Corban
The Truth About Corban
Corban is one of the misunderstood words of the Bible by Modern Christians. It was at the core of Jesus's conflict with the Pharisees and eventually the Christian conflict with Rome.
Rome had its own system of Qorban[5] which had changed from its early days as a republic to something that brought in corruption and despotism. The free bread of Rome would bring its downfall because it weakened the moral fabric of society.
What was Corban really about and are there different types of corban?
And more important do we have a form of Corban today, and is it in conformity with Christ, or with the Pharisees?
Jesus said if the Pharisees knew Moses they would have known him.[6] Do Modern Christians know Jesus or are they under a strong delusion?[7] Jesus warned that many people would think they believed and served Christ but they actually were workers of iniquity.[8]
Jesus said he would take the kingdom[9] from the Pharisees because they were not bearing fruit, which He did by their own mouth,[10] and appointed to another who would, Which He did[11] as He said he would do[12].
"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." (Galatians 5:1)
Peter warned in 2 Peter 2:14,
"Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; curse children:" and in 2 Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
Paul warned in 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,".
We were warned that men would creep and deceive many leading them away with foolish doctrines.[13]
The term offering or "freewill offering" as found in the Torah in relation to the worship of Ancient Israel is mainly represented by the Hebrew noun korban (קָרְבָּן) which we see as Corban κορβαν in the New Testament.
"But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift,[14] by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free]." (Mark 7:11)
Matthew does not use the term Corban but he does use the corresponding Greek term for "a gift" which is doron.[14] Doron "refers to a present yet not always gratuitous or wholly unsuggestive of recompence;" or "money cast into the treasury for the purposes of the temple and for the support of the poor" as we see in Luke 21[15]
"But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift <1435>, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect[3] by your tradition." Matthew 15:5
The same word is also translated "treasury" in Matthew 27:6,
"And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."
This is a very misunderstood word because the Pharisees and other groups of Judea had twisted the purpose of this ancient form of worship. Worship was never meant to be a pattern of mindless rituals, mumbo-jumbo repetition of words, chants, or incantations.[16]
The Hebrew word qorban ןברק appears some 82 times in the Old Testament and is translated offering 68, oblation 12, offered 1, sacrifice 1. It is defined by some to mean "offering, oblation" and is from the Hebrew word qarab ברק which as a verb. It is defined "to come near, approach, enter into, draw near or cause to draw near".
This same word is translated as offer 95 times, but as (come, draw, … ) near 58, bring 58, (come, draw, … ) nigh 18, come 12, approach 10, at hand 4, presented 2, and another 13 other ways, appearing some 280 times. This same Hebrew letter combination appears another 250 times and is translate many different ways like "midst, among, inner part, middle, battle, and war.
Why so many different ways?
Well this is how the Pharisees and others deceived the people to go astray from the purposes of God.
Sacrifice or your offerings had a purpose whether an animal or other things offered. In Hebrew the noun korban is used for a variety of sacrificial offerings described in the Hebrew Bible.
"A korban was often an animal sacrifice, such as a sheep or a bull that underwent Jewish ritual slaughter, and was often cooked and eaten by the offerer, with parts given to the priests and parts burned or consumed on the Temple mizbe'ah. Sacrifices could also consist of doves, grain or meal, wine, or incense."[1]
But why a sacrifice and what was burning, consuming or eating really about?
What were the Altars really all about and what were the stones of these Altars?
Every successful society has instituted some method of taking care of the elderly, indigent and needy within their society. These systems looked after the welfare of the people and there were two types of welfare.
This public service by the government appointed by Christ was called the daily ministration[17] in the New Testament. This caring for each other without any help from the men of the world who called themselves Benefactors but exercised authority[18] one over the other was called Pure Religion.
Those official Benefactors[18] of the world who were also the fathers of the earth Jesus spoke of whom were applied [19] to for their benefits. The offerings were not freely given because they were not freely obtained. Taking those benefits created an obligation.
