The way: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:34, 7 March 2024

The early church and the Church in the wilderness were both institutions who God called out to serve the people. Moses called out men who were on the *Lord's side*^[1] and those who were known as the Levites came out. Just as Jesus who called out His disciples to serve people in the way of faith, hope, and charity and were to be known ad the called out a.k.a. ekklesia, translated the church.
The Way of God creates the social bonds of the Kingdom of God and His righteousness so that all may be free souls under God.
The way of the world and an appetite for the wages of unrighteousness are a snare and makes the word of God to none effect.
The early church appointed by Christ rightly divided bread from house to house in a pattern commanded by Jesus through a daily ministration provided by charity as required by the practice of pure religion.
While the world offered free bread as the wages of unrighteousness provided by "men who exercised authority one over the other".
The table of the world was set by forced contributions of which Christians would not eat for they knew by the words of Christ, the warnings of the apostles, David and Paul, Proverbs and Peter that what should have been for their welfare was a snare and would make them merchandise and curse children. The table of Christ was set by charity and provided hope through the Eucharist of Christ and His perfect law of liberty and love.

The Way

All the followers of Jesus and what they were doing was not called Church nor was it originally called Christianity.^[2]

What they were doing was called "the way". "The Way" that they sought and followed was different than the way of the Pharisees and their Corban which made the word of God to none effect. One was a way of righteousness and the other was the way of error.^[3]

And certainly different than the way of the world of Rome with its idolatry and covetous practices.^[4]

The distinctive difference between the way of Jesus and the rest of the nations was love and virtue. His way did not depend on those Covetous Practices that Peter said would make you Merchandise^[5] and would curse your children.^[6]

It did depend on faith, hope, and the charity of the people who sat down in free assemblies based upon the ancient pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands and practiced what James called pure Religion.

What did that look like?

Paul said this arrangement according to the perfect law of liberty with the mutual love and forgiveness of Christ provided a daily ministration of righteousness for all the believers.

And Jesus said we should seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and attend to the weightier matters.

"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." (Genesis 18:19)

What way is your way

The modern Church has been slothful in the Way of Christ. For centuries they have been creeping in a false gospel. deceiving the people who now have returned to the mire becoming again entangled in the yoke of bondage through the covetous practices of the world of men like Caesar and FDR.

The systems of welfare the world now offers could be called public religion. The people have been led back into the bondage of a welfare state that depends upon the instituted rule of force, fear, and fealty. Jesus said we were not to be like those governments of the other nations because if people become accustomed to living at the expense of others, depending for their livelihood on the property of others we would be changed.

This would alter the thinking of the people so they would again be in need of repentance. The modern Christians have gone the way of the Nicolaitan and Balaam despite all the warnings of the Apostles, all the prophets, the doctrines of Jesus, and even the wisdom of Polybius and Plutarch.

It has always been the covetous practices of the "world" like the "corban" of the Pharisees which forced the offerings of the people "making the word of God to none effect" and condemned by Jesus because it did not bear fruit of the love taught by Christ.

Christ called out His disciples, teaching them the way of righteousness to serve the people in free assemblies through faith, hope, and charity so no one would should have to pray to the Fathers of the earth in Rome for their free bread which was the wages of unrighteousness.

Though they promised them liberty but serve corruption because their welfare was a snare and a trap that entangled the people into the elements of bondage.^[7]

The kingdom

The early Church was, an alternative form of government to the systems of Socialism of the world and their covetous practices and debt which make merchandise of men and curse their children in bondage. It was a way of love and sacrifice rather than Lasciviousness and selfishness, of forgiving and giving rather than force and taxation. The Living Network of record and the Church are here to help the people seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in the practice of Pure Religion.

Jesus said he would take the kingdom of God, the reigns of government,^[8] from those who sat in the seat of Moses^[9] because they say and do not.^[10]

Then Jesus as the Christ took the kingdom^[11] from the Pharisees because the way they were going was not bearing fruit^[12] nor were they attending to the Weightier matters.

