Servitude

But because the people desired benefits from men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority[1] we have returned to that same bondage.
We were told to never return to the bondage of Egypt, but people did under Herod and Rome, and that the corban of the pharisees made the word of God to none effect. Then in the United States under FDR, LBJ and other Benefactors of the Social Welfare State System. It was also called a corvee system of statutory labor, or the bondage of Egypt. Jesus told us to think a different way and to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Servitude
Servitude is defined as "the state of being a slave or completely subject to someone more powerful."
Abraham did not want to be a part of the top down authority exercised with in the governments that reduced the people to becoming Human resources within an authoritarian city State like Babylon, Sumer or Sodom.
He sought another way to organize the people so that they might be free souls under God and fruitful. Most of the systems established by men weakened the masses and empowered the rulers leading to abuse and often destruction.
Abraham remained a stranger in Canaan and would not take a buckle from Bera of Sodom.
Selling yourself
- "Besides being able to borrow on personal security, an individual might sell himself or a family member into slavery." Historical forms of debt and servitude, specifically referencing the ancient Code of Hammurabi.
Maxims of Law
- He who receives the benefit should also bear the disadvantage.
- Cujus est commodum ejus debet esse incommodum.
- He who has the risk has the dominion or advantage.
- Ejus est periculum cujus est dominium aut commodum.
- He who derives a benefit from a thing, ought to feel the disadvantages attending it. 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 1433
- Que sentit commodum, sentire debet et onus.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau believed that in a contract of self-enslavement the slave essentially loses all, since the slave no longer has his status as a moral agent because he has little capability of enforcing a contract of debt owed to him by his master. Why would he do such a thing but by necessity or the hope of advantage.
Inalienable rights are fundamental entitlements inherent to all people, impossible to take away, surrender, or transfer, often considered God-given or natural, like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, existing outside of government and requiring protection by law. They are the bedrock of human rights, meaning no government or authority can legitimately revoke them, even if laws fail to protect them in practice, highlighting a claim to inherent justice.
Paternalism
The Paternalism of the corporate state may limit the liberty of the persons bound in membership by social compact or debt. Paternalism is an ancient concept used to justify the legitimacy of slavery and even the subjugation of whole nations under the power of the state. There often two choices in the forms of We see this in the systems of the Conscripted fathers, Patronus of Rome who called themselves Benefactors and became the Pater Patriae through the offer of benefits. These are the [[Fathers of the earth]] spoken of by Jesus.
- "When an individual becomes utterly dependent on another person or group to provide all of their emotional, spiritual and physical needs, that individual has given away all of their power. They are allowing another person or persons the ability to pull the proverbial rug out from under them at any given moment. It is a form of slavery, plain and simple." ~ Brent Parrish
- "This abomination must have an end, and there is a superior bench reserved in heaven for those who hasten it." ~ Thomas Jefferson
An ancient way to enslave a nation of people and bring them under tribute was called Corvee. How it works is explained in: Employ vs Enslave
“Servitude. A term which indicates the subjection of one person to another person, or of a person to a thing, or of a thing to a person, or of a thing to a thing.”[2]
Involuntary servitude is illegal in the United States, but voluntary servitude is very legal and common in the world today.
Article XIII - Slavery and Involuntary Servitude
- Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. [affects 11] The Constitution
- Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. [ratified #13]

When you waive a right to a portion of your labor to obtain benefits at the expense of your neighbor you and the generations to come have entered a social contract. If you continue to apply for or obtain those benefits by borrowing against the future generation, you the next generations and un-volunteering is not usually permitted nor should it be.
“Whatever day makes man a slave, takes half his worth away.” —Homer, Odyssey.

Servitude today
Has the United States brought over 300 millions of its own citizens into the bondage of Egypt while falsely convincing them that they are free?
The key element that allowed them to do this is the strong delusion of the people that they are free, moral and just. Part of that is the private interpretation of the Bible by the modern Church. That delusion remains because the people hate the light. The video clearly defines slavery but all those nations had varied applications.
Mystery servitude
In Bouvier’s definition of law we find stated that: “3. An analysis of the science of law presents a view, first, of the rights of persons, distinguishing them as natural persons and artificial person, or body politic or corporations. These rights are deemed either absolute, as relating to the enjoyment of personal security, liberty, and of private property or, on the other hand, as relative, - that is, arising out of the relation in which several persons stand. These relations are either, first, public or political, viz.: the relation of magistrate and people; or, second, are private, as the relations of master and servant, husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, to which might be added relations arising out private contracts, such as partnerships, principal and agent, and the like.”
- “Protection draws to it subjection; subjection protection” [3]
The term “employ” can be defined “to equitably convert”. The employer “occupies and possesses” the use of the employee.
Romans had many laws protecting slaves who sometimes purchased their liberty.
But who is the employer and master of your labor? “EMPLOYEES See Master and Servant (this index)”[4]
- “Also, the merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore, full stock of gold and silver and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and coaches and slaves and human souls.” Revelation 18:11, 13.
From the beginning
Slaver existed among men almost from the beginning.
The Bible regulated the practice of slavery but it did not advocate the enslavement of our fellow man.
- “Jesus said, ...For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Mark 10:5, 9)
But this bondage has often made the servant and slave stronger and more clever than many other people. But it does not make them righteous nor wise. Christ showed us that way.
