Theology Index

---

If science is a search for the truth, theology is the position that all truth is one and there is only one truth. Science finds the right theology and theology defines the source of the one truth.

Theology is a second area of concern. The Bible is a constitution outlining the making of a hard-right theocracy. The church is the fundamental institution of the hard right. Constitutional Theocracy’s are organizations found on the hard right. Constitutional Theocracy’s build a church as a society that is divorced from the secular state. Constitutional Theocracy’s do not require the secular state. Societies on the hard right develop what the world calls a free market. Free markets cannot be democracies or utilize democracy. Free markets are of necessity totally dependent on the mechanisms found in economics.

Government interference in matters of faith must be opposed by anyone who believes in free markets and the hard right. If anyone pretends, he or she is neutral as regards theology they are lying. The church must be free of political interference or it is not the church. This is why the hard right church is operated according to the mechanisms of the free market. 

Good works build the church, by definition. Good works are established by the free market not by politicians. Neutralizing the secular state is the key to building the church. Only when the church is independent of the state will full employment be possible. If people are unemployed or if we permit unemployment, we and they are not building the church. Allowing people to remain unemployed is to reject everything Jesus taught us about charity. The only way unemployment can be created or maintained is by creating and supporting power disparities. In a free society governed by free markets unemployment is not possible because in a free society we are brothers and sisters in Christ and power disparities are not possible.

If works build the church this activity ought to be quantifiable. The value of a work is linked to the work of building the church and this is expressed in the value of the planet that the work represents. 

Christianity and works done in faith provides the basis of a meritocracy that incidentally builds the church.

We are known by the works we do – not the emotions we feel or the claims we make. Works validate what we say we value or have faith in. 

Works must be based on empirical measures and quantifiable standards to verify their value as works. 

The value of the church serves as an objective measure of our faith. The church is the people of God, but we measure the size of the church by the value we have created for the people of God.

This measure is not related to the Prosperity Gospel, which suggests what we pray for we will get, or we will be rewarded materially for obedience to a minister’s requests. The more we help one another the more we will prosper, as a church. Prosperity is predicted to be a result of works done in faith. But it is a collective prosperity not a personal enrichment.

The church is people building their community. The church is Christians as a community. Christians are a light to the world to the extent they build the church. As a light to the world they become a scientific proof of God. Non-believers see God in the power of the place built on faith. The church manifests God on earth as we work to save the place we are at.

The church is built spiritually but also materially, there is the spiritual life and the material life. The spiritual wealth is manifested in physical wealth. Building a community is an economic activity. Works produce economic activity. The physical church is the empirical correlate of our faith.

Ultimately the church is a community of believers working to demonstrate through their life and works, that God Exists and works through them.

Building the church produces a flat organization for God is opposed to power disparities and administrative hierarchies. 

The Reformation did not proceed far enough. Christianity divided from Catholicism but retained the ungodly politics of Babylon. 

Working together in unity and faith does not compromise doctrinal integrity. The church must build up their place – that is the community in which they are located. This is the work that is done in faith. The health of the planet provides an objective measure of the validity of our Scriptural interpretations.

If what we do harms our place what we believe is in error.

The Messianic Reformation is a reformation of love against hate. For love to work there must be accountability. It is in accountability that faith become works and the church as a civil organization is able to divide from the fascist state and eliminate all forms of hate.

There are two flavors of accountability, the positive and negative. Negative accountability means we cannot create costs for others and by extension, no one is permitted to create costs for us. For this we need accountability in the economic sense. There needs a system of accounts.

We must also enforce positive accountability. We must ensure all those who create value are paid for the value they create. Ultimately this is a human right and consistent with what we find in the bible.

The Reformation then takes a process began in the 1500 but which left the church in the grasp of the fascist state. The Messianic Reformation frees the church through the agency of the civil market.

What does it take to build the church? What does the church look like on the hard right? How do we measure the size of the church? How do we define the church?

Many Christians have taken to defining the church the people of God, but this is not accurate, in the sense that it is a subjective appellation. This does not do justice to the Glory of God. Not only does it allow anyone to claim membership, it leaves membership open to being inflated by a liberal agenda. Depending on the reason, liberals will say everyone in the past was a theist, so all acts done in the past were done by theists. They will argue all evil acts done in the past was done by Christians because in the past everyone was a Christian. This is not a logical position to take.

Such indecisive categorization is not biblical. The bible makes it clear there is a sharp line between good and evil and between those who are of God and those whose master is Satan. This means there is a logical way to define the two groups. 

