Communion

The Passover was a symbol of the sharing that is required in a daily ministration of freewill offerings which was taught by John the Baptist and Christ. It was a reminder of the welfare system not based on forced offerings by benefactors who exercise authority like Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Herod, or FDR but the Daily bread of Charity essential for a free society. The Eucharist of Christ was not a crumb or wafer we see among modern Christians but the essential practice of Pure Religion through a Communion of charity and fellowship. That fellowship and correlative "union and discipline" grew by way a daily ministration of love as explained by Justin the Martyr in his apology of Christianity to the Emperor of Rome.
And the wealthy among us help the needy ... 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.” "Justin the Martyr's Apology" to the Emperor Antonius Pius in 150 AD, (Ch. 65-67)
Rome at that time provide free bread, welfare, through their temples and public religion funded by benefactors who exercise authority one over the other through force, fear, and fealty, rather than faith, hope, and charity as Christ commanded. This was the Christian conflict.

Communion

Communion is by modern definitions, "the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level" or "the service of Christian worship at which bread[1] and wine are consecrated and shared."[2]

We see the word appear three time in the King James Bible.

The word in the Greek text is koinonia κοινωνία [3] and it is not always translated communion.

Fellowship

It is more often translated "fellowship":

Acts 2:42 "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship <koinonia>, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
1 Corinthians 1:9 "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship <koinonia> of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."
2 Corinthians 8:4 "Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship <koinonia> of the ministering to the saints."
Galatians 2:9 "And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship <koinonia>; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision."
Ephesians 3:9 "And to make all men see what is the fellowship <koinonia> of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
Philippians 1:5 "For your fellowship <koinonia> in the gospel from the first day until now;"
Philippians 2:1 "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship <koinonia> of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,"
Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship <koinonia> of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"
1 John 1:3 "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship <2842> with us: and truly our fellowship <koinonia> is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."
1 John 1:6 "If we say that we have fellowship <koinonia> with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship <koinonia> one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

Communicate

We also see it translated in the form of the word "communicate" at least twice:

Philemon 1:6 "That the communication[3] of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."
Hebrews 13:16 "But to do good and to communicate[3] forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."

What is the meaning of "do good" and "communicate"?

Communicate what?

One clue is that it is also translated "contribution" and "distribution".

Romans 15:26 "For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution[3] for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem."
2 Corinthians 9:13 "Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution[3] unto them, and unto all men;"

There is little or no fellowship, communication, contribution or distribution in placing a crumb or wafer of bread upon the tongue of an individual. The real communion of Christ or Corban of Christ includes a voluntary offer or freewill offering as a spiritual gift born of an awakening of the Holy Spirit and the subsequent or resulting salvation.

The word of God, as the literal Logos of Christ, is the Right Reason of the kingdom that binds the people with the social bonds of a self-governing free society.

The "communion of the blood of Christ"[4] is the "The bread which Christians shared in their network of charity. break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?"

Forgive and give

Jesus made it clear that if you do not forgive neither will His father forgive you. The truth is that if you do not give life to others neither will the father give life to you. People are not coming in the name of Christ if they are not coming to serve and save others. The kingdom is not in the hearts of people who are not sacrificing daily in a genuine effort to seek a Kingdom of God with a righteous fellowship and communion.

In more ancient times that sharing of bread was not merely a token communion but the the actual performance of a duty to our fellow man and God. The welfare of society in a time of mutual or individual need was the practice of Religion before the definition of the word Religion was changed. The Eucharist and Corban of the early Church was the welfare of their society and community.

Christian fellowship was not just a "friendly association, especially with people who share one's interests" or showing up at your Church building professing the same ideas about God which has become the new self-serving definition of Religion.

To "drink the blood of Christ and to eat His body" is to eat of the LORD's supper and the LORD's benefits provided by faith, hope and charity in a network of believers who gather in the perfect law of liberty in a communion of charity rather than the benefits and rewards of unrighteousness from the Benefactors who exercise authority - the Fathers of the earth which offer the dainties of rulers and welfare of the world which is a snare.

If people are not freely giving and receiving in a Daily ministration provided by the freewill sacrifices of the congregations of the people they will not have the fellowship of the early Church and cannot really be the "we" or "us" Paul is talking to because their house of worship is full of leaven, covetousness, and idolatry.[5]

Who are the peculiar people that are truly seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness?

Who are the people in a real Christian fellowship and participating in the communion of Christ?

