Government: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:11, 19 August 2023

The most predominant form of government throughout history has been based on voluntary systems composed of individual families who freely gather in a network of free assemblies. The people intentionally chose to form what was called the tens, hundreds, and thousands. The original nation of Israel, the Teutons, and many others societies all did this including the early Christians who gathered in this manner commanded by Christ so they could provide a Daily ministration in order to bind society over a vast area into a cohesive nation by love for one another instead of by force.
In the government of God Christ substituted taxes with charity, force with vountarism, allegiance with faith. This form of self-government which allowed the power of the "state" to remain with the individual was demonstrated in the practice of Pure Religion which was the Corban of Christ which set the people free.

Government narrowly defined

Government is presently defined as the governing body of a nation, state, or community.

The word is also defined as:

"the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed."

Which may include:

"the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people."

And:

"the group of people in office at a particular time; administration."

The word government is from the Greek word kuberman which means steer. It has come to mean rule or force due to a pervasive types of Statism which uses force or exercise authority one over the other.

We assume that government is always a matter of force by those who govern. But the word govern only means:

"conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people)."

Broader view

While a government may include "rulers" who exercise authority, no where do these definitions of "government" require a "ruler" who rules over the people. There is a rich history of governments and nations operating as diversified networks of voluntary systems of individuals living by the perfect law of liberty.

In fact, “our modern reliance on government to make law and establish order is not the historical norm.”^[1]

What if "the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed" only included people who did not exercise authority or "rule" one over the other?

What if "the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people" was the result of freewill cooperation of self governing individuals who governed their own choice without exercising authority or "ruling" one over the other?

What if "the group of people in office at a particular time" provided a daily ministration by voluntarism and charity through the perfect law of liberty without exercising rule one over the other?

What if conduct and policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people). was to not exercise authority one over the other?

What if it was the policy of a particular form of "government" to only serve the people without being rulers, through a voluntary system of public affairs where those people in government were not allowed to exercise authority one over the other?

Agreed

Most government types come about because of some form of Social contract in a direct or indirect form.

Most all government types include some form of centralized power in the hands of one or a small group of rulers who exercise authority one over the other. The amount of power may vary, as in the case of Minarchism versus Communism or Fascism.

The manner in which these "rulers' are established may also very such as monarchy verse a direct or indirect democracy.

They are established by forms of agreement or capitulation.

Powers

It is important to note all power of government originates in the individual or individual families.

Almost all stories of the origin of mankind begin with the idea of one man and one woman endowed by a creator with the right or power of choice.

This power, which comes in several forms, is often like the camels nose in the tent. Once some power or power of choice originating in individuals is granted or vested to a central government, it usually leads to more and more power relinquished by the people because the men who seek offices of power will desire more power.

purpose of government

According to John Locke, the main purpose of government is to protect the natural rights of individuals, such as life, liberty, and property or as the Declaration of Independence states, "the pursuit of happiness.

Locke believed that people are equal according to the Natural Law and have the right to protect those natural rights themselves. The rights are equal in society, even though some may have more property or resources, and therefore power than others. He argued that governments are necessary to ensure that everyone's rights are protected equally.

Government are created in the image of the people deriving their just powers from the tacit or direct consent of the people. As power increase in the ruling class they may begin to recreate the people. The nature of the institutions of government by default or design recreate or degenerate the people.

The limiting the power of governments through constitutions will require the people to religiously exercise more responsibility of choice in free assemblies.

A constitutional Republic often leads to Democracy and to other forms of Collectivism, and then Socialism which leads to Communism. A religious dependence on Altruism by the diligent Anarchist may produce a Viable republic or at least a Republican form of government functioning according to the Perfect law of liberty, which was The Way to set society free.

But there are many forms of government.

We find the word kubernesis^[10] translated government in 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."

Christ appointed a government that was not to exercise authority one over the other. But that "one form of government" was to provide benefits for the welfare of the people through Charity, or what was called Corban, made possible by the Freewill offerings of the people willing to practice Pure Religion instead of the Covetous Practices of most of the people of the World.

Civil Government

The civil government is the result of civil law and civil law is the result of the hearts and minds of the people.

The Civil Authority is the power of the people, over their government.^[11]

“The civil law is what a people establishes for itself.”^[12]

There are many forms of civil government but there are at least two basic types or approaches to civil government. Understanding civil law is essential to understanding civil governments.

All civil governments begin with civil rights being agreed upon by men.

All rights originate with the Creator of mankind. We see those rights as endowed by Nature and Nature's God.^[13]

Natural rights must exist before civil rights may be established. Natural rights are primary or original rights and maybe either individually held by everyman and passed from generation to generation through natural families.^[14]

Civil rights are rights established by civil government. Those governments may be formed by the civil powers being vested in a collective or a ruling body of law makers or even just a single dictator or king. The citizen then enjoys right more by privilege that natural rights.

Civil rights may also be established by mutual recognition of the entire society of citizens through custom and usage. Such societies are usually governments of voluntary participation where all rights and responsibilities of governance remain with every individual.

Understanding Republics and what types of Citizens may exist is important in understanding different types of Civil Rights. Israel at its beginning was one of the earliest forms of a republic.

The Levites represented the government but they did not rule over the people. In fact, the people only supported the Levites with a tithe "according to their service". This left the civil power of government in the hands of the people where there was no king and most all taxation or government support was voluntary. The power to force offerings to take care of the needy of society was not in the hands of a bureaucratic government but the people themselves. Since religion was how you take care of the needy of society, pure religion was caring for a societies welfare needs unspotted by the "bureaucratic governments of the world". This same type of system was used by the early Church.

Constitutional republics may vest some power in their leaders to rule over limited aspects of society. Once the voice of the people vest some of their power or right to rule themselves in a political office the tendency is for that power to grow and liberty to decline until the people cry out again.

Certainly, the election of Saul in 1 Samuel 8 shows those who study history what happens when you grant power to rulers. The Bible warns and prohibits alternative systems where men are ruling judges making laws and if men choose to elect a ruler there are limits you were to write in your constitution and have your priest read daily. The priests were to provide a system of appeals courts in their Cities of refuge.

“Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”^[15]

Compare these two types of civil government:

In one the government is supported by Freewill offerings of the people, usually in a network of small groups.^[16]

In the other the government is supported by compelled offerings called tribute or taxes on the use of property or labor provided through taxes.^[17]

In the early forms of civil society fact and law was determined by a gathering of the peers of a community in the form of became known as a Jury. It was the responsibility of every man to attend to the weightier matters of law.^[18]

In less free society men are chosen to judge the law as lawmakers or "Ruling judges".^[19]

In the former property rights are held by the individuals within families passed from generation to generation and the people are the state.

In the latter property rights are mere legal rights and held as part of One purse.

In the former the people govern themselves seeking righteousness tending 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.

One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.

If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.^[20]

The latter the people rejected God electing leaders to exercise authority one over the other to obtain benefits at the expense of their neighbor through their ruling Benefactors.

Description The Bigger the Government... the smaller the individual [Prager U] Time 5:17

Bigger government

In every society throughout human history the following relationship has held true: as government grows, human freedom and happiness shrinks. Best selling author, Dennis Prager puts it this way: "The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen." This has been true in Europe for decades and is becoming ever more so in the United States. But it's not the kind of nation, the Founding Fathers had in mind. Can we get back to the principles of liberty and individual responsibility? It's a big challenge. But first we have to recognize the problem.