The church is the bibles term for the body of believers, but it has to have a more objective set of parameters than this simple definition provides. The church defined as the body of all believers is circularly constructed, the one term being the definition of the other.

It is not that the church is not all believers but that we need a better way to identify believers if we are going to understand what the church is. Defining the people who make up the church as the church is not particularly illuminating.

At the same time this appellation does give us an insight into the nature of the church. If we are the body of Christ and the body of Christ are all those who come together to worship God, then we can determine the church is the unity of believers. The church exists to the degree there is unity within the church. The division between believer and nonbeliever is greater than what is suggested by saying one believes, and one does not. The more important distinction is believers are in unity and those who do not believe are divided.

This is interesting as there are many different denominations and sects. These groups cannot be said to be united. The church we know is not composed of persons who all believe the same thing. The division into sects and churches is mirrored by the disunity of believers themselves.

This may appear to belie the claim that the church exits in the unity of the church. The unity is in the logic of faith. What the disunity tells us is that believers are not following God in the way they ought. If there is division in the church, then there is a falling away from the faith. Faith and unity cannot be separated one from the other. Faith is predicated on logic.

Statements about the church being is the body of Christ, are statement about the unity of all believers. Believers in Christ are not people of creeds and doctrines. These are believers of law, these are legalists. Legalists arise when logic fails. Logic only fails when ones logic contains irregularities.

If what we do as a Christian is not uniting the church, then it is not biblical or Christian for it is not logical.  The church is not a thing it is an activity, a process. The coming together builds the church because it creates a unity of logic. Logic must be logical it cannot produce incongruities. It is the logic of faith that builds the church and that defines the church. We are not the church unless what we do builds the church and what we do only builds the church if it can be logically defended.

If we are not living in truth we build Babylon. Babylon is a city built on confusion for it flies in the face of logic. 

The idea about the church being wherever two or three are gathered in the name of Jesus is about a few people creating a logical coherency in the way they live. Logic is the ground zero of faith. 

Think of conversion as crossing an invisible line. The church of Laodicea learned the name Jesus and converted in principle, but they have not committed to logical coherency. If one is not logical one is not in line with the Word and Truth of God. If one is not committed to logic one is uncommitted to the truth of God.

Jesus told the young man who had prepared himself to follow Jesus, all he had to do was sell all he had and follow him. He could not leave his past life. For most of us we are in the same dilemma. We cannot unthinkingly sell everything because for most of us this is illogical. But if our priority is things then is it possible to follow Jesus? What does this unburdening of ourselves even mean? The yoke of Jesus is meant to be light, not impossibly burdensome.

The church is built not by individual accomplishment but by corporate success. This is why Christians must divest ourselves of our assets, especially what the world calls private or commercial goods, those things used to operate a business. Personal possessions are not an issue. They are logically defensible but the possession of commercial assets in the way that capitalists possess them cannot be defended logically and so must be defended in law.

The church is built by building up the equity available to the people of God. Faith is made greater by bringing the people of faith together in unity before God. God Himself models the unity of the church in his own person.

 The Bible is the written and infallible, Word of God and sufficient for all our needs.

.

The bible is practical, it has solutions to our social problems. 

The Bible is timeless, it has answers to the past, the present and the future.

The bible is comprehensible, comprehendible and cohesive. The bible answers all question pertinent to the human condition and the operation of the church. The bible eliminates social division.

The Bible is The Answers Book, it has to answers to our questions, we only need to know how to ask the question.

The Bible is the Word of God. He provided solutions to all of our social problems in His Word and in the way, He created the world. God loves His church and teaches us as political and economic creatures how to live right and govern ourselves. God guides us as conservative leaders and citizens into His ways. God is rational, and He has made us rational. He understands politics and economics. God knows how to create jobs and eliminate debt.

The church is composed of the people of God. We live in the Word of God as the people of God. Our faith is how we live out the Word of God within the church of God governed by Word of God: our living constitution. 

The Word of God is God's Constitutional Document governing the church. God’s Word created the world's First Constitution. Jesus is the embodiment of the Word of God. 

The New Testament is the world's First Constitution. The Old Testament Covenant created a religion not constitution or a church. Jesus is the head of the church as enshrined in Scripture. 

The Bible teaches us how to live according to the Will of God. The Will of God is God's Covenant to us. Scripture provides the church with our Constitutional framework. We are citizens of The church Of God or we are traitors and the enemies of God’s kingdom. There is no middle ground.

