The most predominant form of government throughout history has been based on voluntary systems composed of a Network of what was called the tens, hundreds, and thousands. The original Israel, the Teutons and many others societies all did this including the early Church did this to create a Daily ministration in order to practice Pure Religion which was the Corban of Christ.

Government is presently defined as the governing body of a nation, state, or community.

The word is also defined as:

  • "the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed."

Which may include:

  • "the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people."

And:

  • "the group of people in office at a particular time; administration."

We assume that government is a matter of force by those who govern. But the word govern only means:

  • "conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people)."

While a government may include "rulers", no where do these definitions of "government" require a "ruler" who rules over the people. There is a rich history of governments and nations operating as diversified networks of voluntary systems of individuals living by the perfect law of liberty. In fact, “our modern reliance on government to make law and establish order is not the historical norm.”[1]

What if "the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed" only included people who did not exercise authority or "rule" one over the other?

What if "the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people" was the result of freewill cooperation of self governing individuals who governed their own choice without exercising authority or "ruling" one over the other?

What if "the group of people in office at a particular time" provided a [[daily ministration by voluntarism and charity through the perfect law of liberty without exercising rule one over the other?

What if conduct and policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people). was to not exercise authority one over the other?

What if it was the policy of a particular form of "government" to only serve the people without being rulers, through a voluntary system of public affairs where those people in government were not allowed to exercise authority one over the other?

The word government is from the Greek word kuberman which means steer. It has come to mean rule or force due to the pervasive types of Statism.

Most government types come about because of some form of Social contract.

While most all of them include some form of centralized power in the hands of a small group of rulers, the amount of power may vary, as in the case of Minarchism versus Communism or Fascism.

This power, which comes in several forms, is often like the camels nose in the tent. Once some power is granted to a central government, it usually leads to more and more power relinquished by the people.

A constitutional Republic often leads to Democracy and to other forms of Collectivism, and then Socialism which leads to Communism. A religious dependence on Altruism by the diligent Anarchist may produce a Viable republic or at least a Republican form of government functioning according to the Perfect law of liberty, which was The Way to set society free.

But there are many forms of government.

We find the word kubernesis[10] translated government in 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."

Christ appointed a government that was not to exercise authority one over the other. But that "one form of government" was to provide benefits for the welfare of the people through Charity, or what was called Corban, made possible by the Freewill offerings of the people willing to practice Pure Religion instead of the Covetous Practices of most of the people of the World.
