The
Price of Surety
“Many a man thinks he is buying
pleasure, when he is really selling himself a
slave to it.”Ben
Franklin.
Modern
society is in bondage as a surety. Men have sold themselves a surety for debt and are suffering for it.
“He that is surety for a stranger
shall smart [for it]: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.”
Proverbs 11:15
A contract “arises from
the principles of natural law: it is voluntary, and founded in
consent: it involves mutual and reciprocal obligations; and it is for
mutual benefit… the use of the thing is the object.”
The captivity of the people has
often been established through the acceptance of benefits granted by
a contractual submission to the feigned benevolence of government.
When the benefit is provided through debt the former beneficiary is
snared as a surety.
The Bible is the story of men
rejecting the rule by God and going into servitude under the
governments of men, which is sin. The Ten Laws are the constitution
of God’s government. Christ’s redemption and command for
us to live by faith, hope and charity, loving our neighbor and not
coveting his goods is our surety.
Have we made covenants with God
or with men and their gods? A contract is the law that binds us and
there is no relief in Federal or State governments who by their own
natures must hold you to the contracts of your own making.
“Howbeit then, when ye knew not
God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now,
after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye
again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to
be in bondage?” Galatians 4:8, 9
