The Kingdom, a
Society under God

We have been directed to
preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The word kingdom<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote154anc" HREF="#sdfootnote154sym">154</A>
in the New Testament is translated from a Greek word that has more to
do with the right or authority to be ruled by someone, rather than
rule in a particular place or location. God endowed everyman with
certain unalienable rights. The kingdom is that body of men and
women, righteous in their generations, seeking the will of God,
faithful to His ways and having no other gods before Him. Nor do they
oppress the stranger or covet their neighbors’ goods for their
own benefit. They are free souls under God.

Abraham left Haran with
many souls. Moses led the people out of the bondage of the Egyptian
government. The Israelites wandered in the desert under a different
system of self government. The people were required to attend to the
needs of that society of God by free will offerings through a network
of voluntary contributions. This is what John<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote155anc" HREF="#sdfootnote155sym">155</A>
and Jesus preached. This is the kingdom. 


The people were told to
never again go back<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote156anc" HREF="#sdfootnote156sym">156</A>
to the Egyptian system of bondage<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote157anc" HREF="#sdfootnote157sym">157</A>
and compulsory offerings.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote158anc" HREF="#sdfootnote158sym">158</A>
Such systems were like the city of Cain and Nimrod ruled by
benefactors who exercised authority, ruling over their neighbors in
covetous systems that made the word of God to none effect. 


In the ancient days of the
kingdom the people had been freed by God through Abraham and Moses.
There was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right
in his own eyes<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote159anc" HREF="#sdfootnote159sym">159</A>
in a system of self governance by freewill offerings and public
servants who could not exercise authority. 


That system worked for a
whole nation until the people rejected God.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote160anc" HREF="#sdfootnote160sym">160</A>
When the “voice of the people” chose to give their power
of choice to Saul they gave up a right given them by God. Under
bondage they forgot the precepts of God and were soon overcome by
selfishness, sloth, and superstition. 


Christ came as king to take
that kingdom away from those who were supposed to be bearing fruit
and give it to another who would take their place.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote161anc" HREF="#sdfootnote161sym">161</A>
They were not maintaining an entrance to the kingdom of God.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote162anc" HREF="#sdfootnote162sym">162</A>
In fact, they kept people from entering the ways of God through their
ordinances.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote163anc" HREF="#sdfootnote163sym">163</A>



Jesus was the
king, doing the work of a righteous king setting the people free. He
told us to teach all nations how that kingdom functioned in the name
of God<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote164anc" HREF="#sdfootnote164sym">164</A>
under the perfect law of liberty.

In a Jewish worship service the ancient blessings of praise
and thanksgiving to God such as Sh'ma, Amidah (Standing
Prayer) or Tfilah (The Prayer) are often recited and Psalms
might be sung.

The modern Christian worship
service often includes singing both traditional Christian hymns
and choruses or more modern renditions of songs and praises,
scripture reading and a sermon.

Such communal activities give
participants a sense of fellowship and solemnity but is this what
worshiping is about? Does God want singing and praise or justice and
mercy?
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“Justice and judgment [are] the
habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.”

In the military the day starts
with a pledge of allegiance and solemn raising of the flag. It is
common to see several hundred men marching in cadence singing in
union. Are these also forms of worship? Could we also include as
worship the staid rising to sing the Star Spangled Banner at
political conventions or ball games or rising for a judge at his
entry into the courtroom?

<A NAME="W0230400"></A><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 1"></A>
The word worship in modern dictionaries is defined,
"The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a
sacred object." Before early Americans came from England it was
common to use the word worship, "as a form of
address for magistrates, mayors, and certain other dignitaries."<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote1anc" HREF="#sdfootnote1sym">1</A>
Nothing has contributed more to the
control of the mind of man than the ability to alter the meaning of
words. Words may be changed but the original meaning is for ever
locked in time and history.

A little over a hundred years
ago, in Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary the word worship is
found defined, "homage rendered to God which it is sinful
(idolatry) to render to any created being (Ex. 34:14; Isa. 2:8). Such
worship was refused by Peter (Acts 10:25,26)<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote2anc" HREF="#sdfootnote2sym">2</A>
and by an angel (Rev. 22:8,9)".<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote3anc" HREF="#sdfootnote3sym">3</A>

<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 2"></A>Easton
says worship is homage which is "Ceremonial acknowledgment by a
vassal of allegiance to his lord under feudal law." This seems
closer to the meaning of the authors of scripture than singing on
Sabbath or Sunday. What any word means in a Biblical sense is
dependent upon the meaning and intent of the author and does not
change with modern opinions, philosophies or doctrines.

The word worship in the New
Testament is consistently from the Greek word proskuneo<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote4anc" HREF="#sdfootnote4sym">4</A>
which is formed from two words, the preposition unto or to and the
word for dog. It literally meant “meaning to kiss, like a dog
licking his master’s hand.”
<H3 CLASS="western">Worship in the Old Testament</H3>
The Greek word proskuneo
is consistently translated worship in the New Testament but
since Jesus did not preach in Greek we may assume that proskuneo
is simply the Greek substitute for the Hebrew word translated
worship. But there is not just one Hebrew word translated into
worship and the words that are translated into worship are not
consistently translated the same..
One Hebrew word translated
worship first appears in Genesis 22:5, "And Abraham
said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the
lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."

We are to believe by the
traditional translation of the text that Abraham is going off to
worship God and make a sacrifice of his son as he believed
that was the will of God. Here the word worship was shachah
which means "to bow down" in the sense of obeisance
as in the recognition of rank. This is not the first place shachah,
[hxv
Shin, Chet Hei],
appears in the Testaments.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“And
he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and
when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed
himself toward the ground,” Genesis 18:2
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The Hebrew word we often see as
worship is also translated bow 31 times, bow down
18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3 times
and themselves twice, also stoop and crouch once
each. The same three letter word in Hebrew [7811,
hxv Shin,
Chet Hei] is also translated swim.
This concept of bowing toward
the ground as a form of worship is a way of recognizing rank
which is the essential quality of the homage as expressed with
the Aramaic word sagid, dgo ,
[Semech, Gimel, Dalet] is
translated into worship<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote5anc" HREF="#sdfootnote5sym">5</A>
in Daniel but is defined "to prostrate oneself, do homage."
The same three letter Hebrew
word [dgo Semech,
Gimel, Dalet] appears in Isaiah and are given a different
Strong's number [5456] translated “fall down” in
relationship to false gods. If you exchange the Dalet with the letter
Nun, you get the Hebrew word for governor and ruler. Exchange the
Dalet with a Reish and you get the Hebrew word for shut up,
enclose or imprison.
We also find the word worship
as in worshipers of Baal in 2 Kings to be from abad, dbe,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote6anc" HREF="#sdfootnote6sym">6</A>
meaning to labor but more in the sense of "to be
compelled to work" or " to be enticed to serve." Even
the word Baal means "lord" and again expresses a
superior rank with subordinate service as a form of compelled duty or
worship. Cain was a tiller of the ground<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote7anc" HREF="#sdfootnote7sym">7</A>.
The ground he compelled into his service was Adamah, translated as
land, earth, ground, but also husbandman and country. Was Cain the
ground or forcing other sons of Adam to labor for him, to bow, down,
to pay him homage?

Shachah, hxv,
is seen in the ten commandments associated with service and again
translated bow down. Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: …

Rank, homage, service are
political concepts and of course Biblically speaking Abraham was
leaving City or Civil States of Ur and Haran to be free of paying
homage to the gods of the city. He chose to pay homage to the
God of Creation, God the Father. He even established “altars”
of living stone so that the people may live according to the perfect
law of liberty.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote8anc" HREF="#sdfootnote8sym">8</A>
In the Old Testament the words
"gods" and "God" are translated from the single
word 'elohiym in the plural. 'Elohiym is defined
"rulers, judges" and "occasionally applied as
deference to magistrates"<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote9anc" HREF="#sdfootnote9sym">9</A>
while in the New Testament the word God is translated from the Greek
word theos which figuratively means "a magistrate."
Emperors and Presidents often hold the office of Apotheos, appointer
of gods,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote10anc" HREF="#sdfootnote10sym">10</A>
because they are the appointer of judges within their jurisdictional
states.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote11anc" HREF="#sdfootnote11sym">11</A>

The most common word translated
into worship in the New Testament is proskuneo. It does
not mean bow down but rather to kiss the hand. This
translation does not do justice to its meaning. Among the Orientals
it did include the idea of falling upon the knee and is simply a
token of reverence by kneeling or prostration to do homage (to
one) or make obeisance. Proskuneo was a word used of
homage shown to men and beings of superior rank. But obeisance<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote12anc" HREF="#sdfootnote12sym">12</A>
alone is not enough for rulers for there is no profit in bowing
alone.
The word latreuo from
latris (a hired menial, employee); is also translated worship
and worshiper in the New Testament and means to serve for
hire and also includes the idea of homage.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote13anc" HREF="#sdfootnote13sym">13</A>

What worship truly means in the
Bible has a common theme and significance. It has to do with homage
and rank of a superior and inferior citizens of a political state.
Jesus and John the Baptist preached a kingdom not a religion.

At the time of Christ there was
a complaint of the Helenization of the Jewish traditions. In Plato's
Laws On Musical Worship for Apollo he states,

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">"In order, then, that the soul of
the child… obey the law… I say, to produce this effect,
chants appear to have been invented, which really enchant, and are
designed to implant that harmony of which we speak."
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western"><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 3"></A>"And
similarly the true legislator will persuade, and, if he cannot
persuade, will compel the poet to express, as he ought, by fair and

music of temperate and brave and in every way good men."<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote14anc" HREF="#sdfootnote14sym">14</A>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
I suspect that the modern
transformation of the word worship from a political act of
homage and recognition of superior rank is a completion of that
ancient demagoguery of the Greeks. Certainly the modern preaching has
more in common with the Greek orators than the question and answers
coming during the New Testament sermons.

Israel was a kingdom not a
religion. Judea was the remnant of that kingdom steeped in apostasy
with usurpers occupying the office of the crown and the public
service in the temple. Jesus came preaching a kingdom at hand not a
religion. The worship in the kingdom of Heaven is not merely lip
service or verbal praise and melodious singing, but is a
manifestation of the homage owed the King and His Father.

Homage is a ceremony that gives
evidence of submission but with that submission the people are
required to give their substance to their master or masters, their
law makers, rulers and judges. Religion is an aspect of every
government. It is in essence the caring for the widows, orphans and
needy of society. In the kingdom there is also an aspect of religion
that requires us to accomplish this task with free will offering in
faith, hope and charity. Pure religion<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote15anc" HREF="#sdfootnote15sym">15</A>
is well defined in the bible.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“But
this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which

</BLOCKQUOTE>
What was the doctrine of the
"Nicolaitans"? There was a connection between them and
Balaam. Balaam is from the Hebrew word 'Baal' meaning lord
or master and 'am' references the people. It is
an expression of superior rank over the people contrary to the
directive of Christ, the King.

Nike is the Greek word
for conqueror with nikos meaning victor. Laos
is a word for people. Nicolaitan and Baalam are two different
forms of the same idea. Both include the idea of rank, lordship and
submission to an exercising authority who can judge the people. They
are systems that make gods, or judging rulers, of men, who other men
must pay homage too. Homage being fealty or allegiance.

Cain did the same in the first
city state and the kings of Israel chosen by the people, when the
people rejected God, also forced the homage and sacrifice<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote22anc" HREF="#sdfootnote22sym">22</A>
of the people, whipping them with whips and scorpions.
<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 6"></A>There
is a controversy concerning who is the clergy and laity or people in
the kingdom of Heaven. It is clear by the Biblical text that Jesus
appointed certain individuals to positions of service. Those
individuals also made appointments of ministering trustees chosen by
the people.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote23anc" HREF="#sdfootnote23sym">23</A>
The word clergy is simply the clerks of the kingdom, the
bondservants of the King and public servants of the people. While the
laity are the people who enjoy the perfect law of liberty with its
burden of individual responsibility and its reward of redemption in
spirit and in truth.

The problem arises in
distinguishing the Nicolatian or Baalam system of clergy and laity
from that which was established by Christ. The result of the religious
doctrines that they preach is that the kingdom of God is not at hand. They do
not seem to realize that the kingdom comes when His will is done. It
does not come through observation but it is the fruit of faith and
consequence of charity.
Some religions have a top down
clergy that exercises authority but this is contrary to the
Kingdom of Heaven. “He taught that the authority of kings and
princes was originally derived from the people”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote24anc" HREF="#sdfootnote24sym">24</A>
How do Kings get their power of authority which originally belonged
to the people by God's granted grace and dominion? They get it
because the people reject God and cry out for rulers who may exercise
authority over them. They covet their neighbor's goods through the
agency of these governmental rulers and judges who they choose for
themselves.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote25anc" HREF="#sdfootnote25sym">25</A>
Through that covetous nature they are made into human resources and
brought into bondage again.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote26anc" HREF="#sdfootnote26sym">26</A>
These worldly institution which men create with their own hands
demand that the people serve them, they oppress their neighbor,
denounce the king, claim no government but Caesar and turn their
hearts from the ways of God.

The reason early Christians
gathered together was to take care of the business of that government
of God. This is also why they were persecuted out of jealousy and
envy for their liberty. There was religious freedom guaranteed by
Roman constitution so you could look to any government for your
needs. Christ was turning the world right side up and to those who
did not want to change they were seen as turning the world upside
down.

The governments of the gentiles
were top down, but the government of God is bottom up. It begins in
the bottom of every man's heart. It is a system of choice and liberty
where no one taxes you but your own conscience.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote29anc" HREF="#sdfootnote29sym">29</A>

He
also pointed out that "it gradually formed an independent and
increasing state in the heart of the Roman Empire." The early
Christian ekklesia was a republic that was recognized by Rome through
the proclamation nailed to the cross by order of the Proconsul of
Rome, Pontius Pilate. When Jesus rose from the dead to stand again
upon the earth, so did his Kingdom. His kingdom now lives in the
hearts of those who follow His way and do the will of the Father and
the Son.

Is faith in Christ a hollow
thing or a thing that bears fruit? Homage or worship can be defined
as "a symbolical acknowledgment made by a feudal tenant to, and
in the presence of, his lord, on receiving investiture of fee, or
coming to it by succession, that he was his man, or vassal;
profession of fealty to a sovereign." Though many people sing
praises of worship, their lives are filled with acts of homage and
worship toward the kings of the gentiles who exercise authority one
over the other. Their lives are like the gentiles and not like the
kingdom of God. These same people also apply or pray at the table of
these gentile rulers who are called benefactors in hopes of
receiving their gifts, gratuities and benefits.

Worship is an act of faith and
expression of acceptance of superior rank of a king or Lord. It is

The entire Bible is a commentary
on man's political relationships with governments created by the
hands of men. These governments require the service of the people as
human resources, that take their sons and daughters, the first fruits
of their labor, the best of their fields, and rule over them because
the voice of the people rejected God.

From Cain's city to Nimrod's
kingdom, onto the Pharaohs and Caesars of the world men have rejected
God for governments of their own creation and for the benefits they
covet.

To really understand God's
government and the Kingdom of Heaven or a godly government you need
to obtain some knowledge and understanding of governments.

Israel was literally the kingdom
of God on earth. Before Saul and David who was its King? Was it not
the head of every family? How was it ruled? Was it not ruled first in
their hearts and mind by their God given conscience? Where did it go
wrong? Was it not the voice of the people?<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote35anc" HREF="#sdfootnote35sym">35</A>

The centralization of a top down
authority under kings made of flesh and blood was sharply condemned
and warned against by Samuel. The people refused to listen to the
Wisdom of God as they had done from the beginning. Therefore, until
Christ the king came they were set on the road to despotism and
tyranny. People still have trouble living with out rulers who
exercise authority one over the other. This is because they have not
really received the Gospel that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

What kind of Kingdom does God
want for His children?

If the princes of the tribes

king over the people? The word over in Numbers 7:2 is from
amad dme translated stood
171 times and stand 137 and is almost never translated over

given other Strong's numbers<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote36anc" HREF="#sdfootnote36sym">36</A>
which are translated upright or with me.
Amad means “to
stand, remain, endure, take one's stand.” The word does not
really mean over as we often think of a king or a general
ruling over his subjects. It is more in the way of enduring or
standing or endorsing an office of service, respect and duty. Now the
word numbered in the Biblical verse Numbers 7:2 is from paqad
dqp which means to attend to, muster,
number, reckon, visit, punish, appoint, look after, care for.

There were twelve tribes and the
people were gathered together in small groups of tens choosing their
civil and religious leaders from amongst the patriarchs and the
Levites. These leaders were titular because the real authority rested
with the people. God not give them an exercising authority nor the
power to compel the offerings of the people. The people did that
themselves under Saul.
This same pattern of free will
and liberty, chosen but titular public servants of small groups
networked together, was repeated in the early Church. As we see in
the upper room there were 120 families represented by name, and the
twelve apostles, one for each group of ten.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“And
in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said,

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Israel's early Kingdom granted
by God through Moses was a trusteeship under God the Father dependent
upon the good will of the people. It was divided into the civil power
which remained with the families. In fact each family had its own
priest, usually the eldest son. Each family was autonomous but they
gathered together in congregations of people choosing their ministers
from a pool of Levites. The priestly office of the nation bound by
liberty and charity was held by the first born of the kingdom, known
as the Levites.

The Levites took the position of
the first born of the nation when they were called out by Moses. The
Levites managed the altar and the daily ministration of the
government. They were the ministers and clerks. They served the
people and ministered to the kingdom like eldest sons in a family.
The Levites were only tithed to according to their service.
They truly were public servants.

When the people were afraid
everyone would desert while Moses was gone, they devised a common
plan found in many governments of that day and this. They deposited
their family wealth in a central vault controlled by trusted men of
government, in this case it was the the golden calf,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote37anc" HREF="#sdfootnote37sym">37</A>
Moses understood how it was a wicked thing to bind the people by
anything more than love for one another, a passion for mercy and
justice and the way of God the Father. The Levites were called out by
Moses to serve the kingdom because they had the faith to step out of
that system of social security.

The ministers of the kingdom
belonged to God as His bondservants to hold in trust His dominion on
earth for the service of the people who seek that kingdom. They had
no personal estate and depended upon the people whom they served. The
Church, from the Greek ekklesia meaning called out, was
appointed to that role by Jesus Christ. It was not to be done like what
the Pharisees had put in place.

of the family from the Patria Potestas<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote39anc" HREF="#sdfootnote39sym">39</A>
of the patriarchs to the Senate and then to the Patronus or Emperor
of their nation. This form of centralized government of power and
control is a departure from the system of faith, hope and charity
instituted by God. History, because of the sinful nature of men,
continues to repeat itself.

The priestly offices of public
servant also came under the direction of the high priests through an
adulterous corruption of that office. Following this same path of the
centralization of power is an accompanying neglect of responsibility
by the people to each other.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Much of this corruption of the
Pharisees at the time of Christ grew with the Hasmonean Dynasty which
led to a corrupted priesthood and civil war. To settle that dispute
some applied to Roman international military peace keeping forces
under Pompey. They willingly agreed to help resolve disputes as to
who should be the rightful King according to Hebraic law and
tradition.

Both the Hasmonean and the
Romans heavily influenced the traditional Separation of Church and
State, religion<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote40anc" HREF="#sdfootnote40sym">40</A>
and defense,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote41anc" HREF="#sdfootnote41sym">41</A>
along different lines than those laid down by Moses. The Church
gained some power to collect or receive taxes, own land in their own
name and exercise authority, under the Hasmonians while the State
powers, still resting with the king, began to legislate religious
doctrine and institutionalize what was previously systems of charity
under their growing control.

In 78 BC the Pharisees, a
political party, had an ordinance<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote42anc" HREF="#sdfootnote42sym">42</A>
passed requiring the temple tax be paid or the matter was handed over
to the appointed civil magistrates of Judea for enforcement by the
right hand of government. Funds flowed into the government's temple
whether it served the people or not. Now with the top down
appointment of the courts, new legislated statutes and the
fornication of the priests the government served the people less and
the people served the government more.
Much of Israel or the seed of
Abraham had little to nothing to do with the House of David from the
time of Rehoboam. At the time of Herod's occupation of the throne the
problems of the kingdom had become acute. Who should take the
positions of royal trustee of both the civil and religious aspects of
the kingdom of God on earth, High Priest and King. Jesus came to
settle the Issue

Luke 22:29 states, "And
I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;"


Here we see that the Apostles
had a Kingdom appointed to them for the purpose of ministering to
that Kingdom. In God's Kingdom the individual takes on His God given
right to the dominion of his own flesh and blood, body and soul and
also the responsibility that is correlative to that right. The
ministers of the kingdom are answerable to God through the authority
of Jesus the King. They are the bondservants of Jesus Christ serving
His Kingdom by serving the people. To coordinate these individual
freemen into one body politic under the kingship of Jesus the Christ
and God the Father without exercising dominion or authority over them
is the duty and office of His appointed Church. The Kingdom of
Heaven is a palpable reality when one recognizes its auspicious
nature. His Holy or Separate Church, which serves His kingdom, is a
proponent of the divine principles of freedom and an advocate of the
perfect law of liberty and responsibility.

