biting one another or treading[1] on poor through men who exercise authority is a covetous practices that fills your house with leaven found in the cities of blood.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In the right to your "pursuit of Happiness" the "right" is in the "pursuit", not in the "Happiness". Anyone promising to give, grant, or guarantee your "Happiness" is sabotaging your right to the pursuit and will degenerate all your other rights in the process.
John the Baptist and Jesus both begin with the instruction for us to "SEEK" ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Anyone who desires benefits from the state at the expense of their neighbor does not believe in the autonomy of the individual nor their body. To desire gain from another person's labor without continuous consent is the essence of slavery and the slogan "My body, My choice" becomes hypocrisy.
Bondage
Bondage is "the state of being a slave."
It is from the Anglo-Latin bondagium, from Middle English bond ‘serf’ (earlier ‘peasant, householder’), from Old Norse bóndi ‘tiller of the soil,’ based on búa ‘dwell’; influenced in sense by bond.
Bond is defined "physical restraints" but also as "an agreement with legal force, in particular."[2]
Israel was in bondage in Egypt because the people made "an agreement with legal force, in particular" with the Pharaoh during a time a famine.[3] This agreement was a contract or covenant that bound them and their successors. They had to make this agreement because they were not ready for that famine when it came. They might have been ready but because of jealousy and envy they had betrayed and sold their own brother into bondage.
So what really brought the people into bondage?
The bondage of Israel in Egypt, and their subjugation at other times by the Philistines and other nations, are sometimes included under the title of Captivity.
Was it the famine or was it envy and jealousy, covetous selfishness and abusive pride?
Corban was a religious Rite for the welfare of the people but under the Pharisees it was making the people Slaves and Servants. In truth Nimrod had been a "mighty provider instead of the Lord" that made free men subjects like Pharaoh and FDR.
What brought about this bondage? Was it "selfishness and pride"?
Wasn't it a rejection of the ways of God which are love of God and each other that brought them into bondage?
So, it was jealousy, covetousness, and selfishness that was in their hearts and their minds that truly bound them. But it was the fact that “The contract makes the law.”[4] that bound them, not as captured slaves but as members of a Corvee system of statutory servitude or bondage. Their dependence grew until heavy burdens of debt drove the final nails into a coffin for their hope of liberty.
It is not different today.
Today, we apply for benefits from men who exercise authority one over the other and we call them Benefactors. This is contrary to the ways of God and the saying of Jesus Christ[5] yet we pretend to be followers of Christ.
So, four hundred years later the Israelite people in Egypt were still in bondage not because of what they did but because of what their parents did many years before. This was a system of Corvee that employed the labor of society into a system of civil Bondage based on contract.
Like the Kingdom of God which is from generation to generation[6] their bondage was also from generation to generation.
This is because “That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also.”[7]
So this bondage was brought about by sin, by a rejection of God by the voice of the people. That bondage depended upon the mechanics of the law but the driving force that ensnared them was wantonness and greed, sloth and neglect, covetness and avarice.
The same that was true under Egypt was also true under 1 Samuel 8 and Saul and many other Benefactors who exercised authority one over the other from Cain to Nimrod and of course Herod and Caesar.
Jesus came to save the whole world not to condemn it.[8]
"Redemption is deliverance from the power of an alien dominion and the enjoyment of the resulting freedom. It involves the idea of restoration to one who possesses a more fundamental right or interest. The best example of redemption in the Old Testament was the deliverance of the children of Israel from bondage, from the dominion of the alien power in Egypt." [9]
Doing it again
For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, 2 Kings 17:7
People have sinned again and gone back into very similar bondage of Egypt and the bondage under the Pharisees in a system of Corban which was making the word of God to none effect. Modern Christians claim to have repented and say they are following Jesus and believe in what he said but they are not doing what He said nor what the early Church did.
Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. 2 Kings 17:13
Like the people of 1 Samuel 8 they have actually rejected God and His righteous ways and sought other gods who rule over them, make laws deciding what is good and evil and whom they serve.
You know a Christian not by what he says but by what he does. Do those calling themselves Christians Keep the Commandments or are they engaged in covetous practices? Do the gods they have chosen for themselves act like a beast, going about devouring who they will, murdering the innocent.[10]
Does the Modern Christian follow in The Way of Christ or has they become workers of iniquity because he deceived to believe a lie and has gone under a strong delusion?