“The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.” —Plutarch
The word ministration in the Greek is from diakonia διακονία and is translated ministry 16 times, ministration 6, ministering 3, along with 9 other ways. It is defined as "service, ministering, esp. of those who execute the commands of others" and is said to be "the office of the deacon in the church" or even "the service of those who prepare and present food".
It is from the Greek noun diakonos διάκονος which is translated minister 20 times, servant 8, deacon only 3 times. It is defined "one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister".
So in the first century and for centuries to follow the Church was to feed His sheep according to the command of the King Jesus by actually providing bread and other foods for the needy. The Church was composed of benefactors who provided actual service for the needy through freewill offerings. These offerings of charity were the Corban of Christ given out of love for one another.
Modern Christians get their benefits from men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority[18] one over the other instead of by charity and the perfect law of liberty. What they are doing in their churches today looks nothing like what the early church did nor what Christ said to do yet they imagine they are believers. They say but do not do as Christ said. Since they are not doers of the word they are not practicing Pure Religion.
Their actual Corban is through the favor or grace of the state which weakens the people and entangles them in the elements of the world.
Those men called benefactors can exercise authority[18] over all those who seek their benefits. And because those benefits are provided at the expense of their neighbor, by the force and power of the state, to desire those benefits is called covetousness.
Historians and prophets alike have warned of such benefits:
"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; [20] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[21] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." —Polybius [22]
John the Baptist and his baptism, Jesus teaching on love and keeping the commandment, Peter's warning about covetousness making us merchandise and Paul's constant proclaiming of the importance of charity and the dangers of coveting throughout the whole Bible are testimony of the Gospel of the kingdom.
But there is still a cognitive disconnect in the minds of the Modern Christians where they will not see that they are practicing daily the Corban of the Pharisees that made the word of God of none effect[3] and disobeying Christ's instructions while saying they have faith in Him.
The word worship in the Old Testament is shachah החשׁ which is translated worship 99 times, but bow 31 times, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3. It is defined "to bow down" "before superior in homage".

Is our Corban making the word of God of none effect today?

Historical Corban
Rabbi Elazar said:
"Doing righteous deeds of charity is greater than offering all of the sacrifices, as it is written: Doing charity and justice is more desirable to the Lord than sacrifice (Proverbs 21:3)".[23]
Jesus rebuked some of the Pharisees for their position on Corban in Mark Chapter 7, also Matthew Chapter 15. By neglecting their filial duty to the parents because they contributed to the treasury of Corban thinking that relieves people of their natural responsibility to support their parents.
Qurban
Qurban Bayrami is the (Feast of Sacrifice) in regions of Turkish influence and the Reraya Qurben in Indonesia. The meat must be divided into three parts. Before anyone may partake one third is given to the poor. Another third must be given to friends or relatives. The remaining sacrifices of the animal is for the beast for consumption, the other is sent to friends and family, and the Muslims. The slaughtered animal can be a sheep, a goat, a cow or a camel in their tradition. The party is followed by a community prayer in a mosque or outdoors.
The phrase al-Qurbaan al-Muqaddas (القربان المقدس; The Holy Korban) is the usual term used to translate the term "Eucharist" into Arabic among Arab Christians.
"Many books of the prophets in the Hebrew Bible, such as the Book of Isaiah and Book of Jeremiah, spoke out against those Israelites who brought forth sacrifices but did not act in accord with the precepts of the Law. The Prophets disparaged sacrifices that were offered without a regeneration of the heart, i.e., a determined turning from sin and returning to God by striving after righteousness (Hosea 14:1-2, Joel 2:13, Micah 6:6-8). At the same time, prophets stressed the importance of offerings combined with justice and good even as they taught that offerings were unacceptable unless combined with heartfelt repentance and good deeds. Malachi, the last prophet in the Hebrew Bible, emphasized that the goal of repentance is not to end sacrifices, but to make the offerings fit for acceptance once again (Malachi 3:3-4). Similarly, the Book of Isaiah despite disparagement of sacrifices without justice, portrays sacrifice as having a role complementary with prayer in a universalistic eschatology (Isaiah 56:1; 6-7)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korban#In_the_Prophets
Sacrifice of Corban
The system from which the majority of the modern Christians seek benefits are rooted in the welfare State. The means and the method of the systems are based on forcing their neighbor to pay for what they want.
