Template:Birthregistration

"Birth registration, which many of our own states have been slow to enforce, was first required under Marcus Aurelius, when it was ordained that the father must register the date of birth and the name of his child within thirty days, at Rome before the praefectus aerāriī, in the provinces before the tabulāriī pūblicī. In the case of the boy the registering of the name on the list of citizens may have occurred at the time he put on the toga virīlis."
They did this to obtain benefits from the government and the men who call themselves benefactors. But Plutarch said, “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.”
"The last person to trust with power is someone who is dying to have it. The best person to wield power is someone who is reluctant to do so, but who will do it for a while as a civic duty. That is why term limits should make it impossible to have a whole career in politics." -Thomas Sowell.
Jesus preached a kingdom that sets men free. It had no offices of power, only of service. To be fruitful it is required that the people exercise the responsibility imposed by God to love their neighbors as themselves.

Roman Birth Registration

Rome had a vast system of welfare. Those who registered with Rome and its increasing socialist state were eligible for free bread. Rome imported 500,000,000 bushels of this grain each year from Egypt alone. There was a great deal of free entertainment provided and a general promise of social security to those who chose to be a part of the offered system of Corban. The United States government is simply carrying on the Roman tradition and custom when it began birth registration to provide care for its children.

"Although birth certificates have survived only in Egypt, literary references to such registrations prove the system operated throughout the empire."

A Roman boy was not a citizen until he was old enough to put on a man's toga and pay into the patrimonial offerings of its Qurban, but his father needed to register the child's name and the date of its birth to be eligible for those privileges which came from the Parens Patriae, The Father of the Country. Rome had birth registration for centuries to determine the eligibility of a subject citizen for property, inheritance, and benefits of the temples along with corresponding obligations of taxation and service.

• "Birth registration... was first required under Marcus Aurelius, when it was ordained that the father must register the date of birth and the name of his child within thirty days, at Rome before the praefectus aerāriī, in the provinces before the tabulāriī pūblicī. In the case of the boy the registering of the name on the list of citizens may have occurred at the time he put on the toga virīlis."

Marcus Aurelius as the first Emperor to make that birth registration with the Treasury Department mandatory within thirty days of the birth was imposing an obligation to submit your children to the Patrimonial jurisdiction of the state.

Marcus Aurelius believed in the Patrimonial right of the State as the "Father" of the people which brought his political position in conflict with early Christians. This was inevitable because of the Public religion of Rome which became more and more supported through taxation since the days of Polybius who warned that such practices would alter the character of the Roman citizen. Marcus though benevolent in all other respects had the worst record of official persecution of Christians under his reign than any other Emperor and President of Rome.

It had always been an option for the people to apply to the State for an enfranchised citizenship. Marcus Aurelius wanted no child to be left behind. He required by law that everyone must register the birth of their children with the Secretary of Treasury or Provincial Registrars within 30 days.

The Christians could not do this in good conscience and were persecuted. Such registration would be an application to the Father of the Roman State and would be turning from Christ’s command. The State became the “In Loco Parentis” which in the Latin, means “in the place of a parent” which is a turning away from the Natural Family instituted by God.

Christians could not assent to the registering of their children under the authority of another person acting as the father of the people. Such registration would not only be disobedient to Christ's solemn command of call no man on earth father but it would also be an application or prayer to that earthly Father, or benefactor, to obtain the gifts of his civil altars. Those altars compelled a contribution by its authority. That authority was established by the people who by application or prayer to the state under oath went under the authority of the state or increased that authority through participation. Such oaths were forbidden by the gospel of Christ but often ignored by modern Christians and their teachers. The State would truly be "in the place of a parent", a father not in heaven but in the Capitol of Rome.

Eventually the Christian Religion would be outlawed as a private system of Welfare. This difference between welfare based on faith, hope and charity and the Perfect law of liberty and the one based on compelled offerings by the Roman state was the bases of the Christian conflict.

Call no man on earth Father

In the Law of Nature the Pater Familias had a superior jurisdiction over his natural child as head of the family. This was such a sacred right and responsibility the Roman state could not breach family without a three-part process of manumission.

