Private religion

John the Baptist and Jesus and the early Church advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Charity only and it was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees and Rome. There are different Welfare types in the world. One is socialist with covetous practices, "public" and the other, "private" based on the Perfect law of liberty.
The Gospel of the kingdom was a grass roots movement where people took back their personal responsibilities and simultaneously created communities that learned to care about their neighbor's health, education, and welfare through the Fervent charity of private welfare rather than "legal charity" of public welfare which leads the masses to bondage, tyranny, and destruction.

Welfare Defined

If you look up the word welfare you will find a definition like "the health, happiness, and fortunes of a person or group."

So the pursuit of your private welfare is at least the "pursuit of happiness" which has been linked with the pursuit of life and liberty.

Welfare is also defined as the "statutory procedure or social effort designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in need." The term is also defined as the "financial support given to people in need."

If Religion used to be defined as how you perform your duty to God and your fellowman And God has commanded us to love our neighbor as our self then welfare systems are religious systems all though there are more than one type of welfare. It is a matter of history that the major conflict between the Roman government and the Christian religion came when Rome outlawed Private Religion which was merely outlawing private welfare.

"At that institution I got my first taste of what it meant to live a life of unselfishness, my first knowledge of the fact that the happiest individuals are those who do the most to make others useful and happy." Up from Slavery, the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington.

The Strong Delusions Revealed

Someone on Facebook wrote concerning our articles on Corban: : "I disproved your "corban" teaching using actual Jewish records (showing that Corban is not, nor has it ever been a welfare program - it was funds used exclusively for temple upkeep and public city construction - but NEVER for private welfare)."

This particular individual - like so many others - is delusional. He is a victim of False religion and his own pride. He actually did not disprove the meaning or purpose of our teachings on "Corban" at all. He did quote the Talmud. Everyone who knows Christ and the Bible knows that many of the Jews had it wrong because evil will creep in and deceive whole nations if we are not diligent in seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Christ was clear on that subject. Many Jewish scholars did not have eyes to see the message of Christ back then because they did not know God in their hearts and in their minds. They thought they did. They said they did. They read Greek and Hebrew and studied the Torah but they could not see or hear the truth. The same is true today for Modern Christians and Jews and many of the religious of the world.

So what is the truth and can you, or will you be able to hear and see it?

The idea that Corban was not a part of the social welfare of Judea and certainly ancient Israel is clearly and blatantly false. From the beginning it was written:

"For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." Deuteronomy 15:11

"Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child." Exodus 22:22

It has always been a function of society to take care of the needy and the way you do it defines society. The widow and fatherless child come into need where the family has broken down and aid must come from society in general. In any large society this requires a network of specialized ministers and a flow of resources and aid from the people to provide assistance in a timely way. In almost every ancient society this role was fulfilled by their religion.

The Black and Backwards Heart of False religion is a product of the Blind guides of Modern Christians. It has painted a distorted view of the gospel through sophistry and deletion but it is the pride that binds the mind and the selfish heart that keeps the soul in the shadows of its own deceit. People of the world are not as deceived as much by their leaders as they are self deceived.

The first century Church did just that with its Daily ministration just like ancient Israel did with its daily and annual sacrifices. This in truth has always been the purpose of what we have come to know as Altars. It is when men reject God in our hearts and our minds that evil will take God's place and through Sophistry we will alter the course of our society and its nature. We will eventually elect men who can exercise authority like Israel did in 1 Samuel 8. That is where society begins to really break down.

Moses was adamant about caring for the needy and provided a way to do this by love and charity.

Meant to be Priest to All Nations

All nations knew that the care of the afflicted was essential to create the bonds of society. To aid a fallen comrade in arms or in life has always been a social obligation of honor. Cain, Lemech, Nimrod, Pharoahs and Caesars of the world had one way and Abel, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, the Prophets and Jesus had another.

