The Pilgrims in America were not called pilgrims until almost two hundred years after they arrived. When someone used that term they probably drew it from Hebrews 11:13 and 1 Peter 2:11.

They called themselves friends and everyone else strangers.


Pilgrims and Strangers

The original forefathers of this nation were the people who came here struggling and striving to make a new life for themselves and their children. They were the people who risked all so that their posterity might have a better life. They did not come for ease and comfort, but knowing that it would be hard they were still willing to endeavor. They took the responsibility and burdens of a free society by bearing the duty and obligation of an individuals within that society.

The forefathers of this nation included everyone who came for any reason and also those people who were here already. They were all pilgrims in this life and strangers to each other but life has a way of teaching us that which we have not yet learned in in this mix of mankind and with that a nation was born.

In the course of time that nation, with new members and new ideas and a new wilderness of modern civilization has been reformed for good and bad. To take an insightful look at the roots and realities of our nations beginning may give us a new view of our own pilgrimage on this planet and the strangers we have become tour own ancestral forefathers.

I heard a pastor state during the Thanksgiving holidays that when the pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact it was a great moment in American history where men came together and decided to “give their leaders the power to make laws.”

Nothing could be farther from the truth. This thinking may stem from changes wrought in our modern public educational system that has often expressed a different view of history than those who actually lived it. It is also a view born out of a false biblical doctrine that suggests that all governments are instituted by God.

The original Mayflower Compact did not survive but I am pretty sure God's signature is not on that document or any other government document created by the hand of man. Governments are allowed by God, but they are instituted by men and many governments, even those created by the consent or by the voice of the people, are not only contrary to what God desires for men but in truth are historically a rejection of God.

That is not to say that there is no government that is instituted by God, but simply put, except for the rarest of exceptions, most governments instituted by men are fundamentally flawed because men are flawed. The Pilgrims, like many before them and since, were simply trying to find their way back to a state of righteous liberty under God with varying degrees of success and failure.

God seems to have instituted the governing relationship and union of man and woman but binding people together in groups of families to form nations governed by rulers seems to be an invention of Cain [1] and Lemech if not Nimrod himself.[2]

Most of these city states were established by contracts and consent at first and later by bruit force. What God established, besides the the family, was the Ten Commandments which contained a prohibition against making contracts and covenants.[3]

Throughout the Bible we see stories of God and His prophets delivering men out of the hands of governments that are making laws and ruling over the people. Once the full extent of God's disapproval of this addiction of men to consent to rulers and grant more and more power to men is understood it would seem strange to find any faithful minister of Christ praising the idea of giving men the power to make laws and rule over them.

From Nimrod to Egypt or Saul to the cry of the Pharisees[4] there is little biblical evidence to praising the voice of the people 1 Samuel 8. Voice of the People http://www.hisholychurch.org/news/articles/voice.php </Ref> when they relinquish of rights granted by God to allow men rule over those rights.


Compacting and Covenants

The Mayflower Compact was not a “forerunner of the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.”[5] There is some serious question as to why passengers on the Mayflower even felt it was needed or what effect it actually had. The idea that this was the beginning of government or granting the power of any men in that place to rule and make laws for everyone else is absurd.

History has been ripe with men who learned to govern themselves or govern their brothers or neighbors. The success stories included men who were self-sacrificing and full of virtue, and the history of the failures were born of another ilk.

In the days of early American settlements men came here for a variety of reasons and diversity of moral values. Some came for wealth and adventure, some for liberty to sin and some for liberty to serve God.

Phineas Pratt in his own narration of his arrival on these shores in 1622 said, “In the time of spiritual darkness, when the State Ecclesiastical of Rome ruled and over ruled most of the nations of Europe, it pleased God to give wisdom to many, kings and people, in breaking that spiritual yoke.”

The Separatists who came on the Mayflower were the Brownists of Leiden. Robert Browne taught that congregation should autonomously run its own affairs. He and his brother had obtained preaching licenses from the authorities but Robert burned his in protest. By 1579, he was openly criticizing the Church, its administration and leadership in Cambridge and was promptly arrested and jailed.