That practice by its nature is covetousness and opposed to the ways of God and Christ from the beginning.
The system of the Corban of the Pharisees was a government system of Social Security condemned by Jesus the Christ, who was the rightful King of the Jews according to Pontius Pilate and thousands and thousands of Jews at Pentecost.
If anyone's parents collected Social Security from a bankrupt system, pressing that system farther into debt, the action is the sin of Corban Jesus spoke against, like did John, because it was by force rather than charity.
That is the point. We actually encourage everyone to not merely home teach their children, but help one another do it, and do the same in meats as John said.[28]
There is nothing brand new about our teachings except we put it in the context of what people are actually doing in real societies both old and new.
For example:
We never see the word Corban appear in the Old Testament as "Corban" either but we do see it and its root as "offering" hundreds of times. We never see the word charity in the Old Testament either.
Corban was the word for "sacrifice" and "offering" and the word sacrifice is spoken of in the New testament over 40 times, offering and gift over 60 times, charity and love over a hundred times. Why?
Because they are all talking about the same thing. They are all talking about freewill offerings given so that when we love one another it takes a substantive form in the real world.
Around 150 AD Justin Martyr wrote his Apology to Antonius Pius the emperor to explain how Christians took care of their free bread since they did not apply to the Emperor for his free bread or wine or cheese or anything else they distributed in the Roman welfare system...
“And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.”[29]
Does anyone remember what the sin of Sodom was?
"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." (Ezekiel 16:49)
Babylon and its Benefactors always offer gifts, gratuities and benefits which will reduce the liberty of the people if the people covet those benefits.
Welfare systems of the world and Babylon often "serve the needy without condition" which weakens the poor.
We know Jesus said you would have the poor always but also that their corban was making the "word of God of none effect"[3]. What we often do not know is that Corban was a welfare system based on Public religion rather than Private welfare or what James called Pure Religion. John the Baptist preached it and told the people to seek it.
Now modern Christians apply to the State to get benefits from men who exercise authority and force the contributions of the people because they have accepted the lie that it is okay to covet and take from their neighbor as long as the government does it.
Instead of repenting and striving together in one accord to to aid and "succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want,"[30] by freewill offerings and sacrifice they apply the world, these organized systems of men and the governments that they create for themselves and take from their neighbor by force so that they can personally benefit. Or they are simply slothful in the ways of the early Church. They instead drone on obsessing about irrelevant matters like Arianism and red heifers and fail to tend to the "weightier matters" Christ spoke of.
Corban of Christ
Was there a Corban of Christ?
What was this Corban of the Pharisees really all about?
What is the difference?
Corban as a Hebrew word meant a sacrifice and was specifically a "freewill offering" made by the people to a levite minister to care for the needy of society through charity and love. That daily ministration of pure Religion produced the fruit of virtue and the subsequent social bonds required for a free society under God. That Corban of Moses was in conformity with the Corban of Christ that would draw us "near" to God and God to us through His Holy Spirit.
An essential complaint about the Pharisees by Jesus was their Corban because it made the word of God to none effect.
Herod and the Pharisees established a system of legal charity that became a compelled offering for their registered members.
Jesus did not just reform the kingdom of God but as priest and king He took it from those who sat in the seat of Moses and appointed to the Apostles.[32]
At that time under the Caesars there was also a similar system through the Imperial Cult of Rome that would be at the core of the Christian conflict with Rome.
Corban of Rome
The Roman welfare system of Qorban like the Corban of the Pharisees and Herod had changed from its early days of the Roman and Israelite republics.
