The Curse and the
Contract
Why are we subject to the
ordinances of men? Why are we under tribute? Mankind has
consistently gone into bondage and under the authority of other men
who make laws, compel offerings, regulate the lives of the people.
They become subject by application to obtain benefits and their
contract and covenants to guarantee security.
“And to you who are troubled
[contracted]
rest [tolerable captivity]
with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his
mighty angels,” (2 Thessalonian 1:7)
According to all the works
which they have done since the day that God brought them up out of
Egypt even unto this day the people have returned to bondage. The people in the camp of the golden calf (at the foot of Mt. Sinai)
were going back into bondage. In Egypt all gold was in the treasury
and they were bound under a central authority of that government. The
people were no longer free but bound and their loyalty is secured.
“He who contracts, knows, or ought
to know, the quality of the person with whom he contracts, otherwise
he is not excusable.”
It is that
power of contract that has allowed men to return to bondage and
ignorance can be no excuse for those who chose to receive benefits at
the expense of their neighbor.
“No State shall… impairing
the obligation of contracts”
“From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From
liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency
to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into
bondage.”
