Benefactors

The word appears once in the Bible and is translated from the Greek word euergetēs (εὐεργέτης)

The word is defined first as benefactor. And the word Benefactor ben·e·fac·tor ˈbenəˌfaktər, noun
plural: benefactors

Benefactor is defined as:

1. a person who gives money or other help to a person or cause.

synonyms: patron, from the Latin Patri Father

The Blueletter Bible Website gives a second definition of "a title of honour, conferred on such as had done their country service, and upon princes, equivalent to Soter, Pater Patriae".

A "Pater Patriae" is the father of a country. We see Jesus using the word we see as benefactor in relationship to the governments of the other nations who force the contributions of the people to provide welfare like Corban or in Rome Qorban.

"And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 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." Luke 22:25-27

This was a primary instruction by Christ to his apostles when he appointed them a kingdom.

"And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;" Luke 22:29

The same reference to governments that exercise authority one over the other is found in :

Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

And

Mark 10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

All these direct statements from Jesus include the admonition that "But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;"

The early Church had to take care of the daily ministration to the needy and feed the flock of Jesus Christ often by sharing free bread from house to house.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

Anyone who got the Baptism of the Apostles instead o the Baptism of Herod were cast out of the system of social welfare run through the temples.

John 9:22 These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

At Pentecost thousands and thousands of Jews opted out of the social welfare system set up by Herod and the Pharisees and opted into the social welfare system of Christ.

Christ's system operated by charity and love and the perfect law of liberty while the one of Herod's operated by forcing its members to pay in but making the word of God to none effect.

These Apostles and a network of ministers that came together in the upper room were to feed his sheep and love one another.

They would have to take care of the social welfare of the people through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty because they would be kicked out of the social welfare system set up by Herod and other countries like Rome.

A lot of people think the phrase "Taxation without representation" is in the declaration of independence.

Not so.

They were complaining about "taxation without consent".

Consent was not collective for America was not yet a democracy. Most of the colonies were talking about being a republic. That does not mean an indirect democracy but a society of freemen owning their own land and untaxed on that land.

How do they get consent? Contract.

You have to apply for benefits or protection from your liege, to your conscripted Fathers.

It is to him you owe your allegiance. A liege is "concerned with or relating to the relationship between a feudal superior and a vassal."

These applications for benefits from someone who exercises authority to be a benefactor to you diminishes your rights or at least the access to them and increase the power and authority of your liege.

This is why Paul, James, Jesus, Moses and the ten commandments told you not to make either application nor contract with these men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

Because to desire their benefits is to covet your neighbor's goods.

These systems were called Corban. Corban in history was either dependent on free will offerings through what we call charity or forced offering from those who contract with the rulers who call themselves benefactors but only redistribute wealth by taking from the people by law, by the law of contract and consent.

The same principle of not electing rulers who can exercise authority one over the other is expressed by Jesus' command to his called out ministers in Luke 22:25:

"And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so:"

The early church would not apply to benefactors who exercised authority. They were even persecuted for not signing up for the benefits offered by those leaders who called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other. But the modern Church not only says it is okay they encourage it.

2 Peter 2:1 tells us:

"...false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."

The Greek word for "damnable" and "destruction" is the same.

Another man years later signing an extension to the benefits for those who have signed up for a scheme of Corban that makes the word of God to none effect.

What people often do not realize is that once you sign up with these so called benefactors they are able to sign for you because they exercise authority one over the other. Their sin is now your sin because you have made a contract with them.

Your liberty, your right to choose, diminishes as you take away the liberty of your neighbor. Because you covet your neighbor's goods you become a surety for debt, literally merchandise, human resources to be used by others for their purposes like 1 Samuel warned in chapter 8 and God will not hear you when you cry for help unless you repent.

You cannot just Withdraw consent if there is debt.

Almost all the problems of the world today are connected to this simple disregard for the instructions of Christ about coveting your neighbors goods through men who exercise authority as if they were a benefactor.

It is time to repent and come together in the spirit of Christ according to His ways like the early Church.
