Unchurched

People would have to be in a hypnotic state to believe that Christ wanted them to pray at a modern Church building but if they actually need anything they should go to "men who exercise authority one over the other"?
Jesus was so clear that His disciples were instructed to not be that way.
While the Testaments are also clear that you may legally apply for a multitude of benefits through a socialist state, but not without consequences. Dependence upon "legal charity" will make you "merchandise", "curse children" and bring again the captivity of Egypt. This is undoubtedly why both the Testaments tells us not to covet.
Those gifts, gratuities, and benefits are the wages of unrighteousness which destroy liberty and degenerate the people into perfect savages because they are the dainties and deceitful meats of rulers provided through the covetous practices of the world which "makes the word of God to none effect".
But the modern Christian does that every day to get free schooling for their children, and social security for their parents and a myriad of other public benefits imagining they are not "workers of iniquity".
How is that the daily ministration of the early Church, the table of the LORD which is not a snare? How is fhat seeking the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness? The Christian conflict with Rome was with the welfare system of the Imperial Cult of Rome and the public religion of the world and others like Herod and the Pharisees which was again "making the word of God to none effect".
We are to live by faith, hope, and charity which is love according to The Way of Christ and not the force, fear, and fealty which was the the ways of the world.
If Modern Christians, Jews, and Muslims would repent and seek to see the truth of their own history they could recover from the strong delusion of public religion. They think they understand the teachings in the Bible but have been doing the opposite of what doctrine of Jesus, Moses, and Abraham were telling their followers to do for over a century

"Unchurched" as an adjective is defined as "not belonging to or connected with a church". When concerning religious participation, it refers specifically to people who do not attend worship services. A worship services or "church service" or sometimes called a "service of worship" is a formal group or communal gathering to perform a wide variety of what is often called "worship" in some ceremonial or ritualistic Christian tradition generally involving some form of clergy.

According to one christian polling group if someone does not attend a church for 6 months they can be counted as unchurched. That makes for wide range of people who would be classified as unchurched. The reason for not attending Church can be very broad and unrelated.

There are people who claim to be "unchurched" who are seeking to deconstruct the modern "organized church" model which they find unsatisfactory while at the same time are seeking ways of establishing genuine church community centered around a faith in Christ and His Way. Many of the people labeled as the unchurched have made a conscious decision to go about things a different way than the paths and practices offered by the Modern Churches today.

They have often attempted to adapt themselves into a paradigm presented by modern church community with neither satisfaction or success. They are often seeking an intimate group environment into which they might grow and thrive. Thee attempt to conform to the Churches often fails but so o their attempts to conform to others. The church is not a social club and certainly not merely a community. We can only hope to conform to Christ by doing the will of the Father.

While the modern Church and the modern Christian often are not doing the will of the father nor doing things as Christ commanded the unchurched choose to go another way, is that way The Way of Christ?

An important question might be what is "worship" or what is "religious worship" or what is "religion" since the definitions of these words have changed over the years. Today "worship" has been defined as "reverent honor and homage paid to God" while "worship service" has been defined as "to show profound religious devotion and respect to; adore or venerate (God or any person or thing considered divine)". But if we examine the Bible we see in Luke 6:46 Jesus saying "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" and in Exodus 20:5 we see "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;"

This reference to bowing down is a form o worship in the sense of homage or adoration but it also includes actual serving.

This reference to actual service to God in the form of services performed by people serving others seemse to be at the core of Christ and His purposes as we see in Luke 22:27 "For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth." and in John 12:26 "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour."

In John 12:26 we see another reference to actual service beyond mere ritual or ceremony of the Modern Church, "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour." And again in Luke 12:37 "Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."

There was a church appointed by Christ that 'continued daily with one accord in the temple, dividing bread from house to house so that the people were able to eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart. This distribution of bread and provisions by the ministers of the Church trained an appointed by Christ was different from that free bread distributed by Rome. It was the product of faith, hope and charity through the perfect law of liberty and was not merely the distribution of a ritualized wafer of bread but consisted of the community of Christians engaged in the Eucharist of Christ. It was the result of the perfect law of liberty and was at the core of the Christian conflict.

Christianity was not merely a feeling nor a fancy. Christians had changed their thinking about the Corban of the Pharisees and Rome and were seeking the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of God. Being "Unchurched" is not enough to conform to Christ.

Told from the beginning

• We were told from the beginning that the slothful shall be under tribute and that through "covetous practices" we would be made "merchandise" and would curse our children as a 'surety' for debt in a snare, being entangled in a yoke of bondage under the taxation of the world.
• There are few more covetous practices than socialism and the world has been becoming more and more socialist every year. The modern Christian and their Churches are in conflict with Christ and His Church because they are biting one another, serving the Fathers of the earth, and praying to the Benefactors who are exercising authority over one another.
• Christ commanded we turn away from the covetous practices of the world to a daily ministration of sacrifice through faith, hope, and charity like the early Church rather than the ways of force, fear, and fealty of the world of Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, the Pharisees, and Caesar.
• The modern Christian has pursued the same Corban of social welfare which made the word of God to none effect like the Pharisees did. Since they have abandoned The Way of the early Church for the wages of unrighteousness becoming workers of iniquity they need to be subject to tribute.