Gods Word does not create social costs. Scripture rejects the need for social agendas and the state sanctioned ownership models that legitimize social costs. The bible rejects all forms of socialism as inherently Satanic and ungodly.

All social costs including unemployment, debt, taxation, inflation, business cycles, pollution and waste are incompatible with Scripture. The existence of social costs and socialist influences denote a society that is not scriptural. Living in accordance to Scripture is the only way to eliminate social costs and unify the churches.

Error Of Inclusivity:

Atheists say god is evil, they say theists are prone to all sorts of evil acts. Fish eat other fish this only proves they are predators. It does not make the fish who eat diatoms a different kind of fish. Nor does it mean red fish that eat other fish are somehow more evil than other species of fish who are also predators. What we mean by this is that claiming theists murder people does not demonstrate murders and theists are equivalents. It is an irrelevant statement because no one has claimed theists are incapable of murder. Additionally, theism is an undefinable category. If you define all theist as humans and humans kill people, one will have demonstrated that theists kill people.

Error Of False Purpose:

The claim that theists are evil falls afoul of the error of false purpose. No one has claimed that religion removes all sin from believers. It is not a failure of religion or a falsifier of its claims to demonstrate it does not do which it was never intended to do. In fact Christianity exist precisely because religion does not and cannot perfect human beings. Christianity is a response to the reality that no matter who we are or what we believe we are going to fall far, far short of the Glory of God.

Error Of False Equivalence:

God and evil may be related in some way but that does not make them equivalent. Religion and evil may also have some kind of relationship but that does not demonstrate they are one and the same. It needs to be demonstrated all evil is done by God or all theists are evil and all evil is religion based and there is no good within theism and no evil outside of this, which no liberal will attempt to do.

Liberals are victims of their own relativity. They see good and evil as being on the same continuum and so theists need not be evil in an absolutist sense of the word, they only need to be, in the eyes of liberals, worse than atheists. But the problem here is that atheists are the standard. Of course theists will not measure up to a standard provided by the atheists own self.

Error Of False Importance:

Your opinion does not demonstrate merit. Atheists all tend to have a god complex. They believe their opinions are important, they think they are the judge of good and evil and they believe they are the standard by which good and evil are measured. These are the attributes and claims of God. They are not transferable to men.

Error Of False Standards:

When atheists get around to judging Christians they use themselves as the standard. Atheists area not the standard for goodness. This is a fundamental error they make. They cannot be judge, contestant and standard and jury all rolled into one. This is not what the rest of the world would consider an objective or justifiable conclusion. It is simply an exercise in Confirmation Bias.

All Scripture is valuable.  2 Tim 3:16-17 tells us: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Yet, one verse stands out as being of central importance.

This crucial teaching is Matthew 7:12-14. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The importance of Mat. 7:12-14 rests on its teaching of two gates. Scripture affirms there are two paths open to us. Scripture instructs us to go by way of the strait gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the path that leads to destruction.

The importance of this teaching is that it tells us in no uncertain terms we have regardless of what we may think only two options. Despite all of the opportunities that seem to lay before us we must see all these freedoms as part and parcel of just two paths. All action is constrained by two fundamentally different results.

If we do not understand this or if we do not accept this, if we believe all ways lead to God or that there is nothing fundamentally different about all the choices we could make believing in Jesus is not going to help us. Indeed, the non-binary will see no need to believe in Jesus or think he has anything fundamental to offer. Non-binary’s will view Jesus as a multifaceted element in an infinite variety of options. Nor will there be any need to see Scripture as anything more than another book with a message one can accept or reject, or, if one chooses, a book and a message to edit as the need and wish arises.

Until we know and fully embrace the idea there are only two ways, one being the right way but narrow and hard to find and the other broad and popular we will not take life and the options the bible give us as of vital significance.

This is what has to happen before anything else happens. We must reduce all of our options down to just two. We need to put ourselves in the position of the thief on the cross. There were two criminals, one took the broad way of ridicule and the other of repentance.

The broad way is human freedom, what we call liberalism. Human freedom has no boundaries or limits. If there is something that constrains or limits us this is not freedom. It does not belong on the path of freedom, the second path. Liberalism is about eliminating all moral boundaries. It is also about rejecting the truths of scripture and science in favor of a human narrative.

The key mechanism or social ideology used to promote this idea is the free market. If a market is free there are no hindrances in place but the price of a product or service and the seller’s willingness to sell and the buyer’s willingness to buy.

