If the Church was established by Jesus Christ there should be some consistancy in what is claiming to be the Church.

We are told that we will know them by their fruits.

So what is the fruit of the His Church.

The early church provided all the social welfare of Christians. If you got the Baptism of Christ you were cast our o the social welfare system of the government of Judea run through the temple. That system was called Corban but it was much different than the Corban of the old testament.

Jesus said it made the word of God to none effect. That would mean that it would not be bearing good fruit.

Jesus came to take the kingdom away from a group that had set up this system of none effect Corban. And he was going to give it to a group He called out of the world. The were going to be in the world but not of it and he was going to teach them to be His ministers.

The word disciple means student and he told his little group of students that they had to give up all their property and own all things in common to be his disciples and the eventual ministers of his appointed kingdom.

So all these Church denominations claim to be the Church.

What are the fruits?

Most people who were called Christians were forced to become a part of the Catholic Church about a thousand years after Christ instituted His Holy Church. Over 60,000,000 perished during the conflict imposed across Europe while at the same time the Catholic Church began crowning kings over one community of people after another until governments ruled vast areas with or without the peoples consent.

About 500 years later the protestant reformation attempted to go back to what the early Church was intended to be but they too often brought with them ideas about the Church that were not wholly Christ ordained. They were found dividing people by their private interpretations.

The Church was to bind the people by love alone.

They were to practice Pure Religion.

They were to be the Benefactors who did not exercise authority one over the other.

The Church legally defined as a government that had an identity based on two or more witnesses and the practice of Pure Religion. It would not return the people to the bondage of Herod or Egypt

The only way the Church can be the Benefactors of the people is by the people voluntarily coming together in a living Network of small intimate Congregations of Record that love one another as much as they love themselves.

The denomination of Christianity is based on Christ as the one common denominator. So Christians will be doing what Christ said and he wanted us to to 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.