During 1583 a Proclamation banned the buying, selling or possession of his writings which led to the hanging of John Copping and Elias Thacker for selling Browne's “seditious” writings on faith and the Church. [6]

There had been a melding of the right arm of civil or royal government with the will of the Church for some time in England. Since men of the Church began to crown other men over their brothers kings felt it profitable to enforce the will of men claiming to be the Church and servants of God.

These claims were beginning to be questioned by the people. They believed that the Church was cut from a different cloth that that of those who claimed the office and often put their lives on the line just to ask the question, “What does the Church established by Christ really look like?”

There was a short step from questioning the Church to questioning the kings and magistrates who wheeled the sword in its defense. Millions of people had been mutilated and murdered in defense of the doctrines of what said it was the Church appointed by the prince of Peace. Most of the people in England bowed to the King or the Pope as the head of the Church and those who bowed to Christ alone as the head of the Church were suspected of heresy if not treason or both.

“The Brownists believe that every congregation should constitute and independent, self-governing body, and should use no forms of prayer.”[7] William “Brewster helped establish the Separatist Church of Scrooby, which believed that the foundation of the Church was God's Spirit.” [8]

It was these congregationalists, like the Brownists, who were calling themselves “Separatists”. They were a minority on board the Mayflower. The Separatist called the others on board “Strangers”. The Strangers called themselves "loyal subjects" of King James and members of the Church of England. In fact only 27 of the adults were Separatists. Of the of the original 102 settlers 32 were children and the remaining 43 adults were Strangers.

In the Mayflower Compact there is no reference to giving any leaders the power to make law, tax the individual or force compliance to arbitrary laws made by leaders elected. There is a recognition of the “dread Sovereign Lord, King James” and there is an agreement to “mutually” work together as a “Body Politick” for their “Preservation” of all “by Virtue” “for the General good of the Colony”. [9]

This compact was a social contract which is an “agreement, or covenant by which men are said to have abandoned the ‘state of nature’ to form the society in which they now live...” It “Assumes that men at first lived in a state of anarchy where there was no society, no government, and no organized coercion of the individual by the group… by the social contract men had surrendered their natural liberties in order to enjoy the order and safety of the organized state.” [10]

The reference here to anarchy will confuse modern citizenry that believes the term is synonymous with chaos. Anarchy has acquired as many definitions over the years as the word government. “A social state in which there is no governing person or group of people, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder).” [11]

“Anarchists are those who advocate the absence of the state, arguing that common sense would allow people to come together in agreement to form a functional society allowing for the participants to freely develop their own sense of morality, ethics or principled behaviour. The rise of anarchism as a philosophical movement occurred in the mid 19th century, with its idea of freedom as being based upon political and economic self-rule.” [12]

This is not to suggest that there is or should be no law, but simply non enacted by men alone to regulate the individual lives of the people or their God given right. The creator of the universe put in motion basics laws that govern the disciplines or science of nature and therefore society in a natural state. Some times those laws are written on stones or paper by and through the opinions of men. Unless they are also written on the hearts and minds of men alternatives systems may be required. The compacts and constitutions are often established in the vacuum of a virtue-less society to its own detriment.

Early Israel had no kings to exercise authority one over the other. [13] And when Jesus appointed the kingdom to His disciples [14] they were told not to “exercise authority one over the other” like the other governments instituted by men.[15] These ambassadors of Christ were claiming there was another king, one Jesus, and were clearly governing and provide for themselves without applying to the benefactors of the Roman or Pharisaic governments.

The governments instituted by men as an alternative to the Kingdom of God are often accomplished with Covenants, Compacts and Constitutions. [16] For those systems to be lawful they must be created by some form of consent. [17]

A social contract is when a man casts in his lot with other men, abandoning his original Natural State under God, in exchange for the social security offered by an organized corporate body or State. With the surrender of his “natural liberties”, he becomes part of a larger whole with certain advantages and disadvantages.

This contracting of rights, often in exchange of benefits, is done at the cost of liberty. Through his trust in this larger body politic, he becomes a partaker of the whole body or nation. He has created this new State with his own hands.

