Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus and the early Church advocated a Daily ministration for the needy of the Christian community that was dependent on Charity only and it was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees nor the free bread of Rome. It was their Pure Religion that brought them into a Christian conflict with Public religion and the Covetous Practices of the World.
The word charity is not found in the Old Testament but freewill offerings, offering[1] which appears as Corban in the New Testament and of course sacrifice[2][3] do appear many times, to say nothing of word tithing which was a form of charity.
In the New Testament we see the word Agape[4] translated as both love and charity. But there is also sacrifice[5] and of course the word gift[6] and give[7].
Taxation is also a form of sacrifice but it is about and by force and the gifts, gratuities and benefits provided by such legal charity destroys liberty and degenerates the masses. This is why they are identified as the unrighteous mammon, the dainties of rulers, the wages of unrighteousness, and the One purse by of those greedy for gain who that through their covetous practices are snared as merchandise by the tables that should have been for their welfare.
Pure Religion was providing for the care of the needy unspotted by the world of force.


Fervent Charity

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

The root cause of all violence, oppression, depression, corruption, and despair in society today is our dependence upon the modern welfare State which is the antithesis of what Moses and Jesus, and all the prophets taught the people to do.

In one of Paul's letter he informs the Collosians that covetousness[8] is idolatry[9]. In this statement he is also identifying idolatry[9] as fornication which is a metaphor for worship[10], uncleanness which is in a moral sense having impure or selfish motives[11]. The Greek word translated "inordinate affection is Pathos[12] which is distinguished from the Logos of Christ. This thing clled idolatry is accompanied not only by a strong desire but an "evil[13] concupiscence[14] that overcomes reason, e.g.the logos.

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication[10], uncleanness[11], inordinate affection[12], evil[13] concupiscence[14], and covetousness[8], which is idolatry[9]:

Paul will go on to emphasize in in the same chapter that charity is above all things.[15] In Corinthians he not only warns us to not be partakers those benefits and dainties of rulers redistributed from the temples of idols but we should not even touch them.[16] He goes on to warn the Corinthians about their tables[17] as he did in Romans[18] to not be partakers of their tables just as David warned[19] the people and Proverbs[20] and all the Prophets before.

Remember that Paul calls out the Corinthians that they give less than many telling them that with out charity you have nothing[21] and charity is not just about giving things[22] but about love which is sacrifice and needs to be our motivation in all things.[23]

Even the Corinthian historian Polybius warned 150 years before Christ, "The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch."

Will of the masses

There is no will among the masses to divest society of the education to "legal charity". It can only be done through fervent charity one individual at a time

Fervent Charity is the antithesis of legal charity which degenerates society, injures the family, and demoralizes the people. Fervent charity strengthens the poor and humbles the rich. It breaths life into care which is the heart of a free society. Without a daily ministration of fervent charity the social bonds of society which only come with the perfect law of liberty will decay and break among those have an appetite for the dainties of rulers. The table of men who exercise authority is a snare and is always making the whole of society vulnerable to ruin.

Christians took care of all the social welfare of their society by Freewill offerings. Those offerings were freely and completely given as if they were Burnt Offerings to the ministers or stones of a sacred altar of God. Those lively stones were caretakers of the estate of Christ by His appointment and had no personal estate of their own. What was given to them was given to a sacred purpose trust separate from the world.

Will of righteousness

Their Daily ministration was tended to by a network of Church ministers. They did this by their fervent charity alone, free will giving in The Living Network of Christ;s ministers.[24]

There was lots of Government welfare offered by the Pharisees and Herod and of course Rome had an extensive welfare system managed through their own Temples but you had to sign up under an oath where the contributions were to be compelled by civil law.

While Peter is saying above all things have fervent charity James said above all things swear not[25]

This is where the Christian conflict brought persecution. Christians would not apply to men who called themselves Benefactors but exercised authority, even if it meant death. Modern Christians do that in every country even though it is coveting their neighbor's goods and contrary to the instructions of Christ.

Real Christians strive to keep the commandments of Christ because they actually love the real Christ[26] and His doctrines.

Do the will

So, what can we do to preach Christ in word and deed?[27]

Every congregation who becomes a part of The Living Network is also a part of the Faith Emergency Ministry Auxiliary of the Church, the FEMA of Christ.

To develop your FEMA skills you must practice, develop, and edify the Body of Christ by attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.


"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.


Priests and kings

Understanding the term priest requires that everyone look at the original duties of a priest within societies. Every family had someone who fulfilled the role of priest with in the family.

The Levites were called out to be the Church in the wilderness to be a priest to the nation. They could only receive a tithe by the free choice of the head of the families of the people. The people held the power of the purse of the nation Tithing In Conscience to the Levites of their choice "according to their service".

The kingdom of God by its natural structure was Elder driven since and elder was the head of the individual family.

This was why the ideas of one purse, or a golden calf, or the appetite for the dainties of the king were so abhorrent to that earlier Church in the wilderness and their prophets before it was corrupted by the ways of Cain's city State, Nimrod's Babylon, Pharaoh's Bondage of Egypt and the Caesars of Rome which we see in the Corban of the Pharisees and Herod.

The Modern Churches' were corrupted by the same covetous practices introduced into America by men like FDR and LBJ through what they called a "New Deal".

These ways of socialism have been creeping into the minds of men from Constantine to Lady Godiva but with the rise of central governments of authority the degeneration of the soul of the masses became vigorous in its decay.

In the Kingdom of God every man as a Husband in righteousness is king in his own family and his Wife is his queen. The layman is king and will remain so if he controls his own wantonness, appetite and sloth.

