Corban of Moses

Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Church established by Jesus Christ freely provided a Daily ministration through a voluntary Network charity as He commanded. The Corban of the Pharisees was the result of a government-run welfare system of free bread set up by Herod the Great which was a "snare" according to Paul and forbidden by the prophets.
That system of forced offerings through taxation was making the word of God to none effect. The repentant souls who got the Baptism of Christ at Pentecost were "put out"[1] of that socialist welfare system of benefits from men like Herod and Caesar who said they were Benefactors of the World but were also the Fathers of the earth.


Corban of Christ

Was the Corban of Moses the same as the Corban of Christ?

What was this Corban of the Pharisees really all about?

How did it differ from the Corban of Moses?

Corban as a Hebrew word meant a sacrifice and was specifically a "freewill offering" made by the people to a levite minister to care for the needy of society through charity and love. That daily ministration of pure Religion produced the fruit of virtue and the subsequent social bonds required for a free society under God. That Corban of Moses was in conformity with the Corban of Christ that would draw us "near" to God and God to us through His Holy Spirit.

An essential complaint about the Pharisees by Jesus was their Corban because it made the word of God to none effect.

Herod and the Pharisees established a system of legal charity that became a compelled offering for their registered members.

Jesus did not just reform the kingdom of God but as priest and king He took it from those who sat in the seat of Moses and appointed to the Apostles.[2]

At that time under the Caesars there was also a similar system through the Imperial Cult of Rome that would be at the core of the Christian conflict with Rome.

Corban of Rome

The Roman welfare system of Qorban like the Corban of the Pharisees and Herod had changed from its early days of the Roman and Israelite republics.

As Republics there were No kings in Rome nor early Israel. Their Temple systems had no buildings made of stone but were dependent upon voluntary networks of charity through which they maintained the social bonds of free societies and nations.

These governments had evolved over time into Socialist States which forced contributions of the people through taxation like in the days of the bondage of Egypt.

The masses of their Citizenry had become slothful in the ways of liberty and accustomed to living at the expense of others. That dependence upon men who called themselves benefactors of the people but who exercised authority one over the other by taking from one group to provide for another. Those covetous practices of desiring the dainties and benefits of rulers degenerated the character of the people and the very fabric of society, the family. Over time the people were willing to even borrow against the future of children to obtain the reward of unrighteousness",

This dependence was and is contrary to the instructions of Christ, and the prophets and brought with it corruption and despotism of the world.

Roman Repentance

Many Romans wanted to return to the way of the republic when their rulers were titular and they were free.

Some had sought that return to republican values by the sword through stabbing Julius Caesar which lead to civil war with Augustus Caesar becoming the Savior of the Pax Romana and hailed as the Son of God.

"Augustus was sensible that mankind is governed by names; nor was he deceived in his expectation, that the senate and people would submit to slavery, provided they were respectfully assured that they still enjoyed their ancient freedom."[3]

There were many Romans, like the Centurion of faith[4] who had eyes to see another way of a different Savior who was also called "Son of God.

Undoubtedly, many of the Romans who became the early Christians in the Empire remembered the words of Polybius and the ways of the Libera res publica of the early Roman Republic.

"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; [5] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[6] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." [7]

Two Corbans

Augustus Caesar had greatly expanded the Imperial Cult of Rome which was a state run welfare system based on registration and compelled contributions. Herod would introduce a similar system of corban in the form of a legal sacrifice in Judea.

Because religion was how you took care of the needy of society these civil institutions were a form of Public religion. FDR would institute similar systems of Social Security in the United States which would be greatly expanded under other American Apotheosis like LBJ and those who succumbed to the covetous practices of his Great Society.

Jesus said if the Pharisees really knew Moses they would have known Him.[8] Do Modern Christians know Jesus or are they under a strong delusion.[9] Jesus warned that many people would think they believed and served Christ but they actually were workers of iniquity.[10]

False teachings on Corban

The word Corban and it many forms found in many language generally means sacrifice. While the people of Israel while in the bondage of Egypt their sacrifice was one fifth of their labor which was compelled by the civil authorities, and funded the government because the government had provided a social safety net for not only the Israelites but all the citizens of Egypt.[11]

For Moses these sacrifices were to be freewill offerings[12] since his purpose was to produce a free people.

