Purpose of gathering

The reason we gather is to serve one another.

Why? Because Christ came to serve.

We come together so that others might be saved by our sacrifice because that is why Christ came.

To come in the name of Christ is to come in the character of Christ.

Christ did not come to feel good or hear the music or a good uplifting sermon.

He did not come to build really nice buildings to meet in or cathedrals to impress people.

He cam telling us to repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and appointed His disciples to fed His Sheep. His sheep were those who hear His voice[1] and do the will of the Father.

Part of that was to provide a daily ministration based on love according to the perfect law of liberty.

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25


Where shall we eat

Israel was in the same bondage we are in today. It was a system of Corvee which made us Merchandise.

This was not because of what governments do but we and our generations. Their parents of those in bondage brought about that bondage generations before they found themselves enslaved.

So what did they do to obtain freedom?

What did Moses Say?

What did Jesus Say?


They did not cry fraud.
They did not rescind their bondage.
They instead began to bind themselves with love and caring for one anther in hard times so that survived and thrived during the plagues of Egypt which prepared them for the exodus.

The same is true for the early Christians who were better equipped to deal with occupation of foreign troops, economic dearths and depression, geological disasters and eventual destruction and forced migration.

We need to gather for the purpose of saving others not saving our selves.... if we will desire the protection of the Holy we will gather like the early Church seeking the righteousness of God...

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."[2]
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.[3]

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.

Lone Sheep

Gather to pray so that no one becomes prey.

Someone on the network got a visit from CPS.

You never know when such visits can turn into nightmares with the state employees enthusiastically abducting your children.

We have seen it for decades.

What the parents try to do when it happens is often too little and too late.

Eric Holder who said that Homeschooling is Not a Fundamental Right.

There are elements of the world when it comes to a spirit that will violently oppose individual freedom to raise your children or even gather and live like early Christians.

The World has taken the same course as Rome and Herod did in creating a Socialist state.

John the Baptist was not just dunking people in water and calling it Baptism. He preached that people needed to be caring for one another in faith, hope, and charity.

This is what the early Christians learned to do. When persecution came they were able to survive and thrive.

As a shepherd on the high desert knows, lone sheep do not last long. They are easy prey for the predators of the desert. We can see some insight into the nature of the kingdom and kingdom seekers in the parable of the Goats and Sheep.

We are told to gather together and above all things have fervent charity. We gather for the same reason Christ came - not to save ourselves but to save others.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)

The Supreme Judge

A few days later after we heard that Eric Holder was resigning we also heard he was going to be a candidate for the Supreme Court of the United States. If he obtains that position as one of the Supreme Court judges he will have the power to decide good and evil for the People of the United States.

Over two decades ago we began publishing the book The Covenants of the gods. It tells us about the contractual nature of government.

In the ten commandments we are told to make no covenants or contracts with the inhabitants where we go.

We are also told not to covet our neighbor's goods or any thing that is our neighbor's.

We know that the ten commandments hinge upon two laws - love God and love thy neighbor as thyself.

Christ did not do away with that law of love but confirmed it with His blood.

The problems of the world today all stem from our neglect of that law of love and liberty.

In a Facebook conversation, "Michael B." somehow thinks we suggest that people should not pay taxes that they owe and he talks about Jesus giving us "permission" to pay taxes when He said, "give to Caesar what is Caesar's".

You not only have permission to pay taxes but most people have an obligation to pay taxes to make their yes, yes.

We are talking about coveting benefits from men who force the contributions of the people.

Certainly we are to pay our tale of bricks but seek our benefits through charity and love for one another,

That is the mark of God, to live by faith in the ways of God rather than the ways of Cain, Nimrod, and the Mark of the Beast.

Do not eat at the table of kings, presidents, or prime ministers who "exercise authority one over the other" if you can avoid it.

"When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat." (Proverbs 23:1)

The very beginning of the thread on Facebook was about prohibition of sharing food in schools and a student who was suspended because they did. The whole message of the Bible is about sharing life by your love for one another which is the way of God of heaven. The way of Nimrod is to turn your neighbor into a human resource so you can have benefits for "free". Christ came to set men free and we should gather for that reason as well.

The modern Churches and the modern Christians who attend them are not doing what the early Church was doing but they are doing what the pagans did and what the Pharisees and Herodians did.

The Right to Choose

The conversation continued about Pelosi and Boehner and their bills to fund abortion, support ISIS and Obamacare. The common complaint was that we have no choice and must support them. That may be true but our comments have been about why you have no choice anymore.

Jesus and Paul talk about it all the time. But the Modern Christian does not have ears to hear. What has happened is false preachers have crept in and said it was okay to desire and covet benefits of men who exercise authority over your neighbor. Now since you and the generation before you looked to these benefactors you must fund abortion...

You must serve Pelosi and Boehner because you have sworn to obey them against the words of Christ. The headlines today is Pelosi Says Boehner Should Start War Debate in Congress. They will be able to take your sons and daughters because the Modern Christian, like in the days of Samuel, has "rejected" God.

Jesus and James say:

  • To not take oaths.
  • To only pray to the Father in heaven, not the "fathers upon the earth".
  • To not covet what is your neighbors'.
  • To give to God what is God's.

But modern Christians swear to, and pray to, the "fathers upon the earth". Coveting their neighbor's goods through the authority of those "fathers upon the earth" - those Benefactors who exercise authority - giving them authority like the Israelites did when they "rejected" God that he should not rule over them and elected Saul as their king/central authority.

History repeated when the Pharisees rejected God that Jesus should not be their King but Caesar. And again when people deny that Jesus preached a Way separate from the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other and choose rather to bow down to serve Pelosi and Boehner. They then have no choice any more, because they say Lord, Lord but do not do what Christ said.

Whenever the fathers of the earth say give to us so we may kill the unborn you must now bow down and serve them. When they say give us your sons and daughters to make war and serve us you have no choice any more.

You have given to Caesar what you should have given to God - your endowed right to choose. Now Caesar can take and take and take and when you cry out God has said He will not hear you. For you have chosen a different Father.
