Latest revision as of 19:06, 30 March 2023

The Daily bread which was rightly "divided from house to house" was provide in the early Christian community by a Corbanus of fervent Charity. This practice of "Pure Religion" by the early Church was a part of the "daily ministration" we see in Acts 6 and could include "food, clothing, and support" translated "meat" in Acts 2:46[1] As commanded by Christ it was not by way of the Corban of the Pharisees nor the "legal charity" of the world of Rome, FDR, nor LBJ which all make the word of God to none effect because they were covetous practices dependent upon "men who exercise authority one over the other" forbidden by Christ. Early Christians did not have an appetite for free bread of the "temples of the Roman State" and the habit of receiving those gifts, gratuities, and benefits at the expense of others, which as covetous practices will degenerate society. Throughout God's word, from the Ten Commandments to Proverbs, from the Prophets to the Apostles we have been warned but the Modern Church and their "blind guides" have returned to the "bondage of Egypt", become human resources, and curse children with debt with their appetite for the "legal charity" of the welfare state.
Does your Daily bread come by faith, hope and charity, or by force? Is the feast of your Passover filled with the leaven of the Pharisees.


Daily bread

  • Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
  • Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

When Jesus talked about how to pray he spoke of "our daily bread". He said we should ask our Father in heave to provide for it and he told Peter and the apostles to feed his sheep[2] and not be like the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other in the government of the other nations.

Jesus spoke clearly to the people who knew Caesar and the Senate were the "conscripted Fathers" of the nation because they provided daily bread for the people at their civil tables of welfare. Jesus declared, "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Matthew 23:9

This reference to daily bread by Benefactors who did not exercise authority nor the Covetous Practices of the world but love is a major theme of the Bible. Christ and John the Baptist and all the apostles talked about charity as the source of our daily bread.

Ezekiel 13 warns of vanity and lies that seduced and pollute my people with bread slaying souls that should not die so that souls that should die are able to live.[3]

The phrase "free Bread and circuses" (or bread and games) was used by Rome and many of those states who followed in the ways of Rome. Bread and circuses is from Latin: panem et circenses and is metonymic for a superficial means of appeasement.

In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or moral public policy, but through diversion; distraction; or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow wantonness of a populace, as an offered "palliative". [4]

At the height of government welfare in Rome where the public temples provided food and money to the poor Plutarch warned that these benefits reduce liberty[5] and would destroy the Roman people.[6]

Over two hundred years earlier Polybius warned the Roman people that when, "The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and ... accustomed to feed at the expense of others... they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master..."

Of course the Bible warns us about these covetous practices through rulers from Exodus[7] to Proverbs[8].

Peter and Paul and all the apostles gave us many warnings about coveting those benefits provided by the authority of government and who it would turn us into merchandise and curse children.


There is always a need for some form of social welfare to hold society in good health. There are two types of welfare used to provide for the needs of society.

Juvenal decried one of them as a simplistic motivation of common people with a disregard to the consequences to others.

"… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses."[9]

The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of the commoner to provide for the needy through a personal choice and sacrifice.

Basically, "bread and circuses" or free bread or government benefits describes the system of religious or public welfare of the Roman State which was run through the Temples.

Public religion has always been at the Roots of the Welfare State. It from time to time included all social welfare provided by the Patronus, e.g. Our Father, of Rome from free bread and general food supplies including wine and surplus cheese to actual cash or even health care provisions and education.

The funds collected were legislated as a tax to the members who signed up for these systems of qorban in Rome or Corban in Judea. Members were required to contribute. The Baptism of Herod set up a similar system through the Temple he built. The funds collected were public but considered sacred. But they were not the result of charity and love but enforced by exercising authority of the state.

The funds were held in a treasury also called by some Corban and administered by the public system of welfare through the synagogues. Rome of course was doing the same through their own temples and to satisfy other people within his government Herod also bill the temple of Roma. Because they were not dependent upon charity but upon contract they were called the unrighteous mammon by Christ. Eventually that system showed decay and corruption that ate up the funds of the treasury and the entrusted contribution to that system until it was bankrupt.

The same has proved true for the modern systems which followed these principles of social welfare which have proven not to be secure. FDRs New Deal and LBJs war on on poverty or Great Society were a turning away from what was once the American ideal.

Righteous bread of our Father

Christians obtained their daily bread through there own system of charitable welfare as prescribed by Christ[10] and John the Baptist.[11]

Of course the Apostles and eventually Paul, provided daily bread[12] by appointing men elected by the people to handle the charitable contributions of the people under the overseer-ship of the Apostles and other ministers of the Church.

The Eucharist of Christ was not merely a magical wafer but the bread of sharing with one another in love.[13] Bread was both the symbol and the staff of life. Sharing it represented the social welfare of the Christian society.

Tables that are a snare

This Private welfare would eventually produced the Christian conflict that became the fuel for persecution with the outlaw of private religion.

Paul talks about tables being a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock quoting David[14] and the people's eyes would be darkened so that they would not see.

How can a table be a snare?

What are the tables which are filled with things sacrificed to "devils"?[15]

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus and the early Church advocated a we get our daily bread by way of a Daily ministration that was dependent on fervent charity rather or only and it was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees and Rome.

Fervent and legal charity

The Modern Christian does not provide a Daily ministration, the Daily bread for the needy of the Churches they establish. Instead he is willing to covet his neighbors goods through his elected Benefactors who help you take a bite out of one another.[16]

This legal charity does not only weaken the masses it is a covetous practices that makes the people Merchandise and curse their children. They have need of Repentance. The Eucharist of Christ was not just a wafer but Daily bread provided through a Daily ministration of faith, hope, and charity.

Real Christians did not eat the free bread of Rome but the Flesh and blood of Christ provided by charity and love. The Christian conflict with Rome determined if the were desiring to be doers of the word and not hearers only. They are seeking the kingdom by 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.

Bread and blood

"Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD." Psalms 14:4; Psalms 53:4
"O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. 7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.8 ¶ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it." Psalms 80:4
"For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 20 ¶ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 22 For they [are] life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." Proverbs 4:17
"If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:" Proverbs 1:11