As Jesus came preaching the
Kingdom of Heaven there were a few things He was going to have to do:
“ye shall return every man
unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.”
Leviticus 25:10

Most of the governments of today
exercise authority over men. They are not Christian. They are
governments like the gentiles which Jesus clearly forbid. They are
all in opposition to the teachings of Christ Jesus, the Anointed
King. [Matthew 20:25-27, Mark 10:42, Luke 22:25]

Under the perfect law of liberty
the elder father of each family group was the head of a household and
by the nature of that fact he was an elder. When the Apostles
appointed elders they were not granting the office of elder
they were appointing elders to the office of minister. Those
ministers were chosen by the people. What has become known today as
bishops were chosen by ten ministers. Bishops or overseers were to
stand and serve those original ministers and in turn
ten bishops chose an archbishop.

This system continued for most
of the followers of the Messiah even after Constantine order at Milan
to become Christian, where people picked one bishop for a whole city
and he in turn exercised authority issuing edicts and calling for the
persecution of so called non Christians. That Bishop began to
exercise authority issuing edicts and commands. He considered
a bishop as an "aristocratic figure" and formulated the
Church according to the "ways of Rome issuing decrees, edicts,
and commands" rather than serving as a subject minister and
servant of the people. He was intolerant of other religions and
actually argued in the Roman Senate that all other religions should
be stamped out.

They eventually appointed those
who ruled that new Roman church from the top down with the aid of
their crowned Kings, who were often crowned by the very Church who
was appointed to keep the people free. These so called Christians, of
course, were not a true Christians Church. They were the instituted
Church and manufactured christians<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote43anc" HREF="#sdfootnote43sym">43</A>
with more fear of Constantine than love of Jesus. The system that
grew out of this departure from the "Way of the Lord" was
contrary to the words of Jesus Christ. It was a breach of His trust.

An example of the nature of the
Church was still obvious in 600 AD when the Anglo Saxon had formed a
government with something called a Tithing man who oversaw ten
families, a Hundredsmen who oversaw ten Tithingmen, and an Eoldorman
who oversaw ten Hundredsmen. There were a thousand families known as
Shire under the oversership of an Eoldorman.

This system contributed to a
united society in part because no person was responsible for
communicating directly with more than 10 people and each man was free
to choose the Tithing man of his choice and each Tithing man in small
groups of ten chose their Hundredsman etc.. These small dedicated
often related cell groups made for an independent yet unified force
to ward off almost any hardship, attack or attempted usurpation.

The Kings were crowned by the
vicarious institution of those manufactured christians. The ruling
elite replaced the tithing men with constables who kept the
people as they kept their stables.

The people seeking the kingdom
of God have been influenced by Roman ideas and many of our traditions
have evolved from that influence.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“But
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that

them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”
Rev. 2:14, 15
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Balac was not a religion but a
government system that brought the people to a state of selfish
apathy and wantonness by an exercising authority and covetous vanity.
The exercising authority of rulers, their entitlements, traditions
and doctrines usurps the responsibility of the individual and brings
them into sloth, apathy and avarice.

Religion today has been polluted
by men who desire power and authority over other people, whether in
civil democracies or the church pew. This power and authority was
never intended by the Lord.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western" STYLE="font-style: normal">“Because
my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and

18:15 
</BLOCKQUOTE>
We may return to the ancient
paths and join together in true worship of our King and Father.
Modern Christianity is the product of centuries of book burning,
prevarication and persecution. We must learn to worship the Father by
paying Him homage and service by caring for His sheep. We cannot
serve two masters nor can we pay homage to one King while we say we
worship another.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western" STYLE="font-style: normal">“And
he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2
</BLOCKQUOTE>
There should be no king or ruler
for Christians but Jesus the Christ. No Father on earth but our
Father in Heaven. It is that kingdom of liberty under God which is at
hand. It is the justice and mercy of His perfect law of liberty to
which we owe our homage, allegiance and worship.

'''Aerarium ''' (from Lat. aes, in its derived
sense of ``money'') the name (in full, aerarium stabulum,
treasure-house) given in ancient [[Rome]] to the public treasury,
and in a secondary sense to the public finances. The treasury
contained the moneys and accounts of the state, and also the
standards of the legions; the public laws engraved on brass, the
decrees of the senate and other papers and registers of importance.
These public treasures were deposited in the temple of Saturn, on
the eastern slope of the Capitoline hill... In addition to the
common treasury, supported by the general taxes and charged with the
ordinary expenditure, there was a special reserve fund, also in the
temple of [[Saturn]], the aerarium sanctum (or sanctius), probably
originally consisting of the spoils of war, afterwards maintained
chiefly by a 5% tax... The later emperors had a separate aerarium
privatum, containing the moneys allotted for their own use, distinct
from the fiscus, which they administered in the interests of the
empire. '' From a 1911 Encyclopedia

[[worship service]]

The word [[Worship|worship]] in the Old Testament is ''shachah'' החשׁ which is translated worship 99 times, but bow 31 times, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3. It is defined "to bow down" "before superior in homage".

Giving allegiance or pledging allegiance to, paying homage to a superior, a lord, a [[gods|god]] or The God, our [[Father|father]] or [[Patronus|patronus]].

People are so stuck in the religious rut of modern superstitions.
People think [[Religion]] ''Threskeia''.... worship is ritualistic worship. Clapping, dancing, singing and praising. Religion is what you do and not just what you ''think'' about God or gods. [[Pure Religion]] was how you voluntarily take care of your obligation to God and your fellow man, which is to love him or her in a way that contributes to their welfare.

Worshiping in [[Pure Religion]] is caring for the needy of society without the assistance of the [[world]] nor those who are often called the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' or the [[Benefactors]] of the [[world]]. But their welfare is by force, not charity like [[John the Baptist]], [[Jesus]] and the [[Apostles]] like [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]].

The [[Modern Christian]] may even think the word ''threskos'' has to do with fearing which some say derives from ''threomai'' meaning ''to tremble'', but more modern scholars link it with ''therap''- meaning to serve. Christ said he came to serve and if we are to come in His [[name]] we must do the same.

The word ''therapon'' meaning Servant [Noun] and akin to ''therapeuo'', "to serve, to heal, an attendant, servant," is a term of dignity and freedom, used of [[Moses]] in [[Hebrews 3]]:5. The word ''therapeia'' meaning ''Heal'', ''Healing'' and is also akin to the same word ''therapeuo'', primarily denotes the ideas of "care, attention."

The [[Religion]] of Christ is caring about one another in a way that strengthens the people in [[The Way]] of Christ. It is bowing and bending to His ways of righteous and [[charitable practices]] of [[love]] and [[forgive]]ness.

This makes sense according to the context of James and the fact that mindless rituals made no sense in early Israel nor the [[early Church]], nor the activities of Jesus nor would they bear [[fruit]]. Jesus said we should seek the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] and if we are not seeing a system of social [[welfare]] operating by [[charity]] alone we are not worshiping Jesus nor God the [[Father]].

Some knew that religious worship was real care for others yet people fail to do that which was called for and make a [[False religion|false religious]] rites out of what is not an element of His gospel...

: [[Galatians 4]]:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

In a Jewish worship service the ancient blessings of praise
and thanksgiving to God such as Sh'ma, Amidah (Standing
Prayer) or Tfilah (The Prayer) are often recited and Psalms
might be sung.

The modern Christian worship
service often includes singing both traditional Christian hymns
and choruses or more modern renditions of songs and praises,
scripture reading and a sermon.

Such communal activities give
participants a sense of fellowship and solemnity but is this what
worshiping is about? Does God want singing and praise or justice and
mercy?
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“Justice and judgment [are] the
habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.”
Psalms 89:14
</BLOCKQUOTE>
In the military the day starts
with a pledge of allegiance and solemn raising of the flag. It is
common to see several hundred men marching in cadence singing in
union. Are these also forms of worship? Could we also include as
worship the staid rising to sing the Star Spangled Banner at
political conventions or ball games or rising for a judge at his
entry into the courtroom?

<A NAME="W0230400"></A><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 1"></A>
The word worship in modern dictionaries is defined,
"The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a
sacred object." Before early Americans came from England it was
common to use the word worship, "as a form of
address for magistrates, mayors, and certain other dignitaries."<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote1anc" HREF="#sdfootnote1sym">1</A>
Nothing has contributed more to the
control of the mind of man than the ability to alter the meaning of
words. Words may be changed but the original meaning is for ever
locked in time and history.

A little over a hundred years
ago, in Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary the word worship is
found defined, "homage rendered to God which it is sinful
(idolatry) to render to any created being (Ex. 34:14; Isa. 2:8). Such
worship was refused by Peter (Acts 10:25,26)<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote2anc" HREF="#sdfootnote2sym">2</A>
and by an angel (Rev. 22:8,9)".<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote3anc" HREF="#sdfootnote3sym">3</A>

<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 2"></A>Easton
says worship is homage which is "Ceremonial acknowledgment by a
vassal of allegiance to his lord under feudal law." This seems
closer to the meaning of the authors of scripture than singing on
Sabbath or Sunday. What any word means in a Biblical sense is
dependent upon the meaning and intent of the author and does not
change with modern opinions, philosophies or doctrines.

The word worship in the New
Testament is consistently from the Greek word proskuneo<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote4anc" HREF="#sdfootnote4sym">4</A>
which is formed from two words, the preposition unto or to and the
word for dog. It literally meant “meaning to kiss, like a dog
licking his master’s hand.”
<H3 CLASS="western">Worship in the Old Testament</H3>
The Greek word proskuneo
is consistently translated worship in the New Testament but
since Jesus did not preach in Greek we may assume that proskuneo
is simply the Greek substitute for the Hebrew word translated
worship. But there is not just one Hebrew word translated into
worship and the words that are translated into worship are not
consistently translated the same..
One Hebrew word translated
worship first appears in Genesis 22:5, "And Abraham
said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the
lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."

We are to believe by the
traditional translation of the text that Abraham is going off to
worship God and make a sacrifice of his son as he believed
that was the will of God. Here the word worship was shachah
which means "to bow down" in the sense of obeisance
as in the recognition of rank. This is not the first place shachah,
[hxv
Shin, Chet Hei],
appears in the Testaments.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“And
he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and
when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed
himself toward the ground,” Genesis 18:2
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The Hebrew word we often see as
worship is also translated bow 31 times, bow down
18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3 times
and themselves twice, also stoop and crouch once
each. The same three letter word in Hebrew [7811,
hxv Shin,
Chet Hei] is also translated swim.
This concept of bowing toward
the ground as a form of worship is a way of recognizing rank
which is the essential quality of the homage as expressed with
the Aramaic word sagid, dgo ,
[Semech, Gimel, Dalet] is
translated into worship<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote5anc" HREF="#sdfootnote5sym">5</A>
in Daniel but is defined "to prostrate oneself, do homage."
The same three letter Hebrew
word [dgo Semech,
Gimel, Dalet] appears in Isaiah and are given a different
Strong's number [5456] translated “fall down” in
relationship to false gods. If you exchange the Dalet with the letter
Nun, you get the Hebrew word for governor and ruler. Exchange the
Dalet with a Reish and you get the Hebrew word for shut up,
enclose or imprison.
We also find the word worship
as in worshipers of Baal in 2 Kings to be from abad, dbe,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote6anc" HREF="#sdfootnote6sym">6</A>
meaning to labor but more in the sense of "to be
compelled to work" or " to be enticed to serve." Even
the word Baal means "lord" and again expresses a
superior rank with subordinate service as a form of compelled duty or
worship. Cain was a tiller of the ground<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote7anc" HREF="#sdfootnote7sym">7</A>.
The ground he compelled into his service was Adamah, translated as
land, earth, ground, but also husbandman and country. Was Cain the
ground or forcing other sons of Adam to labor for him, to bow, down,
to pay him homage?

Shachah, hxv,
is seen in the ten commandments associated with service and again
translated bow down. Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: …

Rank, homage, service are
political concepts and of course Biblically speaking Abraham was
leaving City or Civil States of Ur and Haran to be free of paying
homage to the gods of the city. He chose to pay homage to the
God of Creation, God the Father. He even established “altars”
of living stone so that the people may live according to the perfect
law of liberty.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote8anc" HREF="#sdfootnote8sym">8</A>
In the Old Testament the words
"gods" and "God" are translated from the single
word 'elohiym in the plural. 'Elohiym is defined
"rulers, judges" and "occasionally applied as
deference to magistrates"<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote9anc" HREF="#sdfootnote9sym">9</A>
while in the New Testament the word God is translated from the Greek
word theos which figuratively means "a magistrate."
Emperors and Presidents often hold the office of Apotheos, appointer
of gods,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote10anc" HREF="#sdfootnote10sym">10</A>
because they are the appointer of judges within their jurisdictional
states.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote11anc" HREF="#sdfootnote11sym">11</A>

The most common word translated
into worship in the New Testament is proskuneo. It does
not mean bow down but rather to kiss the hand. This
translation does not do justice to its meaning. Among the Orientals
it did include the idea of falling upon the knee and is simply a
token of reverence by kneeling or prostration to do homage (to
one) or make obeisance. Proskuneo was a word used of
homage shown to men and beings of superior rank. But obeisance<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote12anc" HREF="#sdfootnote12sym">12</A>
alone is not enough for rulers for there is no profit in bowing
alone.
The word latreuo from
latris (a hired menial, employee); is also translated worship
and worshiper in the New Testament and means to serve for
hire and also includes the idea of homage.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote13anc" HREF="#sdfootnote13sym">13</A>

What worship truly means in the
Bible has a common theme and significance. It has to do with homage
and rank of a superior and inferior citizens of a political state.
Jesus and John the Baptist preached a kingdom not a religion.

At the time of Christ there was
a complaint of the Helenization of the Jewish traditions. In Plato's
Laws On Musical Worship for Apollo he states,

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">"In order, then, that the soul of
the child… obey the law… I say, to produce this effect,
chants appear to have been invented, which really enchant, and are
designed to implant that harmony of which we speak."
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western"><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 3"></A>"And
similarly the true legislator will persuade, and, if he cannot
persuade, will compel the poet to express, as he ought, by fair and
noble words, in his rhythms, the figures, and in his melodies, the
music of temperate and brave and in every way good men."<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote14anc" HREF="#sdfootnote14sym">14</A>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
I suspect that the modern
transformation of the word worship from a political act of
homage and recognition of superior rank is a completion of that
ancient demagoguery of the Greeks. Certainly the modern preaching has
more in common with the Greek orators than the question and answers
coming during the New Testament sermons.

Israel was a kingdom not a
religion. Judea was the remnant of that kingdom steeped in apostasy
with usurpers occupying the office of the crown and the public
service in the temple. Jesus came preaching a kingdom at hand not a
religion. The worship in the kingdom of Heaven is not merely lip
service or verbal praise and melodious singing, but is a
manifestation of the homage owed the King and His Father.

Homage is a ceremony that gives
evidence of submission but with that submission the people are
required to give their substance to their master or masters, their
law makers, rulers and judges. Religion is an aspect of every
government. It is in essence the caring for the widows, orphans and
needy of society. In the kingdom there is also an aspect of religion
that requires us to accomplish this task with free will offering in
faith, hope and charity. Pure religion<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote15anc" HREF="#sdfootnote15sym">15</A>
is well defined in the bible.

rank in that kingdom is always one of service not exercising
authority.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote21anc" HREF="#sdfootnote21sym">21</A>
They do not receive homage or obeisance which is reserved only for
the Son, the king of the Kingdom and His Father.

<H3 CLASS="western">Thou hatest the deeds

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“But
this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which
I also hate.” Revelation 2:6
</BLOCKQUOTE>
What was the doctrine of the
"Nicolaitans"? There was a connection between them and
Balaam. Balaam is from the Hebrew word 'Baal' meaning lord
or master and 'am' references the people. It is
an expression of superior rank over the people contrary to the
directive of Christ, the King.

Nike is the Greek word
for conqueror with nikos meaning victor. Laos
is a word for people. Nicolaitan and Baalam are two different
forms of the same idea. Both include the idea of rank, lordship and
submission to an exercising authority who can judge the people. They
are systems that make gods, or judging rulers, of men, who other men
must pay homage too. Homage being fealty or allegiance.

Cain did the same in the first
city state and the kings of Israel chosen by the people, when the
people rejected God, also forced the homage and sacrifice<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote22anc" HREF="#sdfootnote22sym">22</A>
of the people, whipping them with whips and scorpions.
<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 6"></A>There
is a controversy concerning who is the clergy and laity or people in
the kingdom of Heaven. It is clear by the Biblical text that Jesus
appointed certain individuals to positions of service. Those
individuals also made appointments of ministering trustees chosen by
the people.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote23anc" HREF="#sdfootnote23sym">23</A>
The word clergy is simply the clerks of the kingdom, the
bondservants of the King and public servants of the people. While the
laity are the people who enjoy the perfect law of liberty with its
burden of individual responsibility and its reward of redemption in
spirit and in truth.

The problem arises in
distinguishing the Nicolatian or Baalam system of clergy and laity
from that which was established by Christ. The result of the religious
doctrines that they preach is that the kingdom of God is not at hand. They do
not seem to realize that the kingdom comes when His will is done. It
does not come through observation but it is the fruit of faith and
consequence of charity.
Some religions have a top down
clergy that exercises authority but this is contrary to the
Kingdom of Heaven. “He taught that the authority of kings and
princes was originally derived from the people”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote24anc" HREF="#sdfootnote24sym">24</A>
How do Kings get their power of authority which originally belonged
to the people by God's granted grace and dominion? They get it
because the people reject God and cry out for rulers who may exercise
authority over them. They covet their neighbor's goods through the
agency of these governmental rulers and judges who they choose for
themselves.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote25anc" HREF="#sdfootnote25sym">25</A>
Through that covetous nature they are made into human resources and
brought into bondage again.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote26anc" HREF="#sdfootnote26sym">26</A>
These worldly institution which men create with their own hands
demand that the people serve them, they oppress their neighbor,
denounce the king, claim no government but Caesar and turn their
hearts from the ways of God.

The reason early Christians
gathered together was to take care of the business of that government
of God. This is also why they were persecuted out of jealousy and
envy for their liberty. There was religious freedom guaranteed by
Roman constitution so you could look to any government for your
needs. Christ was turning the world right side up and to those who
did not want to change they were seen as turning the world upside
down.

The governments of the gentiles
were top down, but the government of God is bottom up. It begins in
the bottom of every man's heart. It is a system of choice and liberty
where no one taxes you but your own conscience.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote29anc" HREF="#sdfootnote29sym">29</A>

In
Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, he praised "the
union and discipline of the Christian republic." This personal
discipline included the rights and responsibilities of freedom. It
was a kingdom that depended on faith hope and charity.

He
also pointed out that "it gradually formed an independent and
increasing state in the heart of the Roman Empire." The early
Christian ekklesia was a republic that was recognized by Rome through
the proclamation nailed to the cross by order of the Proconsul of
Rome, Pontius Pilate. When Jesus rose from the dead to stand again
upon the earth, so did his Kingdom. His kingdom now lives in the
hearts of those who follow His way and do the will of the Father and
the Son.

on earth Father that was a spiritual and political statement.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote32anc" HREF="#sdfootnote32sym">32</A>

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Is faith in Christ a hollow
thing or a thing that bears fruit? Homage or worship can be defined
as "a symbolical acknowledgment made by a feudal tenant to, and
in the presence of, his lord, on receiving investiture of fee, or
coming to it by succession, that he was his man, or vassal;
profession of fealty to a sovereign." Though many people sing
praises of worship, their lives are filled with acts of homage and
worship toward the kings of the gentiles who exercise authority one
over the other. Their lives are like the gentiles and not like the
kingdom of God. These same people also apply or pray at the table of
these gentile rulers who are called benefactors in hopes of
receiving their gifts, gratuities and benefits.

Worship is an act of faith and
expression of acceptance of superior rank of a king or Lord. It is
not originally a religious term. When we truly began to worship the
Lord and King then we may find cause to celebrate and sing His
praises but we are told that his family does the will of the Father.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote34anc" HREF="#sdfootnote34sym">34</A>

When we truly worship God it is
cause to celebrate, but we should not confuse the celebration with
the act of worship itself.

The entire Bible is a commentary
on man's political relationships with governments created by the
hands of men. These governments require the service of the people as
human resources, that take their sons and daughters, the first fruits
of their labor, the best of their fields, and rule over them because
the voice of the people rejected God.

From Cain's city to Nimrod's
kingdom, onto the Pharaohs and Caesars of the world men have rejected
God for governments of their own creation and for the benefits they
covet.

To really understand God's
government and the Kingdom of Heaven or a godly government you need
to obtain some knowledge and understanding of governments.

