Luke 21

The two-volume includes both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Aposles. They were written differently than the Epistles but as Luke-Act was used for instruction concerning The Way. The events of the text show the record of an international network of ministers and a multinational intentional community of congregation bound by a common communion of fervent charity. As a peculiar people this kingdom of heaven composed of intimate congregants of elders of families working together in the love of Christ. The early Church is seen providing emergency aid and welfare assistance in a daily ministration of Pure Religion through charity alone all over the Empire without the benefits of the legal charity nor the dainties of the benefactors of the world who exercise authority and force the sacrifices of the masses to provid the wages of unrighteousness through a social welfare of public religion.