This threefold process of abdication through Novation, Tutor and Korban. By the natural fathers and patriarchs of each household bound the sons and daughters into the power of the Patronus of the State.

Nothing will stir the angry ardor and abhorrence of those in the system more than the rejection of benefits and offers or noncompliance with the state of affairs or affairs of the State. To say in a pristine and orderly hospital, "I am the Father and I have taken responsibility for this Child" can stir a great wrath from many within those sacred chambers and send waves of stirring reality rippling through those hallowed halls.

The Latin word pater means father. As we have seen the word was used as a title of the Emperor and before him the pro council was referred to as the father of the senate and therefore the Empire. Pater or patri was also an address in reference to the Senators of Rome. The Roman's developed an elected congress to introduce the proposed bills for the enfranchised citizenry who were subject to the statutes of men. This congress was called patres consritpi, the conscripted fathers [see Citizen vs. Citizen].

We can assume that the people of the Roman Empire when they heard the word pater thought of one of several ideas. Either they were talking about their genetic father and their Creator Father in heaven, or their substitute fathers or Conscript Patri in Rome.

• Jesus said, “And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9)

To make such a statement was a shock to those who thought man's governments and the Roman political and judicial system, with its peace and commerce, was good for society and the business of men. This would be like saying call no man on earth president or senator or congressman.

In that Greek text of Matthew we find the word Pater meaning father in the Latin. When Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world he did not use the Greek word for earth or planet or inhabited places or age that are also translated into world. The word world there is kosmos “meaning a harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government”.

This was a jurisdictional statement. To call no man father was a jurisdictional statement. To be baptized was a jurisdictional event of allegiance. To worship is an act of homage to a lord or King. Jesus did not preach the religion of heaven but the kingdom.

American Birth Registration

"Are men property of the state or are they free souls under God? This battle continues throughout the world today." C.B. DeMille
The story of birth registration reach back into the history of man, at least to Nimrod and Pharaoh and into the time of Rome until this present day thoughtout the world. The reason for it is often to obtain benefits and assign obligations and duties.
"He who is in the womb is considered as born, whenever his benefit is concerned."

The Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act was "for the promotion, the welfare and hygiene of maternity and infancy and for other purposes."

The Promotion of the Welfare and Hygiene of Maternity and Infancy Act, more commonly known as the Sheppard–Towner Act was an Act of Congress that provided federal funding for maternity and child care.

The Sheppard–Towner Act was the first venture of the federal government into social security legislation and the first major legislation that came to exist after the full enfranchisement of women.

The Senate passed it with a vote of 63 to 7, and by the House with a vote of 279 to 39, and was finally signed by the president and became law on Nov. 23, 1921. The act provided for the current fiscal year (1922) $10,000 for each state accepting the provisions of the act, and the additional sum of $1,000,000.

The bill was a direct outgrowth of a nine-year study made by the "Federal Children's Bureau." Note the Bureau was not the federal bureau for children but the bureau of the federal children. This act and the acceptance of its benefits by the states created the "United States birth registration area."

Why does the United States need to register your birth? Because the United States acts as Rome. It sits in the usurped position of your Father and demands your faithful obedience.

Did the federal government have the right to impose such legislation on the States? In 1923, it was argued by Mr. Alexander Lincoln, Assistant Attorney General of Massachusetts, "The act is unconstitutional. It purports to vest in agencies of the Federal Government powers which are almost wholly undefined, in matters relating to maternity and infancy, and to authorize appropriations of federal funds for the purposes of the act." The complaint went on to state that, "The act is invalid because it assumes powers not granted to Congress and usurps the local police power." "The act is not made valid by the circumstance that federal powers are to be exercised only with respect to those States which accept the act, for Congress cannot assume, and state legislatures cannot yield, the powers reserved to the States by the Constitution. The act is invalid because it imposes on each State an illegal option either to yield a part of its powers reserved by the Tenth Amendment or to give up its share of appropriations under the act."

