== Command ==

Jesus said many things which certainly can and should be counted as instructions from the King.<Ref name="king">[[Acts 17]]:7 "Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of [[Caesar]], saying that there is another king, one [[Jesus]]."</Ref> Are you doing what [[Jesus]] the [[Christ]] [[commanded]]?

One of the times when Jesus actually [[commanded]] His [[disciples]] to do something was a key element to the survival of Christians during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Yet, the [[modern Church]] and [[modern Christians]] not only disregard His words they often do the opposite just like the [[Pharisees]] and their [[corban]].



That question shall only be truly answered by what you do, not by what you say.<Ref name="doethv">{{doethv}}</Ref>

Jesus even said in [[Luke 6]]:46 "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" 

* How many times did Jesus ''command'' the people to do something?
* What words did scripture use to describe those commands?
* Are [[modern Christians]] following the commands of Christ?

The followers of Christ, because of their love for Him, would natural by that love accept whatever He told us to do as if it was a ''commandment''.<Ref name="keep">[[John 15]]:10 "If ye [[keep my commandments]], ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."</Ref>

But you might think that if Jesus actually [[commanded]] His ''[[disciple]]s'' to organize thousands of people in patterns of ''[[tens|ten]]'' families in "ranks<Ref name="prasia">{{4237}}</Ref> of a hundred" in [[Mark 6]] before they could receive any ''loaves and fishes'' there would great interest in knowing when, why , and for what purpose such a "command" was issued for what purpose. Yet, many [[modern Christians]] seem to be surprised today that such a strong word was used. 

Since the practice of networking in these small ''companies'' of ten families was so common with [[early Christians]] and many other free nations for centuries you might also think that Christians today would be striving to do the same. 

: [[Luke 9]]:14,15 "For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties<Ref name="fifty">{{4004}}</Ref> in a company.  And they did so, and made them all sit down."

At first, almost all Christians were Jews. Jews, including all the [[apostles]], knew the drill. 

: "To this day, at least among the Jews, all it takes to form a synagog is ten elders! Ten men, rather... they constitute a synagog and the elder who was chosen by the ten heads of household conduct the services. That’s the way it was."
: "The [[apostles]] as they went out established, Paul for example, church after church in one place after another and he appointed and ordained [[elders]], and he moved on."<Ref>"The World Under God’s Law, The Church Under God’s Law" by Professor Rushdoony.</Ref>
 
Jesus as [[Christ]] [[commanded]] that His disciples organize the people in these small groups of heads of families and in ''ranks''<Ref name="prasia">{{4237}}</Ref> of a hundred until all the people were connected in a [[network]] because the "kingdom of heaven is like unto a net".<Ref>[[Matthew 13]]:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:</Ref> And because it is the most practical way to [[daily ministration|set the table of the Lord]] to say nothing of gathering a free people in a hostile [[world]].
 

There is clear evidence that the [[early Church]] did organize in a network so so that they could consistently  ''rightly divide bread from house to house'' in the practice of [[Pure Religion]] and to provide assistance to Christians during these hard times through the aid brought by ministers like Paul and Barnabus during national [[dearth]]s, economic emergencies, and periodic persecutions. The people who claim to be ministers of Christ should and would be doing something very similar today but they depend on the rulers in government who [[exercise authority]] one over the other in [[covetous practices]] that take from some citizens by [[force]] to provide for others. 

: If Jesus told His [[appoint]]ed ministers to ''[[Feeding the Sheep|feed my sheep]]'' and [[care]] for the needy, providing a distribution of ''[[free bread|daily bread]] from house to house''<Ref>[[Acts 2]]:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and [[free bread|breaking bread]] from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,</Ref> without [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] to provide that [[daily ministration]] through the practice of what James calls [[Pure Religion]] in the service of a [[peculiar people]] by [[His Church]] they would be striving to do that too.''' 
: '''If Jesus told ''His [[appoint]]ed minister'' they had to [[Vow of poverty|give up their personal estates]], belong to Him alone not being part of the [[world]] and follow Him that you would see all those who are claiming to be the ministers of [[His Church]] today doing something similar.'''
: '''If Jesus condemned the [[Pharisees]] for their [[Corban]] which provided [[benefits]] to the people by way of ''men who called themselves [[benefactors]] but [[exercise authority|exercised authority]] one over the other'' and because they failed to attend to the [[weightier matters]] then those men who call themselves ministers of [[Christ]] but do not [[doers|do]] what He [[commanded]] may be the many [[workers of iniquity]] He warned us of and in need of [[repent]]ance.''' 

