This reference of the story in Genesis being an allegory about the two sons of [[Abraham]] and the fact that one came from a free woman and one came from a bond woman is not be unique in scripture.  
In [[Galatians 4]]:24 we see, "Which things are an [[allegory]]: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar."


An [[allegory]] is  "a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one." It is "a didactic narrative" and can include what is simply "a moral fable." The essential or viable purpose of a didactic narrative is to be instructive, teaching or intending to teach a moral lesson. If we focus to on the details of the story treating it as only a historical narrative we may miss the point the author is making.
The word [[allegory]] appears once in the [[Bible]] and in the Greek is the word ''allegoreo''.<Ref> 238 ~ἀλληγορέω~ allegory \@al-lay-gor-eh’-o\@ from [[243]] and agoreo (to harangue, cf 58); v AV-be an allegory 1; 1

While we may agree with Paul in [[Galatians]] and believe the story of Abraham to be true the [[Bible]] the Bible is full of allegories that are trying to teach us the ''moral code'' of God's Spiritual identity. That ''moral code'' is the character of name of God and manifests itself  the deeds or works of men as [[social virtues]].
A synonym for an allegory is the word parable which appears in the old and new testaments. In the Old Testament the word parable is also translated proverb<Ref>{{04912}}</Ref>. In the New Testament the Greek word is ''parabole'' <Ref>{{3850}} </Ref> which is generally a story like an allegory which is a  ''comparing or comparison of one thing with another''.


An allegory is a [[metaphor]] whose vehicle may be a character, place or event, representing real-world or spiritual issues. It can readily illustrate complex ideas and concepts in ways that may not be comprehensible or memorable to the readers or hearer of the story but because the story and its images are memorable it is past down from generation to generation.

The people in [[bondage]] in Egypt came out under the authority of [[Moses]] who could have reigned as king and high-priest. But he empowered the people to manage their government without any [[No king|kings]] to rule over them. Almost all the support for the [[government]] was based on [[freewill offerings]] in the form of [[tithe]]s rather than [[tribute|taxes]], a voluntary army, peoples courts, and an [[cities of refuge|appeals court]] consisting of [[Levites|public servants]] who served the people through [[charity]].

Nothing makes men [[gods]], who can rule one over the other and [[force]] the service of other men, more than debt.

With the unmooring of the symbol the objects and metaphor within an allegory become idols and the instruction of the author is lost to the sophistry of the Satans of the world.

In Galatians 4:24 we see, "Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar."

The word allegory appears once in the Bible and in the Greek is the word allegoreo.[1] This reference is of the story in Genesis being an allegory about the two sons of Abraham and the fact that one came from a free-woman and one came from a bondwoman is not unique in scripture.

A synonym for an allegory is the word parable which appears in the old and new testaments. In the Old Testament the word parable is also translated proverb[2]. In the New Testament the Greek word is parabole [3] which is generally a story like an allegory which is a comparing or comparison of one thing with another.

An allegory is "a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one." It is "a didactic narrative" and can include what is simply "a moral fable." The essential or viable purpose of a didactic narrative is to be instructive, teaching or intending to teach a moral lesson. If we focus too much on the details of the story treating it as only a historical narrative we may miss the point the author is making.

While we may agree with Paul in Galatians by believing the story of Abraham to be true, the Bible is full of allegories that are trying to teach us the moral code of God's Spiritual identity. That moral code is the character of the name of God and manifests itself by the deeds or works of men as social virtues.

An allegory is a metaphor whose vehicle may be a character, place or event, representing real-world or spiritual issues. It can readily illustrate complex ideas and concepts in ways that may not be comprehensible or memorable to the readers or hearer of the story but because the story and its images are memorable it is passed down from generation to generation.

The people in bondage in Egypt came out under the authority of Moses who could have reigned as king and high-priest. But he empowered the people to manage their government without any kings to rule over them. Almost all the support for the government was based on freewill offerings in the form of tithes rather than taxes, a voluntary army, peoples courts, and an appeals court consisting of public servants who served the people through charity. Jesus brought the people out of the bondage of Judea to the system of Corban set up by Herod and the Pharisees and even the bondage of Rome because He was another king as stated in Acts 17:7 whose kingdom was not of the world of Pontius Pilate.