Women Patriots was in opposition to the bill fundamentally. Mrs. Mae C. Mitchell opposing the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Bill, December 7, 1920, wrote in a letter, "The Public Health Service is a splendid institution, for health, but motherhood is a sacred institution, and not a public one…"

Those challenges and opposition dissuaded Congress from renewing the act in 1929.

In the final analysis, the Act was an offer from one corporate entity to others for the purpose of providing an avenue for the individual citizen of America to register as a subject of the State and therefore a citizen of the Federal corporate State, the superior sovereign agent, called the United States. The federal government would assume the position of Patron as the natural fathers emancipate their children from God’s institution, the family, into the hands of man-made institutions and the substitute father of the world.

The vicarious patri or substitute father becomes the patronus of the infant citizen according to the law of Parens Patriae, Obey the Father. Even the United States Codes verify this parental relationship using the Latin in their own US codes.

Once you are registered as a child of the State there are many benefits and paths open to you. The state stands in the position of patron and supplies both tutor and curator for the child. The patron never entirely releases the child to the status of sui juris as long as they depend upon the gracious benefits of the State.

Without the exercise of rugged individualism that comes from an independent self-reliant family the people are brought down to a weakened state of apathy and self-indulgence.

"Society in every state is a blessing, but a government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one." Thomas Paine.

If we step back and examine our preconceived notions objectively in the light of history and the law we can see warnings and advice in the biblical text that may begin to make more sense as the dots and elements are connected. Children can become the property of the state through the Covetous Practices of the parents. The parents have likely already asked permission of the government to marry subjecting the products of the Marriage to the state. They have likely sold their labor to obtain a personal social security.

Parents enter the hospital signing and granting permission to that corporate entity and its licensed officers the right to determine the best interest of the child and to register the child with its public patron. They are under obligations of the state. A Birth Registration Document is not a contract but the beginning of a three-part process of manumission.

"(2) Birth Registration Document. The Social Security Administration (SSA) may enter into an agreement with officials of a State... to establish, as part of the official birth registration process, a procedure to assist SSA in assigning social security numbers to newborn children. Where an agreement is in effect, a parent, as part of the official birth registration process, need not complete a Form SS-5 and may request that SSA assign a social security number to the newborn child."

While the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Bill was a clear record of granting of gifts, gratuities and benefits, by government, to a child while it was still in the womb of his natural mother. All the children who were certified by the signature and seal of a natural parent, or a professional doctor and the representing county and state became eligible for further federal and state benefits as a federal child of the state.

The important thing to consider in the growth of a truly Christian community is the spiritual coming of the Holy Spirit that is promised to those who are not hearers only but are doers of the word. The early Christian community, as a peculiar people, established a daily ministration and practiced Pure Religion through Faith, Hope and Charity which is Love, rather than force, fear, and fealty by their covetous practices and men who exercise authority of the world.

Like the early Church the only way to practically do that and remain true to the perfect law of liberty is to sit down in a voluntary network and start learning to care about others as much as you care about yourself setting the table of the LORD as Christ commanded.

It is not enough to simply not seek the wages of unrighteousness and forgo the benefits of those who call themselves benefactors but are the fathers of the earth but you must seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness with your whole heart, mind, and soul.

Falling Away

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" 2 Thessalonians 2:3

Today, every nation has a system of Corban where the people sacrifice on civic Altars. The modern public institutions serve many of the same purposes as the ancient Temples of Rome and other nations. Like Nimrod the modern Benefactors of the world provide for the people with many "bounties, donations, and benefits"

"A public debt is a public curse.” — James Madison

The desire for benefits at the expense of your neighbor not only degenerates the masses it does curse children. To have access to those benefits of the welfare state you must become a child of the state. The Patronus of the world is the "fathers of the earth". Through your consent by application and Covetous Practices, the people have become Merchandise and their children are a surety for that debt.

The only salvation is to Repent which is a changing of the mind and be Baptized in the spirit of Christ who came to serve and sacrifice himself so that others might be saved.

We should gather in a Network of love serving as Christ did in love and tend 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.
