Father
Why?
What did Jesus mean by this instruction?
And what was Jesus trying to tell us?
Policies and practices of governments can divide and degenerate communities and the families within them. The role of the natural is attacked, overshadowed, and replaced by the means and methods of the government itself.
Pictured is Emperor Titus Flāvius Caesar Vespasiānus Augustus, a Father of Rome, who was the son of Emperor Vespasiānus founder of the Flavian dynasty. Before that Augustus Caesar was also called the Patronus, the Father of society and the Saviour of the Pax Romana. He was even called the Son of God.
The Senators of Rome were also called the "Conscripted fathers of the Roman government and they held the position and power of the Parens Patriae, the "Fathers of the Country".[1]
How did or does Rome or a State become the "father and mother of the child" and the "natural parents" loose their natural right over the child "except upon the State’s beneficence…"[2]
How does the state acquire the power of the natural father?
The Caesars held the office Tutor[3] representing the Tutelary god whose Genius[4] could divide the "free bread" and other dainties, and benefits through the tables of civil government.
It is by establishing a system of "legal charity" through the welfare State which will by its nature degenerate the character of the masses into that of perfect savages.
The appetite for the dainties of these conscripted fathers has always made "legal charity" the greatest tool of tyrants.
The family in nature was an autonomous unit, one person. That independent jurisdiction in early Israel and in the early Church was sacred. Sons or daughters were bound to the family naturally and were to care for their parents so that their own days would be long. This made the whole of society stronger. We see this in Jesus own words Matthew 19:5 "And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"
Modern Christian often think differently today. Most of the responsibilities of the family and natural fathers have been assumed by the welfare state despite Jesus' warnings to the contrary. The Church and the families gathered in a network of free assemblies produced the social safety net and the daily ministration of pure Religion that rightly divided the bread from house to house[5] through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty under the righteousness God.
Call no man your father
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." (Matthew 23:9)
Have we not all one father?
No one is more sovereign than the Creator of Mankind. How does God the Father appoint the ruling powers over men so that they may exercise authority, or does He?
To understand the present it is often required to look into the past. Man was not given dominion over other men by God. Men cannot acquire righteous dominion by force. Yet, by consent we may give ourselves into subjection.
Is verbal consent the only way we may be subjected to exercising authority? If we take from or damage others we may incur an obligation to make amends. If we refuse to pay for what we have damaged or taken it is reasonable to compel recompense.
Besides these two reasonable ways of creating a subjecting authority over our person there is still another system clearly sanctioned and even promoted by God the Father in Heaven.
"Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?" (Malachi 2:10)
Sumerian Family Laws
The ana ittishu was the ancient equivalent of the modern words and phrases, expressing the Law and part of an ancient code preserving the Sumerian Family Laws. Not only is the first government based on the family and ordained by God but all government is based on the precepts of what a family is or should be according to these Laws.
“The family is also the first government in the life of the child, with the father as the God-ordained head of the household and his government under God as the child’s basic government.”[6]
In the great domestic relationship of Husband and Wife, the Natural Law and its Creator provide a Father and Mother to have and to hold dominion and custody of their children and heirs. The family was God’s sanctioned government from generation to generation.
In the law of the Latins, the word potestas signifies generally a power or authority by which we do anything. Patria Potestas signifies the authority which a father had over the persons of his children, grandchildren, and other descendants. There was an almost absolute power over the children by the Father or Patri as there also is at Common Law. This was not based on ownership as a slave but as a member of the Familia in which the status of the Father would effect the status of the son.
An act by which the patria potestas was terminated in the natural father is called emancipatio or emancipation.
All natural rights are corelative to natural responsibilities. If natural responsibility is abandoned or even just neglected it follows that the natural rights associated with the relationship may be effected. If a third party steps in with assuming the responsibility formerly the natural responsibility of the natural father.
This is also why the practices associated within the Corban of the Pharisees were making the word of God to none effect as one of the essential elements of historically recorded threefold process reflecting Natural Law.
At the point of emancipation of a child from the natural father where did the power go?
Pater Familias
The family was and is a political unit. Within the manu[7] of the family neither the Wife nor the Husband could sue each other for they are counted as one person, one body.[8]
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24)
The child is bound within the manu of the family. The manus is a Latin word for the power of the pater familias over his wife and his sons’ wives. Even in its prior history manu as a Sanskrit word meant the primordial Father of the human race and sovereign of the earth. These concepts fundamentally reach into the antiquity of man’s history and are only supplanted by the twisted thoughts of an usurping substitute for God’s plan.
