Do you believeth or are you merely under a Strong delusion? ? We were told that many would think they are believeth and say Lord,Lord with their mouth but will actually be workers of iniquity. They will do many things that seem great but they will decieve many and even themselves because they are not true doers of the word.

Believeth

Do you believeth that Jesus is the Christ?

How do you know that you truly believe?

Does believing just mean accepting a fact as true?

What does it really mean to say that you believeth that Jesus is the Christ?

Are you really a believer or are you just under a strong delusion?

Many will say they believe but will Jesus tell them He never knew them because they are workers of iniquity and not true doers of the word?

So, the question is always Who believeth?

Many recite that they believe that Jesus was the Christ and the son of God but they need to understand what that means deep in their hearts and minds and then they will manifest that faith in the fruits of their heart and in what they do.

A difference

What made the early Christians so different and a Peculiar people?

If Christ makes a difference when we receive Him into our hearts, we should act accordingly. Otherwise, if we continue to sin, it would seem that our faith is not complete, and we may still have need of repentance. Our true belief will compel our actions, and those actions and choice will manifest the righteousness of Christ in all things.

If we truly loved Christ, would we not keep His commandments?

We may believe, but we may need help with our unbelief.[1]

What would that belief look like today, and what should it not look like?

We are told in the context of His teachings and those of His disciples to seek the Kingdom of God at hand and the righteousness of God.

We know that it is written in 1 John 5 "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

So, there you have it that every one who believeth loveth him and that claim of loving God includes the keeping of His commandments.

So, anyone not keeping His commandments do not really believe nor do they really love Him.[2]

Not kept

It should be abundantly clear that keeping the commandments is the evidence of true Faith and Love and if we keep not the commandments then we know that our love is false and our faith is dead.

Say if we coveted anything that is our neighbor's so that we would benefit at his expense, that would be violating the commandments of God. If we sent men to our neighbor's house who called themselves Benefactors to take away from our neighbor anything that was our neighbor's for our own personal benefit, that would not be loving our neighbor.

This would mean that we were not keeping the commandments of God and therefore not believing in the teachings of Christ who said it was not to be so with us.

If we did desire benefits from such men or institutions we would have need of repentance because it "is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" and not covet our neighbor's goods.

Today, coveting your neighbors' goods in a socialist state is legal and so common that it is hard to imagine a world without the forced benefaction of the state.

Not warned

Everyone is encouraged by governments and even their churches to take from one another through the process of voting in new taxes, incurring more debt to obtain more benefits at the expense of your neighbor and their children and grandchildren for generations to come.

Everyone wants free education, free healthcare, free protection and guaranteed Welfare from men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority directly opposite the instructions of Christ.

Everyone takes a bite out of one another[3] through these Covetous Practices. This is exactly what early Christians stopped doing. They no longer prayed to the Fathers of the if but their Father in heaven who answered their prayers through their love for one another.

From the beginning we were told not to covet, be not desirous of the dainties of rulers, for their table is a snare and would make the masses into human resources. But the modern Church does not preach the warnings of the early Church.

All the social welfare, the daily ministration of the believers, was by charity and love through faith and hope. They would not pray to Caesar for his free bread even in the face of persecution, because all "legal charity" is by the Law of Nature considered covetous practices.

This is what made them a peculiar people. They took care of one another through Faith, [Hope] and Charity and not by forced contributions like the rest of the World.

Return to unbelief

Today the people have returned to the Bondage of Egypt and the Elements of the World. But some rebel and flee and say we will not take the benefits nor pay into such a system because we believe not in the ways of covetousness. But do they believe in love? Do they believe in Jesus? Do they believe in the Blood of Jesus? Are they a part of the Body of Christ?

Where believeth

People followed Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus. The altars of clay and stone was a way to create the social bonds of free people. The levites led the Israelites. And the early Church followed Christ and His Way, which was The Way, and advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Pure Religion through Fervent charity only. This was the Corban of Christ which was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees nor of Rome or the systems of FDR and LBJ.
The church lost "the way" when it abandoned the practice of "pure Religion" while claiming to be the Church established by Christ. The people developed an appetite for the "wages of unrighteousness" from "public religion" in the days of Constantine. Those new Christians that often failed to fully repent degenerated the moral character of society with the masses of "instant christians".
That new religion of the emperor introduced a new faith with his apostate church replacing the doctrine of Jesus with the "doctrines of men", the Holy Spirit with emotion, the truth with the speaking of "great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."[4]
They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.

Where is your religion

  • Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?
  • Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?

If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.

If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.[5]

It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?

  • Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?
  • Do you come to love others or just be loved?

Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.

Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."

We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.

When Judas was on his way to betray Christ Jesus said to His apostles:

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

This was not a new commandment because Moses had already said it[6] but he was giving them an old commandment anew.[7] He was a second witness to the nature of God so that you would know who really believed.

John 13:35 "By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

So do not tell me you believe, but show me by your works.[8]

There is a reason why Proverbs 23 tells us to put a knife to our throat when we sit to eat with rulers, men who call themselves Benefactors. We must become the benefactors who exercise Fervent Charity according to the Eucharist of Christ in a Daily ministration of Love. There is no Grace without that Kingdom Love. We must give Repent which means to stop Biting one another so that we may forgive and love one another.

Today the world has returned to the bondage of Egypt to the vanity of Rome along with its decadence and corruption. The day of judgment is upon us, and we have need of repentance. So, the answer to the question Who believeth is not found in endless repetitions or False religion but in Pure Religion. It is found in the answer to the question do you love one another? Do you attend 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.

  8. John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
  9. 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.