If a student of the Bible does not understand that the altars of clay and stone were symbols of systems that provided social safety nets for societies that created social bonds of care and love opposed to those systems that plowed mankind with elements of the world through the force used by the wicked but rejected by John the Baptist, legally justified by oaths, application, and fealty.

Because of historical ignorance many misidentify the nature of the Corban of the Pharisees which used force to provide the dainties, free bread, and social welfare àt the tables of rulers. Those systems are a snare and a trap because of the covetousness which is idolatry and the swearing an oath.

and therefore remain ignorant of the true nature of the Gospel and Corban of Christ.

Dr. Vance Havner

Dr. Vance Havner (1901, North Carolina to August 12, 1986) was a revivalist who authored nearly forty books during his ministry.

"Jesus ... reproved them for their "corban" custom by which they dedicated gifts to God and therefore escaped giving them to the needy. It was well to vow gifts to God, but it had degenerated into a clever excuse for not helping the ones in need—a pretext for evading responsibility."

What he did not seem to understand along with other "blind leaders of the blind" that Corban of the Pharisees was instituted by the civil government of Herod and a corrupted Sanhedrin. It was a social safety net which required membership through vows and baptism. It was a major step toward the ancient cities of blood but conformed to the free bread of the Roman Imperial Cult which Polybius had warned against.

The Jews should have known better having received the teachings of the prophets concerning the snares and traps of such systems.[13]

The modern Christian and certainly the modern Church had even more warnings but strong delusions make a nation sitting in darkness blind.

Believer's Study Bible

The Believer's Study Bible by Wallie Amos Criswell Jr. ( 1909, in Oklahoma to 2002 in Texas (age 92 years)) presents a similar short combing.

"The term "Corban" means "an offering dedicated to God." While the law clearly commanded honor for parents (v10), the Pharisees effectively nullified this commandment in the practice of Corban by allowing a callous child to declare his possessions "devoted to God" so that the parents would have no claim to assistance. Should the son regret his gift of Corban, the Pharisees would insist that the vow be kept in accordance with Nu30:2. Jesus rejects this practice of using the letter of one commandment to invalidate the intent of another."

Again, this study Bible source failed to understand the purpose of those freewill offering given on the living altars of the Levites who served the tents of the congregations providing social welfare to a nation and the distinction of those non covetous practices when compared to Cain, Nimrod, Egypt and Sumer.

This put him at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding the statements about fathers[14], tables[15], practices[16] , and teachings of Christ, the Early Church, and the Apostles including Paul's statement concerning covetousness being idolatry.[17]

The Deadly Lure of Legalism

In the manuscript The Deadly Lure of Legalism by Daniel Akin[18] he mention Corban coming to the conclusion that:

"There are basically only 2 approaches to religion, each of which can be summed up in a single word: do or done. The world says the problem is out there and the answer is what I can do. The Bible says the problem is in here and the answer is what Christ has done!"[19]

There are two approaches to religion but what is religion?

Just a little over 200 years ago Religion was defined as the “Real piety in practice[20], consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men”[21]

Our duty to God includes devotion and devotion includes obedience and homage. Obedience to God would include loving our neighbor and and caring for our parents.

So, Daniel Akin is right "There are basically only 2 approaches to" love and care for our neighbor and our parents. We can do it through freewill offerings which is charity or we can do it legally through the exercising authority of the state.

What Daniel does not seem to see is that to care for the needy of society by the legally compelled contributions of the "world", which is legal charity through the welfare State, is not only the worst form of legalism it is the antitheses of Pure Religion.

Daniel Akin wrote that the "Pharisees created a theological loophole" by simply declaring "what they would have given to their parents" has been vowed "in service to God." Daniel exclaims, "What kind of logic is that?!"[19]

The actual theological loophole by the modern Church us no different than what the Pharisees actually did. They conspired openly with Herod to establish a social safety net for the people through the civil government.

Herod and Constantine both baptized people but motive and purpose were decidedly different than Jesus' purpose.

Herod the Great through his temples established a worldwide membership in a system of social security. It included a record of registration with a clay or stone titulus for verification through the accounts of the scribes. It actually included his own Rabbinical Baptism which had long been a custom in Jewish history.