Some might think it oppressive that a patriarch would have such power and authority within his given family, but is it any more desirable to be oppressed by tribal or national groups? Governments that eat out the substance of men in peace and march millions of minions to murderous deaths in war cannot be a superior or benevolent master to that of our natural parents.
God dispersed dominion among the fathers of mankind. Even with Jesus he established no office of father to rule man in mass. A child is within that power until the Father releases him or is released from life itself. There is no right of usurpation by any.
"The child is incapable, in his private rights, of any power or dominion; in every other respect he is capable of legal rights."[9]
The child has a capacity for acquiring legal rights. He could acquire by contract, for instance; but everything that he acquires, is acquired for his father. Without emancipation the child was not free of his father’s power and was also not sui juris.
In Latin the words are from sui meaning of one's own and juris, the genitive of jus, meaning right or law. Sui Juris is one who is capable of managing one's own affairs. Only the patriarch of a family is sui juris. The first civil governments based their civil powers on the law of the family. The individual citizen would be able to acquire legal rights by contract but would not be sui juris.
While a natural Father may abuse his children if he lacks love for them there is a natural governor within a natural society if the parents are dependent upon the good will of their family, their children, and charitable practices of their neighbor for their protection and care in their infirmities and old age.[10] When the State or its equivalent becomes the Father of the person their is little or no governor to moderate its power of the individual person. Like the ancient soulless Golem the corporate State may become a soulless beast and master making choice and regulations that has its interest more than the interest of the children.
Vicarious Pater
In Roman Law Caesar's rights to authority or dominion over subject citizenry as emperor stemmed from his position as the vicarious pater or substitute father (see also patres consritpi, the conscripted fathers). The Emperor as father of the country was one of the few men who was sui juris as that system devolved into its centralized imperial position.
The authority of the imperium of Rome was at least twofold. Originally it (merum) was only outside the wall or jurisdiction and conferred by a lex curiata and came from the power of the sword to turn the life of wicked men.[11]
This is the military or police power of each man. Imperium within the walls (mixtum) was incident to jurisdiction (jurisdictio) established by application, contract and nexus. In time they both merged.
The office of imperium was vested by the people in the Imperator, which means commander in chief. As this office expanded during civil conflicts and fear, it merged with the office of Apotheos, which was literally the appointor of gods. These gods were simply the magistratus or judex imperium. They were court judges and those administering the courts throughout the ordered world of the Pax Romana. The same is true of government today.
In that world at the time of the Roman Empire, as in America today, there was a dual system of citizenship [see Citizen vs. Citizen]. Many men sought and seek emancipation from the rule of the imperium but were and are thwarted by a failure to understand the universal authority of the vicarious pater. The modern civil powers are no different. In Roman and American history the family decayed and with it a dissipation of freedom.
The lawful effect of emancipation was to make the emancipated person become sui juris. Within God’s construction of the family, Husband and Wife were one and they held the imperium. This right and responsibility was too sacred to be manumitted with casual abandonment. A legal process was devised involving a patron or civil patronus, a nation’s Father. Cain, Nimrod, and Caesar wished to be free of God’s family plan or control it for themselves.
"The patria potestas could not be dissolved immediately by manumissio (manumission), because the patria potestas must be viewed as an imperium, and not as a right of property like the power of a master over his slave.”[12]
Confirmation of this manumission required a patron and was clothed in a form of a mancipatio (the release of the child) by pledging the son or daughter in three separate events. An analogous relation was formed between the patron and potentially freed individual, creating a nexus.
Rome was heavily populated with domestic servants and slaves. The imperium of Rome began granting greater and greater protections, privilege and gratuities. This act of manumission established the relation called patronus. This Patronus created a relation between manumissor and slave, which was also comparable to father and son. The patron of these manumissions of both sons and slaves was consolidated in the new world order of Rome.
The Real Destroyers
"The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits." —Plutarch.
These two overlapping processes brought about a vast consolidation of power, wealth and control. By the law of the Twelve Tables of Rome, which were the constitutional foundation of their government, if a freedman died intestate, without sui heredes, the patronus was the heir. This meant the property would go back to the Father or civil substitute father if they died with out an heir. This right was viewed as a right of Agnation[13] which created an ever-increasing corporation sole of power and possession within the unholy Roman empire.