Israel was literally the kingdom
of God on earth. Before Saul and David who was its King? Was it not
the head of every family? How was it ruled? Was it not ruled first in
their hearts and mind by their God given conscience? Where did it go
wrong? Was it not the voice of the people?<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote35anc" HREF="#sdfootnote35sym">35</A>

1 Samuel 8:8-22
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The centralization of a top down
authority under kings made of flesh and blood was sharply condemned
and warned against by Samuel. The people refused to listen to the
Wisdom of God as they had done from the beginning. Therefore, until
Christ the king came they were set on the road to despotism and
tyranny. People still have trouble living with out rulers who
exercise authority one over the other. This is because they have not
really received the Gospel that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

What kind of Kingdom does God
want for His children?

</BLOCKQUOTE>
If the princes of the tribes
were over the people then what was the difference in appointing a
king over the people? The word over in Numbers 7:2 is from
amad dme translated stood
171 times and stand 137 and is almost never translated over
in more than 500 appearances. The same three Hebrew letters are also
given other Strong's numbers<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote36anc" HREF="#sdfootnote36sym">36</A>
which are translated upright or with me.
Amad means “to
stand, remain, endure, take one's stand.” The word does not
really mean over as we often think of a king or a general
ruling over his subjects. It is more in the way of enduring or
standing or endorsing an office of service, respect and duty. Now the
word numbered in the Biblical verse Numbers 7:2 is from paqad
dqp which means to attend to, muster,
number, reckon, visit, punish, appoint, look after, care for.

There were twelve tribes and the
people were gathered together in small groups of tens choosing their
civil and religious leaders from amongst the patriarchs and the
Levites. These leaders were titular because the real authority rested
with the people. God not give them an exercising authority nor the
power to compel the offerings of the people. The people did that
themselves under Saul.
This same pattern of free will
and liberty, chosen but titular public servants of small groups
networked together, was repeated in the early Church. As we see in
the upper room there were 120 families represented by name, and the
twelve apostles, one for each group of ten.

in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said,

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Israel's early Kingdom granted
by God through Moses was a trusteeship under God the Father dependent
upon the good will of the people. It was divided into the civil power
which remained with the families. In fact each family had its own
priest, usually the eldest son. Each family was autonomous but they
gathered together in congregations of people choosing their ministers
from a pool of Levites. The priestly office of the nation bound by
liberty and charity was held by the first born of the kingdom, known
as the Levites.

The Levites took the position of
the first born of the nation when they were called out by Moses. The
Levites managed the altar and the daily ministration of the
government. They were the ministers and clerks. They served the
people and ministered to the kingdom like eldest sons in a family.
The Levites were only tithed to according to their service.
They truly were public servants.

When the people were afraid
everyone would desert while Moses was gone, they devised a common
plan found in many governments of that day and this. They deposited
their family wealth in a central vault controlled by trusted men of

Moses understood how it was a wicked thing to bind the people by
anything more than love for one another, a passion for mercy and
justice and the way of God the Father. The Levites were called out by
Moses to serve the kingdom because they had the faith to step out of
that system of social security.

The ministers of the kingdom
belonged to God as His bondservant to hold in trust His dominion on
earth for the service of the people who seek that kingdom. They had
no personal estate and depended upon the people whom they served. The
Church, from the Greek ekklesia meaning called out, was
appointed to that role by Jesus Christ. It was not to be like what
the Pharisees had be
<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 9"></A><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 10"></A>
Eventually Israel's civil powers held by the individual Patriarchs
were vested into the trusteeship of the Kings rather than the
individual Fathers of each family. The Romans underwent a similar
process of shifting the manus<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote38anc" HREF="#sdfootnote38sym">38</A>
of the family from the Patria Potestas<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote39anc" HREF="#sdfootnote39sym">39</A>
of the patriarchs to the Senate and then to the Patronus or Emperor
of their nation. This form of centralized government of power and
control is a departure from the system of faith, hope and charity
instituted by God. History, because of the sinful nature of men,
continues to repeat itself.

The priestly offices of public
servant also came under the direction of the high priests through an
adulterous corruption of that office. Following this same path of the
centralization of power is an accompanying neglect of responsibility
by the people to each other.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Much of this corruption of the
Pharisees at the time of Christ grew with the Hasmonean Dynasty which
led to a corrupted priesthood and civil war. To settle that dispute
some applied to Roman international military peace keeping forces
under Pompey. They willingly agreed to help resolve disputes as to
who should be the rightful King according to Hebraic law and
tradition.

Both the Hasmonean and the
Romans heavily influenced the traditional Separation of Church and
State, religion<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote40anc" HREF="#sdfootnote40sym">40</A>
and defense,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote41anc" HREF="#sdfootnote41sym">41</A>
along different lines than those laid down by Moses. The Church
gained some power to collect or receive taxes, own land in their own
name and exercise authority, under the Hasmonians while the State
powers, still resting with the king, began to legislate religious
doctrine and institutionalize what was previously systems of charity
under their growing control.

In 78 BC the Pharisees, a
political party, had an ordinance<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote42anc" HREF="#sdfootnote42sym">42</A>
passed requiring the temple tax be paid or the matter was handed over
to the appointed civil magistrates of Judea for enforcement by the
right hand of government. Funds flowed into the government's temple
whether it served the people or not. Now with the top down
appointment of the courts, new legislated statutes and the
fornication of the priests the government served the people less and
the people served the government more.
Much of Israel or the seed of
Abraham had little to nothing to do with the House of David from the
time of Rehoboam. At the time of Herod's occupation of the throne the
problems of the kingdom had become acute. Who should take the
positions of royal trustee of both the civil and religious aspects of
the kingdom of God on earth, High Priest and King. Jesus came to
settle the Issue

Luke 22:29 states, "And
I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;"


Here we see that the Apostles
had a Kingdom appointed to them for the purpose of ministering to
that Kingdom. In God's Kingdom the individual takes on His God given
right to the dominion of his own flesh and blood, body and soul and
also the responsibility that is correlative to that right. The
ministers of the kingdom are answerable to God through the authority
of Jesus the King. They are the bondservants of Jesus Christ serving
His Kingdom by serving the people. To coordinate these individual
freemen into one body politic under the kingship of Jesus the Christ
and God the Father without exercising dominion or authority over them
is the duty and office of His appointed Church. The Kingdom of
Heaven is a palpable reality when one recognizes its auspicious
nature. His Holy or Separate Church, which serves His kingdom, is a
proponent of the divine principles of freedom and an advocate of the
perfect law of liberty and responsibility.

As Jesus came preaching the
Kingdom of Heaven there were a few things He was going to have to do:
“ye shall return every man
unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.”
Leviticus 25:10

Most of the governments of today
exercise authority over men. They are not Christian. They are
governments like the gentiles which Jesus clearly forbid. They are
all in opposition to the teachings of Christ Jesus, the Anointed
King. [Matthew 20:25-27, Mark 10:42, Luke 22:25]

Under the perfect law of liberty
the elder father of each family group was the head of a household and
by the nature of that fact he was an elder. When the Apostles
appointed elders they were not granting the office of elder
they were appointing elders to the office of minister. Those
ministers were chosen by the people. What has become known today as
bishops were chosen by ten ministers. Bishops or overseers were to
stand and serve those original ministers and in turn
ten bishops chose an archbishop.

This system continued for most
of the followers of the Messiah even after Constantine order at Milan
to become Christian, where people picked one bishop for a whole city
and he in turn exercised authority issuing edicts and calling for the
persecution of so called non Christians. That Bishop began to
exercise authority issuing edicts and commands. He considered
a bishop as an "aristocratic figure" and formulated the
Church according to the "ways of Rome issuing decrees, edicts,
and commands" rather than serving as a subject minister and
servant of the people. He was intolerant of other religions and
actually argued in the Roman Senate that all other religions should
be stamped out.

They eventually appointed those
who ruled that new Roman church from the top down with the aid of
their crowned Kings, who were often crowned by the very Church who
was appointed to keep the people free. These so called Christians, of
course, were not a true Christians Church. They were the instituted
Church and manufactured christians<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote43anc" HREF="#sdfootnote43sym">43</A>
with more fear of Constantine than love of Jesus. The system that
grew out of this departure from the "Way of the Lord" was
contrary to the words of Jesus Christ. It was a breach of His trust.

An example of the nature of the
Church was still obvious in 600 AD when the Anglo Saxon had formed a
government with something called a Tithing man who oversaw ten
families, a Hundredsmen who oversaw ten Tithingmen, and an Eoldorman
who oversaw ten Hundredsmen. There were a thousand families known as
Shire under the oversership of an Eoldorman.

This system contributed to a
united society in part because no person was responsible for
communicating directly with more than 10 people and each man was free
to choose the Tithing man of his choice and each Tithing man in small
groups of ten chose their Hundredsman etc.. These small dedicated
often related cell groups made for an independent yet unified force
to ward off almost any hardship, attack or attempted usurpation.

The Kings were crowned by the
vicarious institution of those manufactured christians. The ruling
elite replaced the tithing men with constables who kept the
people as they kept their stables.

have evolved from that influence.

them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”
Rev. 2:14, 15
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Balac was not a religion but a
government system that brought the people to a state of selfish
apathy and wantonness by an exercising authority and covetous vanity.
The exercising authority of rulers, their entitlements, traditions
and doctrines usurps the responsibility of the individual and brings
them into sloth, apathy and avarice.

Religion today has been polluted
by men who desire power and authority over other people, whether in
civil democracies or the church pew. This power and authority was
never intended by the Lord.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
We may return to the ancient
paths and join together in true worship of our King and Father.
Modern Christianity is the product of centuries of book burning,
prevarication and persecution. We must learn to worship the Father by
paying Him homage and service by caring for His sheep. We cannot
serve two masters nor can we pay homage to one King while we say we
worship another.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
There should be no king or ruler
for Christians but Jesus the Christ. No Father on earth but our
Father in Heaven. It is that kingdom of liberty under God which is at
hand. It is the justice and mercy of His perfect law of liberty to
which we owe our homage, allegiance and worship.

'''Aerarium ''' (from Lat. aes, in its derived
sense of ``money'') the name (in full, aerarium stabulum,
treasure-house) given in ancient [[Rome]] to the public treasury,
and in a secondary sense to the public finances. The treasury
contained the moneys and accounts of the state, and also the
standards of the legions; the public laws engraved on brass, the
decrees of the senate and other papers and registers of importance.
These public treasures were deposited in the temple of Saturn, on
the eastern slope of the Capitoline hill... In addition to the
common treasury, supported by the general taxes and charged with the
ordinary expenditure, there was a special reserve fund, also in the
temple of [[Saturn]], the aerarium sanctum (or sanctius), probably
originally consisting of the spoils of war, afterwards maintained
chiefly by a 5% tax... The later emperors had a separate aerarium
privatum, containing the moneys allotted for their own use, distinct
from the fiscus, which they administered in the interests of the
empire. '' From a 1911 Encyclopedia

[[worship service]]

----

The word [[Worship|worship]] in the Old Testament is ''shachah'' החשׁ which is translated worship 99 times, but bow 31 times, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3. It is defined "to bow down" "before superior in homage".

Giving allegiance or pledging allegiance to, paying homage to a superior, a lord, a [[gods|god]] or The God, our [[Father|father]] or [[Patronus|patronus]].

People are so stuck in the religious rut of modern superstitions.
People think [[Religion]] ''Threskeia''.... worship is ritualistic worship. Clapping, dancing, singing and praising. Religion is what you do and not just what you ''think'' about God or gods. [[Pure Religion]] was how you voluntarily take care of your obligation to God and your fellow man, which is to love him or her in a way that contributes to their welfare.

Worshiping in [[Pure Religion]] is caring for the needy of society without the assistance of the [[world]] nor those who are often called the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' or the [[Benefactors]] of the [[world]]. But their welfare is by force, not charity like [[John the Baptist]], [[Jesus]] and the [[Apostles]] like [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]].

The [[Modern Christian]] may even think the word ''threskos'' has to do with fearing which some say derives from ''threomai'' meaning ''to tremble'', but more modern scholars link it with ''therap''- meaning to serve. Christ said he came to serve and if we are to come in His [[name]] we must do the same.

The word ''therapon'' meaning Servant [Noun] and akin to ''therapeuo'', "to serve, to heal, an attendant, servant," is a term of dignity and freedom, used of [[Moses]] in [[Hebrews 3]]:5. The word ''therapeia'' meaning ''Heal'', ''Healing'' and is also akin to the same word ''therapeuo'', primarily denotes the ideas of "care, attention."

The [[Religion]] of Christ is caring about one another in a way that strengthens the people in [[The Way]] of Christ. It is bowing and bending to His ways of righteous and [[charitable practices]] of [[love]] and [[forgive]]ness.

This makes sense according to the context of James and the fact that mindless rituals made no sense in early Israel nor the [[early Church]], nor the activities of Jesus nor would they bear [[fruit]]. Jesus said we should seek the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] and if we are not seeing a system of social [[welfare]] operating by [[charity]] alone we are not worshiping Jesus nor God the [[Father]].

Some knew that religious worship was real care for others yet people fail to do that which was called for and make a [[False religion|false religious]] rites out of what is not an element of His gospel...

In a Jewish worship service the ancient blessings of praise
and thanksgiving to God such as Sh'ma, Amidah (Standing
Prayer) or Tfilah (The Prayer) are often recited and Psalms
might be sung.

The modern Christian worship
service often includes singing both traditional Christian hymns
and choruses or more modern renditions of songs and praises,
scripture reading and a sermon.

Such communal activities give
participants a sense of fellowship and solemnity but is this what
worshiping is about? Does God want singing and praise or justice and
mercy?
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“Justice and judgment [are] the
habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.”
Psalms 89:14
</BLOCKQUOTE>
In the military the day starts
with a pledge of allegiance and solemn raising of the flag. It is
common to see several hundred men marching in cadence singing in
union. Are these also forms of worship? Could we also include as
worship the staid rising to sing the Star Spangled Banner at
political conventions or ball games or rising for a judge at his
entry into the courtroom?

<A NAME="W0230400"></A><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 1"></A>
The word worship in modern dictionaries is defined,
"The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a
sacred object." Before early Americans came from England it was
common to use the word worship, "as a form of
address for magistrates, mayors, and certain other dignitaries."<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote1anc" HREF="#sdfootnote1sym">1</A>
Nothing has contributed more to the
control of the mind of man than the ability to alter the meaning of
words. Words may be changed but the original meaning is for ever
locked in time and history.

A little over a hundred years
ago, in Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary the word worship is
found defined, "homage rendered to God which it is sinful
(idolatry) to render to any created being (Ex. 34:14; Isa. 2:8). Such
worship was refused by Peter (Acts 10:25,26)<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote2anc" HREF="#sdfootnote2sym">2</A>
and by an angel (Rev. 22:8,9)".<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote3anc" HREF="#sdfootnote3sym">3</A>

<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 2"></A>Easton
says worship is homage which is "Ceremonial acknowledgment by a
vassal of allegiance to his lord under feudal law." This seems
closer to the meaning of the authors of scripture than singing on
Sabbath or Sunday. What any word means in a Biblical sense is
dependent upon the meaning and intent of the author and does not
change with modern opinions, philosophies or doctrines.

The word worship in the New
Testament is consistently from the Greek word proskuneo<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote4anc" HREF="#sdfootnote4sym">4</A>
which is formed from two words, the preposition unto or to and the
word for dog. It literally meant “meaning to kiss, like a dog
licking his master’s hand.”
<H3 CLASS="western">Worship in the Old Testament</H3>
The Greek word proskuneo
is consistently translated worship in the New Testament but
since Jesus did not preach in Greek we may assume that proskuneo
is simply the Greek substitute for the Hebrew word translated
worship. But there is not just one Hebrew word translated into
worship and the words that are translated into worship are not
consistently translated the same..
One Hebrew word translated
worship first appears in Genesis 22:5, "And Abraham
said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the
lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."

We are to believe by the
traditional translation of the text that Abraham is going off to
worship God and make a sacrifice of his son as he believed
that was the will of God. Here the word worship was shachah
which means "to bow down" in the sense of obeisance
as in the recognition of rank. This is not the first place shachah,
[hxv
Shin, Chet Hei],
appears in the Testaments.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“And
he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and
when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed
himself toward the ground,” Genesis 18:2
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The Hebrew word we often see as
worship is also translated bow 31 times, bow down
18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3 times
and themselves twice, also stoop and crouch once
each. The same three letter word in Hebrew [7811,
hxv Shin,
Chet Hei] is also translated swim.
This concept of bowing toward
the ground as a form of worship is a way of recognizing rank
which is the essential quality of the homage as expressed with
the Aramaic word sagid, dgo ,
[Semech, Gimel, Dalet] is
translated into worship<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote5anc" HREF="#sdfootnote5sym">5</A>
in Daniel but is defined "to prostrate oneself, do homage."
The same three letter Hebrew
word [dgo Semech,
Gimel, Dalet] appears in Isaiah and are given a different
Strong's number [5456] translated “fall down” in
relationship to false gods. If you exchange the Dalet with the letter
Nun, you get the Hebrew word for governor and ruler. Exchange the
Dalet with a Reish and you get the Hebrew word for shut up,
enclose or imprison.
We also find the word worship
as in worshipers of Baal in 2 Kings to be from abad, dbe,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote6anc" HREF="#sdfootnote6sym">6</A>
meaning to labor but more in the sense of "to be
compelled to work" or " to be enticed to serve." Even
the word Baal means "lord" and again expresses a
superior rank with subordinate service as a form of compelled duty or
worship. Cain was a tiller of the ground<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote7anc" HREF="#sdfootnote7sym">7</A>.
The ground he compelled into his service was Adamah, translated as
land, earth, ground, but also husbandman and country. Was Cain the
ground or forcing other sons of Adam to labor for him, to bow, down,
to pay him homage?

Shachah, hxv,
is seen in the ten commandments associated with service and again
translated bow down. Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: …

Rank, homage, service are
political concepts and of course Biblically speaking Abraham was
leaving City or Civil States of Ur and Haran to be free of paying
homage to the gods of the city. He chose to pay homage to the
God of Creation, God the Father. He even established “altars”
of living stone so that the people may live according to the perfect
law of liberty.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote8anc" HREF="#sdfootnote8sym">8</A>
In the Old Testament the words
"gods" and "God" are translated from the single
word 'elohiym in the plural. 'Elohiym is defined
"rulers, judges" and "occasionally applied as
deference to magistrates"<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote9anc" HREF="#sdfootnote9sym">9</A>
while in the New Testament the word God is translated from the Greek
word theos which figuratively means "a magistrate."
Emperors and Presidents often hold the office of Apotheos, appointer
of gods,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote10anc" HREF="#sdfootnote10sym">10</A>
because they are the appointer of judges within their jurisdictional
states.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote11anc" HREF="#sdfootnote11sym">11</A>

The most common word translated
into worship in the New Testament is proskuneo. It does
not mean bow down but rather to kiss the hand. This
translation does not do justice to its meaning. Among the Orientals
it did include the idea of falling upon the knee and is simply a
token of reverence by kneeling or prostration to do homage (to
one) or make obeisance. Proskuneo was a word used of
homage shown to men and beings of superior rank. But obeisance<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote12anc" HREF="#sdfootnote12sym">12</A>
alone is not enough for rulers for there is no profit in bowing
alone.
The word latreuo from
latris (a hired menial, employee); is also translated worship
and worshiper in the New Testament and means to serve for
hire and also includes the idea of homage.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote13anc" HREF="#sdfootnote13sym">13</A>

What worship truly means in the
Bible has a common theme and significance. It has to do with homage
and rank of a superior and inferior citizens of a political state.
Jesus and John the Baptist preached a kingdom not a religion.

At the time of Christ there was
a complaint of the Helenization of the Jewish traditions. In Plato's
Laws On Musical Worship for Apollo he states,

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">"In order, then, that the soul of
the child… obey the law… I say, to produce this effect,
chants appear to have been invented, which really enchant, and are
designed to implant that harmony of which we speak."
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western"><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 3"></A>"And
similarly the true legislator will persuade, and, if he cannot
persuade, will compel the poet to express, as he ought, by fair and
noble words, in his rhythms, the figures, and in his melodies, the
music of temperate and brave and in every way good men."<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote14anc" HREF="#sdfootnote14sym">14</A>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
I suspect that the modern
transformation of the word worship from a political act of
homage and recognition of superior rank is a completion of that
ancient demagoguery of the Greeks. Certainly the modern preaching has
more in common with the Greek orators than the question and answers
coming during the New Testament sermons.

Israel was a kingdom not a
religion. Judea was the remnant of that kingdom steeped in apostasy
with usurpers occupying the office of the crown and the public
service in the temple. Jesus came preaching a kingdom at hand not a
religion. The worship in the kingdom of Heaven is not merely lip
service or verbal praise and melodious singing, but is a
manifestation of the homage owed the King and His Father.

Homage is a ceremony that gives
evidence of submission but with that submission the people are
required to give their substance to their master or masters, their
law makers, rulers and judges. Religion is an aspect of every
government. It is in essence the caring for the widows, orphans and
needy of society. In the kingdom there is also an aspect of religion
that requires us to accomplish this task with free will offering in
faith, hope and charity. Pure religion<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote15anc" HREF="#sdfootnote15sym">15</A>
is well defined in the bible.

