Template:Government
Government is presently defined as the governing body of a nation, state, or community.
- "an agency of the federal government"
- the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed.
- "a secular, pluralistic, democratic government"
- the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people.
- "rules for the government of the infirmary"

It is from the Greek word kuberman which means steer. It has come to mean rule or force. We find the word kubernesis[1] 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.
