Comments

The Kingdom of God is one form of government.

It is like a pure Republic where the people follow The Way.

Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh and others had many other ways and used other Welfare types that employed the people as subjects under their protection and control by a social contract.

Abraham left Haran with many souls and Moses left Egypt with a nation. Both built altars of sacrifice but neither seemed to use taxation of the people to sustain their societies.

There was no king in Israel but there were freewill offerings.

What was the early Church doing that was like the Levites?

The Kingdom of God shall be taken from the Pharisees.

The apostles were appointed a kingdom but they were not to rule over the people but depended upon charity and hope through faith.

A nation may go into bondage by seeking protection, benefits and employment because of an appetite where they are biting one another.

* Do you go to Church to attend to the weightier matters?

: How do covetous practices turn you into merchandise and curse children and make you a surety for debt?

* Why were you told in the Ten Commandments to make no covenant?

* What is the difference between 'Kingdom of God' and 'Kingdom of Heaven' or are the terms interchangeable?

The Kingdom, a Society under God

We have been directed to preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The word kingdom¹⁵⁴ in the New Testament is translated from a Greek word that has more to do with the right or authority to be ruled by someone, rather than rule in a particular place or location. God endowed everyman with certain unalienable rights. The kingdom is that body of men and women, righteous in their generations, seeking the will of God, faithful to His ways and having no other gods before Him. Nor do they oppress the stranger or covet their neighbors’ goods for their own benefit. They are free souls under God.

Abraham left Haran with many souls. Moses led the people out of the bondage of the Egyptian government. The Israelites wandered in the desert under a different system of self government. The people were required to attend to the needs of that society of God by free will offerings through a network of voluntary contributions. This is what John¹⁵⁵ and Jesus preached. This is the kingdom.

The people were told to never again go back¹⁵⁶ to the Egyptian system of bondage¹⁵⁷ and compulsory offerings.¹⁵⁸ Such systems were like the city of Cain and Nimrod ruled by benefactors who exercised authority, ruling over their neighbors in covetous systems that made the word of God to none effect.

In the ancient days of the kingdom the people had been freed by God through Abraham and Moses. There was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes¹⁵⁹ in a system of self governance by freewill offerings and public servants who could not exercise authority.

That system worked for a whole nation until the people rejected God.¹⁶⁰ When the “voice of the people” chose to give their power of choice to Saul they gave up a right given them by God. Under bondage they forgot the precepts of God and were soon overcome by selfishness, sloth, and superstition.

Christ came as king to take that kingdom away from those who were supposed to be bearing fruit and give it to another who would take their place.¹⁶¹ They were not maintaining an entrance to the kingdom of God.¹⁶² In fact, they kept people from entering the ways of God through their ordinances.¹⁶³

Jesus was the king, doing the work of a righteous king setting the people free. He told us to teach all nations how that kingdom functioned in the name of God¹⁶⁴ under the perfect law of liberty.

The Free Church Report

The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according to the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war, the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other.”
The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but were not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban of the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.