All who know the LORD should know that God wants you to care for the needy through love (charity), and there is no love without choice. The right to choose is the liberty endowed by God. God's "way" has always been by Freewill offerings through a network of national servants like the Levites in the days of Moses and to the international dispersed ministers of the Church in the days of Jesus Christ and His Church.

It was one of the major jobs of the Levites to attend to the business of social welfare and those who have the heart of God would easily see this in the Biblical text.

The tithe given to the Levites was in support of their government, for there were no kings in Israel. The people supported the Levites and funded their mission the same as taxes do today. Their mission was not like the other nations, but to "all nations", which is seen as the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. Taxes pay for the everyday administration of the people who provide service of the government. They even supply aid for foreign nations also, like the Red Heifer sacrifice.

• "The Levites did everything from attending the tabernacle/temple, judging disputes, diagnosing illnesses, being the judicial system, etc. The Levites also operated their ‘social welfare’ system from the tithe money, when necessary."

In effect they were tending to the Weightier matters, including judicial and legal appeals, as well as health, education and welfare.

People debate whether or not we should tithe in the New Testament Church. If you do not tithe, how will your society provide those essential services? The answer is taxes, which is tribute. This is why the Slothful should be under tribute. It is because they choose not to provide for those Weightier matters of Christ through Freewill offerings.

• "The so called Levite tithe... was to be contributed annually, according to Numbers 18: 20-32; according to Deuteronomy 14:28-29 and 26:12-15 the term was to be only every three years and to the priests. The texts cited show very clearly that from the outset, it was a matter of social-welfare contributions."

The Library of Qumran: On the Essenes, Qumran, John the Baptist, and Jesus, By Hartmut Stegemann

• "For Israel, the practice of social welfare is about choosing not to be like Pharaoh and choosing to follow God." God, Justice, and Society: Aspects of Law and Legality in the Bible By Jonathan Burnside

Most citizens of nations pay far more than the 20% required by Egypt through their Corvee system of their yearly service to their government, yet they do not want to call it the Bondage of Egypt, but freedom.

Corban was always social welfare funds used at the discretion of the Levites. The better they did, the more people gave, but if the people did not freely give, neither would the Father in heaven bless them.

God's government was not dependent on the ownership of land but on the faithfulness of the People. In truth, God's government was to show all nations that the ways of love and charity were the best ways to govern a nation. All nations had to be both forgiving and generous to remain a free nation. The same responsibility of being a priest to all nations and to the faithful was true with the early Church which worked daily in the temple and spread the message of righteousness and the Perfect law of liberty.

The Iniquitous Works of the World

The battle between these two ideas of charity vs. forced offerings has been at the core of the Christian conflict with the governments of the world. But it is not always the governments that become angry but the people as well. The Corban of the Pharisees were stored in a central treasury and were considered sacred. A selfish people will guard that treasury with the same selfish anger that created it.

When the funds were used by Pilate to finish an aqueduct in Jerusalem to bring water to the whole city, the people rioted in complaint.

"On a later occasion he provoked a fresh uproar by expending upon the construction of an aqueduct the sacred treasure known as Corbonas; the water was brought from a distance of seventy kilometers. Indignant at this proceeding, the populace formed a ring round the tribunal of Pilate, then on a visit to Jerusalem, and besieged him with angry clamor.

He, foreseeing the tumult, had interspersed among the crowd a troop of his soldiers, armed but disguised in civilian dress, with orders not to use their swords, but to beat any rioters with cudgels. He now from his tribunal gave the agreed signal.

Large numbers of the Jews perished, some from the blows which they received, others trodden to death by their companions in the ensuing flight. Cowed by the fate of the victims, the multitude was reduced to silence."

The deaths were not the intent of Pilate but they would haunt him in the days to come. He knew that the Corban was for the welfare of the people. That was common knowledge in Rome and Judea and most of the city states who had all built Temples for the same purpose. He felt the use of those sacred welfare funds, which were used in service of the temple to the people, was worthy of their use.