As Republics there were No kings in Rome nor early Israel. Their Temple systems had no buildings made of stone but were dependent upon voluntary networks of charity through which they maintained the social bonds of free societies and nations.
These governments had evolved over time into Socialist States which forced contributions of the people through taxation like in the days of the bondage of Egypt.
The masses of their Citizenry had become slothful in the ways of liberty and accustomed to living at the expense of others. That dependence upon men who called themselves benefactors of the people but who exercised authority one over the other by taking from one group to provide for another. Those covetous practices of desiring the dainties and benefits of rulers degenerated the character of the people and the very fabric of society, the family. Over time the people were willing to even borrow against the future of children to obtain the reward of unrighteousness",
This dependence was and is contrary to the instructions of Christ, and the prophets and brought with it corruption and despotism of the world.
Roman Repentance
Many Romans wanted to return to the way of the republic when their rulers were titular and they were free.
Some had sought that return to republican values by the sword through stabbing Julius Caesar which lead to civil war with Augustus Caesar becoming the Savior of the Pax Romana and hailed as the Son of God.
"Augustus was sensible that mankind is governed by names; nor was he deceived in his expectation, that the senate and people would submit to slavery, provided they were respectfully assured that they still enjoyed their ancient freedom."[33]
There were many Romans, like the Centurion of faith[34] who had eyes to see another way of a different Savior who was also called "Son of God.
Undoubtedly, many of the Romans who became the early Christians in the Empire remembered the words of Polybius and the ways of the Libera res publica of the early Roman Republic.
"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; [35] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[36] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." [37]
Two Corbans
Augustus Caesar had greatly expanded the Imperial Cult of Rome which was a state run welfare system based on registration and compelled contributions. Herod would introduce a similar system of corban in the form of a legal sacrifice in Judea.
Because religion was how you took care of the needy of society these civil institutions were a form of Public religion. FDR would institute similar systems of Social Security in the United States which would be greatly expanded under other American Apotheosis like LBJ and those who succumbed to the covetous practices of his Great Society.
Jesus said if the Pharisees really knew Moses they would have known Him.[38] Do Modern Christians know Jesus or are they under a strong delusion.[39] Jesus warned that many people would think they believed and served Christ but they actually were workers of iniquity.[40]
False teachings on Corban
The word Corban and it many forms found in many language generally means sacrifice. While the people of Israel while in the bondage of Egypt their sacrifice was one fifth of their labor which was compelled by the civil authorities, and funded the government because the government had provided a social safety net for not only the Israelites but all the citizens of Egypt.[41]
For Moses these sacrifices were to be freewill offerings[42] since his purpose was to produce a free people.
If a student of the Bible does not understand that the altars of clay and stone were symbols of systems that provided social safety nets for societies that created social bonds of care and love opposed to those systems that plowed mankind with elements of the world through the force used by the wtcked dut rejected by John the Baptist, legally justified by oaths, application, and fealty.
Because of historical ignorance many misidentify the nature of the Corban of the Pharisees which used force to provide the dainties, free bread, and social welfare àt the tables of rulers. Those systems are a snare and a trap because of the covetousness which is idolatry and the swearing an oath.
and therefore remain ignorant of the true nature of the Gospel and Corban of Christ.
Dr. Vance Havner
Dr. Vance Havner (1901, North Carolina to August 12, 1986) was a revivalist who authored nearly forty books during his ministry.
"Jesus ... reproved them for their "corban" custom by which they dedicated gifts to God and therefore escaped giving them to the needy. It was well to vow gifts to God, but it had degenerated into a clever excuse for not helping the ones in need—a pretext for evading responsibility."
What he did not seem to understand along with other "blind leaders of the blind" that Corban of the Pharisees was instituted by the civil government of Herod and a corrupted Sanhedrin. It was a social safety net which required membership through vows and baptism. It was a major step toward the ancient cities of blood but conformed to the free bread of the Roman Imperial Cult which Polybius had warned against.