Being unspotted from the world is being untouched in spirit and in

As King, He appointed a kingdom
to certain chosen men<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote20anc" HREF="#sdfootnote20sym">20</A>
so that they would serve that kingdom at hand and maintain it. Their
rank in that kingdom is always one of service not exercising
authority.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote21anc" HREF="#sdfootnote21sym">21</A>
They do not receive homage or obeisance which is reserved only for
the Son, the king of the Kingdom and His Father.

From the beginning the true

<H3 CLASS="western">Thou hatest the deeds 
</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“But
this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which
I also hate.” Revelation 2:6
</BLOCKQUOTE>
What was the doctrine of the
"Nicolaitans"? There was a connection between them and
Balaam. Balaam is from the Hebrew word 'Baal' meaning lord
or master and 'am' references the people. It is
an expression of superior rank over the people contrary to the
directive of Christ, the King.

Nike is the Greek word
for conqueror with nikos meaning victor. Laos
is a word for people. Nicolaitan and Baalam are two different
forms of the same idea. Both include the idea of rank, lordship and
submission to an exercising authority who can judge the people. They
are systems that make gods, or judging rulers, of men, who other men
must pay homage too. Homage being fealty or allegiance.

Cain did the same in the first
city state and the kings of Israel chosen by the people, when the
people rejected God, also forced the homage and sacrifice<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote22anc" HREF="#sdfootnote22sym">22</A>
of the people, whipping them with whips and scorpions.
<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 6"></A>There
is a controversy concerning who is the clergy and laity or people in
the kingdom of Heaven. It is clear by the Biblical text that Jesus
appointed certain individuals to positions of service. Those
individuals also made appointments of ministering trustees chosen by
the people.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote23anc" HREF="#sdfootnote23sym">23</A>
The word clergy is simply the clerks of the kingdom, the
bondservants of the King and public servants of the people. While the
laity are the people who enjoy the perfect law of liberty with its
burden of individual responsibility and its reward of redemption in
spirit and in truth.

The problem arises in
distinguishing the Nicolatian or Baalam system of clergy and laity
from that which was established by Christ is the result of religious
doctrines that preach that the kingdom of God is not at hand. They do
not seem to realize that the kingdom comes when His will is done. It
does not come through observation but it is the fruit of faith and
consequence of charity.
Some religions have a top down
clergy that exercises authority but this is contrary to the
Kingdom of Heaven. “He taught that the authority of kings and
princes was originally derived from the people”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote24anc" HREF="#sdfootnote24sym">24</A>
How do Kings get their power of authority which originally belonged
to the people by God's granted grace and dominion? They get it
because the people reject God and cry out for rulers who may exercise
authority over them. They covet their neighbor's goods through the
agency of these governmental rulers and judges who they choose for
themselves.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote25anc" HREF="#sdfootnote25sym">25</A>
Through that covetous nature they are made into human resources and
brought into bondage again.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote26anc" HREF="#sdfootnote26sym">26</A>
These worldly institution which men create with their own hands
demand that the people serve them, they oppress their neighbor,
denounce the king, claim no government but Caesar and turn their
hearts from the ways of God.
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western"><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 8"></A>"And with
regard to our not swearing at all, and always speaking the truth, He
enjoined as follows: 'Swear not at all; but let your yea be yea, and
your nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of Evil.'
[Matt. 5 34-37]. And that we ought to worship God alone, He thus
persuaded us: 'The greatest commandment is, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve, with all thy heart, and

Here we see Justin the martyr
equating swearing oaths to anyone as a violation of the commandment

The reason early Christians
gathered together was to take care of the business of that government
of God. This is also why they were persecuted out of jealousy and
envy for their liberty. There was religious freedom guaranteed by
Roman constitution so you could look to any government for your
needs. Christ was turning the world right side up and to those who
did not want to change they were seen as turning the world upside
down.

The governments of the gentiles
were top down, but the government of God is bottom up. It begins in
the bottom of every man's heart. It is a system of choice and liberty
where no one taxes you but your own conscience.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote29anc" HREF="#sdfootnote29sym">29</A>

In
Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, he praised "the
union and discipline of the Christian republic." This personal
discipline included the rights and responsibilities of freedom. It
was a kingdom that depended on faith hope and charity.

He
also pointed out that "it gradually formed an independent and
increasing state in the heart of the Roman Empire." The early
Christian ekklesia was a republic that was recognized by Rome through
the proclamation nailed to the cross by order of the Proconsul of
Rome, Pontius Pilate. When Jesus rose from the dead to stand again
upon the earth, so did his Kingdom. His kingdom now lives in the
hearts of those who follow His way and do the will of the Father and
the Son.

When Jesus said to call no man
on earth Father that was a spiritual and political statement.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote32anc" HREF="#sdfootnote32sym">32</A>
To live in Christ kingdom and return to
the house of the Father in Heaven is a wonderful thing. If we are
really returning to His house and kingdom in spirit and truth then we

Many people think of worship as
singing or praising Jesus or the Father, but is this true worship or
only lip service. He says:
<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“If ye love me, keep my

and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to
you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see
me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know
that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my
commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how
is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the
world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:15, 23
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Is faith in Christ a hollow
thing or a thing that bears fruit? Homage or worship can be defined
as "a symbolical acknowledgment made by a feudal tenant to, and
in the presence of, his lord, on receiving investiture of fee, or
coming to it by succession, that he was his man, or vassal;
profession of fealty to a sovereign." Though many people sing
praises of worship, their lives are filled with acts of homage and
worship toward the kings of the gentiles who exercise authority one
over the other. Their lives are like the gentiles and not like the
kingdom of God. These same people also apply or pray at the table of
these gentile rulers who are called benefactors in hopes of
receiving their gifts, gratuities and benefits.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“When
thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Worship is an act of faith and
expression of acceptance of superior rank of a king or Lord. It is
not originally a religious term. When we truly began to worship the
Lord and King then we may find cause to celebrate and sing His
praises but we are told that his family does the will of the Father.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote34anc" HREF="#sdfootnote34sym">34</A>

When we truly worship God it is
cause to celebrate, but we should not confuse the celebration with
the act of worship itself.

The entire Bible is a commentary
on man's political relationships with governments created by the
hands of men. These governments require the service of the people as
human resources, that take their sons and daughters, the first fruits
of their labor, the best of their fields, and rule over them because
the voice of the people rejected God.

From Cain's city to Nimrod's
kingdom, onto the Pharaohs and Caesars of the world men have rejected
God for governments of their own creation and for the benefits they
covet.

To really understand God's
government and the Kingdom of Heaven or a godly government you need
to obtain some knowledge and understanding of governments.

Israel was literally the kingdom
of God on earth. Before Saul and David who was its King? Was it not
the head of every family? How was it ruled? Was it not ruled first in
their hearts and mind by their God given conscience? Where did it go
wrong? Was it not the voice of the people?<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote35anc" HREF="#sdfootnote35sym">35</A>

out… and the LORD will not hear you... Nevertheless the people
refused to obey… Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye
every man unto his city.”
1 Samuel 8:8-22
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The centralization of a top down
authority under kings made of flesh and blood was sharply condemned
and warned against by Samuel. The people refused to listen to the
Wisdom of God as they had done from the beginning. Therefore, until
Christ the king came they were set on the road to despotism and
tyranny. People still have trouble living with out rulers who
exercise authority one over the other. This is because they have not
really received the Gospel that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

What kind of Kingdom does God
want for His children?

“That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their

</BLOCKQUOTE>
If the princes of the tribes
were over the people then what was the difference in appointing a
king over the people? The word over in Numbers 7:2 is from
amad dme translated stood
171 times and stand 137 and is almost never translated over
in more than 500 appearances. The same three Hebrew letters are also
given other Strong's numbers<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote36anc" HREF="#sdfootnote36sym">36</A>
which are translated upright or with me.
Amad means “to
stand, remain, endure, take one's stand.” The word does not
really mean over as we often think of a king or a general
ruling over his subjects. It is more in the way of enduring or
standing or endorsing an office of service, respect and duty. Now the
word numbered in the Biblical verse Numbers 7:2 is from paqad
dqp which means to attend to, muster,
number, reckon, visit, punish, appoint, look after, care for.

There were twelve tribes and the
people were gathered together in small groups of tens choosing their
civil and religious leaders from amongst the patriarchs and the
Levites. These leaders were titular because the real authority rested
with the people. God not give them an exercising authority nor the
power to compel the offerings of the people. The people did that
themselves under Saul.
This same pattern of free will
and liberty, chosen but titular public servants of small groups
networked together, was repeated in the early Church. As we see in
the upper room there were 120 families represented by name, and the
twelve apostles, one for each group of ten.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“And
in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said,
(the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)”
Acts 1:15
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Israel's early Kingdom granted
by God through Moses was a trusteeship under God the Father dependent
upon the good will of the people. It was divided into the civil power
which remained with the families. In fact each family had its own
priest, usually the eldest son. Each family was autonomous but they
gathered together in congregations of people choosing their ministers
from a pool of Levites. The priestly office of the nation bound by
liberty and charity was held by the first born of the kingdom, known
as the Levites.

The Levites took the position of
the first born of the nation when they were called out by Moses. The
Levites managed the altar and the daily ministration of the
government. They were the ministers and clerks. They served the
people and ministered to the kingdom like eldest sons in a family.
The Levites were only tithed to according to their service.
They truly were public servants.

When the people were afraid
everyone would desert while Moses was gone, they devised a common
plan found in many governments of that day and this. They deposited
their family wealth in a central vault controlled by trusted men of
government, in this case it was the the golden calf,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote37anc" HREF="#sdfootnote37sym">37</A>
Moses understood how it was a wicked thing to bind the people by
anything more than love for one another, a passion for mercy and
justice and the way of God the Father. The Levites were called out by
Moses to serve the kingdom because they had the faith to step out of
that system of social security.

The ministers of the kingdom
belonged to God as His bondservant to hold in trust His dominion on
earth for the service of the people who seek that kingdom. They had
no personal estate and depended upon the people whom they served. The
Church, from the Greek ekklesia meaning called out, was
appointed to that role by Jesus Christ. It was not to be like what
the Pharisees had be
<A NAME="FOOTNOTE 9"></A><A NAME="FOOTNOTE 10"></A>
Eventually Israel's civil powers held by the individual Patriarchs
were vested into the trusteeship of the Kings rather than the
individual Fathers of each family. The Romans underwent a similar
process of shifting the manus<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote38anc" HREF="#sdfootnote38sym">38</A>
of the family from the Patria Potestas<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote39anc" HREF="#sdfootnote39sym">39</A>
of the patriarchs to the Senate and then to the Patronus or Emperor
of their nation. This form of centralized government of power and
control is a departure from the system of faith, hope and charity
instituted by God. History, because of the sinful nature of men,
continues to repeat itself.

The priestly offices of public
servant also came under the direction of the high priests through an
adulterous corruption of that office. Following this same path of the
centralization of power is an accompanying neglect of responsibility
by the people to each other.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear
any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“For this, Thou shalt not commit

</BLOCKQUOTE>
Much of this corruption of the
Pharisees at the time of Christ grew with the Hasmonean Dynasty which
led to a corrupted priesthood and civil war. To settle that dispute
some applied to Roman international military peace keeping forces
under Pompey. They willingly agreed to help resolve disputes as to
who should be the rightful King according to Hebraic law and
tradition.

Both the Hasmonean and the
Romans heavily influenced the traditional Separation of Church and
State, religion<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote40anc" HREF="#sdfootnote40sym">40</A>
and defense,<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote41anc" HREF="#sdfootnote41sym">41</A>
along different lines than those laid down by Moses. The Church
gained some power to collect or receive taxes, own land in their own
name and exercise authority, under the Hasmonians while the State
powers, still resting with the king, began to legislate religious
doctrine and institutionalize what was previously systems of charity
under their growing control.

In 78 BC the Pharisees, a
political party, had an ordinance<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote42anc" HREF="#sdfootnote42sym">42</A>
passed requiring the temple tax be paid or the matter was handed over
to the appointed civil magistrates of Judea for enforcement by the
right hand of government. Funds flowed into the government's temple
whether it served the people or not. Now with the top down
appointment of the courts, new legislated statutes and the
fornication of the priests the government served the people less and
the people served the government more.
Much of Israel or the seed of
Abraham had little to nothing to do with the House of David from the
time of Rehoboam. At the time of Herod's occupation of the throne the
problems of the kingdom had become acute. Who should take the
positions of royal trustee of both the civil and religious aspects of
the kingdom of God on earth, High Priest and King. Jesus came to
settle the Issue

Luke 22:29 states, "And
I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;"


Here we see that the Apostles
had a Kingdom appointed to them for the purpose of ministering to
that Kingdom. In God's Kingdom the individual takes on His God given
right to the dominion of his own flesh and blood, body and soul and
also the responsibility that is correlative to that right. The
ministers of the kingdom are answerable to God through the authority
of Jesus the King. They are the bondservants of Jesus Christ serving
His Kingdom by serving the people. To coordinate these individual
freemen into one body politic under the kingship of Jesus the Christ
and God the Father without exercising dominion or authority over them
is the duty and office of His appointed Church. The Kingdom of
Heaven is a palpable reality when one recognizes its auspicious
nature. His Holy or Separate Church, which serves His kingdom, is a
proponent of the divine principles of freedom and an advocate of the
perfect law of liberty and responsibility.

As Jesus came preaching the
Kingdom of Heaven there were a few things He was going to have to do:
“ye shall return every man
unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.”
Leviticus 25:10

Most of the governments of today
exercise authority over men. They are not Christian. They are
governments like the gentiles which Jesus clearly forbid. They are
all in opposition to the teachings of Christ Jesus, the Anointed
King. [Matthew 20:25-27, Mark 10:42, Luke 22:25]

Under the perfect law of liberty
the elder father of each family group was the head of a household and
by the nature of that fact he was an elder. When the Apostles
appointed elders they were not granting the office of elder
they were appointing elders to the office of minister. Those
ministers were chosen by the people. What has become known today as
bishops were chosen by ten ministers. Bishops or overseers were to
stand and serve those original ministers and in turn
ten bishops chose an archbishop.

This system continued for most
of the followers of the Messiah even after Constantine order at Milan
to become Christian, where people picked one bishop for a whole city
and he in turn exercised authority issuing edicts and calling for the
persecution of so called non Christians. That Bishop began to
exercise authority issuing edicts and commands. He considered
a bishop as an "aristocratic figure" and formulated the
Church according to the "ways of Rome issuing decrees, edicts,
and commands" rather than serving as a subject minister and
servant of the people. He was intolerant of other religions and
actually argued in the Roman Senate that all other religions should
be stamped out.

They eventually appointed those
who ruled that new Roman church from the top down with the aid of
their crowned Kings, who were often crowned by the very Church who
was appointed to keep the people free. These so called Christians, of
course, were not a true Christians Church. They were the instituted
Church and manufactured christians<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote43anc" HREF="#sdfootnote43sym">43</A>
with more fear of Constantine than love of Jesus. The system that
grew out of this departure from the "Way of the Lord" was
contrary to the words of Jesus Christ. It was a breach of His trust.

An example of the nature of the
Church was still obvious in 600 AD when the Anglo Saxon had formed a
government with something called a Tithing man who oversaw ten
families, a Hundredsmen who oversaw ten Tithingmen, and an Eoldorman
who oversaw ten Hundredsmen. There were a thousand families known as
Shire under the oversership of an Eoldorman.

This system contributed to a
united society in part because no person was responsible for
communicating directly with more than 10 people and each man was free
to choose the Tithing man of his choice and each Tithing man in small
groups of ten chose their Hundredsman etc.. These small dedicated
often related cell groups made for an independent yet unified force
to ward off almost any hardship, attack or attempted usurpation.

The Kings were crowned by the
vicarious institution of those manufactured christians. The ruling
elite replaced the tithing men with constables who kept the
people as they kept their stables.

The people seeking the kingdom

have evolved from that influence.

<BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="western">“But
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that

them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”
Rev. 2:14, 15
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Balac was not a religion but a
government system that brought the people to a state of selfish
apathy and wantonness by an exercising authority and covetous vanity.
The exercising authority of rulers, their entitlements, traditions
and doctrines usurps the responsibility of the individual and brings
them into sloth, apathy and avarice.

Religion today has been polluted
by men who desire power and authority over other people, whether in
civil democracies or the church pew. This power and authority was
never intended by the Lord.

18:15 
</BLOCKQUOTE>
We may return to the ancient
paths and join together in true worship of our King and Father.
Modern Christianity is the product of centuries of book burning,
prevarication and persecution. We must learn to worship the Father by
paying Him homage and service by caring for His sheep. We cannot
serve two masters nor can we pay homage to one King while we say we
worship another.

he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2
</BLOCKQUOTE>
There should be no king or ruler
for Christians but Jesus the Christ. No Father on earth but our
Father in Heaven. It is that kingdom of liberty under God which is at
hand. It is the justice and mercy of His perfect law of liberty to
which we owe our homage, allegiance and worship.

'''Aerarium ''' (from Lat. aes, in its derived
sense of ``money'') the name (in full, aerarium stabulum,
treasure-house) given in ancient [[Rome]] to the public treasury,
and in a secondary sense to the public finances. The treasury
contained the moneys and accounts of the state, and also the
standards of the legions; the public laws engraved on brass, the
decrees of the senate and other papers and registers of importance.
These public treasures were deposited in the temple of Saturn, on
the eastern slope of the Capitoline hill... In addition to the
common treasury, supported by the general taxes and charged with the
ordinary expenditure, there was a special reserve fund, also in the
temple of [[Saturn]], the aerarium sanctum (or sanctius), probably
originally consisting of the spoils of war, afterwards maintained
chiefly by a 5% tax... The later emperors had a separate aerarium
privatum, containing the moneys allotted for their own use, distinct
from the fiscus, which they administered in the interests of the
empire. '' From a 1911 Encyclopedia

The word [[Worship|worship]] in the Old Testament is ''shachah'' החשׁ which is translated worship 99 times, but bow 31 times, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3. It is defined "to bow down" "before superior in homage".

Giving allegiance or pledging allegiance to, paying homage to a superior, a lord, a [[gods|god]] or The God, our [[Father|father]] or [[Patronus|patronus]].

People are so stuck in the religious rut of modern superstitions.
People think [[Religion]] ''Threskeia''.... worship is ritualistic worship. Clapping, dancing, singing and praising. Religion is what you do and not just what you ''think'' about God or gods. [[Pure Religion]] was how you voluntarily take care of your obligation to God and your fellow man, which is to love him or her in a way that contributes to their welfare.

Worshiping in [[Pure Religion]] is caring for the needy of society without the assistance of the [[world]] nor those who are often called the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' or the [[Benefactors]] of the [[world]]. But their welfare is by force, not charity like [[John the Baptist]], [[Jesus]] and the [[Apostles]] like [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]].

The [[Modern Christian]] may even think the word ''threskos'' has to do with fearing which some say derives from ''threomai'' meaning ''to tremble'', but more modern scholars link it with ''therap''- meaning to serve. Christ said he came to serve and if we are to come in His [[name]] we must do the same.

The word ''therapon'' meaning Servant [Noun] and akin to ''therapeuo'', "to serve, to heal, an attendant, servant," is a term of dignity and freedom, used of [[Moses]] in [[Hebrews 3]]:5. The word ''therapeia'' meaning ''Heal'', ''Healing'' and is also akin to the same word ''therapeuo'', primarily denotes the ideas of "care, attention."

The [[Religion]] of Christ is caring about one another in a way that strengthens the people in [[The Way]] of Christ. It is bowing and bending to His ways of righteous and [[charitable practices]] of [[love]] and [[forgive]]ness.

This makes sense according to the context of James and the fact that mindless rituals made no sense in early Israel nor the [[early Church]], nor the activities of Jesus nor would they bear [[fruit]]. Jesus said we should seek the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] and if we are not seeing a system of social [[welfare]] operating by [[charity]] alone we are not worshiping Jesus nor God the [[Father]].

Some knew that religious worship was real care for others yet people fail to do that which was called for and make a [[False religion|false religious]] rites out of what is not an element of His gospel...

: [[Galatians 4]]:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

This series of article which appeared at News With Views after I read a Chuck Baldwin article on the same subject has been used for some time in a private run police academy in Florida as a part of their training courses. I was amazed when they approached me for permission to incorporate it in their curriculum.

There are two spirits working or warring in America today, even in the whole [[World|world]]. One is of the light and liberty and righteousness of the [[Kingdom of God]] the other is of darkness [[covet]]ing and seeking the tyranny of Hell.

Someone who read these News With Views articles conjectured that I actually never answered the very question I raised.

