Template:Bite
Are you biting one another?
Are you part of the "Zombie Apocalypse"?
Somebody asked on the Network "I’ve never seen anything in the Bible that I can see relates to Zombies. Has anyone else?"
These movies and legends and stories about Zombies, werewolves, vampires are all the result of psychological or what might be called subliminal fears[1] if not spiritual realizations of forces and practices going on in mystical or heavenly realms of our unconscious minds and between people through relationships all the time.
There are lots of references to metaphors which wreak of the macabre.
- Micah 3:2, 3 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
- Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
- Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
- Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
- Galatians 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
- The "living word" of God lives in the hearts and minds of those who love and serve the Father in heaven. The children of God do not make covenants with the gods of the world, pray to the fathers of the earth for their benefits nor take a bite out of one another by coveting the entitlements of benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.
"Bite and devour one another!"
What is he talking about?
Are people eating people?
Do people take bites out of one another?
Do you take bites out of your neighbor like some kind of blood-sucking zombie?
Jesus talks about people who are walking around as if they were dead.
- Luke 9:60 "Jesus said unto him, 'Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.'"
There is some spiritual truth in all these metaphors.
Proverbs 1 talks about not consenting to those who secretly lay in wait for the blood of the innocent. They go on to say that people even "swallow them up alive as the grave". Sounds like zombies to me. They do not do it like the movies but like the socialist who "all have one purse".
But if the dead are walking around and biting one another what about those who may be blessing one another?
- Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
Everything that happens in the world is a product of spiritual choices. They are a product of choices we have already made in heavenly realms.
- The world is in debt for which the people are a surety.
- The world is producing foods and products which poison for profit.
- Industries of men are injuring and killing the people.
- Governments take, take and take and betray the people.
But governments are a product of the people, of the spirits of the people. It has no power but what the people give it for it is a creation of the people.
So it is the power of the people to take a bite out of one another to obtain benefits at the expense of others. This spiritual choice to covet your neighbor's goods sets in motion the power and right to take from you. So, while you chose to have One purse to provide social benefits and personal gain it is often you who are devoured and your own blood is forfeited.
- As you do to others so shall it be done to you.
The benefits provided by modern governments is nothing more than what government has taken from other men and women.
Some say they will take no benefits and want to be separate.
They take care of their family but when they separate or think they separate from the world they separate from others seeking the kingdom.
They abandon most of the people in the process of seeking the kingdom and like the Foolish virgins they should expect to be abandoned in their hour of need.
It is all because we are already choosing the spirit of covetousness, or the spirit of sloth and neglect or the spirit that is taking a bite out of our neighbor to satisfy our own Wantonness that the world is headed for disastrous consequences..
We want to think we love but if we want something we are willing to take it from others to get it. We do not personally take it but we have our governments do it for us. All governments are broke. They borrow to provide benefits. They borrow from the future of our children to get free bread and benefits for those who will take life from others rather than give up their life for others.
To be a Christian is a burden but it is light compared to not being a Christian.
We know the real Christians by their works according to James but even in Revelation 3:1 we see "And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead."
You know the zombies, the walking dead by their works...
So what are your works?
Are you a closet zombie?
Judge Janice Rogers Brown labeled the New Deal of FDR a “socialist revolution,” and she likened Social Security to a kind of intergenerational cannibalism — “today’s senior citizens blithely cannibalize their grandchildren because they have a right to get as much ‘free’ stuff as the political system will permit them to extract.”
Everything you paid into Social Security is gone. The Social Security system is actually totally bankrupt and operating on borrowed money. So every dime taken from the Social Security Administration must be paid back with interest by future generations.
When people who gave half of everything they produced to the needy wanted to be a disciple of Christ he said...
- Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
The Gospel of the Kingdom 101 is
- Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
But if you want Eternal life Christ told you what to do which is 102... Jesus is clear about Eternal life and does mention that all the time as we see in Matthew 19:16:
- "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?... but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Jesus goes onto say in Matthew 19:18-19:
- "He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
And again we see these doctrines of Jesus concerning what he answers about inheriting eternal life in Mark 10:17:
- "...what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?... Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother."
But if you want to take Paul out of the context of the early Church and out of the context of the Doctrines of Jesus then you might think Paul is talking about you when he says "we" and "us". He is not talking about the Modern Christians who are making the word of God to none effect with their Corban.
Corban back then was identical to the modern social security system we have today and Christians should have never signed up for that and did not have to but now they cannot even survive in many cases without the number.
There was Christian conflict with Rome and the early Church. There often is no conflict with the modern Church because they took Paul out of the context of Christ and what he said. If you believe in Christ you will believe He said "Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother." If you do not know the doctrines of Christ then you will jump at a chance to imagine that you do not have to Keep the Commandments.
The strong delusion taught as Christianity today has brought the whole world back into bondage. The dog has returned to the vomit and the pig to the mire.
Most people that think they are Modern Christians are actually workers of iniquity and have become Merchandise and cursed their children with their Covetous Practices.
We have no doctrines but what Christ actually said but you will find once you know a little about the history and context of the gospel and the Christian conflict most Churches leave out Christ's very specific instructions. Paul was talking to people doing what Christ said to do not what the Modern Christians is doing or not doing.