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." (John 8:36)
So what was the salvation of Christ?
Are you a true believer?
Are they really saved?
Most Modern Christians do not really want to believe that they are in need of salvation because they believe they are saved already. But we know that there is a strong delusion prophesied where they would believe a lie.[11]
This delusion would come upon the people after the working of Satan's [12] lying ways. The people would be decieved because their hearts would be willing to receive his lies as they have done from the beginning.[13]
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People will not love the truth enough to see that they are going or have gone back into the bondage under the rudiments or elements of the world.[14]
It is not because they were not told that such bondage would come because the Bible is explicit and detailed in the matter of the people becoming Merchandise and how they would be snared again.
Christ had instructed His Little flock and instituted His Church as "one form of government" for the purpose of strengthening the poor. If the people would turned around and follow The Way it would set them free but only if they repented, forgave and gave willingly to the daily benefit of one another in the love of Pure Religion.
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" (Colossians 2:14)
While, “The law (jus) is the rule of right; and whatever is contrary to the rule of right is an injury”.[15]
Human Laws
“Human laws (lex, leges) are born, live, and die.”[16]
In the book the Covenants of the gods there are fifteen chapters reduced down to a few pages each. The stripped down text demonstrates the simple mechanics of the present bondage of the world and relates it to history, law and the Bible.
Each chapter represents pieces of a puzzle that has brought society to its knees from the time of Cain and Nimrod to the modern Caesars and Fathers of the earth. But the driving force that pushes and pulls mankind into subjection is not the machinery of bondage but their own personal Sloth and Covetous Practices.
Admitting we are not free is a primary step but it is often much harder to confess our own part in this universal descent into slavery. The Roman type jurisdictions of the world today can only be overcome by the righteousness of Christ's teachings.
They cannot merely be studied but must be written on our hearts.[17] This is key to the liberty of Christ that sets us free.[18]
The modern Church does not teach the simplicity of the Doctrines of Jesus in their historical context nor the significance of Christ's conflict with the Corban of the Pharisees and of the Christian conflict with Rome. To hear the differences and similarities between then and now comparing the early church with what we see today claiming to be the Church and christian may open our hearts to receive the truth.
- We need to understand what Pure Religion is.
- Why it was outlawed during that Christian conflict?
- What was Public religion?
- What those Pagan Temples were really all about?
- How was their Corban making the word of God to none effect?
- Why were they kicked out of the Welfare system of pharisees if they got the Baptism of Christ?
- Who were the Benefactors and Fathers of the earth?
- What was the Diocletianic Persecution who are the gods many?
- How did the Imperial Cult of Rome make the people Merchandise?
This overthrow the comfortable paradigm of false religion but allow the function of Christ's comforter the Holy Spirit into our hearts. This is why humility is emphasized by Christ and why confession is good for the soul. Seeing your part can only be done if we are humble enough to admit our error, our sloth and covetousness which has brought us under dominion of others.
The first actual step we see preached by Christ is to repent. To repent is to think a different way and even go a different way.
What way would that be?
Jesus said to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Righteousness is "a state approved of God". That state would include "integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking, feeling, and acting".
Christ said also to seek, strive[19] and be steadfast and diligent.[20]
When asked how to obtain Eternal life he told us to Keep the Commandments which meant the Ten Commandments which Christ summed up into Two commandments.
These commandments were painting a picture of what righteousness looked like or did not look like. They were marking the way of God. If we were violating any of these commandments by policy or practice that was sure evidence to us and others that we were not following Christ and our faith in Him was falling short. There were other layers of repentance.
Each of these ten guideposts of virtue were showing us a way.
A Community of Christ
Christ came to set us free in Spirit and in truth. He appointed some men to teach and preach us what that looked like but were told not to rule over us, nor set others to rule over us. That group of appointed ministers were eventually called the Church.
There are lots of institutions of men today calling themselves Churches but they are not all doing the same thing and many of them by policy and practice often give sure evidence that they are not following Christ although they will vehemently and even violently deny that.
The legal definition of the Church today maybe true but it is only Christ who can define His institution. While it is defined as one form of government and all governments bind men in one form or another, the bonds of the kingdom of God are not like the bonds of men.
The word Bond is also defined as a "a force or feeling that unites people; a common emotion or interest." When that force is the power of God's love people are bound by the name or character of God. They are bound by faith Hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty.
