Brutish Pastors

  • "For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered." Jeremiah 10:21

Brutish is defined as "resembling or characteristic of a brute."

Brute is defined as a noun as "a savagely violent person or animal." and as an adjective it is defined as "unreasoning and animallike."

It is from the Latin word brutus meaning dull or stupid rather than savage.

In the Bible the word brutish can be translated from the Hebrew word ba‘ar[1] which is a noun. The Hebrew word baar consists of the letters BeitAyinReish (בָּעַר)‎and is defined "to burn, consume". But seven times it is translated "brutish".

In Jeremiah 10:21 we see niḇărū with the spelling NunBeitAyinReishVav (נִבְעֲרוּ֙).

In verse 8 we see yiḇărū and spelled YodBeitAyinReishVav (יִבְעֲר֣וּ).

  • "But they are altogether brutish <01197> and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities." Jeremiah 10:8

In verse 14 we see niḇar and spelled YodBeitAyinReish (נִבְעַ֤ר).

  • "Every man is brutish <01197> in [his] knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them." Jeremiah 10:14

There are at least 95 occurrences of the word Baar translated commonly as a form of burn or waste. The first place this term is Exodus 3:2 "the bush burned <01197> with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed."[2]

A brutish pastor burns but does consume and does not satisfy or quench.

In Jeremiah 7:20 we see "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn <01197>, and shall not be quenched."

This could be interpreted as the modern Church pastor who tickles the ears[3] and takes the money of the people but does not actually preach the whole gospel of the kingdom and the way that draws us near to the Holy Spirit who is the true comforter.

Brutes and fools

In Deuteronomy 17 Moses warns against giving to much power to government. One of the many warnings of Jesus repeated by the early Church which told the people that they should not go to men who exercise authority one over the other to obtain benefits. This included the prohibition of Christ that we should not get our daily bread from the "Fathers of the earth". The modern Church and even the home churches send the people to the very government Christ said we were no to be like.

The brutish pastor comes about because of the vanity of vanities[4]but they are also altogether foolish and tempt the people to make the "sacrifice of fools" written of in Ecclesiastes which is the Corban of the Pharisees which makes the word of God to none effect.

Christ told us not to go to the benefactors of governments who exercise authority one over the other to obtain our daily bread provided by the Fathers of the earth who encourage the covetous practices that make men merchandise and degenerate the masses. But the modern Church pastor fails to rightly divide the bread from house to house[5] like the early Church through Pure Religion by the practice of fervent charity.

The ministers of Christ were commanded by Christ in order to distribute bread needed by the people to have them organize in a network of Tens much like what Moses had done in Exodus. At that time a synagogue was ten families and it was through the synagogues which was the congregation of the day through which the people received their daily bread in time of need since Religion was the way you cared for the needy of society.

Rome and all the city-states offered some form of social welfare for it citizens. Some of those systems were based on freewill offerings but at the time of Christ most had transitioned to systems of Legal charity where there was an accounting and the use of an exercising authority[6] to obtain the reserve funds in a treasury to provide those benefits.

The religion of the heathen was considered idolatry because they were covetous practices.[7] The free bread of Rome decreased liberty[8] and degenerated the moral perception of the people turning them into human resources with less right to choose[9]

The whole gospel of John the Baptist was that you should take care of one another through charity and not force. Today, most of the social safety net of society is provided by the bureaucrats of those governments that call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other and the "pastors" are blind guides of the modern Church, whether it is a mega institution or a home church, do not see that the legal charity of the world is the covetous practices that entangle the people back into the yoke of bondage, and like the Corban of the Pharisees is making the word of God to none effect because pure Religion has been replaced with public religion.


  • "But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities." Jeremiah 10:8

What do they mean "brutish and foolish"?

Saul forced an offering of the people and was called foolish by Samuel. The Corban of the pharisees was the "sacrifice of fools" spoken of in Ecclesiastes 5.


Appearances

It appears five times in the Bible[10]


The adjective ba‘ar[11] appears in the Bible 94 times[12] but is only translated brutish about 7 times. It is 10 times more likely to be translated burn, kindle or burn up but also eaten, set, eat up twice each and even feed, heated, took, and wasted once each.