Something has changed in America. We once took care of the needy in our communities without forcing our neighbors to contribute to what we want.
We were a nation with a Christian character but someone has come into our world and carried many off with a new idea, the idea that it is okay to take from others. The whole world seems to come with their hands out to take the sweat and happiness and the life itself from their neighbor. We are in the midst of a Socialist Apocalypse.
- Mark 12:27 "He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err."
Your government is not responsive because your own heart has not repented of your Covetous Practices. Over 70% of the people opposed the new health care plan yet three minutes after Congress got a copy they voted for it.
The problem is in part that a great deal of what is called the right is actually left of center. They are not doing the job of loving one another. But in the beginning the job was yours as the government of the people, for the people and by the people.
- Luke 24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
Knife to thy throat
We should never develop an appetite to eat at the table of rulers who exercise authority one over the other[5] because that practice is clearly covetous and therefore idolatry.[4]
Since, those rulers only takes from our neighbors' goods which is one of those deeds of the Nicolaitan and the error[6] of Balaam that God hates and Jesus told us to not be that way.
If we find ourself entangled again in the snare of the wicked we can put a knife to our own throat as we repent and seek the way of righteousness.
From the earliest times the power and possession of tyrants have enticed the people with gifts and gratuities. Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh and Herod. Historians like Polybius, philosophers like Plutarch, all the prophets and Apostles have been issuing their warnings the people of coveting their benefits of rulers.

Proverbs 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: |
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. |
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.[7] |
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. |
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. |
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: |
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.[8] |
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. |
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words but the fool will not hear. |
10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:[9] |
Both David and Paul warned[10] us that those tables, which were welfare systems of legal charity like the Corban of the Pharisees are a snare because, as Peter said such covetous practices makes the people merchandise and will curse children.
Having a desire for the dainties, benefits, and welfare of these rulers who call themselves benefactors is having an appetite for what the Bible calls the wages of unrighteousness.
The modern Church tells the people in their own wisdom[11] that is okay to desire that welfare provided by the unrighteous mammon but Jesus said it is not to be that way with us.
Verse 6 of Proverbs 23 tells us not to eat the bread nor even desire those benefits that are sweat in the mouth but sour in the belly of those who covet their neighbor's goods through deceit. That sourness will cause us to vomit it up.
We should not listen to the modern Church and its false religion nor eat the feast[12] provided by those covetous practices. People today have need of the "baptism of repentance" if they desire the "remission of sin".
It was the freewill offerings and the charity of Israel, the early Church and America in the beginning which made the people strong, not the legal charity of socialism.
So what is the answer?
Where can we find a solution?
Where is the cure?
The answer is Christ and seeking to do what He said to do which is to love one another and attend 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.
- One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.
- If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.[13]

From The Essene Gospel of Peace
- And Jesus answered: "Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men. In everything that is life is the law written. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit. They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears, and in every little part of your body. They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams, in the depths and in the heights. They all speak to you that you may understand the tongue and the will of the living God. But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"
From the Gospel of the Essenes
- "It was said to them of old time, 'Honor thy Heavenly Father and thy Earthly Mother, and do their commandments, that thy days may be long upon the earth.' And next afterward was given this commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill,' for life is given to all by God, and that which God has given, let not man take away.
- For, I tell you truly, from one Mother proceeds all that lives upon the earth. Therefore, he who kills, kills his brother. And from him will the Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluck from him her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb.
- For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath their breath to stink; in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones to chalk; in his bowels their bowels t o decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales; in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death.
- For only in the service of your Heavenly Father are your debts of seven years forgiven in seven clays. But Satan forgives you nothing and you must pay him for all. 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot; burning for burning, wound for wound; life for life, death for death.' For the wages of sin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan.
From the Gospel of the Nazarenes in chapter 38, verses 1-6
- 1 And some of his disciples came and told him of a certain Egyptian, a son of Belial, who taught that it was lawful to torment animals, if their sufferings brought any profit to men.
- 2 And Yeshua said to them, "They, whose hands are stained with blood, or whose mouths are defiled with flesh, or they who partake of benefits which are gotten by wronging one of God's creatures, cannot be righteous; nor can they touch holy things, or teach the mysteries of the kingdom."
- 3 "God gives the grains and the fruits of the earth for food; and for righteous man truly there is no other lawful sustenance for the body."
- 4 "The robber who breaks into the house made by man is guilty, but they who break into the house made by God, even of the least of these are the greater sinners. Wherefore I say to all who desire to be my disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths, for God is just and bountiful, who ordains that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone."
- 5 But if any animal suffer greatly; and if its life be a misery to it, or if it be dangerous to you, release it from its life quickly, and with as little pain as you can. Send it forth in love and mercy. Don't torment it. God the "Father-Mother" will show mercy to you, as you have shown mercy to those given into your hands."
- 6 "And what so ever you do to the least of these, my children, you do it to me. For I am in them and they are in me. Yea, I am in all "creatures" and all creatures are in me. In all their joys I rejoice, in all their afflictions I am afflicted. Wherefore I say to you, be kind one to another, and to all the creatures of god."