When the bonds are not bands or bonds of force and exercising authorities[21]
Was Joseph forced to be a slave?
His brothers could not have legally sold their brother and they illegally beat him and threw him in a pit. Cousins offered money to the brothers if they would give there brother to them.
The brothers agreed and Joseph was ransomed out of the pit. Now Joseph was in debt to his rescuers because they payed the ransom and saved his life. While under the bonds of this debt, he was sold to people in Egypt as merchandise.
Debt is an unbreakable bond of slavery.
The synonyms of bond includes'promise, pledge, vow, oath, word (of honor), guarantee...
Synonyms for bondage include slavery, enslavement, servitude, subjugation, subjection, even oppression, domination, exploitation...
Americans' dependence on government had begun years before continued its decent into bondage during the great depression. They sought a welfare that was a snare.
Paul says in Romans 11:9 "And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"[22]
Paul goes onto say:
"Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway." (Romans 11:10)
It is pride and arrogance and while in the fullness of bread we weakened the poor through the practice of Socialism that caused America to loose its vision of righteousness and The Way of God.
"And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." (John 9:39)
Many Nimrods
The Nimrod's and Cain's of the world come about because we love our neighbor less than we love ourselves.
Small acts of charity may make us look like nice people but the command is to love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves. That word love is also the same word for charity.
We claim to love one another in the comfort of our churches while modern pastors and priests often tickle our ears with the doctrines of men but in the covetous practices of the world we have become a part of we are biting one another through men who exercise authority.[23]
According to Christ the Corban of the Pharisees which was the sacrifice of the pharisees was making the word of God to none effect. That is and abomination. The daily sacrifice they should have been making was the Corban of Christ.
Two litugies
The liturgy of the world, the flesh and the devil is not according to the doctrine of Jesus but the doctrines of men and the Corban of the world which is a snare.
The liturgy of Christ is expressed in the culture of Christ according to the daily ministration of the Corban of Christ.
Jesus as theChrist wanted us to repent.[24]
Seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness is not seeking a comfortable modern church or home church that has the right rituals and music or comfortable pews or right calendar or imagined Hebrew roots and festivals.
It is seeking and edifying with a daily sacrifice or daily ministration of fervent charity rightly dividing a daily bread from house to house in a network supported by freewill offerings unspotted by the public religion and legal charity of the world of Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Herod, nor FDR and his not so New Deal.
The Corban of Christ where the people provide for all the people in hope and faith through charity rather than a socialist society is Pure Religion. Those who institute the rule of force with an appetite for benefits will become accustomed to living at the expense of others and depending for their livelihood on the property of others will become perfect savages with seared consciences. They will seek a "master and monarch" to fight their battles or drain the swamp of their own corruption.
John the Baptist said make straight the way of the Lord but the Modern Church has become promoters of the abomination of desolation which is the socialist state.
US Citizens became a part of the corvée[25] of the United States Federal Government. They forgot the words of prophets and historians like Polybius and Plutarch.
The cause of this descent was not FDR and his Socialist ways but because the people were already rejecting God. They had become blind and the Churches did not speak out nor was there virtue present in the people enough to turn the tide of these Covetous Practices.
So Americans went into captivity.
What did God direct in the past when such captivity came upon the people?
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; 5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace." (Jeremiah 29:4-7)
But instead of using this time to grow and learn to listen we continued to rebel and not return until God needed to send even more calamity upon the people, to awaken them.[26] Eventually the Governments of the world as the Benefactors and Fathers of the wicked who are Biting one another are sorely afflict the so that they Cry out and Repent willingly returning to attend to the Weightier matters.
"To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." (Acts 26:18)
And like the days of Egypt people stand before the heavenly courts.[27]
If we will not forgive neither will we be forgiven. If we will not minister mercy then neither shall we receive mercy. If we will not give neither will we be given too.
Even when the calamity comes it test with fire and will free the faithful are seeking the righteousness of God ion all things.[28]
The reason we are in bondage is covetousness, sloth, avarice, pride and wantonness.
We cannot save ourselves but:
- We can repent.
- We can seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness
- By being charitable instead of covetous,
- By being diligent instead of slothful,
- By being generous without avarice,
- By being humble rather than proud,
- By being merciful opposed to wanton.
- Then God may hear our cry and lift our curse.
If we were coming together in the name of Christ Jesus we would be gathering to save others and not just ourselves and those we love for what grace have you if you only love those who love you.