Rome had once been a Republic after its own revolution when they opposed the Tarquinian kings for their usurpation and abuses. Over time their new found success allowed the people to slowly become apathetic. Polybius and Plutarch write of their degeneration first into an indirect democracy and then a socialist state. Socialism is the religion you get when you loose sight of Pure Religion.

Israel as a nation was also a Republic after Moses led the people out of the bondage of Egypt where they were employed by the Pharaoh. They were told by God to never go back that way again. In Israel taxes in the form of tithings were voluntarily paid to the public minister/Levite of your choice according to his service providing a Corban through freewill offerings that made the word of God to effect. The voice of the people failed to abide by the instructions of Deuteronomy 17 and rejected God in 1 Samuel 8 bringing in the foolishness of rulers through taxation.

Herod followed the ways of Rome which degenerated into an Imperial cult. John the Baptist offered another way to think and go. His Baptism was an alternative to the tyranny which was growing in the world at that time.

At first John thought Jesus, his cousin, would take his place preaching and baptizing people into this alternative way to the benefits by force of government offered by Herod and the rest of the world. But while he was in prison he began to realize that Jesus was to be both priest and king.^[13]

Jesus was hailed as the highest son of David by the people and as king he fired the moneychangers who were the porters of the temple. By Pentecost the people would traditionally reorganize their national government which was supported by freewill offerings in patterns of tens according to the perfect law of liberty.

The way of Christ and the daily ministration of the Church He appointed brought the people together as a peculiar nation. Through The Blessed Strategy of Christ they were able to survive and thrive during the decline and fall of the Roman empire which was the failure of the unrighteous mammon and the fathers of the earth.

The Modern Christian sometimes seems oblivious to the Christian conflict with governments like Rome. What the early Church was persecuted for the modern Church does daily. What Christians did daily the modern Christian does not do. Instead they look to Benefactors who exercise authority to provide what Christ told us to do. As Jesus and the Apostles said men will bring in damnable heresies and people would be caused to stray from God's way. That actually means that many people who think they are Christians and Believers are actually Not, instead they are under a strong delusion and workers of iniquity, they are not saved but instead will be cast away.

Luke 13:22-30 KJV - And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

Jesus condemned their system of Corban. Once you understand things like what Corban had become under Herod along with the meanings of terms like Religion, Baptism and Gospel of the kingdom as they were meant to be used and why His kingdom was not of the world a clearer understanding of the Bible may reveal itself. We can read these same words of Christ in a new light and seek His ways by gathering with others in a Network of people who seek to love their neighbor as themselves through Faith, Hope and Charity and the Perfect law of liberty.

How people bind themselves together often determines not only their success as a society but the nature of their government and therefore their society. When the people chose to have a ruler over them Samuel warned them of the Saul Syndrome and what kind of society and government the people would have if they chose that way. This Mark of Cain which people accept alters them and their society.

The Way of Christ is based on fellowship through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty. If we examine the way of the early Church and the Modern Christians we will see that many are going the wrong way and have a need to repent.

Seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness is seeking a living Network of people gathering to serve out of love through charity in hope. If we will return to His way to govern ourselves He will hear our cries.

What is The Way?

The ways of many governments are the ways of the world which is pride, oppression, and force. The Way of the Kingdom of God is Baptized in the humble love of the righteousness of God and the patient acceptance of the responsibility of the birthright in His faith in service according to the Perfect law of liberty. Those who love the covetous ways of the world and are willing to sell their birthright for the wages of unrighteousness "despise dominion and speak evil of dignities".^[14]

The choice between these two Welfare types will determine the fate of you, your family and your society but that choice is made deep within your heart and mind. We cannot save ourselves through our own proud effort but will only be saved by the Grace of God.^[15] The way a society cares for their needy forewarns by which spirit they will be governed.

