Tables

What was this whip and the moneychangers story all about? Was it an act of violence or was Jesus just doing his job as king of Judea? What is the meaning of Mammon and why is there a righteous an unrighteous mammon? Was he tipping over tables or was he turning the *treasury* of that government back to the people?
Peter did "contrary to the decrees of Caesar". That was not disobedience because he was under the authority of another king.^[1] Peter did not eat at the table of Caesar because he knew that his free bread which should have been for people's welfare was a snare^[2] because as a covetous practice it would make him a human resource of Caesar.
This is because the welfare of rulers who exercise authority are the dainties which are the deceitful meats.^[3]

Tables

Paul the Apostle talks about tables being a "snare and a trap", and a "stumblingblock" quoting David.^[2] And the people's eyes would be darkened so that they would not see the truth but follow blind guides.

How can a table be a snare?

What are these tables filled with things sacrificed to "devils"?^[4]

How are these tables which are meant to be for our welfare also be a snare?^[2]

The answer is at the core of the Christan conflict with the early Church.

In Isaiah 28:8^[5] we are warned that all their "tables"^[6] are full of vomit and filthiness".

The word we see as tables in the Bible have more than one meaning.

In Proverbs 3 we are told to not let "mercy and truth forsake thee" but are to "write them upon the table <03871> of thine heart".

In Isaiah 30 we are warned that there is "Woe to the rebellious children"^[7] because the the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame. We were to write it before them in a table^[8] that the help or succour^[9] of Egypt would be in vain.

There is another word in the Old Testament that is translated table which we see in Psalms 69:22 "Let their table <07979> become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap."

Even Christ told us about the different tables of the kingdom. Christ appointed a kingdom with a table to his disciples.^[10]

Another table

Paul uses the Greek word trapeza^[11] for table when quoting David in Romans 11:9 "And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock. and a recompence unto them:"^[2]

In Luke 19 it is translated "bank" and the Moneychangers sat at tables which Christ turned over. Could those tables have also been banks or part of the storehouse for collecting funds or resources?

And what of the Seven men who were to wait on tables to provide a daily ministration for Greeks. Were those tables also banks?

The Temple of Diana was also like a bank. Even the Temple in Jerusalem functioned at times like a bank. The art of banking required a reserve fund often in a treasury of some kind. This was the function of the Golden calf.

Christ so a different kind of treasury where the funds and wealth were in the hands and pockets of the people and not in a central vault or depository.

Tables of the world

Tables of the world were the systems of social welfare like the Corban^[12] of the pharisees and Herod and at the time of Christ was making the word of God to none effect.

Christ appointed a kingdom to his ministers^[13] but told them that they were not to exercise authority^[14] one over the other to be the benefactors^[15] of the people.

To desire the benefits or the dainties of these rulers who exercise authority would be coveting your neighbor's goods through those rulers who take from your neighbor should be counted as the reward of unrighteousness.

Paul said they were a snare and a trap, Peter said they would make you merchandise and curse children. But tithing is the share freely offered by the families who sit down in tens as commanded by Christ. It is what was freely given to support the daily ministration.

Covetous practices like welfare provided by men who exercise authority^[14] were called idolatry by Paul.^[16]

Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, Moses required that all the sacrifices of the people had to be freewill offerings and Christ, the Apostles and Paul called for charity and love which is sacrifice, but Nimrod, Abimelech, Pharaoh, and Herod taxed the people which is the sacrifice of fools.

Old Testament

A Footstool was the foundation of Altars of God. Altars were not piles of *dead stones* but Lively Stones of a Living Altar.

through faith, hope and charity and the Perfect law of liberty.

attending 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.

Corban of blood
- Matthew 27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury <2878>, because it is the price of blood.
- Mark 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban <2878>, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free].
  Matthew 15:1 "Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition<3862> of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men."
  
  1 Timothy 5:4 "But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite<287><591> their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 And these things give in charge(commanded), that they may be blameless. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

Covetousness is idolatry
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"

Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

Religious
Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious(sebomai Worship) proselytes(a newcomer) followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Acts 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion (threskeia) I lived a Pharisee.

Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion(Ioudaismos), how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the Jews’ religion(Ioudaismos) above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious(thresko), and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion(threskeia) [is] vain. 27 Pure religion(katharos threskeia) and undefiled(amiantos-not defiled) before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted (undefiled-free from vice) from the world.