It would appear that what is dull or foolish or brutish can burn and waste the sacrifices of the people and even the people themselves when the nation commits adultery with the well favored harlot of their nation.

The brutish pastors of Jeremiah 10:21 scattered the flock which is why there are 40,000 denominations. But we also see God tells the son of man to prophesy against these shepherds who scatters the people but also do not feed the people but get fat themselves instead.[13]

But they also do not take care of the sick nor help those who are in bonds but in truth you bring the people into bonds and rule over them.[14]

This is what Herod and the Pharisees with their system of welfare that forced the Corban of the people who registered for their welfare system of their temples. John the Baptist opposed that system as did Christ because it makes the word of God to none effect.


Testament search for brutish

In the Old Testament we see the word brutish appearing 19 times.[15]


In the New Testament we find the word brute from the Greek word alogos[16] which means unreasonable or contrary to reason.[17]

"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.[18]
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.[19]

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.[20]

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.[21]

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[22]. 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[23] 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.

It is the mission of His Holy Church to teach The Way of Christ and document the boundaries of the Church, congregations, and the families as a witness of the world of the Kingdom of God at hand.

For more about clergy and the Ministers of Record and the network of COREs:

Why Minister

The predominant form of government throughout history has been based on voluntary Networks often called the tens, hundreds, and thousands. We must not only ask, "Why ministers?", but also must ask, "What kind of ministers should we be seeking?" Most modern Christians have a distorted view of religion. They also have a false view of what the role of a minister is meant to be.

Ministers are first servants of God but also servants of the people. The Ministers of Christ are forbidden to exercise authority one over the other and therefore they are titular leaders like those of the early Church were to aid the people in the practice of Pure Religion according to The Way of Christ. While they functioned as the pure Republics of more ancient history and were "one form of government" the leaders of the people were titular, they did not rule or the bodies and minds of the people.

Ministers of the people are recognized and accepted by the witness of the people.
Ministers of the Church should then:
  • Come together to obey what Christ commanded according to the will of the Father,
  • Come together to serve others through love and just not yourself,
  • Come together to propagate Christ's doctrines and ordinances,
  • Come together in hope that the people "might be saved".

They should be assisting in the Corban of Christ and aiding the people in their duty of Pure Religion like the early Church who were attending to the Weightier matters as Christ warned.

They should be making it possible for the people of faith who love one another not to have to depend upon any minister of the world who exercises authority one over the other.

Even Polybius warned the people of their "appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force". John the Baptist said the same things encouraging charity among those who received his Baptism.

You cannot covet the property of others to provide your livelihood or you and your society will "degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch."

Authoritarian States use force and violence to become the Benefactors of the people. They force one class of citizen to provide for another. Proverbs 23 warned and Christ forbid that type of government.

Their solution was to not pray to the Fathers of the earth for their free bread and benefits which was a snare, but to set the table of the Lord through the Eucharist of Christ which was a daily ministration established by His Church through faith, hope, charity and the perfect law of liberty.

The same is true of ministers who are not rulers over the faith of true believers.

  • "Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand." 2 Corinthians 1:24

Many modern doctrines of Churches try to dictate tenets of faith based on private interpretation rather than the actual direct doctrines of Jesus. The true minister of Christ only facilitates the people's practice of Pure Religion by connecting them in a kingdom of God and His righteousness.

The ministers of God are not rulers nor spiritual gurus nor their comforters. Every man should be led by the Holy Spirit.

In Mark 6:39 Christ commanded His called out disciples to make the people organize themselves in small "companies"[24] which are the elders of ten families. Those elders choose a minister, usually another elder. Those elder ministers gather in a congregation of elders or Deacons in "ranks".[25]

A rank of fifty would be 5 "companies" of 10 families which would add up to fifty families.

Two "ranks" of fifties would be a hundred families or 10 "companies" of elders of families which would be 10 groups of 10 families.

This practical network of free assemblies is The Way to practice pure religion in faith, hope and charity according to the perfect law of liberty as free souls under God.

  8. 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.