Those who seek the righteousness of God do not seek the wages of unrighteousness but neither and they save themselves. They can only repent. They can come together to serve and to save others as Christ came with giving and forgiving. Governments of the world today exercise authority over their subjects and compel the offerings of the people through fear and force through men who call themselves Benefactors, but Christ said it was not to be that way with us.

Social Welfare must be by Freewill offerings for society to be free. To take from your neighbor, to satisfy your desires and even your needs at the expense of others is a Wantonness way and covetous that will make you Merchandise and will curse children. Biting one another will bring the Benefits of Bondage and will be a snare to your body and soul.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

The chaos

Many want to blame the Governments of the world for the chaos, corruption, an the cabals, corporations, and the conspirators of history.

It is not just foolish men in governments that are catapulting events to destruction and doom.^[16]

This is an agenda professed and published by those possessed of evil.

The enemy has bought your leaders and probably your elections.

The US baited Russia into the war as it did many of the Arab countries before because corrupt corporate interest who wanted the war and others who thrive on conflicts.

They are destroying America with open borders and over spending, with [[schools as tools|public schools and legal charity, with toxins in our food, our water, and drugs both legal and illegal.

And it is the people's fault.

They are slothful in The Way of Righteousness and in attending to the "weightier matters" and refuse to repent of their covetous practices.^[17]

The "social bonds" of a free society "degenerate" with their appetite for the "benefits" and "dainties" of governments which "exercise authority" one over the other.^[18]

The Modern Christian, Jew, and Moslem are blind to the way of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the Christ and they are led by their avarice, the wicked ,and the blind.^[19]

Because those who were Baptized of Christ at Pentecost were "put out" of the synagogues of the Pharisees^[20] the system of welfare they provided through the Corban of the Pharisees and the government temple of King Herod was no longer available. Pentecost became a time to organize congregations for the charitable practices of Pure Religion in a network of servant ministers called the Church appointed by King Jesus in patterns of tens as He commanded. These free assemblies with the "called out" who unlike the princes and rulers of the gentiles followed The Way as an appointed Kingdom of God at hand. Those bondservant of Christ were not rulers *who exercise authority one over the other* nor were the people bound by social compact or contracts which *entangle the people in the element of the world* but the Early Church was bound by love through charity and hope.

Do and Don't

What are the "Do's and Don'ts" of the Church established by Christ according to the Doctrine of Jesus?

How or what should we do to be counted as Doers of the Word rather than the workers of iniquity that Christ says he will turn away?

Are modern Christians doing what Christ commanded?

The early Church was self-organized in small groups of ten elders. An elder was simply an elder or head of a family. An Elder was not an office of a church organization. Every elder was a part of a free assembly, but did not exercise authority one over the other.

Those small groups of "tens" were networked together in those free assemblies that were able to provide a daily ministration which included emergency aid during "dearths" all over the known world, through men like Paul and Barnabas, that was funded by charity alone. Christians knew that if you used force or legal charity rather than "fervent charity" to provide such daily bread, what we call today welfare benefits, for your society you were not practicing Pure religion but rather public religion which makes the word of God to none effect.

Christians were able to survive and thrive during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire because of the do's and don't's of Christ.

So, we know that Christ commanded His disciples to organize in the tens, hundreds and thousands.^[21]

We know that the history of the Church followed this pattern, binding the people together in love and charity with the hope Christ gave us.^[22] And He clearly told us to don't be like the governments of the Gentiles who offer the people benefits but use force, fear, and fealty to provide those wages of unrighteousness. ^[23]

Do Church

"Our dream is that we fundamentally change the way we do church. That we take out a clean sheet of paper and we rethink all of our old assumptions. Replace it with new insights. Insights that are informed by research and rooted in Scripture. Our dream is really to discover what God is doing and how he’s asking us to transform this planet." Greg Hawkins

Do you do Church?

What does it mean to "do Church"?

What did the early Church do for a daily ministration?

What is the legal definition of the Church?

Elders were heads of families.

What were the temples of Rome?

How is Rome like us today?