He attempted to summarize the articles with maybe a hint of sarcasm:
: ''"Christians have the right to defend themselves, their family and their neighbor using whatever force is necessary against ''thugs'' bent on doing them ill. That is unless the ''thug'' represents the government, in which case they should take their copy of Black's Law Dictionary to the nearest law library, study the countless laws they've subjected themselves to determine what is permissible in the situation they encountered. Of course such an endeavor should only be undertaken with the guidance and discernment provided by the Holy Spirit as few mortals would actually be able to fully comprehend what they're reading without divine guidance. After completing such a course of study one would know what the morally correct thing they should have done all those decades ago."''

Well I thought I would make a feeble attempt at a summary avoiding the ''step by step'' in depth look that may have encouraged the teachers at the police academy to approach me for the use of these articles. Maybe this will allow me to answer the question as to who is the real ''thug''. Who resulted to force first? After all according to [[Mark Passio]] it is the one who through the first blow that is critical in deciding who is really the ''thug''.

'''Summary'''
{{#ev:youtube|31jeZ3m0qKA|300|right|UNC Interview: Part 6: Capital Punishment and Self Defense] ~2 min}}

The question is answered in the [http://www.newswithviews.com/Gregory/williams109.htm first article] which clearly states you not only have a right but a responsibility and, even an obligation to defend yourself and others.

The rest of the articles show you why you are loosing your right to obtain the means to meet this natural obligation because you will not gather together as one body bound in [[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]]. Instead you bind yourselves together by [[COg|contracts]] with [[Benefactors]] who [[Exercises_authority|exercise authority]] one over the other including over your neighbor. This desire for [[benefits]] at the expense of your neighbor [[Polybius|alters society]] makes you [[merchandise]], [[curse children|curses children]] and it is all because your application to eat at the table of rulers is a [[Snare|snare and a trap]].

People fail to defend themselves and their neighbor from destitution through accidents, by unforeseen poverty and disease etc. Because people pray to government for social security, Medicare and Medicaid and other social and health benefits and care. Their provisions are of the [[Nimrod]]s of the [[World]] who are taking on your responsibilities and are licensed by you to take from you and of course all your neighbors and thereby obtain a right to regulate your life.

You want to take from the rich because he is rich and it is your own possessions and rights which are forfeited. Your desire for [[One purse]] has captured you in a net of your own making. When you cry out because of your oppression you will not be [[Cry out|heard by God]].

Like the father who says ''if you live under my roof and eat at my table you go by my rules.''

This is undoubtedly why Jesus said '''Call no man Father''' 
: What was Christ trying to tell us about [[Fathers|fathers]] on the earth? 
: http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/fatherabba.php

This is why [http://www.newswithviews.com/Gregory/williams112.htm article 4] states clearly, "While the State of Montana has recently made an attempt to protect individual rights by enacting state provisions, few understand that individual rights require individual responsibility. Gun rights advocates wait to see what the Federal reaction will be. The difficulty the Federal government faces will remain, as always, how will they maintain the delusion that US citizens still enjoy natural God given rights as free people, while continuing to regulate such rights as the privilege they have become?"

The liberal label is for those people who believe in the right to choose except your right to choose to not pay for their abortion, or free education or healthcare. They actually do not believe in the right to choose at all and the gun advocate has already decided that it is okay to force their neighbor to pay for government services ( [[Health]], [[Education]] and [[Welfare]]) at the point of the government's gun. They have chosen, given [[Consent|consent]], to take away the right of their neighbor to choose and have lost their own right to choose.

Americans have already proved themselves ''violent thugs'' and predators and unworthy of fire arms when they through [[Covetous Practices]] apply for benefits from men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] but who [[Exercises_authority|exercise authority]]. So I continued to write "Americans have failed to retain those rights by failing to recognize the consequences of applications for and acceptance of benefits, along with pervasive participation in social schemes dependent upon mutual surety and debt as seen in Pharaoh's Egypt, Nimrod's Babylon, Caesar's Rome, or Herod's Judea."

And then finish with "If you will not take back the responsibility to govern yourselves, to care and protect one another, to live by faith with hope through charity under the [[Perfect law of liberty]] which is love, and the duty of every Christian and God loving man, then you are probably to irresponsible to own a gun without being regulated by one government or another."

Americans have become comfortable with the idea of taking a bite out of one another. They have become little ''benefit beasties''. Bound together by contract they all have the [[Mark of the Beast]] and have created a Beast by their [[Covetous Practices]] that goes about devouring who it wills.

The Poor Princes of
the kingdom

The princes of Israel were
to serve only and be chosen as servants of servants to keep the
people free souls under God. This is the essence of a good Church.
This has been the nature of the Kingdom and government of God from
the beginning. Other forms of government seen throughout the Bible,
in opposition to God, give power to men to rule with authority. Both
governments require support. 


In the first, the people
must choose to support those who fall upon need, finance the
ministration of government, and provide the protection of the country
locally and nationally by free contributions.

In the latter, the people
are required by those in power to provide for the needs of the state
by forced contributions that take both substance and choice from
their neighbor. 


The former depends on
reciprocating charity, service, and freewill offerings. 


The other has reciprocating
entitlements where the people are under the exercising authority of
the political benefactor. It does not matter if that benefactor is a
despot or a democracy. In all cases men rule over
men, choice is diminished, and God is rejected. The kingdom of heaven
is within and if the choice is not made in the hearts and minds of
men then the kingdom is abandoned.

This latter system of men
is not instituted by God. It is a violation of God’s way which
Christ spoke against.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote1anc" HREF="#sdfootnote1sym">1</A>
Such systems often speak of faith in God, have their rituals and
gatherings where they claim to pray to God but in fact their prayers
and kings are not to Christ or the Father but to the Caesars of the
world. Their ordinances and laws make the word of God to none effect,
but what of the Church?

God’s congregation in
the wilderness and in the first century Church were gathered together
in free will fellowships. Since, the congregation are composed of
free men and women, they must establish a titular body to represent
them without giving it an exercising authority over their liberty.
The called out ministers of the Church represent that servant body
politic to the world.

Christians would not bind
themselves to the Nicolaitan altars of power by oath, application or
participation. Those offered entitlements were funded by agents with
exercising authority over neighbors or by oppressing the stranger.
Christians could not pray at such covetous altars, but put their
faith in another king who preached a different kind of way and
government with gregarious altars of charity. 


They formed living altars
of faithful men who received the freewill offerings of the people
called sacrifice. They would redistribute those gifts through the
living network of congregations and churches. There was no central
store house, but a constant weekly and daily flow of that which made
the body whole and healthy. The people retained their rights and
responsibilities. Such volunteer system of living altars allowed the
people to survive in hard times and could be called sacred purpose
ministries. Such trust needs some form of protector or overseer or an
authoritarian state will eventually assume that office. 


The ordained ministers of
the Church supplied both the representation and that position of
servant overseer. They did not usurp or exercise authority over the
people, but stood in appointed authority between the corpus of the
people and the interlopers and usurpers of the other governments of
the world.

The critical difference
between a God inspired government and governments of the other
nations is that no authority over the people is vested in that public
office. Those who seek that office of service are subject to the job
description given by Christ and by Moses. They could be in but not of
the world. 


Christ restricted them
from owning property in their own name. This is a very controversial
subject but it was key to the standing of the Church in the
wilderness, <A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote2anc" HREF="#sdfootnote2sym">2</A>
at the time of Christ and in the free Church today. The autonomy of
the Church is not only dependent upon the Church rejecting benefits
of the world, but the ordained ministers must also reject all
benefits of the world that might ensnare them.

In those early days of
Israel when there was no king the ministers of the government of
liberty and charity had no inheritance in the land but holding
all things in common they belonged to God.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote3anc" HREF="#sdfootnote3sym">3</A>
They were foreign to the world and to the people.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote4anc" HREF="#sdfootnote4sym">4</A>



The apostles were appointed
a kingdom, but told to not be like the the princes, rulers, or the
kings of the Gentiles.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote5anc" HREF="#sdfootnote5sym">5</A>
These men were princes of the kingdom, but unlike most every
government today they did not exercise authority one over the other.
In the early Church those ordained disciples of Christ had no
inheritance in land because Christ ordered that they sell their
property or they could not be His disciple, student ministers.<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote6anc" HREF="#sdfootnote6sym">6</A>
Those like Barnabas obeyed this command, but Ananias did not.
Understanding Barnabas, who was Joses a Levite who owned property in
Cyprus<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote7anc" HREF="#sdfootnote7sym">7</A>
was not allowed to by God according to Moses. In order to obey Jesus
he had to sell it and give the money away. “But” Ananias
failed to do so and died.

If
the ministers of Christ are a part of the estate of Christ they can
have no personal estate of their own. This is essential to the
foreign nature of the Church to maintain true autonomy. This unique
status of a ordained minister with no personal estate is important to
mention, but we will have to deal with the detailed examination and
explanation in another place.

Coercive Church

2017-09-12T23:59:41Z

Claudevt:

[[File:eve2.jpg|left]]After 2000 years of confusion and misrepresentation by religious leaders, the answer to the question of Pilate “What is truth?” is as difficult to settle among the modern church denominations as it was amongst the [[Pharisees]], Sadducees and Zealots of that day. Pilate found no fault in the statement of Jesus, “Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the [[world]], that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”<Ref>[[John 18]]:37 “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.” </Ref>

In this day of modern religious extremism and apathy it has become necessary to explain what the phrase “Coercive Church" means. The truth is Christ was a king of a government and though His kingdom was not a part of the “[[world]]” of Pontius Pilate and [[Rome]], it was here at hand and for the living.

Jesus did not preach some Sunday go to meeting Church.<Ref> [[Luke 22]]:29, 12:32, 16:16, [[Hebrews 12]]:28, [[Matthew 21]]:43, [[Matthew 23]]:13, [[Matthew 26]]:29, [[Mark 1]]:15, [[Mark 4]]:11, [[Mark 9]]:1, [[Mark 11]]:10. </Ref> He preached and [[appoint]]ed a kingdom, the [[Kingdom of God]].

He took the government from the [[moneychangers]] and the [[Pharisees]] who sat in the seat of [[Moses]] and appointed it to the apostles who worked ''daily in the temple''<Ref>Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,</Ref> providing a [[daily ministration]] from house to house. The [[early Church]] provided the entire social [[welfare]] for a society that not only believed in Christ but also they were doing and living His way of love and mutual service through one "form of government".

[[File:Jesusfeeds.jpg|right|200px|thumb|[[Abraham]], [[Moses]], John the [[Baptism|Baptist]] and [[Jesus]] and the [[early Church]] advocated a [[Daily ministration]] for the needy of the Christian community that was dependent on [[Charity]] only and it was not like the system of [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] nor the [[Bread and circuses|free bread]] of [[Rome]]. It was their [[Pure Religion]] that brought them into a [[Christian conflict]] with [[Public religion]] and the [[Covetous Practices]] of the [[World]].]]

The Church was a [[government]]. It was ''[[Church legally defined|one form of government]]'' but it was not coercive in the performance of its responsibilities of caring and providing the charitable social welfare needs of the people. [[Rome]], [[Herod]], and the [[Pharisees]], including many of the other governments surrounding the Mediterranean, had extensive social welfare systems. Roman free [[bread and circuses]] spread to Judea, and Augustus was loved for [[benefactors|his benefaction]] by many of its citizens.

: “In Jesus’ day an impressive system of welfare tended the poor ... The tithe of grain and fruit could first be exchanged for silver ... silver for grain, wine, oil, and whatever would promote the joy of the people in the presence of their God ... The tithe also functioned as a kind of a tax to support the temple and its personnel… An administration was in charge of the storehouse for the continued welfare of the personnel… The presentation of any offering required careful adherence to the prescribed regulations...”<Ref> Elwell Evangelical Dictionary </Ref>

About 78 BC, the [[Pharisees]], which were a political party, thought they had a better idea. Their Sanhedrin decided to create a [[socialist]] state that could exercise authority over the people by compelling contributions and enacted a law upon the people to enforce the collection of temple tribute.<Ref>Salome- Alexandra (about 78 BC), that the Pharisaical party, being then in power, had carried an enactment by which the Temple tribute was to be enforced at law. Alfred Edersheim’s book The Temple. </Ref>

This was gradual at first but under [[Herod]] the contribution of members was no longer the [[freewill offering]] as prescribed in the Old Testament. The government instituted for Judea by the [[Pharisees]] no longer operated like the one that was instituted by the revolutionary ideas of Moses.

The [[temples]] were government buildings which administered systems of social security with a contribution called [[Corban]]. In the early days of Israel [[Corban]] was provided by “[[freewill offerings|freewill offerings]]”,<Ref> [[Leviticus 22]]:18 “Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever [he be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his [[freewill offerings]], which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;” Exodus 35:29, 36:3, Leviticus 7:16, Numbers 7:5, 15:3, 29:39, Deuteronomy 12:6, 17, 16:10, 23:23, Ezra 3:5, 8:28, Psalms 54:6, Psalms 119:108, Ezekiel 46:12, Amos 4:5 </Ref> but the [[Corban]] of these Pharisees demanded the contributions of its members by statutory enforced decree.<Ref> “On the 25th of Adar business was only transacted within the precincts of Jerusalem and of the Temple, and after that date those who had refused to pay the impost could be proceeded against at law, and their goods distrained, the only exception being in favour of priests, and that ‘for the sake of peace,’ lest their office should come in disrepute.” Alfred Edersheim’s book The Temple, p. 71. </Ref> This filled the treasury of the temples of Herod through his employed government ministers.

[[Herod]] wanted to make his “Temple the largest… in the world… a quarter of a mile long by a fifth of a mile wide… Twenty thousand functionaries were employed in its servicing....”<Ref>Jesus, The Evidence, Ian Wilson Oct 1, 2000. </Ref> This socialist system offered many benefits to the people, but would alter the character of society. This entrusted mammon<Ref>“[[Mammon]], an Aramaic word mamon “wealth” … It is probably derived from Ma’amon, something entrusted to safe keeping. Encyclopedia Britannica. </Ref> was spoken of by Christ. It would eventually fail, but not before it corrupted the hearts and minds of the people as in the days of Sodom.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 16]]:49 “Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” </Ref>

“But the [[Pharisees]] and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.” [[Luke 7]]:30

Surprisingly enough the Pharisees and lawyers were baptized - but not by John. “[[Herod]]’s scheme of initiation into a new form of Judaism was immensely successful. Jews everywhere were willing to join the worldwide society ... Entry was for members only; they had to show at the door an admission token in the form of a white stone from the river Jordan which the missionaries gave them at baptism. On the stone was written their new Jewish name.”<Ref> Jesus and the Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls by Barbara Thiering, Harper Collins: 1992 </Ref>

[[John the Baptist]]'s system of social welfare was true charity through the voluntary sacrifice of people.<Ref> [[Luke 3]]:11 “He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.” </Ref> The Pharisees, in the vanity of their religion, were forcing contribution of their members under the threat of punitive persecution.<Ref> [[Galatians 1]]:3-14 “For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.” </Ref> Their system of social welfare was supported through the sacrifices and contributions of the people, called [[Corban]]. Their form of [[Corban]] was condemned by Christ because it made the “word of God to none effect”.<Ref> [[Mark 7]]:13 “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition[translated ordinances in 1 Corinthians 11:2], which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” </Ref>

God's [[government]] had always depended on the [[freewill offerings]] which both God and a free society require. The governments of the [[world]] often require full faith and allegiance to their leaders who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other.<Ref> Matthew 20:25..., Mark 10:42..., Luke 22:25 “And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.” </Ref> In this one precept we may see a fundamental difference both then and now between the [[Kingdom of God]] as preached by John, Jesus and the apostles and the kingdoms or governments of the “[[world]]”.

The Christian system of [[welfare]] operated by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] only. Israel was a government and not a “religion” alone. The word “religion” seldom appears in the Bible. Few people understand the difference between the "[[pure religion]]"<Ref> [[James 1]]:27 “[[Pure religion]] and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.” http://www.hisholychurch.org/news/articles/religion.php </Ref> spoken of in the New Testament and the impure religion of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect.<Ref> “The Corban of the Pharisees” http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/corban.php
Corban, Worshipping God in vain. Systems of sacrifice that make the word of God to none effect.

<Ref>“Not of this World” http://www.hisholychurch.org/news/articles/world.php </Ref> or what that meant in the Biblical context of James. Religion was the way people maintained their social welfare system. This was the central focus in many of the other temples of other governments at that time.

Yes, the [[Kingdom of God]] was a system of faith which required hope and charity in love, not force.<Ref>Matthew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” </Ref> In early Israel, as it was in the early Church, your tithing and free will offerings were given as a voluntary choice by individuals of every congregation. That contribution was given according to the service of their personal minister by choice not by dictates of statutes or the imposed penalties of men.<Ref>Numbers 7:5 "Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service." </Ref>

: “Some scholars regard the ancient confederation of Hebrew tribes that endured in Palestine from the 15th century BC until a monarchy was established about 1020 BC as an embryonic republic.”<Ref>“Republic,” Microsoft ® Encarta. © 1994 Ms. Corp. and F & W Corp. </Ref>

Likewise, “The churches in New England were so many nurseries of freemen, training them in the principles of self-government and accustoming them to the feeling of independence. In these petty organizations were developed, in practice, the principles of individual and national freedom. Each church was a republic in embryo. The fiction became a fact, the abstraction a reality...”<Ref> Lives of Issac Heath and John Bowles, Elders of the Church and of John Eliot, Jr., preacher in the mid 1600’, written by J, Wingate Thorton. 1850 </Ref> In Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he praised “the union and discipline of the Christian republic.” He also pointed out that “it gradually formed an independent and increasing state in the heart of the Roman Empire.”<Ref> Rousseau and Revolution, Will et Ariel Durant p.801. fn 83 Heiseler, 85. </Ref>

Both Israel and the early Church were called Republics by historians because of the titular nature of its leaders who served the people and the needs of society without exercising authority one over the other. The people retained their God given right of choice,<Ref> Judges 17:6 “In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.”</Ref> their original God given liberty,<Ref>Thy Kingdom Comes24 http://www.hisholychurch.org/media/books/THL/tableofcontents.php </Ref> because they exercised their responsibility to provide the service of government through faith, hope and community charity. Any government whose leaders are no longer titular is no longer a Republic.<Ref>Chapter 7. of the book The Covenants of the gods [[Republic]] vs [[Democracy]] http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/gods/cog7rvd.php Audio http://keysofthekingdom.info/COG-07.mp3 </Ref>

While the modern churches say “all you have to do is believe”, in reality it appears that Christ actually talked about doers of the word not hearers only.<Ref>Matthew 7:21-26, Matthew 8:9-10 [Luke 7:8-9], Luke 6:47, Luke 6:49, Mark 3:35, Mark 10:19, Mark 11:26, Luke 3:10-14, Luke 6:27, Luke 6:27-46, Luke 10:37, Luke 18:18-20, John 7:17, John 3:20-21, John 9:31, James 1:22, James 2:14-26, Revelation 20:13 </Ref>

He talked about striving and about those who were told to depart, because they were workers of iniquity.<Ref>Matthew 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” </Ref> Jesus did not come to license the members of His Church to covet<Ref>[[2 Peter 2]]:3...14 “And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.... Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:” </Ref> their neighbors' goods through the agency of governments they make for themselves.

'''"The civil law is what a people establishes for itself."'''<Ref> Inst. 1, 2, 1; Jackson v. Jackson, 1 Johns. (N.Y.) 424, 426. </Ref>

The sins of the [[Pharisees]] were many, but one of them was their statutory socialism which made the word of God to none effect, which was a rejection of God. [[Christ]] came to save them and the world from sin if they would [[repent]]. There should be no doubt that preconceived and false notions accepted with blind faith is nothing more than a continuation of the blind leading the blind.

From [[Cain]] and those first city-states to Nimrod and his world-ruling tower of Babel, or from the statutory [[corvee]] bondage in Egypt to Herod, the Sanhedrin of the [[Pharisees]] and the commercial and military control of Judea by [[Rome]], the [[Bible]] is either about man and his relationship with the God of Heaven or with the governments of men, and the gods<Ref>The gods Many http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/godsmany.php </Ref> of those governments.

[[Jesus]] said in [[Matthew 20]]:25 “But Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.”

The early ministers of the church said “there is another king, [one] Jesus"<Ref> [[Acts 17]]:7 “Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of [[Caesar]], saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.” </Ref> and that “We ought to obey God rather than men”.<Ref>[[Acts 5]]:29 “Then Peter and the [other] [[apostles]] answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” </Ref> But we were also told in Exodus 23:32 “Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.”
<Ref>[[Exodus 23]]:32 “Thou shalt make [[CCC|no covenant]] with them, nor with their gods.” Deuteronomy 7:2.
http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/gods/index.php </Ref>

The Church was composed of [[benefactors]] who did not exercise authority but provided all the social [[welfare]] of the people through the perfect law of liberty by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]]. That took real faith and doing, forgiveness and giving, sacrifice and love. Being a Christian was not as easy as [[modern Christians]] would like to believe.

