These terms like [[Altars|altars]] of stones or earth are [[metaphor]]s for elements of a system by which men may remain free souls under God the Father in Heaven with no other [[Gods|gods]] before them.

Christ chose ministers to serve the people who were seeking the kingdom of God.
The Family was the creation of God. When families gathered in free assemblies by their mutual witness and [[Freewill offerings|freewill offerings]] to their Minister of testimony, or Minister of record, they formed the Congregation of testimony or Congregation of Recorded Elders [[CORE]] of the kingdom, and therefore the the Church. At the head of every family was the eldest living Father of that family unit. They were known as [[Elders]].
Those [[Elders]] chose a minister of good report to help keep their fellow congregants connected. The minister looked out for their needs and kept them connected to the rest of the people of God. This peculiar bond of the people forms a literal nation, connected by their love and caring for one another as much as they care for themselves.
Those [[Minister of Record|Ministers of Recorded Elders]] took care of the needy of that society in a network of mutual service as they taught the ways of Christ. They were to receive, preserve, and propagate His doctrines and ordinances as a body or community, united under one form of government by the profession of one faith, and the observance of the same rituals and ceremonies.
Those rituals and ceremonies were nothing more than the ways in which they took care of one another and conducted themselves in the [[World|world]] without applying to the [[Fathers]] of that [[World|world]] and their [[Benefactors]].
All governments take care of the needs of the people they serve, but they do not all provide the benefits of that society by faith, hope and charity, nor by the perfect law of liberty. The Church is commanded not to [[Exercises authority|exercise authority]] one over the other, yet it is defined as one form of government.
As ministers one to another, we are commanded to feed the sheep who follow Christ and the ways of His kingdom. Who is truly a minister of Christ? How will we know them? Can we ordain men as ministers of Christ, of His Church?
: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." John 15:16
The Ministers of God are ordained of God, but as the seekers of His kingdom, each of us must learn to recognize who is God's minister and who is not. Every Elder is a minister and king of his own home, but to become and to remain free people under God, every family must seek to serve their fellow brothers in Christ by serving one another.
: "... In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." 2 Corinthians 13:1
As God writes upon our hearts and upon our minds, we should learn to recognize the ministers of God; and in bearing witness to our faith in God we may also bear witness to those who serve Him. That witness is the covering every minister needs to do his job in the [[World|world]]. And that witness must be a tangible record to keep the Minister and the [[World|world]] separate or holy.
God desires that the diligent people who live by His love remain free souls under God. The [[minister]]s who facilitate the Love of Christ in the daily ministration to the people are the true servants. The ministers that send the people to men who call themselves [[benefactors]] but exercise authority, take the Lord's name in vain. It is the responsibility of the people and true ministers of God to bear witness to the Father by bearing witness to each other.
God establishes His Spirit, but the [[World|world]] does not see things of the Spirit; so we have created a chain of authentication where the people may bear witness to their faith in God and His ways of righteousness by bearing witness to one another in a [[Sacred Purpose Trust]].

"Feed my sheep!"
Pastors should be like shepherds who tend to all the welfare needs of the people in a daily ministration of faith, hope, and charity, so that none of the sheep of Christ have to eat at the tables of legal charity provided by the exercising authority of the Fathers of the earth.[1]
Before Jesus was able to provide the people with loaves and fishes in Mark 6:39 He "commanded" His disciples to "make" the people sit down in Tens. And then those groups were to organize in companies upon companies in divisions and "ranks" of "fifties and hundreds".
Christ also told His disciples not to be like the rulers and princes of the Gentiles who provided benefits by exercising authority one over the other.
Everyone who got the Baptism of Christ was "put out" by the ordinance of the Pharisees of the Jewish synagogue system which was also composed of ten families through which they provided welfare with the "Corban" of the people.
Christ appointed a kingdom to His "called out" group He called His "little flock" to be ministers or servants to the people in "free assemblies" not rulers like the "benefactors" of the "world" who "exercise authority". Every man should be led by the Holy Spirit to gather in order to love one another. The minister is supposed to be serving by making or requiring the people voluntarily organize themselves in Companies of tens, fifties and hundreds, and thousands so that people may love one another through daily ministration in the practice of Pure Religion as we see the early Church doing in history for centuries.
If all the people who say they are Christians were actually doing what Christ commanded, socialism would be obsolete and no one could be or would be exploited. Socialism is the religion you get when you refuse to do what Christ commanded and have no Pure Religion.

MINISTER

The noun minister in the testaments means servant.

In the Church there are two types of altars, Clay and Stone.[2]

These terms like altars of stones or earth are metaphors for elements of a system by which men may remain free souls under God the Father in Heaven with no other gods before them.

While reading the Old Testament we may believe that we are being told to pile up stones and kill sheep and oxen as if by doing so we will create the loyalty and honor required to maintain and protect a free society. The truth is much simpler and far more practical once we understand the Sophistry of false teachers.

We know the Pharisees had strayed from the teachings of Moses. We know that Jesus, as the Christ came preaching the Kingdom of God at hand and appointed that Kingdom to His titular servants.

Have Modern Christians and their ministers also been led astray into a state of apostasy and under a strong delusion?

Moses and Christ were in agreement.[3]

Every man is an altar of earth. The Hebrew word for earth when talking about altars of earth is "adamah". We are the Adamah. We are all sons of Adam. Each man plays his part in the kingdom of God by being a conduit for the sacrifices of his family in the practice of "pure religion".

If the ministers called out by God the Father will gather the people in companies as Jesus "commanded" in Mark 6:39 and "make" them sit down in companies upon companies in divisions and "ranks" of "in fifties and hundreds so that they may love one another in the practice of Pure Religion the Holy Spirit will come and bless His peculiar people.


Christ appointed His ministers to do a job and provide the services of Pure Religion through charitable practices, freely giving what was freely received like the Levites who were the Church in the Wilderness. They were public servants of a free government of, for, and by the virtue of the people and the ministries of His Church. Providing welfare through the state where men may call themselves benefactors creates a social compact with a corporate body that exercises authority which makes the word of God to none effect and snares the people as surety for debt. They gave up personal wealth being "called out" and relied upon charity. They were not mendicant which would be contrary to the early Church. They were to be in one accord, One Body, as the true Church. 1000 years later in the days of Lady Godiva the Church would look to the Benefactors who exercise authority and the Fathers of the earth becoming entangled in the elements of the world. It is time to repent!
  • "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27

The Elder of each family chooses how his family is to serve his congregation and the whole community.

Religion is the performance of our duty to God and our fellow man. Everyone in the kingdom or seeking the kingdom must realize that they are ministers to each other. Ministers of the Kingdom are those who gather together to facilitate that ministry on a national and world-wide basis.[4]

The stone altars are also men, lively stones. The living ministers of the Church chosen by men, and ordained of God are the living altars of stone of the kingdom[5]. They are titular leaders and benefactors who do not exercise authority over the contributing of the people but minister their offerings for the good of those they serve with Freewill offerings in a system of Daily ministration according to the Perfect law of liberty.

The church is an alternative government form[6] based on "the perfect law of liberty" composed of families in congregations, and ordained ministers who are servants of servants facilitating a system of welfare through faith, hope, and charity that sets men free.
