| V1 The wisdom of the parable of the ''vine and the branches'' is said to be "undiscoverable" by biblical commentaries. "Many guesses have been made"<Ref name="MacLaren">MacLaren Expositions Of Holy Scripture</Ref> And understanding the nature of a Vinyard and the purpose and process of pruning is essential. But understanding ''who and what is the vine''<Ref name="iam">{{iam}}</Ref> (repeated in V5) and that the [[Father]] is the "husbandman" is more important.
|-
| V3 The [[logos]] was spoken<Ref name="thingsspoken">{{thingsspoken}}</Ref> by Christ  through spirit.
|-
| V4 The [[Holy Spirit]] must ''[[abide]] in the vine'' in [[heart and mind]].
|-
| V6 Being cast forth as a branch into the [[fire]], and they are burned is about being cast into [[Strange fire|strange fire]] where people devour one another.
|-
|That [[Strange fire|strange fire]] is the [[social welfare]] of the [[State]] run by men who [[exercise authority]] one over the other.<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref>
|-
| Their [[tables]] of [[Welfare|welfare]] are a [[snare|snare and a trap]] that makes men [[merchandise]] and will [[curse children]] returning them to the [[bondage of Egypt]].
|-
| What is the differences between the [[Father]] of [[Jesus]] as the [[Son of God]] and [[Savior]] of [[Christians]] the [[Father]] of [[Caesar]] as the [[Son of God]] and [[Savior]] of [[Rome]] And was their [[conflict]]. Is it the means and method, what they [[doeth]].
|-
| At the core of that [[conflict]] was [[social welfare]] systems based on [[love]]<Ref name="agape">{{26}}</Ref>, [[charity]], and [[hope]] and another system of the [[welfare state]] that functions through [[force]] of men who [[exercise authority]] that impose the contributions through [[fear]] and [[fealty]].
|-
|Only a system that functions by voluntary [[fervent charity]] through the individual choice of [[love]] will produce [[fruit]] while systems of [[legal charity]] through [[force]]d contributions makes the [[Corban|word of God to none effect]].
|-
| An [[appetite]] of for the [[dainties]] of rulers through the [[covetous practices]] of [[Benefactors]] who [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] degenerated the [[masses]] and debilitated the [[fruit]] bearing capacity of society because it not only violated the Ten Commandments but was the antitheses of [[abide|abiding]] in His [[love]].
|-
| Christ [[commanded]] that His ministers require the people gather in [[network]]ed assemblies of [[symposium]].to [[care]] for one another through '''[[charity]]''' alone which is defining what '''[[love]]''' truly is.
|-
| The [[tables]] of the [[world]] are not only a [[snare]] but will make the people [[merchandise]] and [[curse children]], return them to the [[bondage of Egypt]].

|-

|-
| '''Are you practicing [[Pure Religion]]''' or the [[public religion]] that Paul and David said were the [[Welfare|welfare]] [[tables]] that are a [[snare|snare and a trap]]?