If the larger society composed of numerous free assemblies is to be a free community under God of heaven, as opposed to, a community of subjects under the gods of the world you must have a servant priest of your individual choosing and daily choice to provide extra family services of that broader community through the fervent charity of your votive offerings.

The priests or clergy of a free society serves communities in a broader network of free assemblies. It is essential in the Doctrines of Jesus that we are required by Him to love not only those who love us but those who we may not even know.

This is what the early Church was doing. This is what Paul and Barnabas and others were doing during those dearths that were happening at that time.

Modern Church including Home church groups have given the duties and responsibilities of the traditional priests or clergy to the administers and clerks of the systems of the world. They exercise authority one over the other unlike the priests or clergy who exercise love and charity in service to the people.


The multitude of sins

Someone on the Network asked:

"Does this include charity expressed in tithings and other contributions...? That is, if the one receiving them is doing the work of Christ of course. Can these expressions of love cover a persons sins...? Is that what this verse means...?"

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:3 "And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing."

By this we know that simply giving what we have does not mean that we have "charity" in the sense Paul is using the word. That is because the word we see translated charity is not just about giving.

The word charity is the word translated love more than 86 times and charity only 27 times. It is translated charity mostly when Paul uses it and love when Christ used it.

Paul often mentions love and faith together[29]

So, it is love not merely giving that covers a multitude of sins. Love may include giving and tithing but also includes forgiveness and keeping the commandments.

We see Jesus say in John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love."

And in:

1 John 2:5 "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."
1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."
Jude 1:21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."

Coveting and selfishness is one of those sins but so is unforgiveness and sloth. Tithing is evidence of love but it is not proof but fortunately God sees the heart. We only have to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

The History of Charity

The beginning of charity is the beginning of sharing. Sharing may always involves sacrifice from one to another without a right of a return yet producing and effect.

Adam and Eve shared the tree of life but also the forbidden fruit. The truth is sharing may have begun with the first two cells who were joined together even before Adam Knew his Eve. The first group of protons and neutrons sharing an electron certainly predated any other sharing. But all life seems to reproduce and flourish through sharing of some sort.

Cain and Able constructed altars where the value of things were transmuted beyond their value to the one making the offer to another. In the story of Cain and Able one ploughs the adamah while the other tends sheep. They both establish altars upon which their sacrifice is burned up to them. One produces a postive outcome while the other does not. The difference may be uncovered through an examination of the Sophistry of the words telling the story.

The counter thesis of sharing is found in the spirit of jealousy and envy and instead of producing life it seems to produce death. We know that like light love can have a positive effect in reality and darkness being merely the absence of light the absence of love which may be called hate seems to produce a negative effect in relationship to reality and the life within it.

The idea of sacrifice is always present in our quest for life and the manner of that sacrifice seems to be a key element in the outcome from the Altars of Clay and stone of Abraham, Moses and the Levites who were God's first born or priest to a nation that was to be priests to the world. This pattern of sacrifice is seen even unto the character[30] and statemnet of Christ concerning love and charity.


"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13[31]


Services of the Ekklesia

The "Ekklesia" of Christ was His little flock to whom He appointed a kingdom according to His word.[32] limiting their status[33], limiting their authority[34] and power[35] requiring them to feed His sheep through pure Religion rather than than the covetous practices of the world not the dainties, free bread, and benefits of rulers..

Bending repentance

In 300 AD the church of Constantine put much of the burden of social welfare back on the people but accepted lavish gifts on church from funds gleaned from war and taxes.


Tao Te Ching

Legend has it that Lao Tzu wrote the Book of the Way of Virtue, Tao Te Ching, and gave it away to buy a way through a narrow pass from his world to the west. When 24 Christian monks came from Persia to China in 635 AD they use the word "Tao" to express the Biblical concept of the "Word," or term "Logos" in the Greek.

Five centuries before Christ the Tao was considered to be the "mother of things". It was omnipoten, unchanging, and eternal. About the same time, the Greek philosopher Heracletus of Ephesus coined the word "Logos" which meant "word" to express not only "order" or "pattern" but to refer to "the underlying principle" or universal source of all things as an expression representing "the primal order" of the universe.

Lao Tzu saw the Tao, like the Logos of John as here from the beginning.[36]


Almshouses

The history of the idea of almshouses reaches back into antiquity and were seen amongs the Essene. But the term as we know it is seen in medieval times when religious orders cared for the poor. The "charitable relief of the poor," was seen as a "religious duty" and those religious orders preformed those duties the institutions "which were given to relieve the poor or needy through charity". See Old English ælmesse "almsgiving" from Proto-Germanic, the "act of relieving the needy".

Originally called hospitals or bede houses, in the sense of hospitality and shelter. The oldest almshouse foundation still in existence is thought to be the Hospital of St Oswald in Worcester founded circa 990.

Almshouses were set up throughout Europe in the Early Middle Ages to provide a place of residence for poor, old and distressed people; King Athelstan of England (reigned 924–939) founded the first recorded almshouse in York in the 10th century.

Lady Godiva saw the gifting of her wealth as a redress of grievances for the kings command to impose a tax to finance the care of the poor. The way of Legal charity is the way of socialism and not The Way of Christ and has been creeping into the minds of men since the days of Constantine but with the rise of central governments of authority the degeneration of the soul of the masses they have become vigorous in their decay and the darkness they bring.


Philanthropy

The word charity originated in late Old English to mean a "Christian love of one's fellows", and up until at least the beginning of the 20th century, this meaning remained synonymous with charity.