Libertarianism, libertine and liberalism all share the same root in liberty. Despite the cry, give me liberty or give me death, the sentiment is misplaced. Freedom from tyranny is one thing but to call out for unfettered freedom is to misunderstand the nature of freedom.

Many have disputed the claim we are free. Yet, to not assume we are free is to question the idea that we are responsible for our actions. There seems to be an impasse regarding the issue. The world has opted for freedom as the preferred route Not without reservation and not without countervailing philosophies it is true, but all of these complaints have more to do with whom is free and whom is being restrained than about a concern for the sovereignty of God.

Most modern thinkers will tell you gender identity is not under a person’s control, unless this is something they see as a good thing. Despite also supporting the concept of gender fluidity, in which the person picks and chooses what gender to be almost at random, many thinkers oppose the idea of sexual dimorphism as an assault on freedom. But then what is freedom… freedom is meaningless until we define what we are free from.

But let’s interpret the two paths as contrasting freedom with non-freedom. The Freedom path allows us to choose whatever we wish, except to be unfree. If we choose to be unfree it means we have converted to path one.

A person on path two might be a dictator or the subject of one. They will still think they are free but not free enough. The dictator will want more power over his subjects and the subject will want more rights to make him or her free of the dictator. Neither will believe they are under any absolute injunction to give more power or freedom to the other. Neither will accept they need to be less free. Neither will give much weight to the wishes of the other person.

The question of course becomes one of are we free and responsible for our actions or are we the products of causality? If God exists how are we free, if we are not free how are we responsible for our actions, but if there is no God and the product of causality how are we responsible for our actions?

How can we be free in either a materialist universe or one created by an omniscient God?

But we need to clarify what we mean by freedom.

What freedom has a Christian? We are free in a technical sense in that we can choose to oppose God but not in a rational or logical or moral sense because our faith means we ought to desire nothing more than to serve God. The lover can cheat but his love for another eliminates the possibility he or she will cheat. A Christian could steal but his love of God protects him from temptation. We are not free to the degree we do not wish to be free. The narrow path is the path taken by those who have abandoned freedom to be obedient to God.

If one is free how can one be bounded, if one is bounded in any way how can one be free?

The bible is clear. There are two groups of persons. Scripture refers to them as the sheep and goats. There are those who are saved and those destined for damnation. There is no purgatory or holding cell or existential void or phantom zone. One is in one group or the other and what determines this is what path one is on.

The bible tells us by our fruits we are known. We are not known by protestations of faith. Apparently, words do not cut it with God. In fact, Jesus tells us a story of two sons, one who said all the right things but did not do what he was supposed to do and another who said the wrong things yet repented, and his works spoke for him.

Perhaps the protestation of faith means more to man and made more for man’s benefit than Gods. After all, God can see our heart, he hardly needs to hear our words. Indeed, we may as well look at baptism and protestations of faith as a form of work.

It can be said that we either work for God or for Satan. If we think of the two options as two kingdoms our works add to one and take from the other or take from one and add to the other. This is called a zero-sum game. We have two competing groups which can only grow by taking from resources from the other.

A protestation of faith is only important in that it expresses our allegiance, it is saying we are committed to supporting the White Knight. But the protestation is only as important as our life continues to express or confirm this position.

We cannot avoid the reality that we must act and that each act adds value or consumes value. There is nothing we can do that does not expend energy and impact the world in some way. Even our death adds value to the world or removes it, depending on the kind of person we were. Nothing we do or fail to do does not fail to add wealth or fail to waste something. Everything we do has consequences whether it is by action or inaction, an act of commission or omission.

Think of life as an account. This account can be called our ledger page in the Book of Life. Our account is either in the red or black, it has either a positive balance or a negative one, depending on the nature of our actions.

In bookkeeping there are no middle or grey areas, every entry is a credit or a debit. The balance in the ledger is either a positive or negative sum. So, it is with life, we add value to the church or we subtract value. There are two paths, one builds the church and the other does not and in fact, if we do not build the church we inevitably add to its decay.

The Book of Life is our ledger account with the church. All the good we do if it does not contribute to the building up of God’s church is not recorded. If it is recorded it is not a positive value.  Christianity is about creating a positive balance in our accounts with the church, and therefore in the Book of Life. To do this we need to know the value of what we do. This requires a quantified way of looking at life and our actions in life.

We have unlimited ways to waste what we do, we have only a narrow range of ways of building the church. Do not waste what you are given. Help build the church and prove God’s way is good.

