Recent appearances on the show Truth Attack produced a variety of responses.

Previous shows onTruth Attack:
First week: – http://KeysOfTheKingdom.info/TA-150602.mp3
Second week: – http://KeysOfTheKingdom.info/TA-150609.mp3
Third week: – http://KeysOfTheKingdom.info/TA-150616.mp3
Fourth week: – http://KeysOfTheKingdom.info/TA-150623.mp3

People often focus on a desire to get out of "the system". That is a natural reaction to something that has become a burden or uncomfortable. They Cry out for an answer but they are often not ready or even willing to hear the answer.

"When people do not want to hear the truth or just cannot handle the truth they will imagine they heard something else. They will hear the truth as an attack."

Some responded to the broadcasts on Truth Attack guest appearance as "Another quality presentation" while others did no like what they heard and objected to the same truths when heard in conversations stimulated by the shows on the Network.

The message of Christ included terms like love and forgive but also repent and seek and even strive.

Our responses and comments are often direct. They are focused like John the Baptist and Christ who said Repent and seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.

Our intentions are to bring people back to the real solution of Christ and to show all what that solution of Christ looked like and finally help them begin to do what Christ said to do and the early Church did.

The people of the early church appointed by Christ had an opinion of what Christ was telling us to do based on His direct instructions to them as disciples of Christ. We would have to assume that what they were doing was the closest model to Christ's true intentions for us. The "Us" and the "We" referenced in the Epistles is talking to and about those who actually repented and were doing what Christ said.

People who think they believe in Jesus who are not doing what that early Church was doing may feel attacked by any truth about the activities of the early Church. When you point out what the early Church did and what they are not doing they often take offense and like the Pharisees they can get upset. They will try to either make you angry or project that you are getting irritated or even offended by them.

Anyone who knows me knows that you cannot offend me with words. You can barely do it with a stick. While it is our mission to forgive people even when they know not what they do it remains our mission to defend the view of the kingdom and the early Church expressed by Christ and the deeds and words of the early Church.

If we actually follow the words of Christ millions will be saved and if we do not follow His wisdom and righteous ways destruction will come. It is our mission to preach His Gospel, not our own or the teachings of many modern church groups.

We know that view will bring disagreement and even ridicule. Our directness will make people feel attacked. Our faith and probity will offend the lukewarm. They will falsely accuse us in their own emotional or mental defense.

Through the grace of God I see the spirit behind the actions and I know they are trapped in their own misbehavior. We are all to forgive others because most people do not know what they are doing or even why they think what they are thinking.

But we should consistently press the issues where other ministers will only whisper or divert attention or tickle ears.

When people say things like "I did not respond as I did to pick a fight." they are often actually projecting the idea that someone is trying to fight with them. May not even have a defense.

It is the same kind of thing you see when someone says "Why do you guys insist on stomping down anything that does not (yet) have all the points you hammer down...."

"And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes." Mark 1:22

The word authority is the word from the Greek Exousia translated power in Romans 13. Whenever you speak with conviction as though you are right and you contradict what others want to believe they immediately want to discount what you say and accuse you of being unfair or even mean.

Even if there is actually agreement from the start that a congregation is important but a congregation, which is only a small gathering of people, is not the same as a kingdom.

We were told to seek the kingdom of God and to seek a local congregation alone falls short of that goal. It is simply not enough. It is not seeking the whole gospel.

Forming a congregation is like jumping while standing in front of a ravine to get to the other side. You need to know how far to jump to make it across and not just jump. Forming a congregation is just jumping. While I know it is important to make the jump it is more important to know how far you have to jump. In that knowledge there is a solution.

"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]?" Luke 14:28

Understanding the destination allows you to count the cost. While a congregation is desirable we must keep in mind where we should be trying to go.

What I say to all consistently is what I believe. What I believe is why I started these groups and why others are working to form the network of congregations that formed the early Church and its Pure Religion, the early nation of Israel and Abraham's altars. What was said was true God's kingdom "requires people to help people that are a long way off and may never be able to help them" back. This is why you see numerous places in the new testament where funds were sent to other city states and even countries by way of teams of ministers.

"Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul." Acts 11:29

But a doubting soul may comments "I'll flat out say that I do not agree with your view on church organization".

Why do they deny that Christ appointed ministers and gave them a job and those ministers and the people who gathered did that job diligently. Why do they doubt the need for being organized? Often it is because they have not forgiven those who would rule over them. That judgment often makes them fear organization even when it is grassroots.

