A Disciple is "One who embraces and assists in spreading the teachings of another."
We believe that all the problems in the world are a result of people turning their backs on the ways of God which is the way of Christ.
We believe that one of the reasons the established religion of the day wanted to crucify Christ was because of the conflict between those who promoted a socialist welfare system run by the government that called themselves a benefactor but exercised authority one over the other.
That system of social welfare by societies was called Corban in Israel and Judea. It was called Qorban in Rome and Korban by others. These systems all required sacrifice from the people where what they contributed to the needs of society was managed by chosen public servants.
Religion was defined at the time of Christ and the constitution as "practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men.”
There were two tyes of systems. The System of Cain, Nimrod, Pharoah and Caesar operated by forcing the contributions of the people by staturory commands while the system of Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and the early Church operated by free will offerings or what the Bible cals faith, hope and charity or Paul calls the perfect law of liberty.
The first system weakens society and increases the power of central governments through civil benefactors. The latter strengthens community by awakening virtue in the people and therefore provides the foundation for a free society.
Christ instituted the Church to be those benefactors who do not exercise authority one over the other but feed his sheep, provided daily bread and took care of the daily ministration of the needy in pure religion as Rome declined..
As history is now repeating itself we desire to do what those early Christians were doing. Like the early Church we must be foreign to the state religions which includes social security.