The Jews should have known better having received the teachings of the prophets concerning the snares and traps of such systems.[43]
The modern Christian and certainly the modern Church had even more warnings but strong delusions make a nation sitting in darkness blind.
Believer's Study Bible
The Believer's Study Bible by Wallie Amos Criswell Jr. ( 1909, in Oklahoma to 2002 in Texas (age 92 years)) presents a similar short combing.
"The term "Corban" means "an offering dedicated to God." While the law clearly commanded honor for parents (v10), the Pharisees effectively nullified this commandment in the practice of Corban by allowing a callous child to declare his possessions "devoted to God" so that the parents would have no claim to assistance. Should the son regret his gift of Corban, the Pharisees would insist that the vow be kept in accordance with Nu30:2. Jesus rejects this practice of using the letter of one commandment to invalidate the intent of another."
Again, this study Bible source failed to understand the purpose of those freewill offering given on the living altars of the Levites who served the tents of the congregations providing social welfare to a nation and the distinction of those non covetous practices when compared to Cain, Nimrod, Egypt and Sumer.
This put him at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding the statements about fathers[44], tables[45], practices[46] , and teachings of Christ, the Early Church, and the Apostles including Paul's statement concerning covetousness being idolatry.[47]
The Deadly Lure of Legalism
In the manuscript The Deadly Lure of Legalism by Daniel Akin[48] he mention Corban coming to the conclusion that:
"There are basically only 2 approaches to religion, each of which can be summed up in a single word: do or done. The world says the problem is out there and the answer is what I can do. The Bible says the problem is in here and the answer is what Christ has done!"[49]
There are two approaches to religion but what is religion?
Just a little over 200 years ago Religion was defined as the “Real piety in practice[50], consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men”[51]
Our duty to God includes devotion and devotion includes obedience and homage. Obedience to God would include loving our neighbor and and caring for our parents.
So, Daniel Akin is right "There are basically only 2 approaches to" love and care for our neighbor and our parents. We can do it through freewill offerings which is charity or we can do it legally through the exercising authority of the state.
What Daniel does not seem to see is that to care for the needy of society by the legally compelled contributions of the "world", which is legal charity through the welfare State, is not only the worst form of legalism it is the antitheses of Pure Religion.
Daniel Akin wrote that the "Pharisees created a theological loophole" by simply declaring "what they would have given to their parents" has been vowed "in service to God." Daniel exclaims, "What kind of logic is that?!"[49]
The actual theological loophole by the modern Church us no different than what the Pharisees actually did. They conspired openly with Herod to establish a social safety net for the people through the civil government.
Herod and Constantine both baptized people but motive and purpose were decidedly different than Jesus' purpose.
Herod the Great through his temples established a worldwide membership in a system of social security. It included a record of registration with a clay or stone titulus for verification through the accounts of the scribes. It actually included his own Rabbinical Baptism which had long been a custom in Jewish history.
Registration made you eligible for membership and access to benefits through the treasury of the temple. Those benefits is what the parents of the blind man feared loosing in John 9.[52]
Rome had instituted its own Titulus Venetus[53] and registration through their public temples.
Herod hoped to obtain at least six hundred thousand members to form a New Israel, his own kingdom of Heaven on earth.
See also Baptism, specifically Sec.The missionaries.
Ryrie Study Bible
Ryrie Study Bible by Charles Caldwell Ryrie[54] states:
"If a son declared that the amount needed to support his parents was Corban, the scribes said that he was exempt from his duty to care for his parents as prescribed in the law. Evidently, too, he was not really obliged to devote that sum to the Temple."
Again the Corban was a government system of social security set up by Herod with the assistance of the Pharisees and other political parties where people registered to be a member of what was presented as a New Deal.
Corban of Moses had always been a freewill sacrifice given to the Levite of your choice voluntarily. The Levite was tithed to according to his service.
Understanding Corban
Do we understand what Jesus was telling them or have we become workers of iniquity too?