Taxation is not only unnecessary but also a violation of our human rights. For more on this subject see our Blog entry, “Taxation Is A violation Of Our Human Rights.”

The right of the state to tax is inherent in the state but no where else. Taxation exists because the state makes it possible to tax its subjects.

It would have to be shown that there is no other way to do what the state does or that it has a legitimate claim on the resources it requisitions.

This brings into question the nature of ownership. In Babylonian cultures the state issues charters giving certain rights to private persons over the resources under state control. At one time the state would assign whole cities and towns to its sycophants, later on this became adjudicated by a market in which the state would sell resources to wealthy clients. In the modern version of the state the state became something of a service provider. However, these services are more akin to those provided by a broker of stolen goods, or fence in the vernacular.

There is only one form of ownership which cannot be disputed and that is personal ownership. To dispute this is to dispute everything that makes life possible. This being said what is more owned than what we create? If we have a right to our home and our food what is more rightfully owned than the food, we grow and the house we build?

There are issues with this, but these issues have been dealt with in several other places, for now we will then ask, “Where does the state get its ownership claims?”

Who gave the state the right to claim all the resources within a nation and then to assign certain charter rights to individuals?

Unless we are willing to say, “Might makes right,” we cannot find justification for the states claim to a political jurisdiction. Constitutionalists may say that the people gave this right to the state. Where did the people gain this right to assign it to the state? 

We often consider that the majority has the right to impose their will on the majority, but the potential evils of this philosophy are well-known. 

This is not to be an in-depth inquiry into the moral case for government. It ought to be seen by now there is not strong moral foundation for government, at best we can say that it is a necessary evil. And this is what the following will be on, “Is the state a necessary evil?” The answer to this is contained in the answer to the following, “Can the private sector provide social goods?” 

The response is rarely  “Yes,” or “No.” There is a lot of things the private sector can supply, at least in part, that the people prefer to see supplied by the state. Which brings us to the crux of the issue. “Do we want the private sector supplying social goods such as education, health care, policing and defence?” Virtually everyone will say, “No,” to one or more of these items, which brings us to another point. “What are we talking about when we discuss the private sector?”

Language is an incredible thing but when one thinks about language, we realize all those terms used to convey meaning convey only that meaning which the hearer has learned. It is unlikely many will associate the private sector with anything other than capitalism and what is erroneously referred to as private ownership and the free market. Here, the private sector refers to that which is external to the public sector. It will assist the discussion no end if the reader remembers the private sector is not equated with capitalism, unfortunately the reason for this is not as clear as it ought to be.

Capitalism is not free of the state and despite all claims to the contrary this writer sees no practical way to change this. Private ownership of the means of production is seen as a fictitious form of ownership and the free market is anything but free, other than free of any moral or religious scruples. 

We could talk about reforming these institutions to make them more fully private, but this seems to give these words new meaning which would be better served by abandoning them altogether. A free market that is not free and a capitalism that no longer responds to the profit motive is felt to be incoherent. Here we will discuss Exchanges as a form of the private sector that can be harnessed for the purposes of eliminating the public sector and its agents. 

As this is just an introduction and not a full scaled inquiry, we shall reduce the discussion down to simple terms. Thus the transformation will occur on an island. As Exchanges are infinitely scalable, by this we mean, from a few persons to a global model; it ought not unduly concern us if we deal with a small population on an island. What is earth but a far larger island similarly isolated?

Let’s assume this population could get together, vote in a discussion group who could write a constitution. They could then vote on the constitution and having assented to it, elections would be held in accordance to the constitution and a government elected.

This government would have by constitutional authority, the right to enact law including laws relating to the financing and boarding of an elected government.

However, let’s say they take an alternative route. Let’s assume they divide up into 12 craft guilds. Each guild specializes in a particular economic sector. These are listed below:

1. DEFENSE

2. TRANSPORTATION

3. TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT

4. COMMUNICATIONS

5. ENERGY MINES AND RESOURCES

6. INDUSTRY 

7. SALES AND SERVICES

8. CONSTRUCTION

9. HEALTH AND WELFARE

10. EDUCATION

11. POLITICS AND JUSTICE

12. CULTURE

Each sector has its officials. Here is where language becomes as opaque as informative. The head of the Transportation sector is a private entity, a CEO is you need a label, but he or she also serves as a political official. Or, to put it another way, since the public sector was not established the head of the private sector institutions i.e., the head of a guild serves as the government on the island.

