Voice

Turning from 'their wicked ways' mentioned in 2 Chronicles 7:14 includes no dependence on public health, education, or welfare through the taxation of their neighbor by men who exercise authority^[1] through covetous practices which have been forbidden by God^[2], Moses and Jesus Christ.^[1]

The bondage of Egypt is the effect of a cause, "if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes... all these curses shall come" foretold in Deuteronomy 28:15 to 68 and you will return to the "Egypt ..."ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you."
Covetous practices, which comes when there is an absence of love and fervent charity shall cause the effect of you becoming merchandise and will curse children.

Votary

Votary Votary is a noun with two primary meanings: it refers to a person bound by solemn religious vows, such as a monk or nun, or more broadly, a devoted adherent or enthusiast of a specific cause, person, or pursuit . The word originates from the Latin votum, meaning "vow," and its plural form is votaries.

If a votary is a person who has devoted their life and service to religious service does that include "public religion"?

Voice of the people

Many people often go down to the polls and vote to get a new leader to make things better for them. That is the "voice of the people" but is that what God wants us to do?

The voice of the people is heard and a new leader will take the office of chief executive officer of their Government or the old leaders will remain in their office with the renewed vote of the people.

These leaders will have the power to sign laws into place over the people, appoint new federal ruling judges throughout the nation, nominate new Supreme Court Justices, and send armies into battle consisting of your sons and daughters. These leaders will be able to take and take and take...

Based on the title "Christian" the people who claim that description should be those who are the followers of Christ, those who are doers of His word and not hearts only. It is not enough to simply say you "believe" or say Lord, Lord.

Lots of people say they believe but are not doers of what He said. Based on that there are not as many real Christians as there are people saying they are Christians. Jesus warned of this:

Matthew 7: "22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

What is that iniquity?

How do we know we are not among those workers of iniquity?

How do we know we have not listened to a false "prophet even unto the priest"?^[4]

David, Paul, Proverbs and Peter^[6] warned of a snare and a trap that would entangle us again in a yoke of bondage where we would be become merchandise and curse children.

Modern Christians are numbered servants much like in the days of the bondage of Egypt or the Corban of Herod and the Pharisees, and even like Rome under the emperors in great need of repentance.

Before they can Repent they need to confess:

FIRST, admit the truth of that bondage and
SECOND, they admit why they have become merchandise, human resources in Babylon(Egypt, Rome, etc).

If the modern Church preached the Gospel of the kingdom according to Christ the Modern Christians would know they are doing the opposite of what Jesus said when they go to the government and ask men who exercise authority to take from their neighbor to provide benefits.

Vote for a king!

The voice of the people by the exercise of their will or vote appointed men who can now make law and all who are a part of that nation of voters will be under the rulers they have elected.

Comments
Early Israel as one of the earliest Republics had virtually no taxation for 400 years funding a voluntary government through freewill offerings and they were a prosperous civilization.
Then the "voice of the people" decided to elect a ruler to fight heir battles and make things right.
God had Samuel warn the people than rulers will take and take and take and take and when you cry out God will not hear you.
That king was corrupted by the power the people gave him and began to foolishly force the sacrifices of the people which was the beginning of taxation in early Israel and the nation went into captivity.
The sinful man always tries to blame evil on God like Adam who tried to blame his sin on God and the woman God gave him.
God did not create evil.
God did not create the governments of the world.
God created choice by giving the power of choice to man. We call that choice liberty.
There are rulers in and of the world and they are often there to punish the wicked. What do I mean by that? Who are the wicked? The wicked are all the people who want to rule over their neighbor through governments that exercise authority one over the other to obtain benefits and social security at the expense of others through force.
This is why Paul said in Romans 13:4 "For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil."
When the "voice of the people" wanted a ruler in 1 Samuel 8 it was called a "rejection of God" and they were warned that "rulers" would take and take and take and when you "cry out" God would not hear you. Desiring to rule over your neighbor through governments like Cain and Nimrod is what makes people "workers of iniquity".
Evil is what occurs when you turn your back on God, truth, righteousness. Evil is a vacuum or the absence of good, the tree of life or the Holy Spirit. When you reject or shut God out you create a void, a vacuum which will produce an effect which you call evil.
Socialism is the Religion you get when you have no Pure Religion.
God allows choice. Without choice there is no love.

Most of the people will be dissatisfied with the winners. Less than half of the people who could vote will vote for the winner and many of those who do choose the winning candidate do so simply because they like the opponent even less. Some people will be elated and continue to believe that their candidate can do no wrong and they have elected God's choice until the voice of the people speaks again.

In the Bible we also see the phrase "the voice of the people" in the first book of Samuel, a prophet of Israel, a nation with no king or central ruler for hundreds of years. It is some four hundred years after their departure from the bondage of Egypt when the people changed and chose to elect a leader who can exercise authority one over the other.

Was this a good thing?

Not according to God.

God called it a rejection of Him. ^[7]

This election of a central leader of authority and power was considered as if the people were turning their backs on God. They had men to lead them before, but they were not like the other nations by design. Their leader could not exercise authority over them as their leaders and government servants were actually public servants of servants, for in those days there was no central ruler in Israel.^[8]

This was the way God wanted it and based on what Jesus said we have to assume that God still wants it that way today. ^[9]

But the people spoke. They wanted a leader who could supply them security and benefits, who would fight their battles for them.

So they voted to have a man as their leader and they gave that leader the power to rule over their neighbor and themselves.

The new elected leader of Israel would lead them into battle like the other nations but he would be able to compel the people to contribute to his government with a compelled sacrifice. These sacrifices are called taxation today and every country has gone that way.

When Saul compelled an offering Samuel called him foolish for doing so and to force a sacrifice of the people was considered a violation of the commandments. ^[10]

Of course, Samuel said if he did so it would be a foolish thing and his government would perish.

