Generations later and only now are judicial activists beginning to re-discover The Bible from a lawful perspective; as well as realise that the legal problems of society were not much different than as they are now.
The highest law is divine being a rule given by divine instruction as nothing may contradict such a rule. The second highest law be the reason of mind, being an edict given by a great council of wise elders or jurists, as nothing absurd and without good reason may be considered law. The third highest law be the law of the people, as the consent and will of the people is the source of true authority. Every law has it’s boundaries called jurisdiction.
Even today, for the believers in the teachings of Iesus (there was no ‘J’, only ‘I’, in English during the time the 1611 King James Version was written) the Nazarene and the Apostles The Bible is a source of divine law. Much to the concern of the Jewish and Roman scribes of that hierarchical era, the revolutionary teachings of the Nazarenes of the New Testament brought redemption to humanity and created a new natural law which literally superseded the old hierarchical mosaic laws. To many the Nazarenes were regarded as apostate and most of the Apostles met a tragic end. Gnostic Christians went into hiding or continued in other countries. Today the law of liberty is being revived as it was then.
The Nazarenes were well schooled and versed in different aspects of law:
The Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter IX,
Verse 9 And as Iesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
This begs the question: What did Iesus and Matthew (a tax official) talk about which convinced Matthew to leave his job? Was it maybe in connection with the herein verses? Here is Levi, another tax official…
To Mark, Chapter II,
Verse 13 and he went forth again by the sea side, and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the receipt of Custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Remember, the Levites became the treasurers and the bankers; some even today…
The Gospel according to the Apostle Luke, Chapter V,
Verse 27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a Publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. 28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
Sounds like the makings of a conspiracy already…
The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter VI,
Verse 9 Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which is called the Synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, disputing with Steven. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. 11 Then they suborned men which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 12 And they stirred up the people, and the Elders, and the Scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the Council, 13 and set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceases not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the Law. 14 For we have heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, & shall change the Customs which Moses delivered us. 15 And all that sate in the Council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.
Is this not what judicial activists of today are doing? Speaking blasphemy against the law of the sea? Seeking to change the status quo/customs? Are the courts not using false witness against you? The opposing attorney is not a witness, they are a representative… where is the witness? The corpus delict? Absent a body there can be no dispute… the truth is, in a corporation versus a ‘citizen’ there is never a witness…
The Gospel according to the Apostle Matthew, Chapter XVII,
Verse 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money, came to Peter, and said, Does not your master pay tribute? 25 He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus prevented him, saying, What thinks thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter said unto him, Of strangers. Iesus said unto him, Then are the children free. 27 Notwithstanding, least we should offend them, go thou to the Sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me, and thee.
A very telling verse showing Iesus’ disdain for authority and for money as when he overturned the tables of the moneylenders…
The Gospel according to John, Chapter VIII,
Verse 32 And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
Very telling words… The mission of the Nazarenes was to set humanity free. There are only two places where the words ‘free man’ is used:
The First Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, Chapter VII,
Verse 22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant is the Lord’s free man: likewise also he that is called being free, is Christ’s servant. 23 You are bought with a price, be not you the servants of men.
Revelations, Chapter VI,
Verse 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains,
The Bible, 1611 King James Version 1611 as a source of divine law for Christians has the following to say on the jurisdiction of your body and spirit:
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, Chapter III
Verse 16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If any man defiles the Temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the Temple of God is holy, which Temple ye are. 18 Let no man deceive himself: If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God: for it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness 20 and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no man glory in men, for all things are yours.
This begs the question as to how courts of today then gain jurisdiction over our body.
Chapter VI Verse 19: “What, know you not that your body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Gods.
Our bodies cannot be lawfully incarcerated by the state or anyone else. It belongs to your Creator and is under divine jurisdiction. And, we were redeemed with a price long time ago and which also means that under divine law we cannot be debtors.
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Çorinthians, Chapter VI,
Verse 16 and what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? For ye are the Temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Here again, the divine law dwells within us. Then how can for example THE STATE or any agency for that matter have jurisdiction over the people?