Philanthropy is consider to be more long-term and strategic and often involves making numerous gifts to help people over a number of years. While charity is focused on providing immediate relief to people and is often driven by emotions, philanthropy is focused on helping people and solving their problems over the long-term.


Throughout history people opposed public assistance arguimg that legal charity or publicly financed social assistance would deprive the philanthropist of this opportunity.[37]


The modern Church began to turn a blind I to the covetous practices of some during the 1800's in America. The early days of that century it was well understood by men like Horatio Bunce and David Crockett that legal charity by the welfare State was not moral.

Crossing congress

In 1827 David Crockett was warned by a private citizen of the State of Kentucky when he ran for Congress that governments are not to be in the business of charity.

The American revolution was not about defiance against the king but rather against his unwarranted usurpations of rights earned.

Today, it is the people who have usurped their neighbor's rights by calling on the government to take from their fellow citizens or borrow against the future of their children so they can have free stuff today.

It is sloth, avarice, and the greediness of our own covetous practices that has ruined the soul of America.

What did Americans think about government supported welfare or any form of legal charity?

Americans used to take care of all social welfare through fervent charity and the idea providing "legal charity" through taxing their neighbor was repugnant and considered sin.

The idea that the government should take care of those in need through taxation was not only foreign to Americans but it was abhorrent to their thinking.

This was all before Americans began to follow the ways of Cain, Nimrod, Caesar, and FDR and the pernicious ways of socialism.

That was when some Americans were still great.

Almost 200 years of steadily moving away from the righteousness of The Way of Christ and disregarding the warnings of the apostles, historians like Polybius and Plutarch, and the wisdom of the prophets society has degenerated into workers of iniquity.

Charity not government made America great

In early America the people were dependent upon the non-profit sector to provide what has now become provided by government taxation.

"In the United States, there is no limit to the inventiveness of man to discover ways of increasing wealth and to satisfy the public's needs. The most enlightened inhabitants of each district constantly use their knowledge to make new discoveries to increase the general prosperity, which, when made, they pass eagerly to the mass of the people" (Alexis de Tocqueville 1840, 594

The idea that we should tax our neighbor so we may enjoy free education or other public service was not an American idea or practice but actually shunned and even counted as immoral.

Alexis de Tocqueville went on to write, "Americans group together to hold fêtes, found seminaries, build inns, construct churches, distribute books, dispatch missionaries to the antipodes. They establish hospitals, prisons, schools by the same method. Finally, if they wish to highlight a truth or develop an opinion by the encouragement of a great example, they form an association" (Tocqueville 1840, 596).

In fact he clarified that, "No country in the history of the world has so creatively and effectively combined philanthropy and government service. . .When we as individuals, however, volunteer our hard-earned dollars to advance society by freely giving from our own pockets, government taxes us less. The government gives us a tax deduction. As a matter of public policy, the law of the land rewards us for taking a personal role in the advancement of society. We are able to give less to Caesar when we give more to others. This is uniquely American and profoundly important. . .In America, government sees philanthropy as a partner. And you can even use your tax deduction to contradict government. If you believe the direction headed by Caesar is wrong, he will still give you a tax deduction when you freely finance the opposite direction. . . nonprofit board. . . members serve as an extended form of representative democracy. These individuals have been empowered to spend what otherwise would have been Caesar's to spend." ( Michael Marsicano, . Philanthropy Distinguishes America . 10 January 2003 2003).

The social bonds of free society requires that the common welfare be provided through personal sacrifice because, "The love and respect of your neighbors must be gained by a long series of small services, hidden deeds of goodness, a persistent habit of kindness, and an established reputation of selflessness" (Alexis de Tocqueville 1840, 593).

Alexis noted what truly made America great, "I have seen Americans making great and sincere sacrifices for the key common good and a hundred times I have noticed that, when needs be, they almost always gave each other faithful support" (Tocqueville 1840, 594-595).

In America became affluent and wealthy beyond their memory, "And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost."

"American moralists do not claim that one must sacrifice oneself for one's fellows because it is a fine thing to do but they are bold enough to say that such sacrifices are as necessary to the man who makes them as to those gaining from them. . .They do not, therefore, deny that every man can pursue his own self-interest but they turn themselves inside out to prove that it is in each man's interest to be virtuous" (Tocqueville 1840, 610).

When living was hard, and striving and struggle was the price to pay for it life was appreciated and precious.

"Enlightened self-love continually leads them to help one another and inclines them to devote freely a part of their time and wealthy to the welfare of the state" (Alexis de Tocqueville1840, 611).


Public schoolsfunded by the government rather than the individual charity and philanthropy of the people opened America to the degeneration of the masses. FDR and LBJ just swing the door to the abyss wider with each generation.

Welcome to the keys of the kingdom with brother Gregory off his holy church.


Well, welcome to keys to the kingdom. I'm brother Gregory. And again, we're going to be talking about the kingdom of God and I'm trying to get all of these buttons pushed. Well, this morning we talked about the logos, the word, you know, the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. And this use of the word logos. It does mean word, but there's other Greek words. That mean words. That don't mean what logos mean, because really what logos means is right reason. And this right reason of the logos is very important for us to understand as it is, it is the logos, the, the right reason of Christ that makes the gospel what it is.

And a lot of people don't understand what the gospel of the kingdom really is and what that logo is really stands for because they have been taught something that is simply not the case. It's not really true. It's not really what the, the gospel of the kingdom is all about. And so they're actually following these ideas and religions. It's not pure religion. It's not a righteousness cause that's one of the things that we're supposed to be seeking is the kingdom of God and the righteousness of God.