The manumitted slave was cleverly called Libertus and he owed more than respect and gratitude to his patron. The patron might punish him with a summary judgment for neglecting his duties. He appeared to be free but was in fact a subject citizen under his substitute father.
During the process of manumission of a son or daughter the patron could gain a sovereign position of influence and power and even become the heir to the corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments of the son or daughter being manumitted.
"While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage." (2 Peter 2:19)
If an individual being emancipated required a tutor or curator, the rights which would have belonged to the father, if he had not emancipated the child, were secured to the patron as a kind of patronal right and the status of sui juris is not completed. It was upon these precepts of law that the Emperator/Apotheos of Rome forged its greatest power over the people.
"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." (Proverbs 23:1, 3)
"And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:" (Romans 11:9)
The rise of the welfare state long before the first Emperor in the world was undermining the character and minds of the people of Rome according to Polybius. Polybius saw the downfall of the republic a 150 years before the first Emperor of Rome and 175 years before the birth of Jesus Christ and John the Baptist.
"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; [14] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[15] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch."[16]
If we knew history and were willing to see how a socialist approach to politics can alter the mind of society and can even degenerate the soul of the individual. Repentance is changing the way we think so that we are willing to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness through charity rather than taxation, faith rather than force, hope rather than the imagined security of entitlements.
"If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made --- in the family."[17]
The cost of Food Stamps, Public Education and all government financed social programs is not monetary but the moral integrity of society and the people within it. The drive toward socialism of the Great Society of LBJ has divided the Black family. Only 7% of black children were born in single parent families before 1964 yet by 2014 that percentage had risen to 73% of children were born in black single parent homes. The condition of black poverty and crime in America is not the product of slavery or even bigotry but socialism.
By the same logic if you want to control society you will need to undermine the need and dependence upon the family unit by the state taking on the role of the natural father and mother of the household. You will want to divide and remove the dependence of parents on the care provided by their children as specified in the Ten Commandments. And you will want to remove the responsibility of the fathers and mothers to teach their children.
"Each class contributed its share to the common decay… The free citizens were idle, dissipated, sunken; their chief thoughts of the theater and the arena… more than two hundred thousand persons were thus maintained by the State, what of the old Roman stock remained was rapidly decaying, partly from corruption, but chiefly from the increasing cessation of marriage, and the nameless abominations of what remained of family-life.... The sanctity of marriage had ceased. Female dissipation and the general dissoluteness led at last to an almost entire cessation of marriage. Abortion, and the exposure and murder of newly-born children, were common and tolerated; unnatural vices, which even the greatest philosophers practiced, if not advocated, attained proportions which defy description.” “Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah” Chapter XI. by Alfred Edersheim.
Many of the same patterns of society that contributed to the downfall of Rome are repeated today not only because their view of modern history but a clear understanding of the ancient history of society is none existence.
“Even amongst women there were symptoms of revolt against the older order, which showed itself in a growing freedom of manners and impatience of control, the marriage tie was relaxed…"[18]
Other nations who did not succumb to the temptation of Nimrods and Caesars maintained healthy family units at the core of their society.
"This is in the sense that the matrimonial bond was strictly observed by the Germanic peoples, this being compared favorably against licentiousness in Rome. Tacitus appears to hold the fairly strict monogamy (with some exceptions among nobles who marry again) between Germanic husbands and wives, and the chastity among the unmarried to be worthy of the highest praise." Publius Tacitus, The Agricola and The Germania (Ch. 18).
Benefits within in society that come because of forced offering rather than charity degenerate society which may result in drug and alcohol abuse, sloth and wantonness, which often debilitates the community bonds and dividing the people. It also erodes the family.
Roman Emancipation
The Emperor Augustus introduced the practice of effecting emancipation[19] by a rescript, when the parties were not present[20]. Justinian enacted that the emancipation could be effected before a magistrate. But Justinian carried the process a step further.
“‘Civil Law,’ ‘Roman Law’ and ‘Roman Civil Law’ are convertible phrases, meaning the same system of jurisprudence.”[21]
Eventually women were emancipated from the coverture of their families into the coverture of the Imperium State granting them power of a "person" as members of the State. In the home their labor was free from taxation burdens imposed on all other labor.