The concept of church today in the minds of the people and their preachers does not appear to be in accord with what Christ intended nor what the early Church did. The early Church could not have accomplished what it did if it was not for the little group of Called out ministers to whom Christ appointed a kingdom. He took the kingdom^[24] from the Pharisees and appointed it to His little flock to be servant ministers of a government that operated by charity instead of force.

Modern Christians are not dependent upon charity but get their daily bread, welfare, social security, Medicare, Medicaid and many other benefits from men who call themselves benefactors but borrow from the future of their children and their neighbors' children through an exercising authority in order to provide them. True believers in Christ should not apply to such men, but instead have faith in the system of hope and charity designed by their Father who art in heaven.

The reason they have little or no other choice but to apply to the world is because the modern Church today is not doing what Christ the King said to do. They are not the ekklesia of Christ. They are not His Church. It is time to repent and seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.

The truth is that, to most modern Christians, Jesus is not their Lord. They have actually made themselves merchandise and have cursed their children with debt as Peter warned. They find themselves back in a bondage worse than that of Egypt. This is because people are not doing what the early Church did, nor what Jesus required of the called out ministers of His kingdom.

If people are not striving to build an international network that can feed His sheep by the exercise of "pure Religion" through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty, which is what His Church was designed to do and what the early Church was clearly doing, then they are not really seeking the kingdom of God nor His righteousness and their faith is possibly not real faith.

Any group that is not striving to help the people become independent from the need for the benefits of world Governments is not the Church. They likely do not know Christ and might be workers of iniquity.

Are you a part of a network of congregations linked through love by ministers who are providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through charity like we see the early Church doing?
Are you a part of that ministry "called out" by Christ that actually feeds His sheep through the charitable institution He appointed, like we see the early Church doing?
Is your network of ministers having you gather in the pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands like Christ "commanded" and we see the early Church doing?

Home Church

This idea of doing Church is about doing the will of the Father and following the way of Christ. Seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness is leading people toward that peculiar government of God.

What is tithing really about, and what is its real purpose?

So, we need to take a deeper look at Home church and what it is like to Do Church.

The way of error
2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"

Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."

Covetousness is idolatry

- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

Proverbs 6:3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. 4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

↑ Destroyers of liberty
"That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities. But this mischief crept secretly and gradually in, and did not openly make it's appearance in Rome for a considerable time." Plutarch's Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.) This would include Julius Caesar and eventually Augustus Caesar which is why Plutarch also reported, “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.” This was a major theme of the Bible:

There were tables of welfare which were both snares and a traps as David and Paul stated and Peter warned would make us merchandise and curse children. Proverbs 23 told us not to not eat the "dainties" offered at those tables of Rulers and Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10 we cannot eat of those tables and the table of the Lord. We are not to consent to their covetous systems of One purse or Corban which makes the word of God to none effect.

We know when the masses become accustomed to those benefits of legal charity which are the rewards of unrighteousness provided by benefactors who exercise authority and the Fathers of the earth through the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and curse children as a surety for debt.

[1] Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD’S side? [let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

[2] Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

[Errorbn-3] The way of error
2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"

Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."

Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."

The way of the world is the way of Cain and His city-state, the Corban of the Pharisees and the cities of blood, Nimrod and the Nicolaitan, Babylon and Balaam, Sumer and Sodom, Pharaoh and the foolishness of Saul, and more recently FDR and LBJ and all the welfare States who use legal charity which is not The Way of Christ, the Kingdom of God nor the righteousness of God.

[Isidolatry-4] Covetousness is idolatry
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"

Ephesians 5:5 "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."

1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

[6] For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

[5] 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.

[6] 2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

[7] 2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

[8] Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

[9] Matthew 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:

[10] Matthew 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

[11] John 19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
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.

[12] Luke 13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

[13] Luke 7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. 22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. 26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

[14] Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion <2963>, and speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government <2963>. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

[15] Deuteronomy 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Psalms 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

Proverbs 6:3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. 4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Proverbs 29:23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