The Hebrew word qorban ןברק in the Old Testament and is translated offering 68, oblation 12, offered 1, sacrifice 1. It is defined by some to mean "offering, oblation". Corban of Christ is your charitable offering to provide the Daily ministration of the needy within the Congregations of the people who seek to follow Christ. The Hebrew word qarab ברק which as a verb is defined "to come near, approach, enter into, draw near or cause to draw near".
This same word is translated as offer 95 times, but as (come, draw, … ) near 58, bring 58, (come, draw, … ) nigh 18, come 12, approach 10, at hand 4, presented 2, and another 13 other ways, appearing some 280 times. This same letter combination appears another 250 times and is translate many different ways like "midst, among, inner part, middle.
These many different ways is how the Pharisees and others deceived the people to go astray from the purposes of God.
Sacrifice or your Freewill offerings in charity had a purpose. It was an expression of your Faith in The Way of Christ and the Father.
Every successful society has instituted some method of taking care of the elderly, indigent, and needy within their society.
From the Romans to the Tuetons and Celts, from early Israel to the early Christians there was a way to provide for the needy of those communities.
This care or free bread or social welfare was also called the daily ministration [55] in the New Testament but also Pure Religion and was part of the works of the Temples of all nations.
The word ministration in the Greek is from diakonia διακονία and is translated ministry 16 times, ministration 6, ministering 3, along with 9 other ways. It is defined as "service, ministering, esp. of those who execute the commands of others" and is said to be "the office of the deacon in the church" or even "the service of those who prepare and present food".
It is from the Greek noun diakonos διάκονος which is translated minister 20 times, servant 8, deacon only 3 times. It is defined as "one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister".
So, in the first century and for centuries to follow the Church was to feed His sheep by actually providing bread and other foods for the needy which was the Corbanus of Christ.[56]
The Church was composed of benefactors who provided actual service through a Network of ministers for the needy through Freewill offerings. These offerings of Charity was the Corban of Christ given out of love for one another.
Modern Christians get their benefits from men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other instead of by charity and the perfect law of liberty. What they are doing in their state churches today looks nothing like what the early Church established by Christ did nor is it doing what Christ said to do. Yet, they imagine they are believers and pay ministers great sums of money to support that delusion with False religion. They say but do not do as Christ said.
Their actual Corban is through the favor or grace of the state which weakens the people and entangles them again in the elements of the world.
Those men called benefactors can exercise authority over all those who seek their benefits and because those benefits are provided at the expense of their neighbor by the force and power of the state. To desire those benefits at the expense of other people is coveting and to depend upon the state is the antitheses of Pure Religion.
John the Baptist and his baptism, Jesus teaching on love and commandments, Peters warning about Covetous Practices making us merchandise and Paul's constant proclaiming of the importance of Charity are testimony of the the Gospel and the need to create a Network through the Corban of Christ.
What the future holds
What the future holds is foretold in the past.
History does repeat itself and the destiny of the Roman Empire is written in our own future for we have abandoned the ways of Christ for the ways of Rome.
The Pharisees had also abandoned the way of Moses and Abraham and followed the way of Nimrod and Babylon.
The Pharissees were a political party sitting in the seat of Moses at that time because they offered lots of social benefits to the people though a welfare system called Corban. The Corban of he Pharisees was a covetous practice of legal charity that was dependent upon the government which forced the contributions of the people through the exercising authority of the government of the Pharisees which was contrary to Moses' system of Altars that were dependent upon "freewill offerings".
This Corban made the word of God to none effect, degenerated the people, seared their conscience and caused to continue to blindly elect to follow the same political leaders. They justified their public religion with a false interpretation of the scriptures.
Does this sound familiar yet?
The followers of Christ started to depend on a social welfare system of minister receiving donations though charity alone instead of the public social welfare of the civil governments of Judea, Rome, Corinth, and all the governments a part of that new world order and were often persecuted for their faith in love and charity rather than force and fealty.
