"In truth, it has been the our abandonment of the righteousness of God's one form of government for the wages of unrighteousness and dainties of rulers, fathers of the earth and benefactors who exercise authority in and of the world that has made us blind and vulnerable to the despotic spirits of darkness, like the "Corban of the Pharisees that has made the word of God to none effect"."
"Polybius warned the Masses of having an appetite for benefits of rulers in 150 BC. But Proverbs warned about the same danger from the Dainties of rulers even earlier than that. David and Paul warned us of the tables of those men who exercise authority one over the other. In fact, John the Baptist, Jesus the Christ, and all the apostles gave us similar warnings. The only one who is not warning us is the Modern Church who should have provided the table of Christ through a daily ministration of Charity through the practice of Pure Religion and the perfect law of liberty."