Those who may enjoy the true Eucharist of Christ are also setting the table of the LORD with a daily bread of righteousness by giving in the NAME of Christ and not being like the gentiles whose rulers call themselves benefactors but exercise authority[6] to provide the masses with benefits through covetous practices that make the word of God to none effect.

Come to serve

To come in the name of Christ is to come to serve.[7]

If there is no communion that serves the needs of the people there is no congregation of God... without communion there is no fellowship but only wafers of delusion. But there can be the hope of congregations.

It is a worship service[8] if there is actual service performed.[2] Lip service is not true services.

If the people are not gathering, providing and supporting one another in a networking body of mutual love and care in such a supper of righteous benefits then they have need of repentance.

The Criteria of His Church and Congregations

Appendix 14:

Communion of the Church

  • Communion with Christ - The purposes and power of Christ must be the primary spirit in all endeavors of the Church centered in sacrifice and service, thanksgiving and forgiving.
  • Criteria of all commissions - Such Commissions must be in accordance with the purposes of the Church as established by the appointments and teachings of Jesus the Christ, The Will of Our Father in Heaven, and His Kingdom in Faith, Hope, and Charity.
  • Balanced involvement - Wherever possible, the Church should have a balance from the congregation of families, the community, and the cooperation of all, as well as local benefits from the outcome of a project, a national and international perspective should be considered according to the will of Our Father in Heaven.
  • Beneficiary - The one for whom all things are received and done. The Beneficiary of all things done by the Church and auxiliary Churches is Jesus Christ. To continue to do what Christ came to do is to benefit Christ. Christ came to serve and to free.
  • Representative Beneficiary – Christ’s purpose was to serve the people. To serve the people is to serve Christ. The people who believe are the representative beneficiaries.
  • Participation of Representative Beneficiary – As the right to choose is a responsibility given by God, Representative beneficiaries should be involved in the planning, management, and implementation of projects. There should be high local participation in the application of the precepts of God.
  • Skills transfer and utilization - The activities of projects should result in skills transfer

and development, as a means to a developmental end, promoting love of Family, community, and the concerns of the people seeking God’s Kingdom of Heaven.

  • Education - The activities of the Church should be focused upon education. The truth shall set men free, and the lack of knowledge binds men to error and privation, divides families, and leaves men at the mercy of those who would oppress them in iniquity.
  • Alienation - No one should be alienated because of limited understanding or belief. Outreaches to the community should be approached with a merciful offer of charity and hope. Belief and practice of good Samaritans in compliance with the precepts of Christ are more important than words or dogmatic form.
  • Belief - The heart and mind, as well as the individual is judged by God, not by men. The Church and its auxiliaries are always institutions and brotherhoods in service to those who believe, but may need help with their unbelief. We judge not by what men say, but by what they do - and the fruits of that doing.
  • Obedience - As bondservants of Christ, the Ministers of the Church must put the will of God, the Canon of Christ, and obedience to His Holy Spirit as the authority above all else in Peace, Love, and Mercy; Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Criteria of IRS

Certain characteristics are generally attributed to churches. These attributes of a church have been developed by the IRS and by court decisions. They include:

  • Distinct legal existence [9]
  • Recognized creed and form of worship [10]
  • Definite and distinct ecclesiastical government [11]
  • Formal code of doctrine and discipline [12]
  • Distinct religious history [13]
  • Organization of ordained ministers [14]
  • Ordained ministers selected after completing prescribed courses of study[15]
  • Literature of its own [16]
  • Established places of worship.
  • Regular congregations[17]
  • Regular religious services [18]
  • Sunday schools for the religious instruction of the young[19]
  • Schools for the preparation of its members[20]

The IRS generally uses a combination of these characteristics, together with other facts and circumstances, to determine whether an organization is considered a church for federal tax purposes.[21]