The temple of God was always to be a living temple, and the sacred funds of the temple were to minister to real living people. The spirit of God was to dwell in living flesh not dead stone buildings and his Nation was wherever his people placed their foot.

We see another account of the same event, but the key is that the people felt they were being robbed of funds that should support them more directly as they had been in the past.

"He spent money from the sacred treasury in the construction of an aqueduct to bring water into Jerusalem, intercepting the source of the stream at a distance of thirty-five kilometers. The Jews did not acquiesce in the operations that this involved; and tens of thousands of men assembled and cried out against him, bidding him relinquish his promotion of such designs. Some too even hurled insults and abuse of the sort that a throng will commonly engage in."

"He thereupon ordered a large number of soldiers to be dressed in Jewish garments, under which they carried clubs, and he sent them off this way and that, thus surrounding the Jews, whom he ordered to withdraw. When the Jews were in full torrent of abuse he gave his soldiers the prearranged signal."

"They, however, inflicted much harder blows than Pilate had ordered, punishing alike both those who were rioting and those who were not. But the Jews showed no faint-heartedness; and so, caught unarmed, as they were, by men delivering a prepared attack, many of them actually were slain on the spot, while some withdrew disabled by blows. Thus ended the uprising."

Most Jews loved the Socialism of Herod and Caesar, just like Modern Christians who do not live by faith but are under a strong delusion and actually workers of iniquity. Almost none of them practice Pure Religion. They love their welfare from free education to healthcare and social security.

“The annual Temple-tribute was allowed to be transported to Jerusalem, and the alienation of these funds by the civil magistrates treated as sacrilege. As the Jews objected to bear arms, or march, on the Sabbath, they were freed from military service. On similar grounds, they were not obliged to appear in courts of law on their holy days. Augustus even ordered that, when the public distribution of corn or of money among the citizens fell on a Sabbath, the Jews were to receive their share on the following day. In a similar spirit the Roman authorities confirmed a decree by which the founder of Antioch, Seleucus I. (Nicator),[d Ob.280 B.C.] had granted the Jews the right of citizenship in all the cities of Asia Minor and Syria which he had built, and the privilege of receiving, instead of the oil that was distributed, which their religion forbade them to use, [e Ab. Sar ii. 6] an equivalent in money. [Jos.Ant. xii. 3. 1] These rights were maintained by Vespasian and Titus even after the last Jewish war, not with standing the earnest remonstrances of these cities. No wonder, that at the death of Caesar the Jews of Rome gathered for many nights, waking strange feelings of awe in the city, as they chanted in mournful melodies their Psalms around the pyre on which the body of their benefactor had been burnt, and raised their pathetic dirges.” Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah Chapt. V

Some imagine that it was a temple tax only, but from the beginning Israel was a network of Altars that provided for the needs of the people in some form of social welfare. That is what Religion meant and Moses said to love thy neighbor as thyself. Your neighbor was a part of the social network of Israel because he contributed to it regularly with Freewill offerings which was his sacrifice on living Altars composed of Levites who owned all things in common.

They had the reins of control over the sacrifices of the people and could eat of the sacrifices of the people, but they had no personal estate. They held land in common with what might be called a Legal title with all other recognized Levites. Their inheritance was not a private estate, because they belonged to God. Their inheritance was the Kingdom of God in service to the people and the tabernacles or tents of the congregations.

Even the Talmud, which is often full of the apostasies of Judaism gone astray, mentions this in the Mishna.

"The treasury Flavius Josephus describes as Corbonas is known from Jewish sources as Qorban, and Jewish law permitted the use of money from this treasures for social welfare and public works (Mishna Šeqalim 4.2)."

" "Sanctified moneys or contributions for the poor are not dealt with for profit."

