Capitalism has to do with ownership of the means of production being held by the individual including his labor.
From the Garden God gave man dominion and told him to dress it and keep it.
The only economic system that allows that is capitalism.
Most of what is posing as capitalism today is a mix of socialism, debt-ism, corporatism.
Most of that has come about while people said they believed in God and even Christ.
It came about because of the sloth of the people, and false faith where people thought they could save themselves by saying they believed in Christ or God but were not doers of His word.
Corban has to do with giving up that ownership, sacrificing what capitalism wanted you to own.
The corban of the pharisees was not freewill but the result of the law of Contract.
They had set up a socialist system of sacrifice run by the government. Rome did the same thing and offered bread at the expense of others.
The Corban of Christ is the sacrifice of ourselves or our property by freewill choice.
Christ appointed a government without rulers through which every man might freely sacrifice and receive his daily bread both physically and spiritually by grace.
That government was the called out which we have translated into church but there are many things calling themselves the church. We may find out who is His Church by what they do, their fruits.
I see people quoting Paul "toward us" " Christ died for us".
What makes people think they are a part of that us that were saved?
We know that Christ died that we might be saved.[1]
Everyone knows that we must repent.
But what are the fruits of repentance?
What makes a person the "us " and "we" that Paul spoke of and to?
They all were believers, had faith but they did not have faith because of what they said.
They could be lying to themselves and to us. They could be self deceived.
They could think they are Christians and claim to be doing what Christ said but actually do not even know him.
We know that faith without works is dead so the question remains unanswered.
What is the evidence of faith?
We know you are not saved by your works because you cannot earn a right where God owes you anything. But this has always been true. God has always known that no one can keep the law unless it was written in their hearts and minds by Him. Everything done for Abraham,[2] Noah,[3] or Israel[4] was done by grace.
Even the prodigal son had to head back to his Fathers house with the intent of being a servant before his Father could forgive him. The prodigal son would not have been forgiven by his Father if he did not change to serve The Way of his father.
John the Baptist said repent and seek the kingdom He asked Was it not told to us from the beginning even in Ezekiel 18:25-32 "when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive."
Are you really the brethren who doeth that Paul wrote to?
Where is the evidence of repentance?
Where is the evidence of your faith?
Where is your religion
- Where do you find the Daily ministration of the early Church, the Pure Religion of James and the Corban of Jesus?
- Are you following The Blessed Strategy of Christ like the Early Christians?
- Are you following The Way through Love of one another or the way of the world and the Fathers of the earth?
- Do you seek the benefits of bankrupt nations, or do you forgive and seek the benefits of Christ's appointed Kingdom?
- 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.[6]
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?
- Are your Congregations' gatherings fruitful enough so that no one has to pray to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other?
- Does anyone in your Free Assemblies have to apply to the Fathers of the earth, or seek their many benefits?
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.