Instead the modern church sends people to eat at the tables of those socialist benefactors who exercise authority one over the other which makes the word of God to none effect. They were warned that those tables served deceitful meats,<Ref> [[Proverbs 23]]:1 “When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.” deceitful is from kazab normally translated lie and defined “untruth, falsehood, deceptive thing”. </Ref> that they were a snare<Ref> [[Psalms 69]]:22 “Let their table become a [[snare]] before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.” </Ref> and a trap.<Ref> [[Romans 11]]:9 “And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:” </Ref>

The [[religion]] practiced today is done at the government [[temples]] which provide for the needy of modern society. Those administrators are the priests of the people's true religion and their government is the new [[Pharisees]] of the [[Coercive Church]] established by men. Their schemes of [[Social Security|social security]] are formed like those of Herod and the Pharisees and again ''make the word of God to none effect''. What they do on Sunday is just to ease their own conscience or tickle their ears with false hopes so they may give heed to fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.<Ref> Titus 1:14 “Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” </Ref>

Christ meant [[His Church]] to set the ''table of the Lord'' through [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] through the [[Perfect law of liberty]]. To depend on the [[welfare]] of rulers of the [[world]] ''who [[exercise authority]] one over the other'' and pray to the ''[[fathers]] of the earth'' for their [[Plutarch|gifts, gratuities]] and [[benefits]] would again ''entangle'' the people in the [[elements]] and [[bondage]] of their [[world]].<Ref> [[Galatians 5]]:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the [[yoke]] of [[bondage]].”
: [[2 Peter 2]]:20 “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the [[world]] through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.” </Ref>

Christ came to open our eyes to the [[covetous practices]] and sins common in the history of men and to set us free if we will [[repent]].<Ref>Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,” </Ref>As we see the unrighteous [[mammon]] failing,<Ref> Luke 16:9 “And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.” </Ref> it is time for the people and the ministers of their churches to [[repent]] and seek the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] by coming together in a [[network]] of [[love]] so that they will be suitable for more righteous habitations.

'''Editor Notes: Work in progress more to come'''

If you choose to use any information from these web sites and pages it should be with the understanding that what works for one soul may not work for another. The factors to consider are that we are physical beings and are subject to our environments. We have different genetic make ups, soils in one area may contain trace minerals that another area doesn't, same types of food from different food sources can contain an ingredient that may help or cause further discomfort. Unnatural food additives can sometimes cause ill effects when combined with certain foods.
Though we are physical beings we also have spiritual aspects. Simple changes in our mental attitude can make big differences. More can be stated and addressed later.

Web Sites For Health and Prevention and Useful Information

'''Editor Notes: Work in progress more to come'''

If you choose to use any information from these web sites and pages it should be with the understanding that what works for one soul may not work for another. The factors to consider are that we are physical beings and are subject to our environments. We have different genetic make ups, soils in one area may contain trace minerals that another area doesn't, same types of food from different food sources can contain an ingredient that may help or cause further discomfort. Unnatural food additives can sometimes cause ill effects when combined with certain foods.
Though we are physical beings we also have spiritual aspects. Simple changes in our mental attitude can make big differences. More can be stated and addressed later.

Note: Many sites have search boxes that can make your information seeking easier and some sites may have changed or expired.

Web Sites For Health and Prevention and Useful Information

'''Editor Notes: Work in progress more to come'''

If you choose to use any information from these web sites and pages it should be with the understanding that what works for one soul may not work for another. The factors to consider are that we are physical beings and are subject to our environments. We have different genetic make ups, soils in one area may contain trace minerals that another area doesn't, same types of food from different food sources can contain an ingredient that may help or cause further discomfort. Unnatural food additives can sometimes cause ill effects when combined with certain foods.
Though we are physical beings we also have spiritual aspects. Simple changes in our mental attitude can make big differences. More can be stated and addressed later.

Note: Many sites have search boxes that can make your information seeking easier and some sites may have changed or expired.

Web Sites For Health and Prevention and Useful Information

'''Editor Notes: Work in progress more to come'''

If you choose to use any information from these web sites and pages it should be with the understanding that what works for one soul may not work for another. The factors to consider are that we are physical beings and are subject to our environments. We have different genetic make ups, soils in one area may contain trace minerals that another area doesn't, same types of food from different food sources can contain an ingredient that may help or cause further discomfort. Unnatural food additives can sometimes cause ill effects when combined with certain foods.
Though we are physical beings we also have spiritual aspects. Simple changes in our mental attitude can make big differences. More can be stated and addressed later.

Note: Many sites have search boxes that can make your information seeking easier and some sites may have changed or expired.

Conversation in
Heaven

In Philippians 3:20 Paul
talks about our conversation being in heaven. But the word
“conversation” here in the Greek is “politeuma”
which actually meant “the administration of civil affairs...
[a] form of government and the laws by which it is administered... of
citizens.”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote1anc" HREF="#sdfootnote1sym">1</A>

The word is from “politeuomai” which means “to be a
citizen.” 
Much of what was commonly considered part of the
“administration of civil affairs” in Judea, Rome, and
most of the governments of the world in the first millennium
after Christ was handled by church and congregation rather than the
benefactors of governments who exercised authority over the
contributions of the people. The Christians had been cast out of the
religion of the Pharisees administered through the government
temples. The sacrifices, or Corban, of those temples had made the
word of God to none effect through a system of compelled
contributions enforced by law.

The activities of the early
Church government in 150 AD are described in Justin’s
First Apology:

“And
they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and
what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the
orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other
cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers
sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in
need.”

The early Church, even
after the divergence of Constantine, still took care of the people
through intimate congregations who came together in the thanksgiving
or the Eucharist of Christ through faith, hope and charity, under the
perfect law of liberty. They would not eat of that which was
sacrificed on the altars of benefactors who exercise authority one
over the other. The true Church remained a “pure religion”.

Citizenship in America was
originally based on the ownership of land and the welfare of the
community was provided through the hands and hearts of the people.
This brought the people together so that they could stand as one body
against threats and tyrants. They had developed the bonds of trust
that grow in the practice of faith in virtue, as opposed to the
covetous systems which make merchandise and human resources of men.
The true revolution of America was a return to the ways of love and
hope.

The return of the people to
God-given rights was the result of their prior return to their
God-given responsibilities. Like in the days of Egypt, the people
exerted an extreme effort to care for one another which led not only
to their freedom, but restored the virtue so necessary in society to
maintain that liberty.

Because of that long
struggle and mutual sacrifice in a new world and a bloody stand
against an unwarranted usurpation, the “People of a
state [were] entitled to all rights which formerly belonged to the
king by his prerogative.”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote2anc" HREF="#sdfootnote2sym">2</A>
“In
one sense, the term ‘sovereign’ has for its correlative
‘subject.’ In this sense, the term can receive no
application; for it has no object in the [Original] Constitution of
the United States. Under that Constitution there are citizens, but no
subjects.”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote3anc" HREF="#sdfootnote3sym">3</A>



This
early 1793 Chishom v. Georgia case and other American
jurisprudence cases speaks of a free and natural non-subject
citizenship, but by 1842 there was already talk of surrendering
rights and becoming subject to the will of authoritarian benefactors.

“For when the [so called American] revolution took place, the
people of each state became themselves sovereign; and in that
character hold the absolute right to all their navigable waters, and
the soils under them, for their own common use, subject only to the
rights since surrendered by the constitution to the general
government.”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote4anc" HREF="#sdfootnote4sym">4</A>

The inalienable rights of
men are still here, but access and exercise of those God-given rights
may be barred by contracts, as well as by their agreements and the
obligations of those agreements. This is clearly a substantiation and
confirmation of the prohibition by God of making no covenants or
contracts with the inhabitants where you go. 


Modern
citizenship “in the United States ‘is a political
obligation’ depending not on ownership of land, but on the
enjoyment of the protection of government; and it ‘binds the
citizen to the observance of all laws’ of his sovereign.”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote5anc" HREF="#sdfootnote5sym">5</A>
“A citizen of the United States is a
member of the large society which we call the United States of
America.”<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote6anc" HREF="#sdfootnote6sym">6</A>

As a member of a corporate government a
citizen may incur obligations of debt as a surety. Through voluntary
application and participation he may be subjecting himself and his
descendants to authority that may seem foreign and even the
antitheses of the ways of Christ and the kingdom that we were to
preach which is at hand. They are certainly contradictions to the
perfect law of liberty and faith, hope and charity. They were in
Egypt where God sent Moses to lead the people out, and they were in
Israel when God stated that the people’s desire for an
authoritarian benefactor was a rejection of Him. It is certainly in
opposition to Christ’s command to not be like the governments
of the world who have benefactors which exercise authority one over
the other.

If you choose to use any information from these web sites and pages it should be with the understanding that what works for one soul may not work for another. The factors to consider are that we are physical beings and are subject to our environments. We have different genetic make ups, soils in one area may contain trace minerals that another area doesn't, same types of food from different food sources can contain an ingredient that may help or cause further discomfort. Unnatural food additives can sometimes cause ill effects when combined with certain foods.
Though we are physical beings we also have spiritual aspects. Simple changes in our mental attitude can make big differences. More can be stated and addressed later.

Constantine

2017-05-27T21:21:27Z

Claudevt: /* The Allurement of Wolves */

[[File:FlaviusSalerusConstantinus.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Constantine murdered people by the thousands including partners and their families. He gives little evidence he ever was a follower of Christ or believed in what [[early Christians]] were doing. Jesus legalized Christianity. Constantine legalized what became Catholicism which was a milder form of merging of the State and Constantine's form of Christianity which is what the [[Modern Church]] has done. Protestants have followed Constantine's lead. [[Religion]] use to be defined as how you took care of the needy of society. [[Pure Religion]] was doing hat without the State. Romans in the [[Republic]] took care of the needy of society through [[freewill offerings]] like ancient Israel but under the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] the [[temples]] became [[government]] institutions supported by [[taxation]]. [[John the Baptist]] and [[Jesus]] the [[Christ]] were social reformers who were teaching people how to go back to free societies through the practice of [[Pure Religion]] through the perfect law of liberty. This was the [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]]. The [[Modern Christian]] is in conflict with [[The Way]] of Christ.]]

== The Allurement of Wolves ==

Was Constantine a Christian?

The [[Baptism]] by the order of Constantine did not require [[repent]]ance.

''Flavius Salerus Constantinus'' has been touted in some historical accounts as the first Roman Emperor who was converted to Christianity. Was Flavius the King and Emperor really a man propagating the Gospel of Jesus?

He alleged that an apparition of Christ told him to put XP (khi, hro)<Ref>XP are the first two Greek letters in the word, ''christos'' which means “anointed”, the same as the word messiah. ''Christos'' is also the name of a Greek God. Christos </Ref> on his shield, on the eve of the battle against Maxentius, his empirical rival in Italy. Did Jesus alter his position on exercising authority?

<blockquote>'' “And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called [[benefactors]]. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.” ([[Luke 22]]:25, 27 - [[Matthew 20]]:25 - [[Mark 10]]:42)''</blockquote>

Did Constantine obey this command of Christ?

Constantine was truly a man of visions. He had also claimed a vision of the sun god in 310 while in a grove of Apollo in Gaul.

Constantine may have witnessed Diocletian's destruction of the Christian church at Nicomedia on the 23rd February 303 AD which was the beginning of the ''"Great Persecution"''. This was the tenth and final persecution of Christianity as a [[Private welfare|private religion]].

Emperors Diocletian, Galerius, Maximian, and Constantius demanded that Christians comply with traditional [[Public religion|Roman religious practices]] which included the Roman version of the Pharisees [[Corban]].

They rescinded the ''legal rights'' of Christians and ordered the destruction of their ''scriptures''<Ref>There was no [[Bible]] as we know it today at that time but there was many books and writings used by Christians to teach [[The Way|the way]] of Christ</Ref>, ''liturgical books''<Ref>Christian ''[[liturgy]]'' consisted of records about people who looked to the Church for their [[Daily ministration]] and those records were similar to the ones kept in the [[Temples|Roman temples]] which supplied the [[Welfare|welfare]] of citizens.</Ref>, and places of [[Worship|worship]] across the empire. It became illegal for Christians to even ''[[Free Assemblies|freely assemble]]''.

The Christians had been feared by the emperors of the past because of the "union and discipline" of their network. <Ref>In Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter XV, he praised “the union and discipline of the Christian republic”. He also pointed out that “it gradually formed an independent and increasing state in the heart of the Roman Empire”. Rousseau and Revolution, Will et Ariel Durant p.801. fn 83 Heiseler, 85.</Ref> Their non-participation in the [[Imperial Cult of Rome|welfare systems of Rome]] caused such envy and jealousy the Christians were even deprived of the right to petition the administrative courts of [[Rome]], which would subject them to judicial torture.

They could not respond to actions brought against them in court because they had no status due to their refusal to register in [[Temples|Roman temples]]. At that time there were Christian senators, equestrians, decurions, veterans, and soldiers who were deprived of their rank. Some freed slaves were even re-enslaved.

People went along with this injustice because they had degenerated as a moral society. [[Polybius]] had predicted this hundreds of years before when he wrote:

<blockquote>'' "The masses continue with an appetite for [[benefits]] and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence;<Ref>Matthew 11:12 And from the days of [[John the Baptist]] until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. </Ref> and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,<Ref>[[Luke 16]]:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.</Ref> until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." <Ref>"But when a new generation arises and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become so accustomed to freedom and equality that they no longer value them, and begin to aim at pre-eminence; and it is chiefly those of ample fortune who fall into this error.
:So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the houses of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch" –Polybius: The Histories (composed at Rome around 130 BC)[https://factystaff.richmond.edu/~wstevens/FYStexts/Polybius6.pdf Fragments of Book VI], p289 </Ref>''</blockquote>

In 313 AD, Constantine and Licinius as co-emperors had joined together in ''“issuing the Edict of Milan, which granted toleration”'' for his version of Christianity under their binding authority. ''“As guardian of Constantine’s favored religion”'', certain churches and bishops were, ''“given legal rights and large financial donations.”''<Ref>Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia Vol. 7 p.149</Ref>

These ''“financial donations”'', funded by the spoils of war and compelled taxation, subjected the Churches who accepted them to the [[benefactors]] who exercise authority. Christians had been guaranteed their lawful rights by emperors before. Constantine did not free the church, but seduced a small portion of it into a ''“legal status”'' with the offering of ''“deceitful meats”'' and the ''"dainties"'' of his royal table.

A struggle for power soon began between the two commanders, from which Constantine emerged victorious. Constantine betrayed Licinius and had him and all his family put to death. He had thousands of people put to death in mass exterminations of any who opposed him.

<blockquote>'' “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” (Matthew 7:15-16)''</blockquote>

The more we study the detailed thorns of Constantine’s life and those ministers he and his successors appointed over men, the less convincing it is that the fruits of the Holy Spirit were in their questionable conversions. There were thousands upon thousands that suffered and toiled under their ''“exercising authority”'', with tens of thousands who died at their murderous, bloody hands. The testimony of their lives bears witness to the purity or impurity of their souls.

<blockquote>'' “Constantine intervened in ecclesiastical affairs to achieve unity; he presided over the first ecumenical council of the church at Nicaea in 325.”<Ref>Microsoft Encarta 97 </Ref>''</blockquote>

He claimed the office of ''Pontifex Maximus'' or High Priest, till he died. As the ruling High Priest, he had demanded that the bishops of the Church come to his council. There were over 1800 known bishops at that time and barely 300 came. He sat on a golden throne, claiming to be the ''“Bishop of Bishops”'', not a servant of servants, but as a dictator.

[[File:Flavius Salerus Constantinus.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Flavius Salerus Constantinus created the first major [[False religion]] posing as Christianity.]]

Of those who came, the historical record shows that, they were financially rewarded with the spoils of his imperial rule. Extravagant gifts of gold, silver, property, and privilege were bestowed on these collaborating bishops who accepted his rule from the top down. Those bishops who sanctioned his benevolence and title of ''“bishop of bishops”'' are difficult to justify. His gifts had been taken from fields of corpses and an overtaxed populations. If ever there was a sin of the Nicolaitan branded on the head of men, it was here at this council of hypocrisy. How could men justify this fundamental departure from the teachings of Christ by becoming the state Church of Constantine?

Fortunately, these men were a small minority. True Christian faith continued to thrive in those who remained in the liberty of Christ. Those who did not answer his call or questioned his assumed authority were sent packing or, in the years to follow, were labeled heretics and cast out of the graces of these despotic '‘bishops'’, or simply murdered as heretics.

In 381 A.D., the Council of Constantinople was convened by Theodosius I. Only 150 bishops attended condemning various religious groups that did not heed the call of the emperor. Theodosius was as much a tyrant, and more, a murder of thousands.

Several emperors had earlier guaranteed the protection of the Church. The idea that the Church was ''“legalized”'' may not be far from the truth, but what exactly does that mean? There was now an official Church of [[Rome]] established by men who found favor with the rulers of [[Rome]], but were they true Christians? Or were they taking the name of the Lord in vain?

The legalizing of the Christian church was more a legalizing of certain collaborative sects of churches who claimed to be [[Christians]] and were willing to turn a blind eye, or at least give a grateful wink, to the autocratic oppression by these manipulating chiefs of state in exchange for exemption, if not wealth and protection.

Christ would not appeal to [[Rome]] to save his life, but these men petitioned Constantine and his senate, not to save their own life, but to take the lives of others. Abraham would not take a buckle, but these men took lavish gifts of gold and silver. They seemed to be ''“the lovers of soft things”'' like the [[Essenes]] spoken of in the courts of [[Herod]].

These sects and governments have been able to control the writing of history throughout the ages. But, probably even more importantly, they promoted the compilation of the books we know today as the [[Bible]]. There is no clear record of how some writings were excluded and how others were chosen to be placed into what some referred as the ''canon''.

<blockquote>'' “The 27 books of the New Testament are only a fraction of the literary production of the Christian communities in the first three centuries.”<Ref>Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia Vol. 4 p.47 </Ref>''</blockquote>

When we see the phrase, ''"All scripture"''<Ref>[[2 Timothy 3]]:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:</Ref> in the [[Bible]] that did not mean the [[Bible]] because it did not yet exist. The fact is the word ''scripture'' was just the Greek word ''"graphs"'' which meant ''"writings"'' referring to ''"All writings"''. It is divine revelation by the Holy Spirit that ultimately reveals the truth<Ref>Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for [[flesh and blood]] hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.</Ref> and not the ''private interpretation''<Ref>[[2 Peter 1]]:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.</Ref> of the reader. [[Constantine]] hired [[Eusebius]] to produce the first 50 [[Bible]]s. Early Christians had a much different view of Jesus than many [[modern Christians]]. [[Constantine]] had brought in a huge faction of "Christians" who lacked true repentance and these new "Christians" occupied many of the councils we see forming after 300 A.D..

There is one thing clear from the historical record. Large numbers of Christian sects fled the judgment and persecution of the [[Church legally defined |legalized church]] and their allies of force, fear, and violence. This union of church and state was not one sanctioned by God, nor did it bear much resemblance to the ways preached, demonstrated, and taught by Jesus.

Their fornicating relationship was self-serving, proud, violent, and oppressive. From Augustus to Constantine, the emperors still held the title, if not the office of [[Apotheos|Apo Theos]], Originator of [[Gods|gods]].

There is little doubt that the men, who exclude so much from the compilation of the New and the Old Testaments, did so with less than noble purposes, if not evil intent. This is not to say that those writings are not now authentic or valid, but their relationship with the Roman state can only lead one to believe that there may have been self-serving exclusions. These were not the [[Apostles]] who made the final decision concerning [[Bible]] content or wrote the [[Creed of the Apostles]], but someone quite different. We can only assume that, what some men meant unto evil, the God of Heaven shall turn for good.

It was centuries before these apostates were able to crown rulers who began an aggressive policy of bloody ''“reform”''. With these new institutions, the beast rose again and brought about the inquisition, annihilation, and extinction of millions of people who were seeking God’s Kingdom in spirit and in truth. The [[Christian conflict|persecution of the early Christians]] by some emperors was nothing compared to the persecution of Christians and others that this unholy alliance of Church and State would eventually create.

'''Editor Notes: Work in progress more to come'''

If you choose to use any information from these web sites and pages it should be with the understanding that what works for one soul may not work for another. The factors to consider are that we are physical beings and are subject to our environments. We have different genetic make ups, soils in one area may contain trace minerals that another area doesn't, same types of food from different food sources can contain an ingredient that may help or cause further discomfort. Unnatural food additives can sometimes cause ill effects when combined with certain foods.
Though we are physical beings we also have spiritual aspects. Simple changes in our mental attitude can make big differences. More can be stated and addressed later.

Note: Many sites have search boxes that can make your information seeking easier and some sites may have changed or expired.

Mammon

2017-03-27T22:16:32Z

Claudevt: Sentence structure and minor punctuation

[[File:Mammon-The_worship_of.jpg|300px|left|thumb|[[Mammon]] meant systems of ''entrusted wealth'' which are ''unrighteous'' or ''righteous'' because they either depend on forced [[Taxation]] or [[Freewill offerings]] for their [[welfare]] like the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] or the [[Kingdom of God]]. The [[Christian conflict]] was between [[Public religion]] or [[Pure Religion]]. Because the People today were [[curse children|cursed as children]] by the [[covetous practices]] of their parents they need to [[repent]] and seek the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] before they can be free.]]
Pastor G asked: ''"When Jesus said: "Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations..."... did he mean that they, the apostles, were to receive offerings from the coin or currency in use...? or does it mean to accept alms like the Mendicant Orders...? "''

Yes, Jesus said be ''friends with the unrighteous Mammon''.