They would not "touch nor taste the dainties of those welfare systems of those states because they believed and their eyes were opened to the hypocrisy of welfare systems of the world.
In the 2008 article Corban: The Pharisees and the state by Jim Fedako he mentions a 1990 post at the Future of Freedom Foundation "CHARITY: BIBLICAL AND POLITICAL", by Russell J. Clinchy. That article appeared in Essays on Liberty, published in 1952 by The Foundation for Economic Education.
In his essay, Clinchy asked the question, "What does the future hold for a nation wherein parents have come to believe that the purpose of government is to relieve them of the responsibility for their children, and wherein the children in turn demand that government relieve them of the responsibility for their parents?"
Polybius answered that question over 2000 years ago. "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."
Corban means "sacrifice" in Hebrew and the tradition of giving "freewill offerings" to the Levites who had been the "Church in the wilderness" to serve the "tents of the congregation” of the people was a good tradition.
Religion was how you took care of the needs of society when the family was unable to do it. Under Herod, the Pharisees made the function of the temple a social welfare scheme of entitlements. This was not a new idea. Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, and Caesar had already gone that way because the greed of the people for the wages of unrighteousness caused them to follow after the "error of Balaam".
"Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core." Jude: 1. 11.
Russell J. Clinchy was born in 1883 and he lived through the thirties and the changes wrought by men like FDR. But who in the modern Church remembers how it used to be when there was Pure Religion practiced in the land or what the Christian conflict was with Rome?
The Church established by Jesus Christ freely provided a Daily ministration through a voluntary Network charity as He commanded. The Corban of the Pharisees was the result of a government-run welfare system of free bread set up by Herod the Great which was a "snare" according to Paul and forbidden by the prophets.
That system of forced offerings through taxation was making the word of God to none effect. The repentant souls who got the Baptism of Christ at Pentecost were "put out" of that socialist welfare system of benefits from men like Herod and Caesar who said they were Benefactors of the World but were also the Fathers of the earth.
Beware of gifts
- "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?" Isaiah 40:21
There are gifts of God and man.
- Plutarch said “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.”
But Proverbs 19:6 tells us the same thing, "Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that giveth gifts."
- Polybius said "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."
This rule of violence and plunder is the same we hear about in Matthew 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." and in Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." The Repentance associated with the act of Baptism was turning away from these Covetous systems of the Welfare of the World and going back to The Way of Fervent Charity with the Eucharist of Christ.
"He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live." Proverbs 15:27
The wages of unrighteousness offered by men brings the rights and liberty of man[58] given by God to nothing[59] and their right to judge to confusion.[60]
The gifts of God which set men free[61] come to those who will walk the Way of God.[62]
The Paul the Apostle wrote to a number of Early Christian communities in Galatia, "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Galatians 5:13-15
When Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 8:9 "But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak." the word "liberty" is the same word exousia Paul uses in Romans 13.
The same word we see as power in Romans 13 is translated right in Hebrews 13:10[63] and Revelation 22:14.[64] and also in Revelation 18[65] concerning the fall of Babylon and the merchants of the earth who are the merchants of men who together with the kings of the earth have committed fornication. Rulers of the world of men not only have sought to take man's endowed dominion from him but have conspired to make all men take the Mark of the Beast which is a badge of servitude that makes them merchandise.
Have we lost that liberty granted by God by neglecting our natural and moral responsibility that is correlative to those God given rights?
Eyes full of adultery
Peter made it clear in 2 Peter 2:3, "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
Peter not only warned us that desiring benefits at the expense of others would make us human resources what he calls merchandise but he warned us in 2 Peter 2:14 about those covetous practices entangling them back in the yoke of bondage and cursing our children:
- "Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:" 2 Peter 2:14
He tells us that the debt of those Divers lust for the benefits of the world at the expense of others would curse our children.
David warned us in Psalms 69:22, "Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap."