And I was going to continue to talk about the logos, but actually we're going to, I was thinking that we should move over to another page that I was, and I worked on many times, but I shared it on Facebook that somebody was saying, seeing that there's this breakdown in society and we need to go back. And this is one aspect of the logos is what, when Peter in first, Peter chapter four verse eight says, and above all things have fervent charity among yourselves for charity, shell cover a multitude of sins. And of course that same word that we see as charity is also the word we see as a love.

And so it's really easy to say you love somebody, but it costs something to be charitable and people in society have gotten so that they are a lot more selfish than they realize. And one of the things that has made them so selfish is their fixation on religion. I was just talking to with people concerning different religions that are found around the world and some of them, the original gurus or profits or whatever it is, is set up. Those religions ha they had some very good things to say, but as time goes on the people on more the meaning of what they taught and turn them into rituals, mindless rituals often that do not provide anything that could be even remotely considered righteous.

And you could go to all sorts of religion. We mentioned towel this morning because the towel has, is actually a word that is similar to logos, but it's a Chinese word, but it actually means the same thing because logos means right reason, or it's actually supposed to represent how the universe works. It's the law of nature. If you do this, this happens. If you do that, this happens and understanding how it all works gives you right reason. But if you calculate that, oh no, we don't have to be charitable.

We don't have to care for one another. We can actually do something different and it leads to bondage. It actually did generates us as a people. And when we were studying tribalism, when we went through some of that and we have, you know, a page on tribalism at preparing you and you can look up that this idea of tribalism is, is a way in which we relate as a people. And there's good tribalism and there's bad tribalism. There's good characteristics of gathering together and there's bad ways in which to gather together. And some of them cause a degeneration of the people.

And one of the things that was in this idea of tri tribalism is this idea that hard times produced strong men and strong men produce good times and good times produce weight men and weak men produce hard times. And that's a cycle that, and there's several ways of putting them, but that's one way that that happens in society, where, where they become very free, they become very prosperous and then they begin to decay. And so what you need to do is have a way in which you raise your children, the next generation in, they do not enter into that decay process, that you do it in a way that they, they were more likely to do the right thing.

And so you have certain values in your culture. Like you can have the value of sacrifice for others. And that's one of the key sacrifices in sacrificing for others. One of the key ideas in a successful society, and of course love is sacrifice because love is cherry it's is taking what you have, what you have a value and giving a way for the benefit of somebody else. Now you have to do it wisely because if you give away in a way that's unwise, you will weaken the poor. And so that's very important to understand.

But when we look at first Peter chapter four, if we started chapter four, because we're going to do the whole Peter and we should do a study on Peter. And, and maybe by the time somebody listens to this some other time we will have that study up. Now we have, you know, the epistles of Peter and we do have some studies on Peter, but I noticed in chapter four of the first Peter, we don't, we don't really have this standard side panel where we discuss it. We, we, I actually have the section that says fervent charity in it, which is in verse eight as a hot link to the article on forbid charity.

And then of course, there's another link to an article we have on charity, but just to understand perfect charity in the context, we can actually read at least that chapter four, as much then as Christ had suffered for us in the flesh arm, yourself, likewise, with the same mind Christ sacrificed himself, he says, arm yourself, likewise, with the same mind of that sacrifice yours, you don't come together in a congregation for what you can get. You come together in a congregation for what you can sacrifice for the benefit of others.

And of course the benefit of others doesn't mean making them weak, but rather making them strong. So we, we, likewise, we come together with the mind of Christ so that others might be saved not to save ourselves because in caring about others, we find the righteousness of God. If we do it in a righteous way so that we might be saved as well, because Christ came not to save himself, but they say that others might be safe. So that would be the same mind of Christ in us. That's why we're gathering for he, that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.

Wow. Wow. No. How do you see from sin? In other words, sacrifice charity charities. One of the greatest things according to Paul is to cease from sin. And what does, what are the sins? Well, we can go through a lot of those, but I think it'd be too much of a sidetrack. So there's this go on to verse two and see if you can put it together yourself that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God, not my will, but thine be done. That's what Christ said for the time past of our life may suffice us to have rot the will of the Gentiles.

So in the past they were doing the will of the Gentiles, but now they're going to do the will of guy. When we walked in less seriousness and lost access of wine, reveling, banqueting, and a bar model idolatries. Now I, dollar tree is covetousness. That's what it says elsewhere in the Bible. Idolatry is covetousness. Covetousness is idolatry, same thing, the banquets, lasciviousness, and loss. These are actually links that you can go to other articles that we have there. I could actually put links in for Gentiles and everything.

But the key thing is that when they thought like the Gentiles, then, then it's not just about having parties, but it's about eating the Dantes of rulers, which is the abominable idolatries, because the rulers give you what they take away from your neighbors. So we know that the rulers who provide Dantes and our appetite for those Dantes is a covetous practice and is the essence of idolatry. We know there's more so when we understand that the temples of Israel were government buildings, that's where you went to get your welfare.

That's where you went to get your free bread. And of course, today you go someplace to get your free bread and you get it from men who are rulers, who take away from others. I mean like all your student loans that are getting paid off, they're not getting paid off except by taking away from others. Even if they just paid it off with borrowed money, they're taking away from many others because all the money in your bank account is decreasing in value because they're printing more of the, than they actually have anything to back it. So inflation will Rob your neighbor. So that's a cup of dish.