What is the Bible about?
- The term Religion appears five times but only once do we see mentioned in a good sense as Pure Religion.
- Forms of Governments and law are constant topic in the Bible.
- Babylon, the Bondage of Egypt and their flesh pots, Cities of Blood, eating the dainties of rulers and the Benefactors who exercise authority where people bite one another but the Kingdom of God was not of the "world" of Rome.
- "This Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People." Attributed to the General Prologue to the Wycliffe Bible translation of 1384, and quoted by Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg.

What is Church
- The ekklesia was called out and translated Church like the Church in the wilderness who were called Levites.
- The early Church was functioning different than the Modern Church.
- The early Church had a daily ministration that rightly divided bread from house to house which was the social safety net of the early Christians.
- When there were dearths the Early Church received charitable contributions from early Christians that provided Social welfare through a network of faith.
- Early Christians did not eat at the tables of Rome because even though they should have been for their welfare they were a snare and a trap.
- Without the Corban of Christ and Corban of Moses which were provided by sacrifices of love/charity and freewill offerings the people would become merchandise and curse children.
- The world used force, fear, and fealty to provide the welfare of the world which was a snare and a trap.
- The civil sacrifice of Herod, the Pharisees and the world of Rome made the word of God to none effect because they are covetous practices which is idolatry.

2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did [it] in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal. 20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly<06116 > for Baal. And they proclaimed [it].21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another. 22 And he said unto him that [was] over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. 23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal only.

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true(228 alethinos) worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship(4353 proskunetes) him.

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Acts 19:35 And when the townclerk(1122 grammateus) had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper<3511 serves temple> of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?

Hebrews 10:1 ¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again [made] of sins every year.

Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men."

Matthew 15:1 "Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition<3862> of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men."

1 Timothy 5:4 "But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite<287><591> their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 And these things give in charge(commanded), that they may be blameless. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

[Isidolatry-16] Covetousness is idolatry
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"

Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

[newreligious-17] Doctrines of men, ideologies, Say Lord Lord, Rituals and ceremonies
Religious
Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious(sebomai Worship) proselytes(a newcomer) followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Acts 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion (threskeia) I lived a Pharisee.

Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion(Ioudaismos), how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the Jews’ religion(Ioudaismos) above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious(thresko), and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion(threskeia) [is] vain. 27 Pure religion(katharos threskeia) and undefiled(amiantos-not defiled) before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted (undefiled-free from vice) from the world.

[Johnwy-18] What is the Bible about?
The term Religion appears five times but only once do we see mentioned in a good sense as Pure Religion.

Forms of Governments and law are constant topic in the Bible.

Babylon, the Bondage of Egypt and their flesh pots, Cities of Blood, eating the dainties of rulers and the Benefactors who exercise authority where people bite one another but the Kingdom of God was not of the "world" of Rome.

"This Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People." Attributed to the General Prologue to the Wycliffe Bible translation of 1384, and quoted by Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg.

[xchurches-19] What is Church
The ekklesia was called out and translated Church like the Church in the wilderness who were called Levites.

The early Church was functioning different than the Modern Church.

The early Church had a daily ministration that rightly divided bread from house to house which was the social safety net of the early Christians.

When there were dearths the Early Church received charitable contributions from early Christians that provided Social welfare through a network of faith.

Early Christians did not eat at the tables of Rome because even though they should have been for their welfare they were a snare and a trap.

Without the Corban of Christ and Corban of Moses which were provided by sacrifices of love/charity and freewill offerings the people would become merchandise and curse children.

The world used force, fear, and fealty to provide the welfare of the world which was a snare and a trap.

The civil sacrifice of Herod, the Pharisees and the world of Rome made the word of God to none effect because they are covetous practices which is idolatry.

[21] : Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

[worshipnt-22] Worship or not
2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did [it] in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal. 20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly<06116 > for Baal. And they proclaimed [it].21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another. 22 And he said unto him that [was] over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. 23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers<05647 serve > of Baal only.

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true(228 alethinos) worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship(4353 proskunetes) him.

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Acts 19:35 And when the townclerk(1122 grammateus) had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper<3511 serves temple> of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?

Hebrews 10:1 ¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again [made] of sins every year.

[worshipserve-23] Worship service
Exodus 33:10 "And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door."

[24] Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

[25] “When a symbol unmoors itself from what it symbolizes, it loses meaning. It becomes ineffective” Albert Einstein

[26] The more people unmoor the symbols of scripture from the intent of the author the more we become lost in the idolatry of our own imagination.

[27] 1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

[28] Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

[30] James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
