If the "government" that the U.S. CONstitution created was established in defiance of the Kingdom of Christ as I am suggesting, then it would be very easy to identify it based on its fruit. Jesus said, "A good tree CANNOT bring forth bad fruit." So, let's examine the fruit.
The "government" that the U.S. CONstitution created has caused its "citizens" to involve themselves in the following actions that are clear violations of the Scriptures.
A. Labor taxes - We wonder why God apparently has turned against us??? Look at Isaiah 58. The Scriptures clearly show that God does NOT hear the prayers of people who involved themselves in taxing labor. If God did not hear the prayers of people who taxed labor "back then" - what makes us think that God has changed His mind for today? This is what is so amazing. The Scripture CLEARLY tells us that it is the nature of God to HATE LABOR TAXES - yet we think somehow we have evolved into a people that God has changed His nature with because we are something special. Weird.
B. Witholding taxes - James 5 tells us that witholding taxes from the fruit of people's labor makes God so angry He wants to declare war. Yet, we continue on with the practice from generation to generation and expect that God should treat us differently - than what the Scriptures clearly show are contrary to the nature of God.
C. Social security - Mark 5 shows us that the "social security system" of today is just a twist on a practice that has been around for thousands of years. Jesus said "If you involved yourself with a Social Security system - you make God's Word of no effect in your life." Yet, somehow we wonder "What's the problem?" What's causing the problem? What's the solution?" Amazing.
D. The "citizen" of the United States of America is called upon to "swear an oath" at just about every single instance of transaction between the "citizen" and his "government." Yet again, Jesus made it clear in Matthew 6 that HIS people were not to swear oaths - EVER - of any kind. The disciple, James, who walked with Jesus, talked with Jesus, lived with Jesus, saw Jesus murdered, then witnessed His resurrection and subsequent ascension to Heaven - stated in James 5 that of all the things he learned from Jesus - THE MOST IMPORTANT thing - ABOVE ALL - was not to swear oaths. Yet, today, swearing oaths is as common as the daylight and hardly any of the "christians" think a thing about it.
E. Licentiousness - The "citizen" of the U.S. is licentious - a word that is used in the New Testament as lascivious. Most of you have a "license" to do every single thing in your life. Nearly every single thing you do is accompanied by a "license" from your "government." And, hardly anything is ever thought about this evil practice.
F. Debt - The borrower is servant to the lender. No man can serve two masters. Owe no man anything. The followers of Christ are supposedly delivered from death to life - yet 99.9% of the so-called "christians " in the U.S. has a "mortgage." Examine the Latin word - mort = DEATH; gage = pledge. "Mortgage" is a death pledge.
G. Paper money - A false balance is an abomination to the Lord. There are numerous passages of Scripture that show that God's "money" is gold and silver. That doesn't necessarily mean that gold and silver HAS to be your currency - ultimately - fair trading is what the economy of God is concerned with. The criminal "government" established by the CON has caused total fraud and thievery to prevail across the land and the people gladly accept and trade paper "dollars" as "currency." Webster's 1828 Dictionary states that "money" is gold, silver and copper coins." It goes on to say that RUDE nations sometimes use "paper" as money.
H. Usury - The "paper" economy that the CON created "government" has established for its "citizens" is based on a usury / interest system. It is totally evil. It is diametrically opposed to the clear teachings of the Scripture - AND - in Psalm 115 - David - in his despair asked God who would abide in His holy temple? One of the answers that came back was he who putteth NOT his money to usury... But, for today, somehow it's different for today - than it was "back then."
This list could go on and on and on. If anything in this list has merit, why aren't the "churches" talking about it? They have made their choice. Their "god" is the "government" established by the U.S. CON - they have "no king but Caesar." They have traded King Jesus and His ways for a "government" like all the other nations. ALL - WITHOUT EXCEPTION - ALL of the "churches" in this country are mouthpieces for the "government" created by the CON. There are a few "churches" who claim to stand against the "wickedness" of some of the "laws" and the "politicians" - but in reality - they stand against nothing because their "members" still claim "citizenship" with the U.S. All they are doing is asking their "gods" to be "better gods." They are asking their "gods" to make better "laws." They are still the first to leap to their feet when the music is played ("National Anthem") and they are the loudest to speak their "pledge of allegiance (a statement that one has NO OTHER SOVEREIGNS BESIDES THE U.S. "government"), and they are oh so proud to send their boys and girls off to fight treacherous, murderous wars that the criminals that run the "governments" around the world create to promote their evil agendas.
With each of the actions that were listed above, the Scripture clearly states that those who practice such things remove the power of God from their lives. They claim to know God, they claim to worship God, but their actions completely deny Him.
The "preachers" have convinced their "flocks" that they are all under grace and that they can live any way they want to - because God looks the other way today. He treats people today differently than He treated millions of other people who lived at other times during history. Insanity. Yet we sit back and scratch our heads and ask "What's the problem?"