Today, the emancipation of women has removed them from the homes where all their labor went to the benefit of the family into a world where 20 to 50 percent of the value of their labor is now directly removed from them and therefore from their family by the State for its own filtered purposes.
1 Samuel 8 warns that as the power of and dependence upon the state grows it will eventually not only take a portion of your labor and fields but also your sons and daughters. And even God will not hear you when you cry out.[22]
The Romans and many other civilizations that came before and after them knew that the law of the family was so important that it could not be terminated lightly. The matter was so serious and fundamental and knowledgeable Fathers always stipulated for a re-emancipation from the patron called a pactum fiduciae, an agreement of trust.
Pacta servanda sunt.
Agreements must be kept.
Emancipation from one’s natural father into the hands of the state or substitute father is often analogous to jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Like the prodigal son the individual finds that they are eventually worse off than anything they had before.
Accept NO Substitute
The substituting of God’s plan and family for the plans and will of men corrupts the natural benefits of the family structure and seduces the individual into an unnatural state or status.
Those who are observant see an increase in the infringement and even termination of parental rights by modern courts.
Where do modern courts obtain power to rule over the family?
God gives children to their parents. Who has more primal right than those who gave the child life? Children take their first step of emancipation from the manu of their families, and protestas of their Father with the novation[23] of the state birth certification.
"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." (Exodus 20:12)
The word honour above is from the Hebrew דבכ or kabad.
The first time the word is used in the Bible was in reference to Abraham and is translated 'rich'. Abram had already expatriated from his Father Terah who was ruling in the city state called Haran.
"And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold." (Genesis 13:2)
We often imagine that this word honour refers to merely turning off the TV, going to bed on time, or taking out the garbage.
What is this obligation to care for our parents and the family?
"Excise (tribute), in its origin, is the patrimonial right of emperors and kings." [24]
Tribute is, "A sum of money paid by an inferior sovereign or state to a superior potentate, to secure the friendship or protection of the latter.”[25]
The subject of Patronus is a vast and interesting subject as a contributing source to understanding the origins of tithes and taxes. "Patronus, Roman civil law. This word is a modification of the Latin word pater, father; a denomination applied by Romulus to the first, senators of Rome, and which they always afterwards bore. Romulus at first appointed a hundred of them".[26] The principles of Patronus are still quoted in countless cases involving everything from trusts to postliminy. But it is best dealt with in another place. It is only important to mention here because it is the principle and origin upon which a proper and comprehensive subjective citizenship is based.
The Benefit of Life
Since, a natural father gives the benefit of life to his child when the child is in the womb, so also it is important in the scheme of the system of things that the substitute father grants benefits to the individual while he is still in the womb.
"He who is in the womb is considered as born, whenever his benefit is concerned.[27]
The Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act was "for the promotion, the welfare and hygiene of maternity and infancy and for other purposes," The Senate passed it with a vote of 63 to 7, and by the House with a vote of 279 to 39, and was finally signed by the president and became law on Nov. 23, 1921. The act provided for the current fiscal year (1922) $10,000 for each state accepting the provisions of the act, and the additional sum of $1,000,000.
The bill was a direct outgrowth of a nine year study made by the "Federal Children's Bureau." Note the Bureau was not the federal bureau for children but the bureau of the federal children. This act and the acceptance of its benefits by the states created the "United States birth registration area."[28]
Why does the United States need to register your birth? Because the United States acts as Rome. It sits in the usurped position of your Father and demands your faithful obedience.
Did the federal government have the right to impose such legislation on the States? In 1923, it was argued by Mr. Alexander Lincoln, Assistant Attorney General of Massachusetts, "The act is unconstitutional. It purports to vest in agencies of the Federal Government powers which are almost wholly undefined, in matters relating to maternity and infancy, and to authorize appropriations of federal funds for the purposes of the act."
The complaint went on to state that, "The act is invalid because it assumes powers not granted to Congress and usurps the local police power...The act is not made valid by the circumstance that federal powers are to be exercised only with respect to those States which accept the act, for Congress cannot assume, and state legislatures cannot yield, the powers reserved to the States by the Constitution. The act is invalid because it imposes on each State an illegal option either to yield a part of its powers reserved by the Tenth Amendment or to give up its share of appropriations under the act."[29]
In the final analysis the Act was an offer from one corporate entity to others for the purpose of providing an avenue for the individual citizen of America to register as a subject of the State and therefore a citizen of the Federal corporate State, the superior sovereign agent, called the United States. The federal government would assume the position of Patron as the natural fathers emancipate their children from God’s institution, the family, into the hands of man made institutions and the substitute father.