What is Mammon?

“Mammon, an Aramaic word ''mamon'' meaning ‘wealth’ … It is probably derived from Ma’amon, something entrusted to safe keeping. In any case there was apparently a threefold play on this meaning in Lk. xvi. II: ‘If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?’ the word italicized representing forms of the Semitic root word ‘men.”<Ref> Encyclopedia Britannica. also "There is no evidence that the word was the name of an a angel or a God, as in Milton (Par. Lost i. 678, cf. Spencer F.Q. II. vii “8)"</Ref>

Scholars do not agree about the etymology of the word.

Gregory of Nyssa also asserted that Mammon was another name for Beelzebub, which is another name for Satan which means the adversary. [[Christ]] makes mention that you cannot serve God and Mammon,<Ref>Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</Ref> which is referencing two different opposing ways or systems. Some say Mammon means riches but others say it is the wealth which you entrust. In truth it is both. It is entrusted wealth.

If Mammon is entrusted wealth, which usually means some sort of treasury, then a ''righteous'' or ''unrighteous'' mammon must refer to the way that wealth or the treasury is collected.

There is more than one word that is translated ''treasury'' in the New Testament. The most common is the word gazophulakion<Ref> 1049 ~γαζοφυλάκιον~ gazophulakion \@gad-zof-oo-lak’-ee-on\@ from 1047 and 5438; ; n n AV-treasury 5; 5 1) a repository of treasure, especially of public treasure, a treasury.</Ref>. It is composed of two words γάζα ''gaza'' treasure which was the "the royal treasury" and φυλακή ''phulake'' meaning guard, watch.

The other word translated treasury is κορβᾶν or ''korban''.<Ref> 2878 ~κορβᾶν~ korban \@kor-ban’\@ of Hebrew and Aramaic origin; n m AV-treasury 1, corban 1; 2 1) a gift offered (or to be offered) to God 2) the sacred treasury</Ref> [[Corban]] was around in most countries of the world and even in history. It was provided in two ways. [[Corban]] was a sacrifice or offering used to take care of the needs of the people of a society. It was part of systems of social [[welfare]] of which there have always been [[Welfare_types|two types]].

The reason some systems of ''entrusted wealth'' are considered ''unrighteous systems'' is because they depend on [[Benefactors]] who use force to provide for the welfare needs of the people, which [[John the Baptist]] and [[Jesus]] preached against. Until [[John the Baptist]] governments of the [[world]] were using force to collect the funds to provide for the [[welfare]] or [[Bread and circuses|free bread]] of the people. It was not always this way in places like [[Rome]], Judea and America. At one time they all depended upon [[Freewill offerings]] to provide for the needy of their society. When that departed from those [[Altars]] of [[faith]] and shifted to dependence on forced offerings they made the [[Corban|word of God to none effect]].

The reason we are to be '''''friends with the unrighteous system''''' is because most people are already [[Snare|snared]] as a part of those systems with ''duties and obligations'' within those systems. Those ''duties and obligations'' fulfill a [[Religion|religious]] purpose described as ''[[Allegiance and Faith|allegiance]]'' rather than [[faith]]. The [[Public religion]] of the [[world]] [[Employ|binds the people]] to service through a [[Corvee]] system and debt which is the result of [[sloth]], [[covet]]ousness and not keeping the principles of the [[Sabbath]].

People today are [[curse children|cursed as children]] with [[bondage]] because of the [[covetous practices]] of their parents who applied to the '''unrighteous mammon''' for [[benefits]] just like the Israelite people in [[Employ|Egypt]]. They cannot free themselves simply because they deny their entanglement in the [[elements]] of the [[world]] with that [[yoke]] of [[bondage]].

: Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his [[faith]].
: Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to [[faith]]: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
: Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by [[faith]].
: Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by [[faith]]: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

: '''“The [[world]] has always been betrayed not by scoundrels but by decent men with bad ideas.”''' Sidney Harris.

: ''“This (Federal Reserve) Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the president signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed. The trust will soon realize that they have gone too far even for their own good. The people must make a declaration of independence to relieve themselves from the Monetary Power.”'' <Ref>On the eve of the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, December 22, 1913 Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr..</Ref>

: ''"That most gigantic trust on earth was to be (and is now established) constructed in a very interesting way. It involved the entrusting of almost all the wealth, property, and rights of man, granted to him by God, into a world-wide trust. It was a process not limited to the money system, but it is that system that is focused on in these pages."'' From the Book [[COg|The Covenants of the gods]] Chapter [http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/gods/cog11movma.php Money vs Mammon]

The [[Christian conflict|conflict]] with Christ and some of the Jews in power certainly revolved around money and treasuries more than religious theologies.

Since most ''religions'' today categorize themselves by their theology and church doctrines, many people might not want to see the connection even though it is right in front of them.

Jesus mentions mammon four times in the Bible. Once in Matthew<Ref>[[Matthew 6]]:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</Ref> and three times in Luke.<Ref>Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</Ref>

In Matthew Chapter 6 Jesus started talking about giving alms to take care of the needy of society. This was an essential element of society and certainly a major part of the Gospel of Christ and a duty of the Church. It is one of the major defining characteristics of the meaning of religion, especially [[Religion|pure religion]].

He then talks about the prayers of the hypocrites. They pray in the Churches of that day and in the streets but he says if they pray to the Father in heaven they do not have to make a big demonstration of it and certainly not be a hypocrite about it pretending to pray to the Father in heaven when you really pray to the [[Father|fathers of the earth]] if you need anything like bread or aid.
[[File:cauldron.jpg|right|300px|thumb| This [[One purse#Civic Flesh pots|city is the caldron]] in which they are bound by oath and [[Allegiance and Faith|allegiance]] to be the ''flesh without [[faith]]'' [[Biting one another]] in an unrighteous system of [[Mammon]]. ]]

Jesus warns the people later in verse 20<Ref>Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:</Ref> that they should not put their trust in central treasuries where thieves and robbers can break in and steal those funds, and where somehow moths and rust can eat up the value thereof.

Jesus makes this reference to moths eating up your treasure three times which appears to be related to Isaiah 51:8<Ref>Isaiah 51:8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.</Ref> where he talks about those who get eaten up by the worm of the moth because they are not following the righteousness of God from generation to generation.

He sums up this criticism of centralizing stored wealth in a treasury when he says in Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." This is what the people did when they put their wealth in a [[Golden calf]].

{{#ev:youtube|ItXBTi6bq4U|300|right|Nimrod to Now Series: Part 2: Golden Calf ~5 min}}
Building golden monuments was a common way of establishing a central bank for a city-state and binding the people together for common defense. If all the wealth of the people was in a central depository this ''forced'' the people to trade amongst themselves and gave them a reason to stay and defend others of their community.

{{#ev:youtube|UG5sp5bCpSc|300|right|'''Mammon''', NN Video Series:3-10 4:22}}
Jesus was just talking about the lord commending the "unjust steward" for forgiving those who could not pay what they owed.

The IRS who collects for the unrighteous mammon of today are not like the "unjust steward". They do not forgive debt.

The people were bound like they were in Egypt and like they are today.

The Pharaoh does not want to let the people go.

But though many want to think so they should not just rebel and denounce their obligations.

What Jesus is saying is the same as what he said about paying Caesar what is Caesar's. Don't be a rebel.

Jesus knew that the unrighteous mammon, which is the entrusted wealth of the people in system of [Corban], would fail. It always does.

He knew that ministers were excluded if they met certain criteria.

He knew there would come a time when the people could opt out but only the righteous would bear fruit and show the Christ character needed in a truly volunteer society.

Many people just want out but are stingy about setting the table of the Lord.

Remember there is no division of funds in the US treasury and most other [[world]] system treasuries.

[[Not so Secure Socialism|Social Security and the general fund are one.]]

They are the entrusted wealth. They are [[Mammon]] and because they are collected by force they are unrighteous.

That force is legal because the people consented when they signed up but that [[consent]] was the result of a desire to have [[One purse]] and gain [[benefits]] from your consent, often at the expense of your neighbor. By nature of that [[consent]] there is an [[Elements|element]] of [[covet]]ousness.

Fed notes are not wealth although they played a part in creating debt.

The issuing of those notes is the biggest violation of the [[Sabbath]].

They were saying we will take our rest now and pay you later.
J. Wellington Wimpy was soft-spoken, very intelligent, and well educated, but also cowardly, very lazy, overly parsimonious and utterly gluttonous man who was famous for saying, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Which is the ultimate [[Sabbath]] breaker.

There are no Wimpys in the [[Kingdom of God]].

Being friends with the unrighteous [[Mammon]] is just like [[Moses]] who had the people pay their ''tale of bricks''. But they both told the people to love one another and care for one another through the famines.

We are suppose to be building the alternative system based on [[charity]].
We can start now or wait to the last minute.

Also note that the Greek word ''"skene"'' translated "habitation" appears in the Bible 20 times but this is the only place it is translated ''habitation''. Normally it is translated ''tabernacle''. The tabernacle was always a place of worship but [[worship]] is not what people commonly think.

God is not so insecure that he needs our praise.... Most of what is posing as praising God is done by people who are workers of iniquity.

: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendicant_orders Mendicant orders] are religious orders which depend directly on charity for their livelihood. Christian mendicant orders, in principle, do not own property, either individually or collectively (see corporate poverty), believing that they are thereby copying the way of life followed by Jesus, and able to spend all their time and energy on religious work. The mendicant orders are marked by two characteristics: poverty, practiced in common; and a way of life that combines praying together in community with the work of the public ministry of the Church.

[[Mendicant]] orders own nothing at all.

The early Church owned all things in common. It is clear they, the ministers of the Church, owned property but not as a personal estate. There were numerous suits in the mid to late 200s AD to get Church land back that was illegally taken.

The Church, like the [[Levites]], needed land to do their job and take care of their own.

The Church was made up of the trustees of the righteous mammon based on faith, hope and charity.

Since Social Security is the means by which society takes care of their widows and orphans it is religious in nature. It is [[Public religion]].

It is spotted by the [[world]] and it is not forgiving if you owe it money. It is not like the [[Pure Religion]] of Christ.

In fact everyone with a social security number is a member of a religious order under a [[Vow of poverty]]. But in their order men exercise authority one over the other.

While the Church ministers are dependent upon charity they can also earn a living. The ordained ministers who are members of orders must do so without a Social Security number. This is explained in [[FCR|The Free Church Report]].

Anarcho communism

2017-03-21T13:09:27Z

Claudevt:

Anarcho communism is an oxymoron:
: "Anarchist communism (also known as anarcho-communism, free communism, libertarian communism, and communist anarchism) is a theory of anarchism which advocates the abolition of the state, [[capitalism]], wage labour, and private property (while retaining respect for personal property), and in favor of common ownership of the means of production, direct democracy, and a horizontal network of voluntary associations and workers' councils with production and consumption based on the guiding principle: "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need". [[Matthew 6]]:1 "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven."<Ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_communism</Ref>

According to this definition it wants to "abolition of the state, [[capitalism]], wage labour, and private property", which will require violence, and then it sets up a "direct democracy" which will allow the majority to rule over the minority, which is an ongoing violence. The number of men who want to take away your labor for their own purpose does not justify forcing your neighbor to serve others.<Re>[[Matthew 6]]:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. : Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
: [[Luke 12]]:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
: [[Mark 7]]:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.</Ref>

Any type of "common ownership" will only work with saints, and you cannot be a saint without the liberty of choice given to your neighbor. That only comes within capitalism. [[Capitalism]] only works where there is general morally accepted prohibition against any [[covetous practices]]. I know of no place where they practice true [[capitalism]]. Before the world will change for the good, men have to [[daily ministration|daily]] [[strive]] for and [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]]. If they were doing that, they would be abolishing the need for the state, and the state would become superfluous.

The [[Anarcho communism|Anarcho communist]] view that the majority should take "from each according to his ability" and give "to each according to his need" is contrary to the biblical principles of Isaiah<Ref>[[Isaiah 65]]:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.</Ref> and Thessalonians <Ref>[[2 Thessalonians 3]]:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
: [[2 Thessalonians 3]]:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.</Ref>

Those people who seek to ''take from each according to their ability'' are not only [[covet]]ing their neighbor's labor, but they are robbing the liberty of [[charitable practices]] from their neighbor. They are [[workers of iniquity]],<Ref>[[Psalms 141]]:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.</Ref>

In the [[kingdom of God]], ''every man is returned to his family and to his possessions''<Ref>[[Leviticus 25]]:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. </Ref>, and the people [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]] according to the [[perfect law of liberty]].

[[Was Jesus a socialist|Jesus was not]] a [[socialist]], but he did preach [[Church legally defined|one form]] of [[government]] where men did not rule one over the other, like ''the [[fathers]] of the earth'' and the [[benefactors]] of the world, whether they were one man or a majority.

You cannot advocate [[communism]] and be a [[Christian]]. But you do not have to be a communist to have community.

A [[Communism|communist]] believes that there is a right of the state or, in the case of [[Anarcho communism]], the community, to take that which is produced by the more productive individual and give it to the individual who has less.

Since [[Christ]] said that if you love him then you would keep his commandments, however if we desire to take what others have from them it is by nature, [[covet]]ing. There is no honest way to claim we are followers or [[believer]]s in Jesus Christ while we are doing the opposite of what he said to do.

Jesus said to ''love one another'' in John 13:35<Ref>John 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have [[love]] one to another.</Ref> and that word [[love]] is translated [[charity]] more than 27 times.

The [[early Church]] practiced [[Pure Religion]] unspotted by the forced [[welfare]] systems of the [[world]]. This was the [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]]. However the [[Modern Christian]] is in conflict with the decrees of Christ and in conformity to the [[world]] of [[Rome]]. They call themselves Christians but since they are not [[doers]] of the word we know they are [[workers of iniquity]].

Stoning

Claudevt: /* Living Stones? */

[[File:stoning.jpg|right|250px|thumb| [[Moses]] and [[Jesus]] were in agreement but the [[Pharisees]] had it wrong.]]
==Living Stones?==

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

If they were living stones what did it mean to stone someone at the gates or against a wall in the city?

<blockquote>'''"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."'''<ref>From [[Clay and Stone|Section 2 of Chapter 3]] ''Moses and the Altars of [[Clay and Stone]]'' of the book [[TKC|Thy Kingdom Comes]]</ref></blockquote>

Taking someone to court before a “council” of men or [[Jury|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]]"''.<Ref>Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.</Ref>

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]] someone was originally a metaphor in a society that would not allow or support people who undermined [[Social Virtues|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 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 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|welfare]] system of God.

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. Since their [[Corban|offerings]] to the [[Levites]] who performed the religious duties of society were [[freewill offerings]] the people individually held the [[One purse|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 [[CCC|Contracts, Covenants or Constitutions]] but by mutual love<Ref>Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
 Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
 Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
 Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:</Ref> and aid but when they decided to ''reject'' God in [[1 Samuel 8]] and elect a leader who could [[Exercises authority|exercise authority]] one over the other and then the society began to seek ways to justify [[biting one another]].

[[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'' and ''giving drink to the enemy'' were all a part of the Old Testament.

Israel took care of the needy through the [[freewill offerings]] of [[Corban]] without the [[Covetous Practices]] of the modern [[Benefactors]] of the [[Roots of the Welfare State|welfare state]] which has been a [[snare]] that has [[Curse children|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|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]].
[[File:stoningsteve.jpg|right|thumb|[[Socialist]]s hate [[Social Virtues|virtue]] which reveals their [[sloth]] and [[covet]]ousness.]]
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 of Rome|imperial cult]].

Asleep

2017-03-08T20:13:35Z

Claudevt:

[[Image:sleep.jpg|275px|right|thumb|'''[[Asleep]] in the pew''' in every [[denominations|denomination]].]] People are being put to sleep by a thousand doctrines which have little to do with what Christ told us to do and not to do.

The [[Gospel of the kingdom]] is very straight forward and the truth about that gospel is easy to understand if we only have ears to hear and eyes to see.

* "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the [[kingdom of God]] is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." [[Mark 1]]:15

"The time is fulfilled, and the [[kingdom of God]] is at hand:" is the Gospel, the good news.

That good news and the kingdom [[appoint]]ed to the [[apostles]] was not just for the Jews but also for the other nations who would [[seek]] it and the ''righteousness'' of God;

* "And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe." [[Acts 15]]:7

Seeking the [[kingdom of God]] and the [[righteousness]] of God would provide everything for the people so that they did not have to pray nor apply to ''"the [[Fathers]] of the earth"'' and ''"the nations of the world"''.<Ref>[[Luke 12]]:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.</Ref>

* "But rather [[seek]] ye the [[kingdom of God]]; and all these things shall be added unto you." [[Luke 12]]:31

But the [[Modern Christian]] is blinded by the teachings of the [[modern Church]] because they do not practice the [[charity]] and [[love]] of [[Pure Religion]]. [[Religion]] has become what you "think" you believe rather than the [[faith]] that compels your actions.

* "In whom the [[gods|god]] of this [[world]] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." [[2 Corinthians 4]]:4

The [[Early Church]] was not ''of the [[world]]'' nor did they seek the [[benefits]] ''of the [[world]]''. They often suffered [[persecution]] in the [[Christian conflict]] with other governments and even death rather than apply for the [[benefits]] ''of the [[world]]''.

But the [[Modern Christian]] seeking the emotional comfort of self-righteous justification and the entertaining distractions provided by the watered down gospels of the [[Modern Church]] remain complacent in their [[strong delusion]]s.

But then there are those who see the [[snare]] of the [[benefits]] offered by the [[world]] and say they do not want them, counting themselves separate. They think they are [[Exiting Babylon]] or have [[come out]] by avoiding [[benefits]] or even [[taxation]] of the world but they have no [[daily ministration]], no [[appoint]]ed ministers like the [[early Church]] and simply do not gather in the [[name]] of God.

They make excuses through their ''private interpretation'' of the [[doctrine of Jesus]] so they do not make [[freewill offerings]], [[tithe]] nor [[sacrifice]] according to the [[charitable practices]] of [[love]] and [[charity]] spoken of by [[Jesus]] and His [[appoint]]ed [[apostles]].

God is the same today and so is His plan for us. Unfortunately many mistake emotion for spiritual truth. They put on an appearance of righteousness like the [[Pharisees]]. Many have it wrong and remain workers of iniquity by application and [[wantonness]] or by [[sloth]] and non participation. The purpose of the Church and the gospel of the kingdom is not to make you feel good but do good and seek righteousness.

The [[Modern Church]] and the [[Modern Christian]] and the modern separatists are in [[Apostasy]]

Greetings and welcome to His Church at Skytop Mountain. We are currently serving the families in the Mid-Hudson Valley's Catskill Mountain Region of New York as well as areas in the states of New Jersey, Vermont and surrounding areas. We also look to provide service to our distant Elder's, their families, and His Living Network of Families who love the Father with all their hearts, minds, souls and strength, and who love their neighbors as much or more than they love themselves.

His Church at Skytop Mountain freely chooses to walk with other families, free assemblies, His Churches in His Living Network and is an auxiliary of His Holy Church, which is made up of Orders of called-out, full-time Levites, Apostles or Ordained Ministers under vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and faith. His Holy Church, which was re-established in 33 A.D. by Yahushua ha Mashiach, a.k.a. Jesus the Christ, when He took the Kingdom away from those not bearing good fruit and not doing the Will of the Father and gave the Kingdom to "His little flock". His Church at Skytop Mountain is a Kingdom government office of service and trust, licensed by the families in free assembly, acting "ex-officio" and recognized by The Living Stones of the Christ, an Order of His Holy Church at White Rock.

We are currently a free assembly or congregation of families who, due to the distance between us, gather on a conference call weekly when we can. We check on the needs of the local congregations as well as coordinate with other His Churches across the world. The performance of our "liturgy", i.e. "public service" is to help each other, other congregations or free assemblies seeking the Kingdom of God, plus the strangers and foreigners sojourning with us. We also gather when we are able to potluck, break bread and fellowship together. We like to talk about the Scriptures and other materials, such as the His Holy Church books. Sometimes we watch edifying DVDs or we just spend time together talking, laughing and sharing.

If you are ever traveling through the northeast, please consider contacting us for when and where we might be gathering on your way through, and maybe you can join us. If you are going to be passing through the northeast, please consider contacting our fellowship. We may be able to meet for a meal or just a cup of coffee and conversation.
HHC also provides a mobile ministry that could be traveling to your area also. Just let us know.

Minister of Record for His Church Skytop Mountain:

Claude lives on the land in southern Vermont with his wife Dianne. Since an early age, he has been studying the Scriptures, law and natural health. He has learned enough to know there is a lot more to learn about life and how to live it, especially in the way our Creator intended [not just making a living].

