The Slothful
Those who just want to complain and point fingers should know that the Slothful shall be under tribute and should be.
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. The word republic did not mean an indirect democracy but a society of freemen owning their own land and untaxed by all the "World". This meant they had to care for one another by free choice and freewill offerings.
How do they get consent? Contract.
But that contract may be constructive. Plutarch warned us and Polybius wrote about it even before John the Baptist and Peter.[1] and James [2]
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 covetous applications for benefits and advantage from someone who Exercises authority to be a benefactor to you diminishes your rights or at least the access to them and increases 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.
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.
- ↑ 2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
- ↑ Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