The Substitute Father
The vicarious patri or substitute father becomes the patronus of the infant citizen according to the law of Parens Patriae, Obey the Father. Even the United States Codes verify this parental relationship using the Latin in their own US codes.[30]
Once you are registered as a child of the State there are many benefits and paths open to you. The state stands in the position of patron and supplies both tutor[3] and curator for the child. The patron never entirely releases the child to the status of sui juris as long as they depend upon the gracious benefits of the State.
Without the exercise of rugged individualism that comes from an independent self reliant family the people are brought down to a weakened state of apathy and self indulgence.
"Society in every state is a blessing, but a government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."[31]
Rome eventually had a vast system of welfare. Those who registered with Rome and its increasing socialist state were eligible for free bread. Rome imported 500,000,000 bushels of this grain each year from Egypt alone. There was a great deal of free entertainment provided and a general promise of social security to those who chose to be a part of the offered system of Corban.[32] The United States government is simply carrying on the Roman tradition and custom when it began birth registration to care for its children.
The parents have likely already asked permission of the government to marry subjecting the products of the marriage to the state.[33] They have likely sold their labor to obtain a personal social security. Parents enter the hospital signing and granting permission to that corporate entity and its licensed officers the right to determine the best interest of the child and to register the child with its patron.[34]
"(2) Birth Registration Document. The Social Security Administration (SSA) may enter into an agreement with officials of a State... to establish, as part of the official birth registration process, a procedure to assist SSA in assigning social security numbers to newborn children. Where an agreement is in effect, a parent, as part of the official birth registration process, need not complete a Form SS-5 and may request that SSA assign a social security number to the newborn child.[35]
The birth certificate was a clear granting of gifts, gratuities and benefits, by government, to a child while it was still in the womb of his natural mother. All the children who were certified by the signature and seal of a natural parent, or a professional doctor and the representing county and state were eligible for further federal and state benefits as a federal child of the state.
The Hospital is incorporated by the State and operated by persons with Federal Employee Identification Numbers.[36]
The Doctors and Nurses are all licensed Professionals and acting as agents. The parents bring their unborn child to the corporate altar, which then through their agents signs the child over to the state. Generation after generation born in subject status with the sole purpose of feeding and energizing the body of the State.
The table of men
The tables of men[37] who exercise authority has been called a "snare" by both David and Paul or Polybius and Plutarch and is found among all the warnings of the prophets and apostles throughout history.
Nothing will stir the angry ardor and abhorrence of those of the system of the world of the welfare state more than the suggestion there is something wrong with the gifts of the State and that we should be in rejection of those benefits. The idea that we should not have an appetite for those benefits is clearly stated in Proverbs and by the prophets.
To say in a pristine and orderly hospital, "I am the Father and I have taken responsibility for this Child" can stir a great wrath from many within those sacred chambers and send waves of stirring reality rippling through those hollowed halls.
The Latin word pater means father. As we have seen the word was used as a title of the Emperor and before him the pro council was referred to as the father of the senate and therefore the Empire. Pater or patri was also an address in reference to the Senators of Rome. The Roman's developed an elected congress to introduce the proposed bills for the enfranchised citizenry who were subject to the statutes of men. This congress was called patres consritpi, the conscripted fathers [see Citizen vs. Citizen].
We can assume that the people of the Roman Empire when they heard the word pater thought of one of several ideas. Either they were talking about their genetic father and their Creator Father in heaven, or their substitute fathers in Rome.
Jesus said, “And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9)
To make such a statement was a shock to those who thought man's governments and the Roman political and judicial system, with its peace and commerce, was good for society and the business of men. This would be like saying call no man on earth president or senator or congressman.
In that Greek text of Matthew we find the word Pater[38] meaning father in the Latin. When Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world he did not use the Greek word for earth or planet or inhabited places or age that are also translated into world. The word world there is kosmos[39] “meaning a harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government”.[40]
This was a jurisdictional statement. To call no man father was a jurisdictional statement. To be baptized was a jurisdictional event of allegiance. To worship is an act of homage to a lord or King. Jesus did not preach the religion of heaven but the kingdom.