Making the word of God to None effect

קרבן. The Hebrew word Korban, meaning sacrifice, could be seen etched in stone.
The Corban at the time of Christ and John the Baptist pervasive in the governments of Judea and the Imperial Cult of Rome was making the word of God to no effect because the sacrifices of the people were compelled in a socialist system of government run welfare of free bread set up by Herod the Great, the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin of Salome.
"... their table [had] become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare... [had] become a trap." Psalms 69:22
The Corban of Christ, Moses, and Abraham were rooted in "freewill offerings" which is "Charity" through love.
Rome had gone a whoring after the same covetous practices which is key to understanding the Christian conflict with the world.

Many Christian scholars do not agree on what Christ meant and said about many things. Faith is a gift. Understanding the gospel is a gift. It is clear that many do not have eyes to see nor ears to see the true gospel.

http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/corban.php

How did the Corban of the Pharisees make the word of God to none effect?

It was no longer by a Freewill offering or Charity to the National Networking minister of your choice according to the Perfect law of liberty. The right to choose what to give and how much to give and to whom to give was no longer yours but belonged to the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other and the Fathers of the earth with whom you make agreements so you can get benefits and rewards at the expense of your neighbor.

Judea like modern Christianity was in apostasy. Like many Modern Christians they want to think it is okay to covet their neighbor's goods and force them to contribute as long as it is done through the governments they elect, those Benefactors of force.

Modern Christians do not want to live by charity but by forcing their neighbor to contribute to their benefit. That has always been coveting and Moses and Jesus, and John and Paul preached against that but Modern Christians cannot see it.

Some would like to claim that Corban was "NEVER for private welfare". The Corban of the Pharisees was Public welfare.

For the record, which is easily viewed, we preach that people should live by faith, hope and charity. They should take care of the needy of their society by Freewill offerings in Pure Religion like James said. We preach what Jesus said when he told us in Luke 22:25 that we were not to be like the governments of the world that call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other. That is what Jesus clearly said and John and all the apostles said and did.

We have never ever preached against the governments of the World. We know they are needed to keep the wicked and greedy covetous people in line and of course the "false accusers" who do not have Christ in them nor eyes to see nor ears to hear His simple message of real love. Such love is not the impotent fruitless love many feel in modern churches, nor is it the love Pharisees practiced.

This is the major point of John the Baptist who called for people to confess and repent and to start to take care of one another's needs through charity when they received his Baptism. But if they depended upon the temple and the forced offerings of the people in Herod's social welfare scheme, they did less for their own parents and sometimes little to nothing.

Even the blind man's parents feared being cast out of that social welfare system if they proclaimed Jesus was the Christ, the anointed king of Judea.

This was the major Christian conflict between the two Welfare types.

200 years ago, almost all social welfare was provided by churches. Today, most people go to governments of the world to obtain the benefits they desire, from free education to health care. The modern social security systems of the world depend on the sacrifices of the people to provide for their "needy" and elderly, including their own parents. Israel and many nations had such systems. Judea called it Corban and Rome called it Qorban and Muslims call it Korban.

They are all systems that require the sacrifice of the people. The difference between a godly or free nation and the ones that make the word of God to none effect is that in a free nation, that sacrifice is by Freewill offerings or what Jesus called love and Paul called charity.

We at His Church teach that if you owe the tax, pay the tax just like Jesus, Peter and Paul said, but we also teach that if you need help or assistance, you should obtain it by the freewill offerings of your neighbor through congregations bound by love, not by force. You should not apply or pray to those Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other, nor the Fathers of the earth, like false Christians do.

Since it has always been the obligation and duty of man to take care of the needy, there must be a manner in which that is done in any godly society. That is what Religion used to mean. And Pure Religion is taking care of the needy, unspotted by the World.

The apostles were appointed a government, and the Church is defined still today as one form of government. We at His Church seek to live in the World but not of it. We know there is another way to provide for one another, which the Modern Church has strayed from.

Christ preached a kingdom and He appointed it to His little flock and they provided for the people in charity.

"Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus." Acts 17:7

Private Liberty, Private Responsibility

Private welfare is Private religion because religion was how you preformed your duty to your fellow man. Public religion was of the world and generally dependent upon compelled offerings called taxes. This private Religion of Christianity was at the root of the Christian conflict because real Christians would not covet their neighbor's goods or any thing that was their neighbor's especially through men who called themselves Benefactors but exercised authority because Jesus said it was not to be that way with us.

That would be Covetous Practices. (http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Covetous_Practices)

Many would like to claim that "our interpretation of "exousia" is completely in error, that exousia does NOT mean "liberty," but "authority"...". When they say this they show that they choose not to see truth. They think they know already so their sin remains.

The Greek word exousia is translated "liberty" in the Bible and also "right" because it means the "right to choose". In Plato's notes, the "Greek words for freedom (are) eleutheros (liberal/Free), exousia (Freedom/Power to do something), ..." In Bryn Mawr's Classical Review, the word exousia is said to express “the new concept of freedom, in opposition to the already defunct and unhelpful eleutheria." Even the Greek Glossary of Aristotelian Terms states that exousia means "right". Aristotle actually exemplifies exousia's use in the statement, "The right (exousia) to do anything one wishes..." There are quotes saying the same thing concerning both classical and Koine Greek but our accusers do not want to see the truth. We cover this in our articles and our book on Romans 13.

Terms of the Times
From the book The Higher Liberty, Sec. 4
http://www.hisholychurch.org/media/books/THL/termsofthetimes.php

We are endowed by our Creator with the right to choose but when we make contracts and agreements with Benefactors who exercise authority we give up our right to choose. That is a major theme of the Old and New Testaments from the Ten Commandments to the choice of Saul as king in 1 Samuel 8 where God said the people have already rejected me.

Many Modern Christians actually reject God everyday though they profess Him with their lips. That is why they are forever studying but never coming to a knowledge of the truth.

They give their power to choose for themselves to the Sauls and Nimrods of the World in order to feel safe and get benefits of those so called Benefactors and then complain about the fact that those Fathers of the earth take and take and take.

What if Christian leaders go the wrong way

Someone else commented that "Romans 13 is talking about christian leaders....." But Christ was king of a government that operated by freewill offerings just like early Israel not like the temple tax imposed by men like Herod and the Pharisees.

Christ said he would take the kingdom away from the Pharisees who were not bearing fruit and give it to His "little flock", which he did. When he appointed that kingdom to what we call the Church they were not to provide for the needy by force like the gentile governments but by charity and love.

Again 200 years ago the Church did that but now most Christians get 90% of their welfare from those Benefactors who exercise authority. The welfare of the modern state includes every free benefit from public education to healthcare or even care for their own parents. The Modern Christians like the Pharisees who had no king but Caesar pray to the state for their daily bread and security, not to the God of heaven. They do not live in the world by love but are a part of the world. So how can they say they are following Christ?

They are not following Christ nor doing what His word said. Their churches are designed to make them feel good about disobeying Christ and coveting their neighbor's goods through those other governments. Yes most of these Modern Christian ministers do not exercise authority but then they do not provide a Daily ministration by faith, hope and charity and the "Perfect law of liberty" like the early Church.

He went on to say "I wouldn't mind overthrowing the Gov't ..... by Grace (Changing Hearts).....we could do it if we appoint Christian into office. Unfortunately it seems when they get into office or on these news talk shows they lose all remembrance of scripture."

Christians did not try to elect new Roman governors because they were the ones who were "... saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus." Acts 17:7

Thousands of Jews accepted Christ as king at Pentecost and began taking care of one another using the charity of Pure Religion.

In every country the officers people would elect would be those men who would exercise authority one over the other. These leaders would become corrupted by that power given them, just like Saul.

What we need is real Christians practicing Pure Religion, but He was right, that would take a change of heart called repentance.