Practice does desire, you know, a stimulus check or benefits from a man who exercise authority. That's all I dollar tree, that's all lasciviousness. That's all, all lust and greed because you desire at the expense of others. That is the antithesis of loving your neighbor, which is sacrificing for your neighbor is that there's nothing wrong with paying taxes. If you owe pay the tax, but there's something wrong with being greedy for gain at the expense of others. That's like, that's the covetous practice. So when we look at first for wherein, they think it's strange that he run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.

That cause they call evil good. And which has covetous practices is good. You know, socialism is good. Socialism is always a covetous practice. They're going to take away from those who work really hard and give it to those who don't really hardly work. That's a cup of distract. Christ was not a socialist. He was all for taking care of the poor, but not do force. And that's one of the things we talked about this morning and the logos is that Caesar was called the son of God. Caesar was called the savior. Jesus was, you know, according to the prophecy of the angel, talking to Mary, that your son will be called the son of God. And then when they mentioned that in the Bible, that he's the son of God, they're literally poking at this king called Caesar.

And although Julius Caesar said, I am not a king named Caesar. And we explained a little bit of that this morning, the Caesar was actually his family name and Julius was actually his client name and his actual name was Gaius. So anyway, but this idea of the emperor being the son of God and Jesus being the son of God in the emperor, being the savior of the people and Jesus being the savior of the people, they said, well, look at the parallels, all the parallels, but what's the difference that, that Jesus wanted you to take care of one another through choice to fervent charity.


You choose you personally today, choose to give to others in a way that strengthens the poor and in a way that provides all the social welfare for your society through charity Caesar wanted to provide all the social welfare for his society. Two men who exercise authority by, by giving away gifts, gratuities in benefits and Julius Caesar did it first by selling a million goals into slavery and killing hundreds of thousands of people destroying whole vast tribes of people.

And then bestow the benefit of that on the people of Rome, he was doing that even before it became a general, but when he became a general and he monetize the value of the war, you know, he often borrowed money to give to the poor, but he was personally responsible for the debt. Now, when you're governments of the world today, like Biden is borrowing the money to pay off student loans. He doesn't owe that money back. You do because he's borrowing it in the name of all those who are members of the United States, you know, beneficiaries of the United States, all the people that have social security numbers, he is borrowing and their name, and they owe that debt back and their children and their children's children will owe that debt back.

He is not paying off your student loans with fervent charity. He's paying off your student loans with legal charity, and we have an article on legal charity. And you can find that by going to forbid charity or going up there and looking in the search engine to find that we know from our study of history. And we shared a lot of that this morning. And we shared a lot of places. We shared about legal history, excuse me, legal charity. We share the history of illegal charity in America, then begin with FDR, but it was a huge leap forward in the realm of legal charity with FDR.

It expanded even more so with LBJ and then with Obama and many others. And now with the Biden to pay off your student loan is legal charity legal, meaning a binding charity by nature, you say, well, how is that a binding charity? And I, I talked about that too. And, and Paul talks about that. So before this talks about, you know, saving us from Paul, but they, they don't understand. Paul Paul is talking to you about things hard to understand that people don't understand Paul.

But part of the reason, a lot of people don't understand Paul is they don't understand the gospel. Paul's just quoting other profits a lot of the time. But if you don't know the other privates, you may miss it. You know, like when it even says in the case of their table is a snare, he says, he's quoting David. And then we can go back to David and see that David is saying, what should have been for their welfare is a snare and a trap. And we go to Proverbs. And like I say, you can look up the word Dantes that, cause they talk about this snare and trap a net. The one purse is a net and you're captured in the net of your own making.

And when you all decide to have one purse, which social socialism is one purse, even though everywhere in the Bible that talks about this. And that's why I went through a lot of the lesser province to begin with to show you that even in them, every one of them, they're talking about these covetous practices in one form or another. So he's saying, you know, like in verse seven, but the end of all, things is at hand, be therefore sober and watch unto prayer. But when he says all things, what does he mean? Because the end of the world didn't take place.

But of course, if you look in the Bible for end of the world, they're actually not talking about the end of the planet. They're talking about the end of an age. And at the end of one, age comes another age. And what happened when Rome collapsed, it was the end of an age, the age of Rome, the end of the age of the PAX Romana. And it was the beginning of a new age, which a lot of people call the dark ages, but they really call it the dark ages because they don't want you to know what was going on because what was going on was that people were afraid for a thousand years, almost, you know, from didn't, if you go from 10 66 back to 66, a D that's a thousand years, 66, a D that the Jews were destroyed by the very Caesar. They said they had no king by Caesar. They weren't honorable with Caesar. They cheated Caesar and Caesar came back and destroyed them. And Caesar's always done that. He did it with Corinth, you know, 50 years before Christ, or more than 50 years before Christ. He did it with Corrine. They destroyed corn, probably that was about 150 years before Christ, because Polybius was saying, you know, that people becoming accustomed to living at the expense of the masses with an appetite for benefits, become accustomed to living at the expense of others. And depending for their livelihood on the property of others, that's what America is doing today.

That's what all the people got. Their student loans supposedly paid off, or depending on the property of others to pay off their debt and, and that, and all the other benefits that they want from men who exercises authority is going to degenerate them into a bunch of Karen's or what, what do they call guys who are carrying? So those kids, I don't know what they, there's probably some name for them, but what happens is that they get to be tossed to and fro with the, what we talked about this morning is at those and pat those mostly past those, because they, they have this adoration in the case of the Democrats, it's pat dos I mean, what, what Democrat does everybody bow down and worship? No, but the emotionalism used on the democratic side, you know, the, I hate Trump club and everything, but now we have this mega movement at the moment they call it where everybody thinks Trump is their salvation. That's FLS. That's where you hold some personality up to be greater than they actually are. And you think that your salvation is in that personality, that individual, and a lot of people saw that with FDR. You know, they just adored FDR thought he was, could do no wrong.