They like to imagine “One does not need to form a congregation of record, or choose a minister who meets with other ministers in congregation, etc., to seek or be in the Holy Kingdom. Those must be your rules for living a good and rewarding Christian life. Not Yhwh’s rules.”

They even throw out challenges like “Name one early church listed in Scripture that formed a “Congregation of Record”. There were none, because it’s not necessary to do so in order to be in the Father’s Kingdom. There is no stipulation that ministers must be elected. It's optional... for a congregation that may be growing and needs people to perform certain tasks for the benefit of the all. Let the Lord guide the way, don't force it.”

"The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Psalms 110:4

The word order is the Hebrew word dibrah הרבד from dabar רבד with the letter Hey added for emphases. Abraham had tithed to Melchizedek and when Abraham defeated these despots who had taken the people captive it was Melchizedek. the righteous king, brought provisions to his men in support.

We are supposed to seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness which means we should also be operating by the perfect law of liberty with Freewill offerings and supporting a government based on charity. If we will not diligently care for the needy in Pure Religion then we should not expect to be free souls under God.

"The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute." Proverbs 12:24

It is clear that all the history of Israel and the early Church involved people connected with one another in a unified and disciplined way. That unity was based on mutual love fed by Daily ministration of charity mot force or contracts of entitlements. It was clearly not merely congregational but through a broad network.

Besides men like Paul and Barnabas carrying relief to other cities[1] there was also within congregations of congregations regular Welfare based on charity. The whole Christian conflict was justified not because they would not pay into the social welfare Temples of the governments of the gentiles but that they provided their own welfare as we see in this apology written to the Emperor of Rome.

"And those who have among us, help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son 186 Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost." Chapter LXVII.—Weekly worship of the Christians. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr.

The Lord has already given us the way. But many want to turn a blind eye to the kingdom way of righteousness and say they see no evidence of a well organized network of ministers and congregations bound by charity and hope.

They say these things because they do not like it when I write:

“People who do not form congregations of record... Those who do not pick a minister who meets with the other ministers in a network of congregation... Those who do not try to help other congregations through regular and dependable sacrifice... are not really seeking the kingdom of God nor His righteousness but are squandering their oil... burying their talent... and are slothful in The Way of Christ, Abraham and Moses.”
“People need to repent of that thinking and start helping build a network our of love of God and not merely to gather your friends or buddies to form your own little group. That attitude is what allowed for the inquisition.”

That bothers people and when they hear it they feel stomped on because they are feeling the conviction of the truth. The Church was not just isolated little congregations but a whole body of believers providing a vast dependable Daily ministration, sometimes for many people far away.

In Ephesians 4:12 we read “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry[2], for the edifying of the body of Christ:”

The word ministry is also translated ministration and is defined “service, ministering, esp. of those who execute the commands of others...” and “the ministration of those who render to others the offices...”

How do you think Paul knew where to write his Epistles?

Why was he appointing elders to church offices?

How did he know where to take provisions with Barnabas when there was a "dearth" and a famine?

Why were Galatians and Churches in Corinth and Ephesus and Jerusalem exchanging and sending aid, ministers and funds?

How did they know where to send them, how much to send and how to distribute these resources during dearths?

Why did they appoint seven men over a Daily ministration?

For the same reason they appointed seven men in the Old Testament.

Because "YHWH" said to do so.

They did it because Moses did it and Abraham did it and Christ appointed 12 apostles to do it and they had 120 names altogether to do it and they did it. Right from the beginning at Pentecost the Apostles took on the welfare of thousands of people.

  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." Acts 2:41
  "Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand." Acts 4:4

These thousands of men were heads of families so the actual numbers of people were thousands and thousands of people.

They opted out of the Corban of Herod and the Pharisees which was making the word of God to none effect and by the act of repentance and the ritual of Baptism they took their first step toward salvation and the grace of God.

For years the pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands had been used by many peoples. The Essenes and early followers of Christ used it too. We see it in the history of the early Church throughout Europe as the predominant form of social unions.

For such networks to work it is essential that we love our neighbor and neighboring congregations as much as we love our own.[3] To focus on a local congregations would be diametrically opposed to the Gospel. Even though the family is the essential building block of all societies the teachings of Christ warns against those who would put family first before the righteousness of God.[4]

Pentecost was not the result of little congregations slowly building relationships but a major shift in the thinking of thousands of people who then formed congregations for the purpose of Christ. The primary work and hope of every congregation is to find those lost sheep who will receive and hear the words of Christ and see the vision of His kingdom, striving to pursue that Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Everyman and every congregation should have their primary purpose and intent to 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.