[[Image:Fract10s-100sc.jpg|400px|right|thumb|link=The Living Network|The most predominant form of [[government|free self-government system]] throughout history has been based on voluntary systems composed of a [[Network]] of what was sometimes called the "''[[tens]], hundreds, and thousands''". [[Early Israel]], the Teutons, Saxons, Lumbards and many others societies all followed this pattern including the [[early Church]] because Christ [[commanded]] it. This allowed them to provide a [[Daily ministration]] for the [[welfare]] of all [[early Christians]] through the practice [[Pure Religion]] which was the [[Corban]] of [[Christ]] which helped [[early Christians]] survive and thrive while the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] declined and fell. It is important to understand that the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] and the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] were [[welfare]] systems of [[Social Security]] and [[public welfare]] that makes the word of God to none effect. They also make the people [[merchandise]], [[curse children]] with debt and entangle you again in the [[yoke]] of [[bondage]] and the [[elements]] of the world. [[The Way]] of [[Christ]] is your only salvation.]]

It appears that the practices of the [[modern Church]] is drastically different than what the [[early Church]] did daily. [[Modern Christians]] are often doing things that [[early Christians]] were [[Christian conflict|persecuted]] for refusing to do.

We see the word [[commanded]] numerous times in the [[Bible]]. Sometimes it is men commanding other men sometimes it is God or [[Jesus]] making commands. Did Jesus ever command His disciples to do something important?

The first place we see the word ''commanded'' is in Genesis when God commanded man not to eat of the tree of Knowledge but only of the tree of life.<Ref>[[Genesis 2]]:16 "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."</Ref> It is probably just as important to understand what those [[trees]] are as it is to understand the word [[commanded]].

The [[Hebrew]] word [[commanded]] <Ref>{{06680}}</Ref> in [[Genesis 2]]:16 is in the form of VavYodTzadikVav from the Hebrew root word TzadikVavHey which is used to create the Hebrew word  ''commandment'', mitsvah, TzadikVavHeyMem.<Ref>{{04687}}</Ref>

=== Prostasso ===

There are several Greek words translated ''commanded'' in the New Testament and the first one is  '''''prostasso''''', which only appears 7 times.<Ref>{{4367}}</Ref> It is a word that means more to ''bid'' someone to do something or conform to some arrangement rather than a forceful order or command. It is a word that means "to assign or ascribe to, join to". Even the word "assign" or “assignment” comes from the Greek word "tasso".  The Greek word "pros" is preposition suggesting that to do something would be "to the advantage of" someone or something.

=== Keleuo ===


A third word in the Greek text translated [[commanded]] is ''keleuo'' <Ref> {{2753}} </Ref> which specifically does mean ''to command'' and appears some 27 times<Ref>: Matthew 14:9  And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded <2753> it to be given her.
: Matthew 27:58  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded <2753> the body to be delivered.
: Matthew 27:64  Command <2753> therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
: Luke 18:40  And Jesus stood, and [[commanded]] <2753> him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
: Acts 4:15  But when they had [[commanded]] <2753> them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
: Acts 5:34  Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded <2753> to put the apostles forth a little space;
: Acts 8:38  And he commanded <2753> the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
: Acts 12:19  And when [[Herod]] had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded <2753> that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
Acts 16:22  And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded <2753> to beat them.
: Acts 21:33  Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded <2753> him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
: Acts 21:34  And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded <2753> him to be carried into the castle.
: Acts 22:24  The chief captain commanded <2753> him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
: Acts 22:30  On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded <2753> the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
: Acts 23:3  Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest <2753> me to be smitten contrary to the law?
: Acts 23:10  And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded <2753> the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
: Acts 23:35  I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded <2753> him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
: Acts 24:8  Commanding <2753> his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
: Acts 25:6  And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded <2753> Paul to be brought.
: Acts 25:17  Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded <2753> the man to be brought forth.

: Acts 25:23  And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment <2753> Paul was brought forth.
: Acts 27:43  But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded <2753> that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:</Ref>, usually by people in positions of authority like Herod, Pilate, Festus or the chief captain. It is from  a primary Greek word ''kello'' meaning "to urge on". 