Of course he was doing wrong all the time. It's amazing. The number of people that liked LBJ, that's Lyndon, Baines Johnson. I, you know, I saw one of these tick docks that were showing these people being asked, all these questions, like who, who did America fight in the American revolution, who does in the civil war? And you know, how many states are there? And they're saying things like for, although one, one woman asked, was asked what countries border the United States. And you could take that question a couple of different ways, but she said, Canada, and that's true, Canada borders, the United States.

And then she said the Soviet union and the guy treated that, like, that's a wrong answer. Well, up there, you know, if you go look on a map between Canada and Siberia, which is Russia, I guess it may have said Russia because Soviet union supposedly collapsed. You know? And, and, and that would be true if I hadn't saw blasts from the past. So all you movie buffs, you can go watch blast from the past and you got to watch it to the end to get that the humor of that. But anyway, the, the, the reality is, is that up there in Alaska, you, you, Alaska goes off coast a little ways, and then Siberia goes off coast and we border the Soviet union, the United actually borders the Soviet union.

So her answer was actually correct. I don't know if the guys understood that, but the guy who was looking for the, you know, the contiguous 48 states, not the 50 states. And so I think they wanted the answer of Mexico, but anyway, that was just me being technical. And I'm often very technical. You know, you watch a Western with me and I'll be saying, bye. I have a brother who does this even more so than me where it says, oh no, it's happened doors. Nobody's using those type of Daryl's at that time. And that, that bed, that's not a common bit that they did use a bustle. They wouldn't use a snaffle like that. And, you know, cause he's very technical about the whole thing.

I hope it wasn't just disconnected here, clicking on the phone. But anyway, I will continue to do the show anyway and we'll have it recorded. So in verse eight, we say, and above all things have this fervent charity amongst yourselves for charity covers a multitude of sins. This was a daily administration of the government appointed by Jesus Christ, which was the church appointed by Jesus Christ. Now, how did he do that? Because you know, like I said, this morning, the Pope just was saying that, you know, all the, the religious groups or churches under, directly into the Vatican need to move their funds to the Vatican bank before the end of September, I think he's expecting in October surprise, you need to come together.

And the 10 50 centers and thousands like Jesus Christ and you need to do so with fervent charity, you need to actually start doing what Christ said. If you intend to survive the decline and fall of the modern day Roman empire, which is coming with the great reset. And you know, one of the other things I noticed this week, actually for the last three or four weeks, they're constantly talking about the sun they are talking about everyday. I see these stories about coronal mass ejections on the Sunday, and you go back and we actually have a page on CMS and all this stuff. And Christ said, you look for signs in the sun. Well, I know because I followed this for over 60 years and following the sun. When I, when I was a little kid at eight, nine years old, maybe seven years old, I saw the sun and solar sun spots in a telescope and Bobby Maloney's back yard. We could actually project the sun and the sun spots. And I knew that was a Kodak moment. That's important. Jesus said, look for signs in the sun and the moon and the stars and the word he used for stars, meaning planet the nose is telling us every day about this, but they're making a big deal out of little tiny CMS, coronal, mass ejections, and little tiny sunspots. I mean, some of them are kind of big this, a planet size, almost all the sun spots.

We're planning size during solar max. Now, most people don't know how this works or anything, but if you're actually walking with the holy spirit and like I said this morning, if you want to walk with the holy spirit, you need to do this. You need to sit down in the tens to hundreds of thousands. You need the com likewise, with the same mind of Christ, which is that you care about others. As much as you care about yourself, you lay down your life for your fellow. Man. You do that with bourbon charity. You need to be doing that with fervent charity to take care of the needy of your society.

We're not going to tell you what that looks like, but I, somebody was just asking me about now, I can't remember his name. I couldn't remember when they were asking about these guys would have, you know, thousands of people in their church and they have jets and they have all this money and all this stuff. And I, I don't think I need to remember their names. You know who they are. We've talked about different ones. They're not providing the systems, social welfare welfare for the people. And I don't want to attract you to join with his old church because you want to depend upon us as your social welfare for you.

I'm saying that you need to lay down your life for your fellow, man. You need to care about others as much as you can. You need to come likewise with the mind of Christ. And so in verse nine, we see use hospitality one to another, without grudging share with others without graduate. I could tell you a really funny, so I won't do it. It just actually happened today. But where if somebody acted in a selfish manner, they don't even know it. They don't even know it. Somebody else saw it and it kind of irked him. But you have to forget that and hope that people turn around and not be selfish. They let it go. And, and how you do that is forgiveness because forgiveness also covers a multitude of sins. So in verse 10, as every man had received the gift, even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold, grace of God, you have to have grace for others. And I've seen so many times where congregations don't stick together because they don't have forgiveness and they don't have grace. I have seen many congregations. People are not very giving. They, they are not sacrificing.

They're not giving to others. They are not laying down their life for their fellow, man. That's the, oh, if you told me you needed help, I would have sent something. That's not fair of it. Jerry perfect charities, religious charity, you are planning on you are casting your bread upon the waters. You're not waiting until there's a disaster. And then you'll write a check. You are actually giving from the beginning. Christ was rich. He gave up all that wealth. He had to give up all that wealth in order to follow John the Baptist, John, the Baptist was the Levi. John. The Baptist was a minister in the traditions of Jesus Christ.

