Sons of Belial

“Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.” 1 Samuel 2:12

The sons of Eli were not physically the sons of two fathers, but their nature was. Their character and ways were like those associated with the word Belial. There has been a constant battle between two ideas of government since Cain killed Able. One is based on force and control, and they other based on love and forgiveness.

There is a scene in 1 Samuel 2 when the priest began to take their share of the offering by force. There was no question about the evil of this idea when they said “Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.”

The Levites never had that right given them by God. This was a foolish usurpation. When Saul forced the contributions of the people in 1 Samuel 13 he is told that he will lose his kingdom because he acted foolishly.

Paul asks in 2 Corinthians 6:15 “...what concord hath Christ with Belial?”

He had been warning the people not to be “unequally yoked together with unbelievers” with those who do not believe in the way of faith, hope, and charity in the liberty of Christ. He did not want the people to make agreements with them as he continues his admonishment.

“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, ‘I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’” 2 Corinthians 6:16

This idea of forcing the offerings of the people to support the servants of society is contrary to God’s plan. It is Antichrist, it is of Belial who is called Satan. Satanas is a Greek word meaning “adversary.” These systems of government are not ordained by God, but they are allowed. They are adversaries to the way of God but they serve God by punishing the wicked. The Hebrew word for Belial is also translated wicked, ungodly, evil, naughty, and ungodly men.

We see it translated “wicked” in Deuteronomy 15:9 “Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.”

The Free Church Report

The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according to the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war, the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other.”
The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but were not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban of the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.