First of all, lets think of what a government would do. If it wishes to build a road it extracts money from the subjects. Then it hires people in the construction sector to build the road. On the island the guilds decide a road across the island would make the island more efficient, save on transportation costs and improve the quality of life, in short, a new road would increase the value of the island. This is spearheaded by the Transportation Sector.

The Construction Sector looks at all of the various projects planned and arranges to have sufficient resources shifted to the road building project at the most appropriate time.

If it is short of resources, it applies to have resources shifted to the Construction Sector. If for some reason it has resources that are not going to be fully utilized, it has these resources shifted to some other sector. The island in this sense operates as a single market or business. It does not pay the island to have any resources idle or underused. If the Construction Sector did not shift under-utilized resources to a different sector the potential wealth created would decline and the entire island would share in the loss, which would likely cause the head of that Sector to be replaced.

The justice sector engages in policing activities. The sectors would hire the Justice Sector to control crime and other issues. Because the Justice Sector is a private company, or a department in a private company, the department heads or Sector Heads, decide how to allocate the policing function and how much resources will go into this sector.

All of this is over seen by the shareholders, which are the citizens of the island. They vote in the chairpersons of the local cells and so control the appointments of all the officials on the island.

If we can imagine working for a company in which all the employees are the shareholders and the officials of the company are all paid employees of the company this gives us a picture of how the island operates.

This has been a very brief overview. For more detail acquire, “Human Rights Versus Legal Rights," by Robert Burk on Amazon.

Some people have argued that borders are not natural therefore nations have no right to keep people out. Scripture does not support this. Israel was a nation whose offenses included a failure to maintain its national, cultural and religious integrity. Science also fails to justify the liberal claim.

If we eliminate national borders why not all boarders and all boundaries. If we eliminate all borders, we have no more human rights because our rights are controlled to our power over our place. But the problem is not really these attacks against national integrity. This is just a diversion against the real attack, and that is the attack on the sovereignty of God.

The church of God is under attack. We as the representatives of God on earth give authority over the things of God, are the church. As a people of God, we are to be kind to the stranger that sojourns among us but this teaching is not for enemy agents whose quest is to destroy that which we are responsible for.

These lands are Christians lands bequeathed to us by God and belong to the church. These lands are God’s given by Him to whom He Wills. It is not important or crucial that we are being threatened as individuals or as a culture; the thing we need to realize is that the suzerainty of God is being challenged by the threat made against the earth. We can forgive threats against us but not threats against the supreme authority of God. The lands of God and the authority of God is under attack; threatened by enemies, domestic and foreign. They want to strip the church of what rightfully belongs to it. It is not that they want the land as much as they want to demonstrate our God is powerless against their destructive intentions.

The money that supports these activities are our taxes. The money we offer for the benefit of the people of God are used to oppose God and His people. Our taxes are our offering to God given to support the church and the people of God. The people of God are those who faithfully build his church on the land given to us by God using the resources given to us for this purpose.

It is not just the money we give directly to the social club called the church that belongs to God for the work of God. The state is technically an agent of Christ to fulfill the purpose of Christ. Our monies are meant to benefit the people of God.

Christianity is our culture; the church is a way of life we have lived as lived our ancestors before us. These lands we live on are church lands, this life is based on Christ. We were bequeathed these lands and this culture by God. It is our legacy; it is ours by right of Dominion and stewardship.

We are citizens of God’s Kingdom, not subjects of a state.

We are the owners of all we have created and the heirs of all that God Created.

By the doctrine of Dominion, the earth belongs to the people of God.

By the principle of Stewardship, we are responsible for the lands under our control.

Rights given by God and responsibilities owed to God cannot be re-assigned, abrogated or diminished. The authority of the people comes directly from God.

We are owners, we have the power of owners. We are not renters or peasants or subjects.

The expression of our rights and privileges given to us by God is manifested in the church. The church is not a building nor people. The church is the people who care for the earth. The church is not a building or land or people it is owners of a place and people serving as the caretakers of the things belonging to God.

• All our social problems are created by Babylon and the systems put in place by Babylon. 
• If you are suffering from unemployment, poverty or any other social costs it is because you support Babylon and oppose God.
• This is just simple logic, Babylon produces all social costs, the biblical system produces none. If there are social cost, then the Babylonian system is being supported and the biblical system is not.
• Exchange is a small group program for implementing the four pillars on all three fronts, the political, economic and ecclesiastical. Unless we reform all three sectors, we cannot build the church as described in Scripture.