John, the Baptist was the Levi Levi's could not own property. He could not be wealth. They had to give up everything they own personally and give it to others. Hoses who became Barnabas did that. He was violating the rules according to the teachings of Moses concerning the Levi's. He realized that sold everything that he had and lay the profits from that sale. All the income from that sale at the foot of the apostles, because he was doing what Christ said in order to be one of my disciples. You have to give up all, you have these braziers out here. They don't do that.

And if you go back in the thousands hours of archives that we have, I talk about, you know, a guy who wrote a book on, you know, 5 0 1 C3 churches. And, and the funny story, when I was talking to him on the phone and, and pointed this out, that you have to give up all your property to be an actual ordain minister of Christ church. And there's a legal reason why you have to do that. But there's the critical reasons because that's what Christ said. And I pointed it out in the course of the conversation. I know I'm skipping over stuff. I'm not giving you the explanation, but you just have to stick around.

I write about it in books like the free church report and explain why that is. But you know, the covenants of the guides was a 700 page book reduced down to 144 pages. The free church report was at least 350 page book reduced down to 144 pages. And it said, well, what are you? Why'd you take out all that stuff because we may need to know that. Well, no, you need to know the holy spirit. You don't need to. I put enough facts in there to help you set down the garbage that you have accepted as true religion. That is not pure religion. That is false religion that has allowed you to be snared by public religion.

Maybe you don't know what I mean by stared by public religion. Go read our article on snare. Just look up the word snare at preparing you. If you want, you can look up the word public religion at preparing you. I have an article there. It explains what public religion is. Social security is public religion. It's how you take care of the needy of your society. Do the welfare systems attached to your social security. You got the number, you get the benefit, but that's all from men who it's already in. Verse 10 says as every man hath received the gift, even so ministers the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold.

Grace of God, you have the grace of guy. Do you forgive your neighbor? Do you forgive those? Do you forgive your debtors? Does he your get forgiven as you forgive your debtors? Well, you say, well, I paid into social security. I want those security. I want, I want the payment and I'm not begrudging. Anybody's social security. I'm I'm telling you to turn around. I, if everybody gave up social security, now, some people would starve to death, turn around and seek the kingdom of God in his righteousness. And that will get you through what is coming.

Maybe you might die. I can't guarantee it's not an entitlement, but what did he talk about? Our mirror self that's how you put on the full armor of God. You start actually doing what God said, what God said to Moses, what God said to Jesus Christ. Most of the people reading the old Testament. Don't know they're looking at Moses as the eyes of the Pharisees. And we know the Pharisees. Got it wrong. If any man speak, let him speak as the Oracle of God. If any man minister, let him do it. As of the ability, which God given that God, and all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever.

Amen. Now at that, amen should be the end of the chapter, but it goes on from there, but we'll go back to fervent charity because it's perfect charity that is going to be telling us how the kingdom of God works. So what is fervent charity? What is this bourbon charity that he talks about? Well, that's not exercising authority, one over the other. That's how the governments of the world do it. Now there's an echo SIA. That's the called out. And like we said, if you go to our page on echo C, you can see the echo SIA. That's a very word talking about a small group of people that operated in government that made choices for the people, but in Christ, at glassy, it is different than the accuracy of Athens or the accuracy of Corinth or the ekklesia of many of the other city states, because the ethicacy of Christ could not exercise authority, one over the other.

And so finding now what these different efficacy is were doing and how they operated. We'll give you some insight into what the adequacy of Christ was doing. Now. You know, when we get to talking about the apostate church, which began at least with Constantine, I mean, Simeon was well on his road while on the row way of the road to pass the sea. But he didn't really get organized. He's the one who ended up crashing and dying. And, and then of course, June is this scary.

It was trying to go over there and keep her the purse. He was trying to get quarter of Jesus into going along with the Pharisees because he, because of ethnos at those, again, putting, he thought highly of the Pharisees. He thought highly of Jesus, but he wanted Jesus to unify himself with the Pharisees and then they could throw off the Romans. But no, it doesn't work that way. You have to think differently. And he couldn't think different, or at least he was having trouble. I don't want to second guess poor Judas Iscariot, but the Pharisees had it wrong. If you think the Pharisees were teaching you what Moses was doing, you're going to, you're going to end up having trouble with people like Paul. Paul was a Pharisee at first seeing Pharisees, Hey, believed all of the stuff that the Pharisees believed. He taught all the stuff that the Pharisees taught about the old Testament about Moses. And then he discovered that it was all dumb. It was all trash because he didn't see how important charity was that. And see that's what the Pharisees the Pharisees had at Corban.

That means sacrifice. That's the Hebrew word for sacrifice. The corporate of the Pharisee, the sacrifice of the Pharisees was making the word of God did not effect because the sacrifice of the Pharisees was not forbid charity. It was legal charity now. So if you don't understand legal charity, you've got to look that up. If you don't understand fervent charity, go to our article, which tells you, who talks about the mentioning of fervent charity and that first Peter four eight, which we just read and right away, the first chapter or first paragraphs of that article, I say the root cause of all violence of all oppression of personal depression and depressions and corruption and despair and society today is our dependence upon the modern world welfare state, which is public religion.

Because again, religion is how you take care of the needy of society. The widows and orphans and needy of society, pure religion is doing it. I'm inspired by the world and the word world they use. There's constitutional order or system of government, the welfare state. You have to take care of all the needy without the welfare state. And then you might be practicing pure religion in order to take care of them. In parallel, even though you would have to be redistributing the wealth of the people to charity in a way this strengthens the poor. See, this is why I don't tell you everything.