Compare Modern and Early Christians

Modern Christians check list vs. Early Christians check list
Modern Christians practice a redefined Religion.[23] Early Christians practiced Pure Religion.[24]
Modern Churches depend on civil administers who call themselves Benefactors but compel contributions to provide legal charity. The Early Church depended on a daily ministration through ministers of Charity operating in a network of tens through love.[25]
Modern Christians depend on men who exercise authority for their welfare entitlements. Early Christians provided another type of social welfare through tables of love, Charity, and hope.
Modern Christians seek Benefits that are provided by the world Christ's kingdom was not of. Early Christians only receive benefits that are unspotted by that world.
Modern Christians eat at the tables of the world and the fathers of the earth with a covetous appetite for their dainties. Early Christians set the table of the Lord with charity and hope loving one another in a networking Kingdom of Love.
Modern Christians think that they are children of God because they say[26] they love Christ. Early Christians were the brethren of Christ because they were doers of the will of the Father.[26]
Modern Christians think that they are forgiven because they say they believe in God and say they love Christ. Early Christians knew Jesus died that they might be forgiven and they are only forgiven when they forgive others.[27]
Modern Christians think they just have to say they believe to obtain Eternal life. Early Christians believed they had to seek to keep the commandments to obtain Eternal life because Jesus said so.
Modern Christians think they worship[8] is about praising God. Early Christians believed they had to worship in Spirit and in Truth[2] by do the will of the Father if we loved him.
Modern Christians think they do not need to do anything like Abraham, Moses and others, but claim they have faith because of what they say they believe. Early Christians knew they had to strive[28] to do the will of the Father if they truly believed.
Modern Christians make men of the earth their Father, despite what Jesus said, by praying to men who exercise authority to obtain benefits at the expense of others through what could be called Public religion. Early Christians Did not call any man on earth their Father, but had their own Private welfare to provide a Daily ministration through charity by Pure Religion, not the Covetous Practices of the public welfare of Rome.
Modern Christians think that Communion of the Father who is in Heaven is eating a small wafer of bread.[29] But they depend on the Fathers of the earth for their daily bread. Early Christians knew that the ritual of the Lord's supper was just a symbol.[30] The real Eucharist was thanksgiving which provided a Daily ministration .
Modern Christians think it is okay to covet benefits provided by men who take from their neighbor by exercise of authority. Early Christians knew that they could not inherit the kingdom if they were covetous.[31]
Modern Christians think the Kingdom of God was postponed, instead of appointed to the Apostles.[32] Early Christians knew the kingdom was at hand.
Modern Christians think they are saved no matter what they do. Early Christians know they must seek the righteousness of God if they are to inherit His kingdom[33]
Modern Christians think they are saved by what they think is true faith. Early Christians know that faith with out works is not real faith, but is dead faith.[34]
Modern Christians sign up for every socialist program from public education and Social Security to Food Stamps and healthcare which are all forms welfare provided by forced offerings of your neighbor despite Christ's warning about the Corban of the Pharisees. Early Christians died rather than sign up for the public welfare programs of the governments of Rome and other countries which brought about the Christian conflict.
Modern Christians take oaths and swear binding themselves to the will of others often to obtain benefits provided at the expense of others. Early Christians and for centuries Christians were persecuted and executed because they refused to take oaths or even affirm because Jesus and James said above all else stop the taking of oaths and swearing.[35]
Modern Christians apply or pray to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other Early Christians knew Christ forbade that we be like the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.
Modern Christians elect rulers all the time and when they Cry out God will not not hear them because they would not hear their neighbor's cries. Early Christians knew that in 1 Samuel 8, God warned that to elect rulers to take and take and take from their neighbors was a rejection of God.
Modern Christians think they do not have to be Doers of the Word, but all they have to do is say they believe. Early Christians knew Jesus told them if they wanted Eternal life they needed to keep the commandments, which included not coveting what belongs to their neighbor.
Modern Christians love the benefits of Benefactors but who exercise authority. Early Christians knew that in Proverbs 23 and Daniel 1, God warns through His prophets that you should not desire the benefits of these men who called themselves Benefactors but who exercise authority.
Modern Christians do not know what Peter meant about coveting or becoming Merchandise and curse our Children Early Christians knew that Peter tells us that Covetous Practices those benefits will make us Merchandise and curse our Children with debt which is bondage.
Modern Christians have returned to the Bondage of Egypt by becoming employed by those rulers who exercise authority. Early Christians knew God forbade us to ever return to the Bondage of Egypt by becoming employed by those rulers who exercise authority.
Modern Christians Want socialist benefits by everyone having One purse even if they are actually Biting one another. Early Christians understood that the Corban of the Pharisees was a forbidden Welfare scheme of having One purse.
Modern Christians, like the Pharisees. have left what should have been their first love and concern. Early Christians repented and attended to "the first work" which included a Daily ministration.
Modern Christians depend upon Public religion through the Temples of the state becoming snared as surety for debt. Early Christians depended upon Private welfare through the Church and bore fruit with their love and daily ministration provided by charity and the perfect law of liberty.
Modern Christians think fellowship is the friendly association, especially with people who share one's interests while praying to Benefactors who exercise authority. Early Christians knew that fellowship was the voluntary system of social welfare run according to the perfect law of liberty through charity.