Claudevt: /* Meant to be Priest to All Nations */

[[File:Jesusfeeds.jpg|right|300px|thumb|John the [[Baptism|Baptist]] and [[Jesus]] and the early [[Church]] advocated a [[Daily ministration]] that was dependent on [[Charity]] only and it was not like the system of [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and [[Rome]]. There are different [[Welfare types]] in the [[world]]. One is [[socialist]] with [[covetous practices]], "[[Public religion|public]]" and the other, "[[Private welfare|private]]" based on the [[Perfect law of liberty]].]]

== Welfare Defined ==

If you look up the word ''[[welfare]]'' you will find a definition like "the health, happiness, and fortunes of a person or group."

So the pursuit of your private welfare is at least the "pursuit of happiness"<Ref>The phrase was coined by Jefferson who altered Locke's phrase "life, liberty, and estate" found in his "Two Treatises of Government " where the term had more of the Latin meaning of status or "state, condition" of the individual.</Ref> which has been linked with the pursuit of life and liberty.<Ref>"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase said to be in the United States Declaration of Independence. The Declaration was not about the "United States" but individuals living in American Republics called States who were trying to become united and dissolve the bands which made them subject to the whim of the English king. . There was no "United States" for quite some time.</Ref>

''[[Welfare]]'' is also defined as the "statutory procedure or social effort designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in need." The term is also defined as the "financial support given to people in need."

If [[Religion]] used to be defined as how you ''perform your duty to God and your fellowman'' And God has commanded us to ''love our neighbor as our self'' then welfare systems are ''religious systems'' all though there are [[Welfare types|more than one type of welfare]]. It is a matter of history that the major conflict between the Roman government and the Christian religion came when Rome [[Christian conflict|outlawed Private Religion]] which was merely outlawing [[Private welfare|private welfare]].

: '''"At that institution I got my first taste of what it meant to live a life of unselfishness, my first knowledge of the fact that the happiest individuals are those who do the most to make others useful and happy."''' ''Up from Slavery'', the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington.

== The Strong Delusions Revealed ==

Someone on Facebook wrote concerning our articles on [[Corban]]:
'': "I disproved your "corban" teaching using actual Jewish records (showing that Corban is not, nor has it ever been a welfare program - it was funds used exclusively for temple upkeep and public city construction - but NEVER for private welfare)."''

This particular individual - like so many others - is delusional. He is a victim of [[False religion]] and his own pride. He actually did not disprove the meaning or purpose of our teachings on "[[Corban]]" at all. He did quote the Talmud. Everyone who knows Christ and the Bible knows that many of the Jews had it wrong because evil will creep in and deceive whole nations if we are not diligent in seeking the [[Kingdom of God]] and His righteousness. Christ was clear on that subject.<Ref>
: Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
: John 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.</Ref> Many Jewish scholars did not have eyes to see the message of Christ back then because they did not know God in their hearts and in their minds. They thought they did. They said they did. They read Greek and Hebrew and studied the Torah but they could not see or hear the truth. The same is true today for [[Modern Christians]] and Jews and many of the religious of the world.

So what is the truth and can you, or will you be able to hear and see it?

The idea that [[Corban]] was not a part of the social welfare of Judea and certainly ancient Israel is clearly and blatantly false. From the beginning it was written:

: "For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." [[Deuteronomy 15]]:11
: "Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child." [[Exodus 22]]:22 <Ref>[[Exodus 22]]:23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.</Ref>

It has always been a function of society to take care of the needy and the way you do it defines society. The ''widow and fatherless child'' come into need where the family has broken down and aid must come from society in general. In any large society this requires a network of specialized ministers and a flow of resources and aid from the people to provide assistance in a timely way. In almost every ancient society this role was fulfilled by their [[Religion|religion]].
[[File:heartblackwater.jpg|300px|right|thumb|The Black and Backwards Heart of [[False religion]] is a product of the Blind guides of [[Modern Christians]]. It has painted a distorted view of the gospel through sophistry and deletion but it is the pride that binds the mind and the selfish heart that keeps the soul in the shadows of its own deceit. People of the [[World|world]] are not as deceived as much by their leaders as they are self deceived.]]
The first century [[Church]] did just that with its [[Daily ministration]] just like ancient Israel did with its daily and annual sacrifices. This in truth has always been the purpose of what we have come to know as [[Altars]]. It is when men reject God in our hearts and our minds that evil will take God's place and through Sophistry we will alter the course of our society and its nature. We will eventually elect men who can exercise authority like Israel did in [[1 Samuel 8]]. That is where society begins to really break down.

Moses was adamant about caring for the needy and provided a way to do this by love and charity. <Ref>[[Deuteronomy 10]]:17 For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: 18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. 19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.</Ref>

== 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 who know the LORD should know that God wants you to care for the needy through love (charity), and there is no love without choice. The right to choose is the liberty endowed by God. God's [[The Way|"way"]] has always been by [[Freewill offerings]] through a network of national servants like the [[Levites]] in the days of Moses<Ref>

</Ref>

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.<Ref>: [[Deuteronomy 14]]:27 And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the [[Tithe|tithe]] of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. [the following verses talk of the seven year release]
: [[Deuteronomy 16]]:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give [unto the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.</Ref>

The [[Tithe|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|tithe]] money, when necessary."<Ref>http://www.bible.org.nz/should-we-pay-tithes/</Ref>

In effect they were tending to the [[Weightier matters]], including judicial and legal appeals, as well as [[Health|health]], [[Education|education]] and [[Welfare|welfare]].

People debate whether or not we should [[Tithe|tithe]] in the New Testament Church. If you do not [[Tithe|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;<Ref>[[Numbers 18]]:20 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. 21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’S heave offering to Aaron the priest.
29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
</Ref> according to [[Deuteronomy 14]]:28-29<Ref>[[Deuteronomy 14]]:28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy gates: 29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
</Ref> and 26:12-15<Ref>[[Deuteronomy 26]]:12 ¶ When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast given [it] unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

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 <Ref>Luke 19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.</Ref> and spread the message of righteousness and the [[Perfect law of liberty]].

== The Iniquitous Works of the World ==

The battle between these two ideas of charity vs. forced offerings has been at the core of the Christian conflict with the governments of the [[World|world]]. But it is not always the governments that become angry but the people as well. The Corban of the Pharisees were stored in a central treasury and were considered sacred. A selfish people will guard that treasury with the same selfish anger that created it.

When the funds were used by Pilate to finish an aqueduct in Jerusalem to bring water to the whole city, the people rioted in complaint.

: "On a later occasion he provoked a fresh uproar by expending upon the construction of an aqueduct the sacred treasure known as Corbonas; the water was brought from a distance of seventy kilometers. Indignant at this proceeding, the populace formed a ring round the tribunal of Pilate, then on a visit to Jerusalem, and besieged him with angry clamor.
: He, foreseeing the tumult, had interspersed among the crowd a troop of his soldiers, armed but disguised in civilian dress, with orders not to use their swords, but to beat any rioters with cudgels. He now from his tribunal gave the agreed signal.
: Large numbers of the Jews perished, some from the blows which they received, others trodden to death by their companions in the ensuing flight. Cowed by the fate of the victims, the multitude was reduced to silence." <Ref>Flavius Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 18.60-62</Ref>

The deaths were not the intent of Pilate but they would haunt him in the days to come.<Ref>: Luke 13:1 ¶ There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.</Ref> He knew that the [[Corban]] was for the welfare of the people. That was common knowledge in Rome and Judea and most of the city states who had all built [[Temples]] for the same purpose. He felt the use of those sacred welfare funds, which were used in service of the temple to the people, was worthy of their use.

The temple of God was always to be a living temple, and the sacred funds of the temple were to minister to real living people.<Ref>Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.</Ref> The spirit of God was to dwell in living flesh not dead stone buildings and his Nation was wherever his people placed their foot.<Ref>Joshua 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.</Ref>

We see another account of the same event, but the key is that the people felt they were being robbed of funds that should support them more directly as they had been in the past.
: "He spent money from the sacred treasury in the construction of an aqueduct to bring water into Jerusalem, intercepting the source of the stream at a distance of thirty-five kilometers. The Jews did not acquiesce in the operations that this involved; and tens of thousands of men assembled and cried out against him, bidding him relinquish his promotion of such designs. Some too even hurled insults and abuse of the sort that a throng will commonly engage in."
: "He thereupon ordered a large number of soldiers to be dressed in Jewish garments, under which they carried clubs, and he sent them off this way and that, thus surrounding the Jews, whom he ordered to withdraw. When the Jews were in full torrent of abuse he gave his soldiers the prearranged signal."
: "They, however, inflicted much harder blows than Pilate had ordered, punishing alike both those who were rioting and those who were not. But the Jews showed no faint-heartedness; and so, caught unarmed, as they were, by men delivering a prepared attack, many of them actually were slain on the spot, while some withdrew disabled by blows. Thus ended the uprising."<Ref>Flavius Josephus, The Jewish War 2.175-177</Ref>

Most Jews loved the [[Socialism]] of Herod and Caesar, just like [[Modern Christians]] who do not live by faith but are under a strong delusion and actually workers of iniquity. Almost none of them practice [[Pure Religion]]. They love their welfare from free education to healthcare and social security.

: “The annual Temple-tribute was allowed to be transported to Jerusalem, and the alienation of these funds by the civil magistrates treated as sacrilege. As the Jews objected to bear arms, or march, on the Sabbath, they were freed from military service. On similar grounds, they were not obliged to appear in courts of law on their holy days. Augustus even ordered that, when the public distribution of corn or of money among the citizens fell on a Sabbath, the Jews were to receive their share on the following day. In a similar spirit the Roman authorities confirmed a decree by which the founder of Antioch, Seleucus I. (Nicator),[d Ob.280 B.C.] had granted the Jews the right of citizenship in all the cities of Asia Minor and Syria which he had built, and the privilege of receiving, instead of the oil that was distributed, which their religion forbade them to use, [e Ab. Sar ii. 6] an equivalent in money. [Jos.Ant. xii. 3. 1] These rights were maintained by Vespasian and Titus even after the last Jewish war, not with standing the earnest remonstrances of these cities. No wonder, that at the death of Caesar the Jews of Rome gathered for many nights, waking strange feelings of awe in the city, as they chanted in mournful melodies their Psalms around the pyre on which the body of their benefactor had been burnt, and raised their pathetic dirges.” Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah Chapt. V

Some imagine that it was a temple tax only, but from the beginning Israel was a network of [[Altars]] that provided for the needs of the people in some form of social welfare. That is what [[Religion]] meant and Moses said to love thy neighbor as thyself. Your neighbor was a part of the social network of Israel because he contributed to it regularly with [[Freewill offerings]] which was his sacrifice on living [[Altars]] composed of Levites who owned all things in common.

They had the [[reins]] of control over the sacrifices of the people and could eat of the sacrifices of the people, but they had no personal estate. They held land in common with what might be called a [[Legal title]] with all other recognized Levites. Their inheritance was not a private estate, because they belonged to God. Their inheritance was the [[Kingdom of God]] in service to the people and the tabernacles or tents of the congregations.

Even the Talmud, which is often full of the apostasies of Judaism gone astray, mentions this in the Mishna.

: "The treasury Flavius Josephus describes as Corbonas is known from Jewish sources as Qorban, and Jewish law permitted the use of money from this treasures for social welfare and public works (Mishna Šeqalim 4.2)." <Ref>http://www.livius.org/pi-pm/pilate/pilate05.html ''Pontius Pilate'' article by Jona Lendering</Ref>

" "Sanctified moneys or contributions for the poor are not dealt with for profit." <Ref>So said R. Ishmael. R. Aqiba, [https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Talmud/shekalim4.html Mishna Šeqalim 4.2]</Ref>

== Making the word of God to None effect ==

Many Christian scholars do not agree on what Christ meant and said about many things. [[Faith]] is a gift. Understanding the gospel is a gift. It is clear that many do not have eyes to see nor ears to see the true gospel.

http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/corban.php

How did the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] make the word of God to none effect?

It was no longer by a [[Freewill offerings|Freewill offering]] or [[Charity]] to the National [[Network]]ing minister of your choice according to the [[Perfect law of liberty]]. The right to choose what to give and how much to give and to whom to give was no longer yours but belonged to the [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority one over the other and the [[Fathers]] of the earth with whom you make agreements so you can get benefits and rewards at the expense of your neighbor.

Judea like modern Christianity was in apostasy. Like many [[Modern Christians]] they want to think it is okay to covet their neighbor's goods and force them to contribute as long as it is done through the governments they elect, those [[Benefactors]] of force.

[[Modern Christians]] do not want to live by charity but by forcing their neighbor to contribute to their benefit. That has always been coveting and Moses and Jesus, and John and Paul preached against that but [[Modern Christians]] cannot see it.

Some would like to claim that [[Corban]] was "NEVER for private welfare". The [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] was [[Public religion|Public welfare]].

For the record, which is easily viewed, we preach that people should live by faith, hope and charity. They should take care of the needy of their society by [[Freewill offerings]] in [[Pure Religion]] like James said. We preach what Jesus said when he told us in Luke 22:25 that we were not to be like the governments of the world that call themselves [[Benefactors]] but exercise authority one over the other. That is what Jesus clearly said and John and all the apostles said and did.

We have never ever preached against the governments of the [[World]]. We know they are needed to keep the wicked and greedy covetous people in line and of course the "false accusers" who do not have Christ in them nor eyes to see nor ears to hear His simple message of real love. Such love is not the impotent fruitless love many feel in modern churches, nor is it the love [[Pharisees]] practiced.

This is the major point of John the Baptist who called for people to confess and repent and to start to take care of one another's needs through charity when they received his [[Baptism]]. But if they depended upon the temple and the forced offerings of the people in Herod's social welfare scheme, they did less for their own parents and sometimes little to nothing.

Even the blind man's parents feared being cast out of that social welfare system if they proclaimed Jesus was the Christ, the anointed king of Judea.<Ref>[[John 9]]:22 These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.</Ref>

This was the major [[Christian conflict]] between the two [[Welfare types]].

200 years ago, almost all social welfare was provided by churches. Today, most people go to governments of the world to obtain the benefits they desire, from free education to health care. The modern social security systems of the world depend on the sacrifices of the people to provide for their "needy" and elderly, including their own parents. Israel and many nations had such systems. Judea called it [[Corban]] and Rome called it Qorban and Muslims call it Korban.

They are all systems that require the sacrifice of the people. The difference between a godly or free nation and the ones that make the word of God to none effect is that in a free nation, that sacrifice is by [[Freewill offerings]] or what Jesus called love and Paul called [[Charity|charity]].

We at [[His Church]] teach that if you owe the tax, pay the tax just like Jesus, Peter and Paul said, but we also teach that if you need help or assistance, you should obtain it by the freewill offerings of your neighbor through congregations bound by love, not by force. You should not apply or pray to those [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority one over the other, nor the [[Fathers]] of the earth, like false Christians do.

Since it has always been the obligation and duty of man to take care of the needy, there must be a manner in which that is done in any godly society. That is what [[Religion]] used to mean. And [[Pure Religion]] is taking care of the needy, unspotted by the [[World]].

The apostles were appointed a government, and the [[Church legally defined|Church is defined]] still today as ''one form of government''. We at [[His Church]] seek to live in the [[World]] but not of it. We know there is another way to provide for one another, which the Modern Church has strayed from.

Christ preached a kingdom and He appointed it to His little flock and they provided for the people in charity.

: "Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus." Acts 17:7

== Private Liberty, Private Responsibility ==

[[Private welfare]] is '''Private religion''' because [[Religion|religion]] was ''how you preformed your duty to your fellow man''. [[Public religion]] was of the [[World|world]] and generally dependent upon compelled offerings called taxes. This private Religion of Christianity was at the root of the [[Christian conflict]] because real Christians would not covet their neighbor's goods or any thing that was their neighbor's especially through men who called themselves [[Benefactors]] but exercised authority because Jesus said it was not to be that way with us.

That would be [[Covetous Practices]]. (http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Covetous_Practices)

Many would like to claim that "our interpretation of "exousia" is completely in error, that ''exousia'' does NOT mean "liberty," but "authority"...". When they say this they show that they choose not to see truth. They think they know already so their sin remains.<Ref>[[John 9]]:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.</Ref>

The Greek word ''exousia'' is translated "liberty" in the Bible and also ''"right"'' because it means the "right to choose". In Plato's notes, the "Greek words for freedom (are) eleutheros (liberal/Free), exousia (Freedom/Power to do something), ..." In Bryn Mawr's Classical Review, the word exousia is said to express “the new concept of freedom, in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria." Even the Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms states that exousia means "right". Aristotle actually exemplifies exousia's use in the statement, "The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes..." There are quotes saying the same thing concerning both classical and Koine Greek but our accusers do not want to see the truth. We cover this in our articles and our [[THL|book]] on [[Romans 13]].

We are endowed by our Creator with the right to choose but when we make contracts and agreements with [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority we give up our right to choose. That is a major theme of the Old and New Testaments from the [[Ten Commandments]] to the choice of Saul as king in [[1 Samuel 8]] where God said the people ''have already rejected me''.

Many [[Modern Christians]] actually reject God everyday though they profess Him with their lips. That is why they are forever studying but never coming to a knowledge of the truth. <Ref>2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.</Ref>

They give their ''power to choose'' for themselves to the Sauls and [[Nimrod]]s of the [[World]] in order to feel safe and get benefits of those so called [[Benefactors]] and then complain about the fact that those [[Fathers]] of the earth take and take and take.

== What if Christian leaders go the wrong way==

Someone else commented that "[[Romans 13]] is talking about christian leaders....." But Christ was king of a government that operated by [[Freewill offerings|freewill offerings]] just like early Israel not like the temple tax imposed by men like Herod and the [[Pharisees]].

[[Christ]] said he would take the kingdom away from the [[Pharisees]] who were not bearing fruit and give it to His "little flock", which he did. When he appointed that kingdom to what we call the [[Church]] they were not to provide for the needy by force like the gentile governments but by charity and love.

Again 200 years ago the Church did that but now most Christians get 90% of their welfare from those [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority. The [[Welfare|welfare]] of the modern state includes every free benefit from public education to healthcare or even care for their own parents. The [[Modern Christians]] like the [[Pharisees]] who had no king but Caesar pray to the state for their [[Daily bread|daily bread]] and security, not to the God of heaven. They do not live in the [[World|world]] by love but are a part of the [[World|world]]. So how can they say they are following Christ?

They are not following Christ nor doing what His word said. Their churches are designed to make them feel good about disobeying Christ and coveting their neighbor's goods through those other governments. Yes most of these [[Modern Christians|Modern Christian]] ministers do not exercise authority but then they do not provide a [[Daily ministration]] by faith, hope and charity and the "[[Perfect law of liberty]]" like the early [[Church]].

He went on to say "I wouldn't mind overthrowing the Gov't ..... by Grace (Changing Hearts).....we could do it if we appoint Christian into office. Unfortunately it seems when they get into office or on these news talk shows they lose all remembrance of scripture."

Christians did not try to elect new Roman governors because they were the ones who were "... saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus." Acts 17:7

Thousands of Jews accepted Christ as king at [[Pentecost]] and began taking care of one another using the charity of [[Pure Religion]].

In every country the officers people would elect would be those men who would exercise authority one over the other. These leaders would become corrupted by that power given them, just like Saul.

What we need is real Christians practicing [[Pure Religion]], but He was right, that would take a ''change of heart'' called repentance.

Christian leaders have to be real Christians. If they were they would come in the name of the real Christ preaching His Gospel and feeding His Sheep. They would not depend on the [[Benefactors]] of the world and would seek to aid and serve the people so that they would not depend on such unrighteous [[Mammon]] nor the [[Temples]] of unbelievers.

It is not real Christians who force their neighbors to contribute to their welfare but the false Christians who work iniquity. They complain about their government but take from their table knowing full well they bite their neighbor and therefore are devoured in their own iniquity. The [[Modern Christians|Modern Christian]] does not provide a [[Daily ministration]], the [[Daily bread]] for the needy of the Churches they establish. Instead they are willing to covet their neighbors' goods through their elected [[Benefactors]] who help them take a ''[[One_purse#Bite_one_another|bite out of one another]]''.<Ref>Galatians 5 tells us 13 "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." </Ref>

: "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Galatians 5:15

People have followed this [[Socialism|covetous socialist]] path in education, the care of their widows, orphans and elderly for almost a century and continue to follow the ways of [[Nimrod]] and Babylon while pretending to love and even claiming to come in the name of Jesus.

It should be no surprise that they have become [[Merchandise]], surety for debt and curse their children in every nation with perpetual debt as foretold by Peter and the prophets. God warned all that if you choose to have rulers who can exercise authority over you that when it became to much for you that he would not hear you in that day. Christians need to actually repent but your preachers are not telling you what you need to repent from which is your [[Covetous Practices]] and selfish ways.

: Matthew 23:24 [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

From the beginning until [[Baptism|John the Baptist]] people tried to create a utopia kingdom by forcing contributions of the People. Jon Jesus and the apostles of the early church were a system of private welfare that provided a [[Daily ministration]] in [[Pure Religion]] through charity alone, unspotted by the force of the [[World|world]].

: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

: 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

: 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