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians, Chapter II,
Verse 18 for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners; but fellow citizens with the Saints, and of the household of God, 20 And are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, le-sus Christ himself being the chief corner stone, 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together, grows unto a holy Temple in the Lord: 22 In whom you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Here we find that our lawful citizenship of body and spirit is with the saints while today our ‘legal person’ aka strawman is REGISTERED as a ‘citizen’ of THE STATE which are all legal fiction terms as substantiated by the following Supreme Court ruling – No corporate jurisdiction over the natural man: Supreme Court of the United States 1795, “Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial persons. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this is that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them.” S.C.R. 1795, (3 U.S. 54; 1 L.Ed. 57; 3 Dall. 54)
The key is in the word ‘person’. The remedy lies in what is called the subject-matter-jurisdiction or jurisdiction. The ‘artificial person’ aka THE STATE or any other man-made legal fiction agency clothed as an ‘artificial person’ only have jurisdiction over the legal fiction aka ‘natural person’ which is a cabalistic term; Black’s Law 4th Edition, 1968 defines ‘natural’ as follows:
NATURAL. The juristic meaning of this term does not differ from the vernacular, except in the cases where it is used in opposition to the term “legal;” and then it means proceeding from or determined by physical causes or conditions, as distinguished from positive enactments of law, or attributable to the nature of man rather than to the commands of law, or based upon moral rather than legal considerations or sanctions.
The above describes the contra-distinct jurisdictions between ‘natural’ (also similar to ‘lawful’) and ‘legal’ and like oil and water the two cannot mix. A ‘natural person’ is a legal term even though it is not lawful.
The Bible is full of verses written by the Apostles regarding the word ‘person’… “…let those who have ears hear…and those who have eyes see…”
Regarding the ‘person’:
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy, Chapter I,
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity, out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. 6 From which some having swerved, have turned aside unto vain jangling, 7 desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Do today’s law-givers know what they are saying with all these man-made rules they use in today’s courts?
8 But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully. 9 Knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for unholy, and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
The key word is ‘lawful’ as opposed to ‘legal’; lawful refers to the un-enacted divine law, natural law or law of the land; and, today in contradistinction ‘legal’ is the commercial enacted law of the sea.
The General Epistle of the Apostle James, Chapter II,
Verse 1 My brothers, have not the faith our Lord Iesus Christ the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold-ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man, in vile raiment: 3 And ye have respect to him that wears the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place: and say to the poor. Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
From the above we can deduct that a ‘person’ is someone who masks themselves with a certain status.
The Gospel according to the Apostle Matthew, Chapter XXII,
Verse 15 then went the Pharisees, and took counsel, how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teaches the way of God in trueth, neither cares thou for any man; for thou regards not the person of men.
Here the Pharisees and Herodians were schooled in Roman legalese, trying to trap Iesus by the law regarding the ‘person’.
The Gospel according to the Apostle Luke, Chapter XV,
1 Then drew near unto him all the Publicans and sinners, for to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them. 3 And he spoke this parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he loose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and goes after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends, and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
He has a great comeback for them in the form of a parable.
The Gospel according to the Apostle Luke, Chapter XX,
Verse 20 and they watched him, and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou says and teaches rightly, neither accepts thou the person of any, but teaches the way of God truly.
What is being implied here again is that the lawyers of that time tried to gain jurisdiction over Iesus by employing semantic deceit nowadays called LEGALESE, not much different to what the courts are doing today…
The Gospel According to Matthew Chapter XXVII,
Verse 23 And the Governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out, yes more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see you to it.
Even Pilatus used semantic deceit by referring to the ‘person’ of Iesus because in truth he had no divine jurisdiction over the natural man, only his ‘person’ and this was his ‘legal’, but not lawful, justification for plausible deniability.
The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter X,
Verse 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a trueth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation, he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.
Paul was highly schooled in Roman law as Saul before his conversion, but when he realised the nature of divine law, he could probably see the jurisdictional shortcomings of the Roman ‘legal’ hierarchal man-made laws.