Registration made you eligible for membership and access to benefits through the treasury of the temple. Those benefits is what the parents of the blind man feared loosing in John 9.[22]

Rome had instituted its own Titulus Venetus[23] and registration through their public temples.

Herod hoped to obtain at least six hundred thousand members to form a New Israel, his own kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Ryrie Study Bible

Ryrie Study Bible by Charles Caldwell Ryrie[24] states:

"If a son declared that the amount needed to support his parents was Corban, the scribes said that he was exempt from his duty to care for his parents as prescribed in the law. Evidently, too, he was not really obliged to devote that sum to the Temple."

Again the Corban was a government system of social security set up by Herod with the assistance of the Pharisees and other political parties where people registered to be a member of what was presented as a New Deal.

Corban of Moses had always been a freewill sacrifice given to the Levite of your choice voluntarily. The Levite was tithed to according to his service.

Understanding Corban

Do we understand what Jesus was telling them or have we become workers of iniquity too?

The Hebrew word qorban ןברק in the Old Testament and is translated offering 68, oblation 12, offered 1, sacrifice 1. It is defined by some to mean "offering, oblation". Corban of Christ is your charitable offering to provide the Daily ministration of the needy within the Congregations of the people who seek to follow Christ. The Hebrew word qarab ברק which as a verb is defined "to come near, approach, enter into, draw near or cause to draw near".

This same word is translated as offer 95 times, but as (come, draw, … ) near 58, bring 58, (come, draw, … ) nigh 18, come 12, approach 10, at hand 4, presented 2, and another 13 other ways, appearing some 280 times. This same letter combination appears another 250 times and is translate many different ways like "midst, among, inner part, middle.

These many different ways is how the Pharisees and others deceived the people to go astray from the purposes of God.

Sacrifice or your Freewill offerings in charity had a purpose. It was an expression of your Faith in The Way of Christ and the Father.

Every successful society has instituted some method of taking care of the elderly, indigent, and needy within their society.

From the Romans to the Tuetons and Celts, from early Israel to the early Christians there was a way to provide for the needy of those communities.

This care or free bread or social welfare was also called the daily ministration [25] in the New Testament but also Pure Religion and was part of the works of the Temples of all nations.

The word ministration in the Greek is from diakonia διακονία and is translated ministry 16 times, ministration 6, ministering 3, along with 9 other ways. It is defined as "service, ministering, esp. of those who execute the commands of others" and is said to be "the office of the deacon in the church" or even "the service of those who prepare and present food".

It is from the Greek noun diakonos διάκονος which is translated minister 20 times, servant 8, deacon only 3 times. It is defined as "one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister".

So, in the first century and for centuries to follow the Church was to feed His sheep by actually providing bread and other foods for the needy which was the Corbanus of Christ.[26]

The Church was composed of benefactors who provided actual service through a Network of ministers for the needy through Freewill offerings. These offerings of Charity was the Corban of Christ given out of love for one another.

Modern Christians get their benefits from men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other instead of by charity and the perfect law of liberty. What they are doing in their state churches today looks nothing like what the early Church established by Christ did nor is it doing what Christ said to do. Yet, they imagine they are believers and pay ministers great sums of money to support that delusion with False religion. They say but do not do as Christ said.

Their actual Corban is through the favor or grace of the state which weakens the people and entangles them again in the elements of the world.

Those men called benefactors can exercise authority over all those who seek their benefits and because those benefits are provided at the expense of their neighbor by the force and power of the state. To desire those benefits at the expense of other people is coveting and to depend upon the state is the antitheses of Pure Religion.

John the Baptist and his baptism, Jesus teaching on love and commandments, Peters warning about Covetous Practices making us merchandise and Paul's constant proclaiming of the importance of Charity are testimony of the the Gospel and the need to create a Network through the Corban of Christ.

    Anyone being baptized by the apostles were going to be "put out" of the system of Corban set up by Herod and the Pharisees. Their Corban was "making the word of God to none effect."
    They would now have to look to the "called out" of Christ who preached something called the Kingdom of God for the daily ministration through pure religion.
    The Corban of Christ was unspotted by the world of Herod and the "legal charity" of the Pharisees nor the "free bread" offered to them by the "savior" Caesar of the world of Rome which were both "making the word of God to none effect."

(See the sacrifice of fools in Ecclesiastes 5:1)

    Malachi 1:7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] contemptible.