But when the Church did not do the job of Daily ministration the people might turn to civil Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other. But when the Church leas the people by applying to these Fathers of the earth then the Church takes the name of the Lord in vain.
The Church of Constantine gave power to men like Cain, Nimrod and FDR. This made them dependent upon those benefits. Those Benefactors who exercise authority would eventually turn on the Church who crowned these men as kings over the people. We have to look no further than 2 Samuel 8 to see that the establishment of rulers over men is the result of a rejection of God.
Even Lady Godiva opposed this concept because she knew it would drive a wedge into the heart of all Christian communities and the whole of society.
This idea of a church supported by compelled taxes or men who ruled has been one of the great temptations that face those who would dare to follow Christ. From Cain to Constantine men have sat and ate with kings to their detriment. Before 1776 Congregationalists and Anglicans had received public financial support. They called their state Benefactors "nursing fathers" [41] in opposition to the very instructions of Christ concerning calling men Fathers and even prayer. This false Church policy cannot be justified by Isaiah 49:23.
These apostate Churches take the name of Christ in vain and claiming to be His Church. They continue this false religious practice of applying to the Nimrods of the world for benefits in early America. In Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire passed "general assessment schemes". They imposed what they called religious taxes upon all citizens, who then had the option of designating their share to the church of his choice.
There was opposition to this Covetous Practices by men like Isaac Backus who declared their should be a separation of Church and State and that "True religion is a voluntary obedience unto God."[42]
Today the "general assessment schemes" have simply bypassed an impotent and apostate Church all together by providing social welfare through the State almost exclusively. The vast bureaucracy and swarms of offices now eat out the substance of the people. Churches are not centers of a loving welfare serving society. They have become places of entertainment and delusion where your ears can be tickled for a price. The only thing that is truly sacrificed is the righteousness of God.
These Churches needs to Repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and began to attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through 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 according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
- One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.
- If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.[43]
.
Entering the Treasury
It had always been an option for the people to apply to the State for an enfranchised citizenship. Marcus Aurelius wanted no child to be left behind. He required by law that everyone must register the birth of their children with the Secretary of Treasury or Provincial Registrars within 30 days.
The Christians could not. Such registration would be an application to the Father of the Roman State and would be turning from Christ’s command. The State became the “In Loco Parentis” which in the Latin, means “in the place of a parent” which is a turning away from the Natural Family instituted by God.
When Christians had needs they went to Christians and their charitable altars tended by men like Stephen, Philip and Prochorus,[44] not the altars of Rome.
They knew the Lord hated the Nicolatians and would not apply to the Father of Rome nor its systems of Qurban. The benefits of that gentile government were the result of the peoples sacrifice to the gods of the Roman State, the Apo Theos of Rome. Christians would not apply to that Father and god.
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.”[45]
The early Christian community was a republic that was recognized by Rome through the proclamation nailed to the cross by order of the Proconsul of Rome, Pontius Pilate.
People have applied to the world of the image of Rome. Should they call men of that world their father? Not according to Jesus and His directive about Benefactors in the Bible.
"The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.... But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant ... as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. Have we not all one father?..." (Malachi 2:6, 10)
Those who have made covenants and contracts under penalty of perjury with the image of Rome and made the beast their substitute father, god, and benefactor still may be saved by faith.
"Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." (1 John 2:15 16)
We must seek the kingdom of heaven first. It is found first within our souls and hearts as we apply to the Father in Heaven according to His plan of faith, hope, charity, and love.
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." (Philippians 2:12)
It is God’s wish that His servants proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof... and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.[46]
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8:14,15)
Repatriation
"And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 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! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants." (Luke 15:15-19)
This is the prayer that we must all pray if we seek the liberty of Christ but to be a true Christian, a follower of Christ we must do more.
"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. 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. 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: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry." (Luke 15:20-24)
While the son was accepted back through the grace of his father without doing any work for his father it was not until he rose up and humbly began the journey back with the purpose serve in his fathers house that his Father came out to meet him with that grace.
You to must rise up and seek to serve in your Father's house this is why Christ began the gospel with Repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
If the next morning the son was lazy and failed to get up and do right within his father's house we would soon know that his repentance was false and his father would cast him out.
Repent and Rise up and return to your Father's house and His emancipation from the fathers of the earth will come upon you.