The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans, Chapter II,
Verse 11 for there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without Law, shall also perish without Law: and as many as have sinned in the Law, shall be judged by the Law. 13 ( For not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law shall be justified; 14 For when the Gentiles which have not the Law, do by nature the things contained in the Law: these having not the Law , are a Law unto themselves, 15 Which show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing, or else excusing one another: 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by le-sus Christ, according to my Gospel.
Natural law is written in our hearts. It is our moral and ethical compass. We call it our ‘heart’, or ‘conscience’, or ‘gut feeling’.
The Epistle of Paul to the Galatians, Chapter II,
Verse 4 And that because of false brothers unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty, which we have in Christ Iesus that they might bring us into bondage. 5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no not for an hour, that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you. 6 But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me, God accepts no man’s person,) for they who seemed to be somewhat, in conference added nothing to me.
The Creator accepts no man’s ‘person’ or status. We are all equal under divine law.
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Colossians, Chapter III,
24 Knowing, that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
Again no respect for ‘persons’…
5 Hearken, my beloved brothers, has God not chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him? 6 But you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the Judgement seats? 7 Do they not blaspheme that worthy Name, by that which you are called? 8 If you fulfil the royal Law, according to the Scripture, you shall love your neighbour as yourself, you do well. 9 But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convinced of the Law, as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, do not commit adultery; said also, do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you have become a transgressor of the Law. 12 So speak you, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the Law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgement without mercy, that has shown no mercy, & mercy rejoices against Judgement.
Are the courts and judges of today showing the people mercy?
The Fist Epistle of the Apostle Peter, Chapter I,
Verse 16 Because it is written, “Be ye holy, for I am holy”. 17 And if you call on the Father, without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 For as much as you know that you are not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot, 20 who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but is manifest in these last times for you: 21 Who by him do believe in God that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
We were redeemed!!!
The Second General Epistle of Peter, Chapter II,
Verse 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of: 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words, make merchandise of you, whose judgement now of a long time lingers not , and their damnation slumbers not
Does this not sound like what lawgivers today are doing to the people?
The General Epistle of Jude,
Verse 16 these are murmurers and complainers, walking after their own lusts, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
The following verses we believe allude to this ‘advantage’ mentioned:
The Gospel according to the Apostle Matthew, Chapter XXIII,
Verse 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased: and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted. 13 But wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: For you neither go in your selves, neither suffer you them that are entering, to go in. 14 Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for you devour widows houses, and for a pretence make long prayer; therefore you shall receive the greater damnation.
Sound like today’s global foreclosure pandemic? The rebuke continues…
15 Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for you compass Sea and land to make one Proselyte, and when he is made, you make him two fold more the child of hell than yourselves.
The judicial activists will recognise that commercial law is the law of the sea and is swallowing up the law of the land by greying areas of jurisdiction; for example, how did the law of the sea such as admiralty law get onto the land?
16 Woe unto you, you blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple, he is a debtor.
Today all BAR members belong to a secret society known as The Temple in the City of London… they still make long ‘prayers’ in court documents… and they make one swear by the gold of baal’s unholy temple… hence the Jewish people traditionally only traded silver amongst themselves…
To add to this regarding oaths and solemn affirmations in a court:
Verse 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is Gods throne: 35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: neither by Hierusalem, for it is the city of the great king. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be Yes, yes: No, No: For whatsoever is more than these, comes of evil.
The rebuke continues…
Verse 23 Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for you pay tithe of mint, and aniseed, and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the Law, judgement, mercy and faith: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 You blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
You blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Imagine saying the above in a court of today? He, he;
Verse 27 Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Sounds like even then they powdered their faces into a mask? Does this bring to mind what judges or lawyers still do today with their wigs and bat-capes?
The Book of the Prophet Isaiah, Chapter III,
Verse 8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth.
Sound like any corporation or oligarch you may know of in today’s world?
Chapter X,
Verse 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed: 2 to turn aside the needy from judgement, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their pray, and that they may rob the fatherless.
Sound like a social welfare court near you? Or, much the same as courts of today are doing?
To conclude, this brings to mind the following enigmatic verse:
Ecclesiastes, Chapter I,
Verse 8 the thing that has been, it is that which shall be: and that which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. 9 Is there anything, whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It has been already of old time, which was before us. 10 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come, with those that shall come after.