Peter uses the term "keleuo" in reference to Jesus giving him a command.<Ref>: Matthew 14:28  And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid <2753> me come unto thee on the water.</Ref>  And Jesus uses it in one of His Parables.<Ref>: Matthew 18:25  But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded <2753> him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.</Ref>
 
Jesus uses the term "keleuo" several times in order to direct His [[disciples]] and the people who sought to follow Him.<Ref>Matthew 8:18  Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment <2753> to depart unto the other side.
: Matthew 14:19  And he commanded <2753> the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
: Matthew 15:35  And he commanded <2753> the multitude to sit down on the ground.</Ref>


=== Entellomai ===

There is another word that means ''command'' which we find in the New Testament. The Greek verb ''entellomai''<Ref>{{1781}}</Ref>meaning "to order, command to be done, enjoin" is seen some 17 times in the text. 

The Greek word ''entellomai'' was used once in relationship to the last will and testament of Joseph concerning his bones. <Ref>[[Hebrews 11]]:22  By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment <1781> concerning his bones.</Ref>

Adversaries of Christ used the word twice to mock Jesus.<Ref>: [[Matthew 4]]:6  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give <1781> his angels charge <1781> concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
: [[Luke 4]]:10  For it is written, He shall give <1781> his angels charge <1781> over thee, to keep thee:</Ref>

The term was used four times in reference to [[Moses]] giving commands.<Ref>: [[Mark 10]]:3  And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command <1781> you?
: Matthew 19:7  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command <1781> to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
: John 8:5  Now Moses in the law commanded <1781> us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
: Hebrews 9:20  Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined <1781> unto you.</Ref>  

Jesus used the term 9 times concerning commands directed for us to obey.<Ref> Matthew 15:4  For God commanded <1781>, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
: John 14:31  But that the world may know that I love the [[Father]]; and as the Father gave <1781> me commandment <1781>, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
: Matthew 17:9  And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged <1781> them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
: Mark 11:6  And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded <1781>: and they let them go.
: Mark 13:34  For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded <1781> the porter to watch.
: John 15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command <1781> you.
: John 15:17  These things I command <1781> you, that ye love one another.
: Acts 1:2  Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments <1781> unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
: Acts 13:47  For so hath <1781> the Lord commanded <1781> us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.</Ref>

==This Pattern of Tens ==
[[Image:network4m.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The [[Kingdom  of God]] is from ''"generation to generation"'' and not just from ''[[The Congregation|congregation to congregation]]''.  But it was the responsibility of the people to organize themselves in [[free assemblies]]. The [[Feasts]] made this possible. As people gathered in the [[tuns]] they were able to ''love one another'' which is the only way to ''fulfill the law''<Ref>Romans 13:8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath '''fulfilled the law'''.
: Romans 13:10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore '''love is the fulfilling of the law'''.
: [[Galatians 5]]:14  For all the '''law is fulfilled''' in one word, even in this; Thou shalt '''love thy neighbour as thyself'''.
: [[James 2]]:8  If ye '''fulfil the royal law''' according to the scripture, Thou shalt '''love thy neighbour as thyself''', ye do well:</Ref> and families united by [[marriage]] and [[fellowship|friendship]] and meeting the challenges of a [[peculiar people]] who live by [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] through a [[perfect law of liberty]]. This is why Christ [[commanded]] that the people must first organize themselves in the [[tens]] like [[dry bones]] coming together.]]

This pattern of [[tens|tens, hundreds and thousands]] was used by [[Moses]] and Jethro and countless other nations throughout the ages. It was one of the most predominant forms of self-[[government]] used over the long history of mankind. 

It was a voluntary system used by [[Early Israel]], the Teutons, Saxons, Lumbards and many other societies. This simple pattern allowed them to provide a [[Daily ministration]] for the [[welfare]] for many people and for all [[early Christians]] through the practice [[Pure Religion]] which was the ''[[Corban of Christ]]'' which helped [[early Christians]] survive and thrive while the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]]  declined and fell and its [[covetous practices]] degenerated the [[masses]]. 

Each small group or "company" chose a leader<Ref>{{1588}}</Ref> of their group who would keep them connected to nine other groups. In this way, small intimate groups were able to organize a large multitude of people without having to [[exercise authority]] one over the other.

When it was used to attend to what Christ called the [[weightier matters]] it created the [[social bonds]] of a free society which kept the people free. 

There was going to be a need to know that there was proper division of the bread from ''house to house''<Ref>[[Acts 2]]:46  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,</Ref> which would aee the apostles overseeing after [[Pentecost]]. 

