"Feed my sheep!"
Pastors should be like shepherds who tend to all the welfare needs of the people in a daily ministration of faith, hope, and charity, so that none of the *sheep of Christ* have to eat at the tables of legal charity provided by the exercising authority of *the Fathers of the earth*.^[1]
Before Jesus was able to provide the people with loaves and fishes in Mark 6:39 He "commanded" His disciples to "make" the people sit down in **Tens**. And then those groups were to organize in companies upon companies in *divisions* and "ranks" of "fifties and hundreds".
Christ also told His disciples not to be like the *rulers and princes of the Gentiles* who provided *benefits by exercising authority one over the other*.
Everyone who got the Baptism of Christ was "put out" by the ordinance of the Pharisees of the Jewish synagogue system which was also composed of ten families through which they provided welfare with the "Corban" of the people.
Christ appointed a kingdom to His "called out" group He called His "little flock" to be ministers or servants to the people in "free assemblies" not rulers like the "benefactors" of the "world" who "exercise authority". Every man should be led by the Holy Spirit to gather in order to love one another. The minister is supposed to be serving by *making* or *requiring* the people voluntarily organize themselves in Companies of tens, fifties and hundreds, and thousands so that people may *love one another* through daily ministration in the practice of Pure Religion as we see the early Church doing in history for centuries.
If all the people who say they are Christians were actually doing what Christ commanded, socialism would be obsolete and no one could be or would be exploited. *Socialism* is the religion you get when you refuse to do what Christ commanded and have no Pure Religion.

MINISTER

The noun minister in the testaments means servant because the verb minister meant to serve.

The Old Testament uses the Hebrew word Sharath^[2] which we translate minister. Those minsters served the tabernacle of the congregation through a system of altars.

Many modern Religions including many in modern Israel do not understand that the ministers and priests of Israel performed all the functions of modern government but funded those services by freewill offerings.^[3] through a network of synagogues of the people where those ministers did not go up by steps nor exercise authority^[4] one over the other.

When the masses^[5] strayed from that voluntary system of self government advocated by Moses they would again go under tribute through "one purse" systems of social welfare offered the "dainties of rulers" through civil tables became a snare and a trap.

In the New Testament the use the Greek word for minister is diakonos^[6] which also mean servant. There are other Greek words like huperetes^[7] and leitourgos^[8], both of which can mean a public servant of the governments of the world, are also referred to as the ministers of Christ.^[9]

The purpose of joining the networks of tens set up by Moses and by Christ is to create an environment to help teach the people the way of sacrifice. John the Baptist and Jesus called the people to repent. That prosses incudes Fasting from their appetite and desire for those benefits and dainties coming from the tables of the unrighteous mammon which may allow them to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness through that sacrifice and love.

The people and ministers of the modern Churches must confess to God and men that they have often chose to tickle the ears in their gatherings and justify eating at those tables of the princes of the world, men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority^[4] one over the other until the whole world has returned to the bondage of Egypt, which is Mystery Babylon.

We must seek righteousness of God because the people have not been doing what Christ said for at least a hundred years and more. Preachers have not been teaching the way of the Corban of Christ but have remained blind guides^[10] far to long.

Christ commanded that His disciples make the people gather in tens, hundreds, and thousands like the Early Church, like early Israel and love one another in the practice Pure Religion. They provided a daily ministration and rightly divide bread from house to house. When there were disasters and famines they sent aid all over the world to those within that network of followers of the way. The Church was to provide tables of welfare that were not a snare, did not make people human resources and curse children through covetousness which is idolatry.

But the failure of the masses and the apostate churches to follow the way has made them both subject. They are again entangled in the yoke of bondage and curse children as surety for debt to the unrighteous mammon. Those who feel the sting of the whips and scorpions of that bondage may want to get out of Egypt but should more earnestly seek the kingdom.

Both Moses and Jesus taught the people to care for one another before they were free. They taught them to walk in faith first as the first steps toward the kingdom as they learned what it meant to repent. The purpose of the network was and is not to give you sense of belonging or feelings of security, nor comfort on the road to destruction nor escape your existing civil obligations of Egypt but to return to your duties and responsibilities willingly and seek righteousness.

You were not to covet the social welfare of governments that exercise authority^[4] but instead gather to provide a daily ministration for society through charity by personal sacrifice.

That requires what was called repentance so that the individual learns The Way of Christ which is the way of sacrifice and doing your duty to God and your fellow man. Even when doing what is righteous does not produces desired benefit for you you accept the consequences and do the will of the Father.

If you truly did that you would create the social bonds of a free society and by the grace of God you might have the power to be competitive with and even overcome the corporation states of the world, those cities of blood.

Types of living Altars

In the Church there are two types of altars, Clay and Stone.^[11]

These terms like altars of stones or earth are metaphors for elements of a system by which men may remain free souls under God the Father in Heaven with no other gods before them.

While reading the Old Testament we may believe that we are being told to pile up stones and kill sheep and oxen as if by doing so we will create the loyalty and honor required to maintain and protect a free society. The truth is much simpler and far more practical once we understand the Sophistry of false teachers.

We know the Pharisees had strayed from the teachings of Moses. We know that Jesus, as the Christ came preaching the Kingdom of God at hand and appointed that Kingdom to His titular servants.

Have Modern Christians and their ministers also been led astray into a state of apostasy and under a strong delusion?

Moses and Christ were in agreement.^[12]

Every man is an altar of earth. The Hebrew word for earth when talking about altars of earth is "adamah". We are the Adamah. We are all sons of Adam. Each man plays his part in the kingdom of God by being a conduit for the sacrifices of his family in the practice of "pure religion".

If the ministers called out by God the Father will gather the people in companies as Jesus "commanded" in Mark 6:39 and "make" them sit down in companies upon companies in divisions and "ranks" of "in fifties and hundreds so that they may love one another in the practice of Pure Religion the Holy Spirit will come and bless His peculiar people.

Christ appointed *His ministers* to do a job and provide the services of Pure Religion through charitable practices, freely giving what was freely received like the Levites who were the Church in the Wilderness. They were public servants of a free government *of, for, and by* the virtue of the people and the ministries of His Church. Providing welfare through the state where men may *call themselves benefactors* creates a social compact with a corporate body that exercises authority which makes the *word of God to none effect* and snares the people as surety for debt. They gave up personal wealth being "called out" and relied upon charity. They were not mendicant which would be contrary to the early Church. They were to be in one accord, One Body, as the true Church. 1000 years later in the days of Lady Godiva the Church would look to the *Benefactors who exercise authority* and the *Fathers of the earth* becoming *entangled in the elements of the world*. It is time to repent!

"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." James 1:27

The Elder of each family chooses how his family is to serve his congregation and the whole community.

Religion is the performance of our duty to God and our fellow man. Everyone in the kingdom or seeking the kingdom must realize that they are ministers to each other. Ministers of the Kingdom are those who gather together to facilitate that ministry on a national and world-wide basis.^[13]

The stone altars are also men, lively stones. The living ministers of the Church chosen by men, and ordained of God are the living altars of stone of the kingdom^[14]. They are titular leaders and benefactors who do not exercise authority^[4] over the contributing of the people but minister their offerings for the good of those they serve with Freewill offerings in a system of Daily ministration according to the Perfect law of liberty.

The church is an alternative government form^[15] based on "the perfect law of liberty" composed of families in congregations, and ordained ministers who are servants of servants facilitating a system of welfare through faith, hope, and charity that sets men free.