In Galatians 4:8 Paul asks the Celts of the Galatians, "Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

This reference is undoubtedly to the same unmooring of the symbols and metaphors of the Bible from the moral or political instructions intended. The Sabbath is a typical example of this unmooring and its effects. The commandment to keep holy the Sabbath which we see in Exodus 20:8 includes further instructions in Exodus 20:9 [4] and an allegorical reference to why in Exodus 20:11 [5] expressing a natural order of things.

The previous commandments of Exodus 20 were about not having any other gods or becoming subject to them where you had to serve them or claiming that you served and worshiped the God of heaven when you were obligated to "serve the other gods" of the world, the "fathers of the earth" and the "men who call themselves benefactors who exercise authority one over the other", all of which are contrary to Jesus the Christ who said it was not to be that way with us and the "Will of the God" which we must obey to be counted as the brethren of Christ.[6] This dual status or two masters ends in the inevitable reality of taking His name in vain because you cannot serve two masters.

Nothing makes men gods, who can rule one over the other and force the service of other men, more than debt. The commandment concerning the Sabbath is about working first and then taking your earned rest second. Keeping the Sabbath is an instruction about staying out of debt to the men who will become the gods many of the world. But those who unmoor the symbols of the instructions and keep days like the Sabbath often find themselves in the bondage of debt entangled in the elements of the world even though they observed what they have misinterpreted to be the Sabbath.

Many people — if not most — who consider themselves Sabbath keepers, by the keeping of days have fallen into debts and become surety for that debt both as individuals and as nations, where they must bow down and serve the gods many, of the world.

Many look to the scriptures for answers and rightly so. But when people read words their mind is choosing one or more of the definitions of a word to determine the truth. They are accepting or rejecting information as allegory or technically historical account.

The dendritic tree of knowledge.

Allegory is also defined as a symbol. Words are symbols of ideas and in Hebrew even the letters are symbols for an idea that is contained in the word. The language is designed to create a multitude of metaphors that lend themselves to sophistry where trees were a source.

To honor your Father and Mother means to literally "fatten" or enrich them. Today, most Modern Christians, because of their private interpretation of the scripture and their wantonness and desire for the wages of unrighteousness, depend upon Social Security and the welfare state[7] of those to take care of their parents which was the sin condemned by Christ concerning the Corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect.

In the Old Testament, the "Kidney fat" given to the Levites was actually the rein of control of their freewill offerings of the people in the practice of pure Religion rather than the public religion of Pharaohs of the world.

And also a pile of stones refers to a council of men as is explained in the article concerning Sophistry.

The Modern Christians say they believe in God the Father who art in heaven but through covetous practices they have returned to the bondage of Egypt are employed by the gods of the world and not only become merchandise but have cursed their children as a surety for their debt. Their daily bread is not rightly divided by the ministers of God, Lively Stones of a Living Altar in a daily ministration of charity but is provided by those Benefactors of the world who exercise authority through force.

The words of the Bible can be easily misinterpreted because of the wide range of meanings which can be applied. We may look at the context of history, the opinions of scholars, or our own experience and observation but, Relying on a spirit to guide us is what we are all reduced to do no matter what else we use in that process.

The spirit that we let live in us will filter all we see, read or hear. The understanding which results from our studies and observations will be the results of that spirit. Is it the Holy Spirit of God or the legions of other spirits who desire to influence and even control us?

Peter[8], Paul[9], James[10] and John[11] all warned the New Covenant Church that what they were doing and not doing would reveal the truth of their claim to faith in God and His Holy Spirit.

Over the centuries thousands of sects and denominations have risen among those who study scripture, however only the Holy Spirit of God can actually guide people into becoming a peculiar people and allow them to enter the Kingdom of God at hand and be known as the living.

To find the answers, we must seek and strive to do what Jesus said the way He said to do it... Including 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.

  7. ↑ the Roots of the Welfare State" is the covetous practices of looking to the "fathers of the earth" who use force rather than faith and taxes rather than charity and the "benefactors who exercise authority one over the other" through socialism.

    2 Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
  9. ↑ 2 Timothy 3:1 ¶ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10 ¶ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
    Ephesians 5:1 ¶ Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3 ¶ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 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. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
    "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1 Galatians 5:15 "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
    1 Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
    11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.".
  10. ↑ James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
    James 5:12 ¶ But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
  11. ↑ 1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
    1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
    1 John 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
    2 John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
    2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
    3 John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth... 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
  12. ↑ Matthew 20:25-26 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
    Mark 10:42-43 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
    Luke 22:25-26 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