Christian leaders have to be real Christians. If they were they would come in the name of the real Christ preaching His Gospel and feeding His Sheep. They would not depend on the Benefactors of the world and would seek to aid and serve the people so that they would not depend on such unrighteous Mammon nor the Temples of unbelievers.

It is not real Christians who force their neighbors to contribute to their welfare but the false Christians who work iniquity. They complain about their government but take from their table knowing full well they bite their neighbor and therefore are devoured in their own iniquity. The Modern Christian does not provide a Daily ministration, the Daily bread for the needy of the Churches they establish. Instead they are willing to covet their neighbors' goods through their elected Benefactors who help them take a bite out of one another.

"But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Galatians 5:15

People have followed this covetous socialist path in education, the care of their widows, orphans and elderly for almost a century and continue to follow the ways of Nimrod and Babylon while pretending to love and even claiming to come in the name of Jesus.

It should be no surprise that they have become Merchandise, surety for debt and curse their children in every nation with perpetual debt as foretold by Peter and the prophets. God warned all that if you choose to have rulers who can exercise authority over you that when it became to much for you that he would not hear you in that day. Christians need to actually repent but your preachers are not telling you what you need to repent from which is your Covetous Practices and selfish ways.

Matthew 23:24 [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

From the beginning until John the Baptist people tried to create a utopia kingdom by forcing contributions of the People. Jon Jesus and the apostles of the early church were a system of private welfare that provided a Daily ministration in Pure Religion through charity alone, unspotted by the force of the world.

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

Let us gather together in one blessed Network attending 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.

"Romans... distinguished between public and private religion. When the distinction between public and private religion is applied to the Roman emperors, it becomes clear that many of them pursued personal religious interests in addition to their public religious role." [http://gradworks.umi.com/33/12/3312490.html Circa deos ac religiones: Religion and the Roman emperor from Augustus to Constantine by Polk, Matthew Robert, Ph.D., HARVARD UNIVERSITY, 2008, 412 pages; 3312490]

"It should be remembered, however, that early persecution of Christians did not follow the same prerogatives commonly ascribed to religious persecution in the modern sense, but rather arose from a feeling of "otherness" that Christians aroused in the society of the time, being adverse as they were to participating in the religious life of the Roman empire at large. Private religion, or the sacra privita, was not regulated by the state until the Christianization of the Empire, when paganism was proscribed even within the home. Private religion was the purview of the family and the individual, and varied between various ethnic groups." WikipediaA

" Private religion is on behalf of individuals, familiae and gentes as well as certain other small groups such as collegiae, guilds and sodalities."

"Private religion did not require the services of state priests, but there were several areas of overlapping between the two and they did not operate separately. Thus state pontifices would give advice on private religious matters and on inheritance passing outside a familia on the death of the last member. This was because both public and private religions were officially overseen by the state through the ius divinum. But whereas public religion was restricted to the worship of a limited number of approved gods and select festivals private religion allowed for the worship of any god and celebration of any festival providing that no breach of the peace occurred." Public and Private Religion

"Legally there was also a major difference between things dedicated to the gods as part of public and private religion; things dedicated for the people became consecrated res sacra whereas private dedications did not and so theft of such items would constitute sacrilegium in the first case but not in the second. Before examining the details of the domestic cult I must present some caveats. The picture of Roman domestic religion is clouded by the restricted nature of the evidence currently available. Thus much of our evidence comes from the Campanian towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as from Ostia and Rome itself and thus a question arises as to how 'Roman' our current view of the subject actually is. " Public and Private Religion

"An established church arguably obviates a merely private religion and maintains the tradition of social responsibility."

"This essay conceptualizes the War on Poverty as a period during which public religious capacities were incorporated into the institutional apparatus of the national welfare state. Such incorporation largely served the political needs of the welfare state itself, as it needed not only to execute but also to justify social policy to a variety of publics, including black political movements. Welfare state expansion during this period occasioned the setting of a practical boundary between public and private religion."