And Paul reminded us again in Romans 11:9 that "... David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"
This stumblingblock was that we would learn to eat at tables set with the bounty of the compelled sacrifices of institutions made by men who called themselves Benefactors that ruled over the people with and exercising authority and is explained in Revelation 2:14 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication."
Proverbs 23 warns us about the table of men who exercise authority one over the other "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat."
If the ruler is your Benefactor he will only give you what he takes from others. To desire the Benefits is to Covet and that will change.
What are these benefits today?
Those benefits include everything from Public Schools to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards which is an electronic system that allows state welfare departments to issue benefits via a magnetically encoded payment card, used in the United States and the United Kingdom like Rome did with their Tesserae of the Beast of Revelation?
Warned
We were told by God in Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s."
Jesus warned us of the evil of covetousness and where it comes from in Mark 7:20-23, "...That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
These are the things he called us to repent of in Matthew 4:17 when he first "... began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." and in Mark 1:15 when He said "... The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." but warned us in Luke 13:3 that "... except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
He warned the ministers that systems of Corban like the one they created for their social welfare made the word of God to none effect.
Jesus told us not to look to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.
He told us not to pray to Fathers of the earth, but only our Father who is in Heaven.
He told us to keep the commandments including the one about not coveting anything that is our neighbors if we want Eternal life. And when 1 John 2 talked about the "propitiation for our sins", he reminded us that "... hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."
Real Christians would not desire the benefits of men who call themselves Benefactors nor pray to the Fathers of the earth like Modern Christians do. They would be led to gather together in a living Network that provided a Daily ministration of Charity for one another according to the Perfect law of liberty. They would strive to keep His commandments by being Doers of His word in a Living Network of Love.
Israel in the Bondage of Egypt were literally employed by the Pharaoh who provided free bread like the Romans in the form of Public Welfare which was Public religion. They had to pay their tale of bricks to the Pharaoh but learn to glean in the field at night to obtain their benefits. This is why God hardened the heart of the Pharaoh during the plagues so they could learn The Way of God. So it was not enough to stop taking the benefits, but they needed to learn to provide them by faith, hope and charity through a system of Corban that made the word of God to effect.
Jesus said nothing different to the early Church. When he said give to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God's he was saying pay your tale of bricks. He even warned to be friends with the unrighteous Mammon explaining that it would fail. Those who cheat one master you will likely cheat the next.[66]
We are in bondage because of Covetous Practices and Slothfulness. We are devoured because we or our natural parents took bites out of one another in these Covetous Practices which made us a Surety for debt in an unrighteous Mammon... We must Repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.

Corban and the word of God
Taking the Lord's Name in Vain
http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/history/9corban.php
"In Cyprian the church chest is not called area, as in Tertullian, but carbona. It is also designated in the Apostolical Constitution...The corban had then already forfeited the character of church chest. The latter had become the fund of the poor, and as such remained in the Church, to give every one who entered the house of God the opportunity of also thinking of the poor."[67]

"During five days the petitioners remained before the palace of the Procurator, sending up ceaseless supplications. On the sixth day Pilate attempted to terrify them, and threatened that they should be cut down by his legions if they did not immediately disperse. However, when he found that the Judæans were determined to sacrifice their lives, if necessary, rather than their religious convictions, and perhaps afraid of the disapproval of Tiberius, he at last gave way, and issued a command that the cause of their anger should be removed. But he provoked the indignation of the inhabitants of Jerusalem140 against himself a short time after. He purposed making an aqueduct from a spring at a distance of four geographical miles from the town of Jerusalem. In order to meet the necessary expenses, he possessed himself of the treasures in the Temple (the korban). He was in Jerusalem at the time, and was surrounded by an angry populace, who assailed him with execrations. He did not venture to call out his legions, but ordered a number of soldiers to disguise themselves in the Judæan dress, and to mingle with the crowd and attack them. The multitudes rapidly dispersed, but not before great numbers of them had been killed and wounded." History of the Jews, Vol. II (of 6), Author: Heinrich Graetz, Copyright, 1893.

- 1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
- "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?"