By striking hands with that corporate State, a man goes under a new authority, abandoning his natural liberty, to be captured in the web of his own creation, [18] often in hope of gain.

In 1620, the Pilgrims attempted to establish the “City of God”, ironically based upon a social contract, the Mayflower Compact with “Strangers”. Although the Compact was short lived and granted no real centralized authority there would be other agreements which would bring people into subjection.

The Bible warns [19] us over and over again about making contracts with others that bind us to service or subjection and these warnings continued through out the New Testament. [20] Because these warnings are disregarded or ignored by the modern Church some people, through social compact, give the state the power to take from its members for the welfare of society. That power has been deemed a foolish rejection of God.[21] “It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.” [22]

This was not the terms nor purpose of the Mayflower Compact. It was not a delegation of power but a mutual plea for cooperation for the good of all. While the written compact was signed in hope of binding their loyalty one to another, it would be the blood, sweat and tears they would shed together that would forge the true bonds of society. The whole story of these pilgrims, both Separatists and Strangers, may never be entirely known.

One thing is clear that they came to change the wilderness and were changed by it.


Still Strangers and Pilgrims

Today, some think we are still "strangers and pilgrims on the earth" without a city. But that does not seem to have been the consensus in the early Church. Of course they were doing things much differently than modern Christians who seem to have lost their way or at least the way of Christ.

The early Christians had a city. But it was not a fixed city on the land like London or New York or Los Angeles which will crumble into the ground some day. Theirs was a city of light and righteousness.

To find that city of light you cannot just leave the "city" you are in today. You have to repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness by striving to attend to the weightier matters of the law according to the way of Christ.

Hebrews 11:13 "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."

The word city is polis[23] in the Greek.

Jesus uses the same word in Matthew 5:14, "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." He is instructing his apostles and followers to be that light and city as he continues in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The people of Israel were pilgrims and strangers but the Hebrews passage is talking about the city that actually is given to us, not as a location, but as something to be a part of.

Hebrews 12:22 "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant..."

Jesus appointed His Church to be the Benefactors of the people with out exercising authority one over the other. They cannot do this without the people taking back the responsibility of being the children of God and the citizens of His city of light.

Separating oneself from the world does not keep us from being strangers to God.

We are given clues as to how to prepare ourselves for His citizenship in Hebrews 13:12-16:

"Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."

The early Christians did not just separate themselves from the world but were a government of love expressing that love through the Daily ministration of righteousness and the daily sacrifice of their charity.

Paul tells us that in Philippians 1:27:

"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"

The word "conversation" is politeuomai[24] which means "to be a citizen" which means "to administer civil affairs" of that city of light.

We are told in Philippians 3:20:

"For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"

The word conversation here is again politeuma[25] which is defined "the administration of civil affairs or of a commonwealth".

Christ preached of a kingdom, a government, where men were not bound by oaths and contracts but by coming together in one accord through the law for love of one another. This meant they attended 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.

.

This is why we see in Ephesians 2:19, 22:

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."


Many think they have come out, but that command was to His people who were already walking in the citizenship of God the Father. They were not just saying "Lord, Lord"[27] but they were doing the will of the Father.[28] It was those people baptized in water and in fire who had gathered in congregations of Elders connected in a Network of charity according to the ancient patters of tens, hundreds and thousands and were fitly framed together ... unto an holy temple in the Lord.

The ministers of Christ are the servants of Christ who serve the people in righteousness. They do not come to exercise authority one over the other. They are the living stones of His Altars and Temple who come in His name practicing Pure Religion, not in the name of Nimrod practicing Public religion.

The ministers cannot perform the service of the living temple of God without the loving sacrifice of the people moved by the Holy Spirit in their hearts and in their minds. The early Christians were doing that and because of that Christian conflict they were persecuted, yet persevered. It was these people who believed in Christ and kept his commandments and it was these people whom he called My people.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4

There is no point in claiming to have come out if you are not diligently walking in the ways of Christ and His appointed Church. Those who say they are His people but have not repented nor are they administering civil affairs of His Kingdom of God and city of light fall short of the Gospel of the kingdom.