The purpose of organizing in this fashion was more than two-fold. The apostles would receive and distribute (''breaking'') what people were willing to share as we see in:

: [[Acts 2]]:46	And every day, they continued to gather together in the temple, breaking (klōntes | κλῶντες) bread from house to house, sharing their food with joy and simplicity of heart,
: [[Acts 20]]:7	On the first day of the week, when we had gathered to break (klasai | κλάσαι) bread, Paul addressed them, and since he intended to leave the next day, he continued his message until midnight.
: [[1 Corinthians 10]]:16	The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break (klōmen | κλῶμεν), is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
: [[1 Corinthians 11]]:24	and after giving thanks, he broke (eklasen | ἔκλασεν) it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

We see these patterns of welfare through a network of organized congregations of [[elders]] who were heads of families throughout the history of [[early Christians]] such as in the gatherings of [[Justin the Martyr]] and others.

<blockquote>
* “And the wealthy among us help the needy ... and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.”  "[[Justin the Martyr]]'s Apology" to the Emperor Antonius Pius in 150 AD, (Ch. 65-67)<Ref> alternate translation:
: “And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.” Chapter LXVII<Br>Geof T Emery interlinear:<Br> 6. Οἱ εὐποροῦντες δὲ καὶ βουλόμενοι κατὰ προαίρεσιν ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὃ βούλεται<Br>
The prospering and also wishing according to choosing each one the of himself what willing<Br>

</Ref>
</blockquote>

We certainly see Paul and Barnabas bring relief all over the Roman Empire during the [[Dearth|dearths]] and famines the swept across the landscape as Rome declined under corruption, inflation, and decay of the [[social bonds]] which [[masses|degenerated]] under the [[welfare State]] of the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]].

Without that well organized [[network]] of small intimate groups spread across the Roman Empire and beyond the [[daily ministration]] as we see being done in [[Acts]] would be impossible. 

Each company of [[elders]] would pick one [[elder]] to gather together with nine men like himself to create a small group of ten men who could oversee a righteous distribution to a hundred. 

The only alternative [[social safety net]] was those offered by [[Caesar]] or [[Herod]] or other [[dainties|rulers]] but we know those systems of [[welfare]] are a [[snare]] and "[[Corban|make the word of God to none effect]]". Besides, Christ told is we were not to be like the men of other governments who called themselves "[[Benefactors]]" of the people but [[exercise authority]] taking from your neighbor to provide "[[benefits]]" for you. That would be unacceptable to Christ because that would be [[iniquity]].


* [[Mark 6]]: 41 '''"And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all."''' 

The “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" of [[Hebrews 10]]:25 was exemplified  when the disciples were "[[commanded]]" by Jesus to ''make'' the people sit down in "ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties."<Ref>John 6:10 And Jesus said, [[4160 | Make]] the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
: [[Luke 9]]:15 "And they did so, and [[347|made]] them all sit down."</Ref> 


We see this same pattern of [[Tens]] when the [[disciples]] were told to make the people sit down by '''fifties in a company''' in [[Luke 9]]:14.<Ref>[[Luke 9]]:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by '''fifties in a company'''.</Ref> 

But this pattern of [[Tens]] was at essential at [[Pentecost]] when thousands upon thousands of Jewish citizens accepted [[Jesus]] as the [[Christ]] and king and upon their [[Baptism]]  were [[put out]] of the system of [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and [[Herod]] that was "making the word of God to none effect".

This organized gathering in [[Tens]] was to implement the [[welfare]] of [[The Congregation]] of the people, to provide the [[benefits]] for the people, of the people, and by the people's [[fervent charity]] freely provided. The disciples of Jesus through the intimate network of the [[early Church]] practiced [[Pure Religion]] through [[The Way]] of Christ by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] which bound the people together in the [[Social bonds]] of [[love]]. This righteous [[Corban of Christ]] would ''make the word of God to effect'' again.

The entire [[Christian conflict]] with [[Rome]] was rooted in the "union and discipline" of their network of [[Charity]]. The true [[Early Christian]] did not apply for [[benefits]] and [[dainties]] at the government [[temples]] of [[Rome]] nor did they take part in the [[legal charity]] of the [[Imperial Cult of Rome]] which was part of the  social [[welfare State]] provided through the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' who ''called themselves [[Benefactors]] but [[exercise authority|exercised authority]] one over the other.''<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref>

:  "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." [[Hebrews 10]]:25
