is not God's will. It is contrary to His Plan, His laws. All
forms of GOVERNMENT today, whether civil or religious, are PAGAN in
form---based on the NIMROD principle! They are WORLDLY! And they
are WRONG! We are, of course, as Christians, to submit to such
civil government as may have jurisdiction over us---to pray for our
presidents, kings, or rulers---but WE ARE NOT TO BE OF THEM.
The True NEW-Testament CHURCH
Get this! It seems almost none have seen it, but it was
the MARRIAGE covenant made at Sinai which ESTABLISHED Israel as a
GOVERNMENT. When the covenant was annulled---the DIVORCE given
Israel, ---the right of GOVERNMENT, so far as God's type government
is concerned, was taken from Israel. The privilege of government
is given over to the GENTILES because God always PERMITS human
beings to break His laws, and to live or organize contrary to them
---but as men sow, so do they reap!
In due time, God sent His Son, Christ the Messiah, as the
MESSENGER OF THE (New) COVENANT (Mal. 3:1). And so Jesus came
into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the KINGDOM (government) of
GOD (Mark 1:14)---the GOOD NEWS of a KINGDOM, or GOVERNMENT to be
set up only when Jesus shall come again as KING of kings (world
ruler) and LORD of lords (world high-priest).
By the time He came, the Jews had gotten themselves
organized into a number of SECTS, or denominations. There were
the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes, the Samaritans, etc.
JESUS JOINED NONE OF THEM---rather He called His followers OUT of
all organized denominations!
And JESUS NEVER ORGANIZED A CHURCH---He never ONCE gave
His disciples any form of Church GOVERNMENT---He never once gave
any man AUTHORITY OVER His Church, or power to rule!
"Ye know," Jesus said, speaking of the GENTILE-type
government as started by Nimrod, "that they which are accounted to
RULE OVER the GENTILES exercise lordship over them; and their great
ones exercise AUTHORITY upon them. BUT SO SHALL IT N O T BE
AMONG YOU." (Mark 10:42-43).
It is true Jesus gave His apostles AUTHORITY---but over
what? Listen! "Then called He His twelve disciples together, and
gave them power AND AUTHORITY" .... over WHAT? over MEN? No,
NEVER, but ... "over all devils, and to cure diseases." (Luke 9:1).
Why is it that those men posing as the "ministers of Jesus Christ"
today never ATTEMPT to exercise this divinely-given AUTHORITY over
demons, and over sickness and disease, but trust in the pagan
science of MEDICINE which originated in EGYPT---and yet they assume
authority over MEN in what they call Christ's CHURCH, which
authority Christ never gave! Isn't this twisting and wresting the
Scripture---turning it upside down!
It is said that PETER was the "big boss"---that Christ
gave him AUTHORITY to rule the Church. I will gladly pay $25 for
one text showing the delegation of this authority! Rather, when
the disciples at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the
