The plan of [[Cain]], [[Nimrod]], [[Pharaoh]], and the [[Caesar]]'s of the [[world]] was always to offer [[benefits]].

Revision as of 21:47, 23 March 2016
For the last forty years I have preached a one line message.
Repent! Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.[1]
This is what John and Jesus was preaching yet few people really understand today what that meant nor the genius of their plan.
Even the simplest of instructions are daily ignored in almost every Church so that most Christians do not even know what it meant to repent much less the significance of Baptism and what it meant to their daily practices and public status.
The truth and wisdom of the plan or this alternative way for society was remarkably simple. The strategy was basic common sense once we step back from what we were taught to believe, especially about Religion.
The plan of Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, and the Caesar's of the world was always to offer benefits. They pretended to be Benefactors but actually exercised authority one over the other. They did this by assuming the natural power of the Fathers who neglected their own responsibilities to their families and their neighbors.
It's the same today. Through their own sloth men follow the Covetous Practices that make them nothing more than Human Resources and a surety for debt. That debt grows until it curses their children with a bondage they cannot escape and all hope would be lost accept for the strategy of seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. You cannot be biting one another and expect not to be devoured by one another, especially in a social democracy.
The Kingdom of God simply means the right to be ruled by God in heaven through your heart and mind rather than be ruled by men and the gods many men give power to. In the Kingdom of God man has access to his natural God given rights but he can only maintain those rights through diligent practice[2] of Fervent Charity toward others. In other words he must care about the rights of his neighbor as much as himself.
After thirty years we are now getting a few ministers and people who actually seem to have some idea of what that all means. They are meeting and discussing and striving to do what John, Jesus and the apostles said to do and are beginning to operate more like the early Church...in the world but not of it.
There is a big learning curve to seeking that kingdom like the early Church did and these ministers have been learning by doing. And those in their congregations who participate are learning from them.
But the ministers are only a small part of the church in general. Elders of families and men and women seeking the kingdom of God are both a part of and the purpose for the Church. Those Elders and networking Ministers are a lawful assembly which we call a CORE.
Why is a lawful assembly important?
Because Jesus knows "Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?" Matthew 20:15
A lawful assembly is lawful when it is a righteous assembly which is connected to other Free Assemblies.
The whole world went back into bondage some time ago and that bondage is sealed in debt. God warned us over and over that if we did contrary to His will that He would not hear us.[3]
- "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For centuries we have been taught that:
- “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.” Plutarch and
- "The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feeding at the expense of others and to depend on the property of others for their livelihood... institute the rule of violence;[4] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[5] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." Polybius
The authoritarian state uses force and violence to become the Benefactors of the people. They force one class of citizen to provide for another. Christ forbade that type of government. He told us not to make the Fathers of the earth our Benefactors.
We have brought about our own entanglement again with the elements of the world[6] because we have not been righteous like we were told. Through covetousness we were made merchandise and trapped in debt and slavery.[7]
Of course the adversary of God wants you to think that you do not have to do the will of the Father and that you will be saved anyway. This is contrary to what Christ said.[8]
The people have been slothful[9] in the way of righteousness.
I am always asked by people, "How do you get out of the system?" But though the answer is simple it is not practical.
Getting out is a little like jumping over the side on a pirate ship or walking the plank. Unless you can walk on water you might want a different strategy.
Christ gave us that blessed strategy to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
He did not incorporate the people into a kingdom by contracts and oaths but he appointed the Church. The Church was fashioned after what the Levites, the church in the wilderness, were supposed to do. They were to be the asylum state so that the people could gather and have a government that did not exercise authority one over the other[10] but could still supply the services of governments.[11]
The key is that system of Corban and Pure Religion instead of Public religion. This is where the true Christian conflict divided them from the world.
The Church is "one form of government". It is not engaged in trade or business. Not because it does not look like trade or business but because of the status of the ordained ministers acting as overseers of Sacred Purpose Altars of divine trust. Those who have studied the Free Church Report may understand what I am saying.
People use terms like pure trusts but they do not really exist because men are not "pure". There are nexus connections everywhere and though I might let you off if I were judge, the judges of the world will protect their assets and not let you go as individuals. Christ and Moses had a plan. It was the same plan. Jesus made it better but we must decide what part we want to play in that plan.
The Church is the institution of Christ to provide services within His government. It was appointed to His "little flock".[12] It is His company, His Pure Trust... The thing that makes His Church a pure trust, a Sacred Purpose Altar of divine trust, is that it is doing the will of He who established it, Christ.
If His Church ministers are not doing what Christ said to do then we are not His Church.
He said be ye separate.[13]
Feed My Sheep.[14]
Keep the commandments.[15]
Love one another.[16]
The Church needs to be the social welfare and health care of Christ.
The FEMA of Christ,
The educational system of Christ.
The church established by Christ.
That means we need to have ministers and elders working for a common goal in an unselfish servant/service oriented protocol that strengthens the poor.
What does that look like?
Free Assemblies that come together for the purpose of serving one another with freewill offerings and ministers who do the same to provide all the benefits of government but by charity alone. They all come to serve in whatever capacity they can.
People who focus on the idea of being free rather than the idea of being responsible will miss the boat. We are in trouble because we did not 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.
"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
- One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.
- If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.[17]
.
I currently see no way to get the elders out of the system. Pharaoh's heart is too hard. We can build the "asylum state", the Church. That Church needs to be manned by the prodigal sons and daughters who are willing to come back to their Father's house to be servants/disciples under His terms like the vow of poverty which we explain in the books.
When the system is collapsing the elders will come out but the seas will be roaring and it will take many miracles to survive...
What they must do now is work to build the righteous house of the Lord by coming together and serving one another.
That is repentance.
That is turning away from what brought us into bondage. If we will do that then God will hear our prayers and bless us.
Do not seek to get out of a system by forming some pretense of a Lawful assemblies by filing papers or making claims.
Seek to get into the kingdom by doing righteousness and loving one another in service like Christ said to do. That is the blessed strategy.