I know I share all the books for free online. I share all that articles free online. You can listen, listen to all the audios free online. If you joined the network, you'll get access to this audio quicker, but we'll have it up eventually at preparing you. But I don't tell you everything. I hint around about everything. I tell you everything because I don't know who's listening and just like Christ. He didn't tell him everything. He told the apostles a lot of stuff, and they were still having trouble figuring it out.

But ultimately they had it figured out when they received the holy spirit, but they received the holy spirit because they gave up on fear and they gave up on greed in the seriousness and they followed Christ. Who else would we follow? Well, the fact is most people are following these churches out there that say, it's okay to covet your neighbor's goods. The agency of government, which is idolatry because I, dollar tree is covetousness and covetousness is idolatry. The welfare state is the antithesis of what Moses and Jesus and all of the profits. And certainly John, the Baptist was saying, it's not legal. Charity is fervent. Charity is sacrifice. That makes the word of God to effect. And that, that makes the word of God, that none effect and the sacrifice, the Corbyn of the farracies to Herod had become legal charity. So even the Corinthians historian Polybius, and I, it goes to that, but we've already talked about that, but they became a custom defeated the expense of others and depend for their livelihood on the property of others. And they degenerated and eventually had a Monarch and a king in Corinth was absolutely destroyed down to the last stone or rock.

And all the buildings were destroyed. The people, anybody who resisted in any of the males who resisted were killed, all the women and children were sold off into slavery long before Christ came along. Even before the first emperor, he wasn't talking about Rome with that, but he was warning Rome and he was warning us. There is no will amongst the masses to divest society of the education and the addiction to legal charity and, and which began with public education.

Now originally public education. And, and I should put things in here and I'm reminding myself that I may come back and add this taco bell was pointing out very clearly that public education was not financed in America. By tax dollars. I was public education was financed in America, by cherry, even Harvard, Princeton, you could go to the schools by charity. It was built into their charters, but this idea of legal charity, where you force your neighbor to contribute to your welfare destroys society and people in the 18 hundreds knew this Davy Crockett knew it only because her ratio bonds, it told them.

Now originally public education. And, and I should put things in here and I'm reminding myself that I may come back and add this taco bell was pointing out very clearly that public education was not financed in America.

It was built into their charters, but this idea of legal charity, where you force your neighbor to contribute to your welfare destroys society and people in the 18 hundreds knew this Davy Crockett knew it only because her ratio bonds, it told them.

And I'm the savior. And I got free bread. And I've got all these benefits and I will take care of the poor and the needy of society. But Jesus says the same thing, but Jesus, you had to do it by charity because if you do it by a man who exercises authority, it's this snare. And we know repeated over and over again. From the beginning to the end, the old Testament, the new Testament, Proverbs, a Deuteronomy. It will degenerate your society, make you vulnerable to be ruined. Blue. Dark told us that he who ruined the Roman people was he who's spread amongst them.

These Danties, these benefits that he provided now, Caesar Hayden provided by taxing Romans. He did it by taxing the neighbors to Romans. In other words, he invaded golf golf. As part of Dez, three S Gaul is divided into three parts. He actually used some of the goals to help him destroy the other goals. You also use the two times they help them destroy the other goals. He actually went after that LV or the hell DNS, he went after them first go to them and do a battle, bombarded their train of women and children with firebrands hurling through the air to go with them into battle.

So he could destroy them, capture them, kill most of the men and sell those galls off into slavery and slave markets that had been growing south of them because that was going to fund them the money he needed to pay the two Johns to defeat more golfs. And with that money, he bestowed all kinds of gifts. Gratuities of benefits upon the Roman people, some said, oh no, we can't do this. It destroy our society. But others said what? These stimulus checks that were getting will really help us out.

Who cares where the money comes from? Yeah. We're going to indebt our children for generations to come, but we're getting a stimulus check. I can get that big screen TV. I want it. You see they're appealing to your lasciviousness, your greed, your cupboards, his practices, but he was funding the daily administration of Rome. And it was destroying Rome, just like after yard, just like LBJ, just like Obama. Now, many of the people listening to this, they're not going to get it. They're not going to see it.

They're not going to think, oh, that's ridiculous. My preacher didn't me. These things, my pasture. Doesn't say these things all as we were supposed to do with the government says, God, the governments were created by God. Doesn't say that. Rob Paul never says that. Gory where you think it says that, but read it at preparing you does that preparing you. We had the side panel that shows you what these words mean in the context of the day, who are the fathers of the earth? Do you know that? Do your preachers know that?

What are the weightier matters? Do your preachers know? What are the weightier matters? What was the Christian conflict? Why were the Christians persecuted? If Pizo invented Christianity, nor did his subdues, the Christians, why were the Christians being killed? They should have been modeled citizens. No, they weren't modeled citizens. There was something wrong. They had a different son of God. They didn't have Caesar as their son of God. They had a different savior. They didn't have Cesar as their savior. Well, so what are the Romans care? What the Romans didn't like was the Christians were proving that you could take care of the needy of your society.

More efficiently, certainly more righteously. Do faith, open charity. Then you could do all the bureaucracies of Rome. And so many people say, oh, we're we want capitalism. We, we to, you know, go out and work on our money and we keep our money and we take care of ourselves and all this stuff. And capitalism, capitalism without verbiage, charity is not going to have the social bonds of a free society. Capitalism is natural. Like I said, every squirrel, every bird that's made a Nast. Every squirrel that gathers a nod. Every dung beetle, that rolls is dung.

That's capitalism. That's natural. It's always been, you know, you may get is yours. You plant it, you grow it. You take care of it is yours. You cultivate. It is yours. That's capitalism. That's you gather it from the forest is yours.
