-To "give up" is to sacrifice.
-Can we give up the [[idolatry]] of modern [[religion]] to receive the truth of the gospel of the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]]?
-Can we give up our will to do God's will?
-Can we give up pride for humility, comfort and convenience for righteousness?
-Many people give up [[Rights|rights]] for [[Benefits|benefits]].
-In some ancient cultures domestic animals were part of the life blood of society.
-The phrase '' life blood of society'' is a metaphor that expressing the idea that owning  domestic animals was an essential element to survival in society.
-Were the [[Altars]] of ancient societies and the ritual killing of animals just and [[allegory]] and [[metaphor]] of customs that actually had a practical social purpose? Were the altars of  [[Clay and Stone]] symbols of systems that provided a social service that bound society together.
-This was understood by the [[Essenes]] who read the [[Torah]]. They understood the [[Sophistry |Sophistry of Sacrifice]].
-Even the sacrifice of the [[Red Heifer]] was merely a [[metaphor]] for foreign aid.
-The only true sovereign is God but God has given us choice from the beginning. We may eat from, or be guided by, one of two [[Trees]]. One is the Tree of Life and the other of our own Knowledge of Good and Evil. [[Gods]] are ''ruling judges''. We will wait upon the LORD or serve other gods by making [[CCC|Contracts, Covenants and Constitutions]] with them to obtain their [[Grace]] and [[Benefits]].
-If we join "a federation [which] may result in the sacrifice of sovereignty", our personal right to choose or liberty we will be required to sacrifice or serve the [[Gods]] many of the [[World]]. That service and allegiance comes in many forms; taxes, military and even service in civilian work projects.
-So have we sacrificed our liberty for comfort?
-Have we looked to be [[Saved by]] [[Benefactors]] of the [[World]] and the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' who with [[One purse]] take from each of our neighbors bringing us closer to damnation as [[Merchandise]] through our [[Covetous Practices]]?
-Have we returned to [[Bondage]] of Egypt in a [[Corvee]] system through a [[Corban]] that makes the word of God to none effect, like the ''pig returning to [[the mire]]''?
-What are we really [[Saved by]]?
-Christ died that we might be [[saved]] but not without our [[repent]]ance.
-Do we have real [[Faith]] in Christ without [[Probity]] of [[The Way]] of Christ who came to serve and save others?
-Are we gathering to save others or just ourselves?
-Do we [[love]] others as much as ourselves, value other peoples life as much as we value our own?
-Is not our [[Faith]] dead without works of Jesus Christ in our life?
-If we do not daily [[sacrifice]] for others in service of [[righteousness]] then we do not have true [[faith]]  in Christ or [[The Way]] and we are not saved by His [[grace]].
