12 Radical rules of Christ

Early Christianity and the Church in the wilderness were both institutions of the God called The Way. They were an alternative form of government to the systems of Socialism of the world and their covetous practices and debt which make merchandise of men and curse their children in bondage. It was a way of love and sacrifice rather than Lasciviousness and selfishness, of forgiving and giving rather than force and taxation. The Living Network of record and the Church are here to help the people seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in the practice of Pure Religion.

We already addressed the Rules For Radicals written by Saul Alinsky but how do they relate to the moral rules of righteousness?

The way of Christ is The Way of righteousness which is radical to those who "with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence... having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... until they degenerate again into perfect savages..."

If you truly love Jesus, who was the Christ, you will want to do what He said and you will not want to do what He said not to do. If your love for Him is not true love you will make excuses for why you do not have to do what He said and what the early Church was doing.

Here are just twelve things that cover many of the doctrines and ordinances of Jesus who was the Christ.

1. Repent

2. Seek the Kingdom of God because you love Him

3. Seek the righteousness of God in your relationships with others

4. Sit down in the tens, hundreds and thousands making no rulers your Benefactors.

5. Forgive that you may be forgiveness

6. Love as in charity one another as he loved us which included rebuke and sacrifice.

7. Love your neighbor and your enemy as yourself. “If you love it, set it free.”

8. Keep the commandments if ye love Him and the Father

9. Judge not

10. Swear not

11. Keep your word, even when you are in bondage to the unrighteous mammon

12. Keep in faith persevering to the end.

If you are slothful and do not strive to follow these rules you may end up under tribute.

You may become merchandise if choose to covet your neighbor's goods through men who exercise authority.

You may become snared and curse children as a surety for debt.

God does not want to punish people with these rules or the Ten Commandments but is trying to teach people The Way of life.

To do contrary to the way of life or consent to having One purse is to run toward death.

To desire the wages of unrighteousness is to become workers of iniquity.

Wantonness may produce a long list of cause and effects which we may call punishments but the law is a gift and the spirit of the law giveth life.