Samuel did not say taxing people was a sin because he knew that those who were slothful in the ways of God as described by Moses should be under tribute. ^[11]

That slothfulness would lead to a selfish apathy with fatal consequences.^[12]

So what are the ways of God?

"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD." (Leviticus 19:18)^[13]

This love included fulfilling the royal law mentioned above and in James 2:8 by not coveting our neighbor's goods or anything that is thy neighbors, especially for our benefit and by caring for one another in charity. Of course it is an evil people that excuse taking from their neighbor for their personal benefit which is so common today in the world. It is not only a rejection of God and His righteousness to give men that kind of power but it is cruel to them for they will surely be corrupted by it.

Rulers will begin to take and take and will build up their power and military and even take the sons and daughters of the people to serve their will. ^[14]

To give a leader the power to take from your neighbor is a violation of the laws of God in Old and New Testaments against coveting your neighbor's goods and the people will be judged by the law of liberty. ^[15]

Samuel gives a long clear warning from God as to what would happen if the "we" of the people were to choose a central ruler, someone who could exercise authority one over the other, someone who was a chief executive officer of their nation. It was a terrible curse Samuel spoke, but God was not choosing this curse. It was the desire of a people who had already rejected God that brought them into condemnation.^[16] Prior to this Israel had appointed titular leaders from the bottom up maintaining their right to decide fact and law in their own courts according to the laws and customs written in their own hearts. Those leaders were the mere representatives of the people, not lawmakers or rulers over the people, but the people turned their back on God in vanity and pride. These new elected leaders would now appoint men from the top down. There would soon be a multitude of officers appointed from the top down to eat out their substance, take their sons to wage war for him and their daughters to work in his service. ^[17]

The first fruits of their labor would eventually be his as the people continued to turn away from God and toward their new leaders who called themselves benefactors but who would exercise authority over them. They would eventually return to the bondage of Egypt where more than 20 percent of their labor was taken from them each year by the government, ^[18] all their gold and silver was in the treasury of the government and their rights to their land were nothing more than tenants who paid an annual tribute.

Moses knew that the people might be this foolish and that giving such power to one man would be a great temptation and He warned them what elements they should put in their written constitution if they were to be so foolish as to elect a leader who had power. ^[19]

He should not have treaty making powers or accumulate the gold and silver of the people in his treasury or establish a standing army... Israel was a republic in the sense of Webster's definition where the leaders were titular but this new leader would have an exercising authority like the other nations who rule over the people. Israel was turning the world upside down with their vote.

What is a vote?

According to Webster's 1913 Dictionary the word vote can be defined as, "An ardent wish or desire; a vow; a prayer. "

A vote can be considered a vow or a prayer. It is an expression of your desire and wish and it is a form of application for that wish to become law. It is also participation in an attempt to exercise authority over all other voters, both registered and those merely qualified to vote.

"Often the terms 'citizen' and voter are confused. A voter is a person who is allowed by law to take part in the government." ^[20]

That vote as a "vow" can be defined as, "Specifically, a promise of fidelity..." for whatever candidate wins. Is voting an act of faith? Fidelity is defined as, "Faithfulness; adherence to right; careful and exact observance of duty, or discharge of obligations."

Or is further defined as, "A solemn promise made to God... an act by which one consecrates or devotes himself, absolutely or conditionally, wholly or in part, for a longer or shorter time, to some act, service, or condition; a devotion of one's possessions; as, a baptismal vow; a vow of poverty." ^[21]

In order to understand what a promise to God or god is we need to understand what is meant by the word god since the Bible tells us that "There are gods many".

If Jesus told us not to be like the governments of the other nations who call their leaders benefactors but also exercise authority one over the other then how can we say Jesus is our Lord or sing about Him being our King, or imagine that we believe in Him? [see Luke 22:25...]

To vote is an attempt to exercise authority over your neighbor through the agency of the elected rulers.

I must ask What is your vote, your vow, your prayer?

Who are you going to pray to have rule over you this year?

Men or God?

Men like Gideon who said, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you”^[22]

Or Jesus Christ who would not rule over the people but came to set them free? Do we have an alternative? Is there another way to go?

Is that the kingdom of God Jesus told us to preach which functions under the perfect law of liberty?

Actually, there is an alternative to democracy. It is called the Kingdom of God which is at hand and that Jesus told us to preach.

The kingdom of God begins within you when you love the justice, mercy and righteousness that is God and you are as concerned about your neighbor's rights as you are about your own. It is a very real system whereby Abraham freed many souls from Haran, Moses freed a nation from Egypt, and Jesus turned the world up side down redeeming a peculiar people.

He told His appointed ministers to go out and preach to all nations that the kingdom of God was at hand, within your reach. We are to seek it and His righteousness. That is what we hope to share with you at His Holy Church.

What is that kingdom, how did it operate and how does it set men free?

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20)

People who want to be free must set their neighbor free from their own lust and avarice.

They must learn to live by faith and hope through charity in a voluntary society based on love for one another.

Most people will not choose that way of living by faith under the perfect law of liberty spoken of in the gospel of the kingdom.

They will instead continue to covet their neighbors' goods. ^[23]

They will desire to the promises of benefits at their neighbor's expense from men who exercise authority one over the other.^[24]

They will listen to their feigned words which will make them merchandise and human resources.^[25]

They will eat of their dainties with great appetite at their table.^[26]

They will pray for should have been for their welfare though it will become a snare.^[27]

They will vote for the men who promise them security. ^[28]

"And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted," (Deuteronomy 32:37)

"And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day." (1 Samuel 8:18)

[19] Deuteronomy 17:15 "Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy brother. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:"
