JESUS LOVES VOLUNTEERS

by Walter Giddings

September 12, 2021

Greetings Kindred, Fellow Sheep, and Neighbours.  We are on a first name basis here.  My name is walter.  I am delighted to be in your company.  Your presence here indicates your desire to Change What Will Happen Tomorrow! 

We cannot avoid the Term Grassroots.  It is too good a picture.  How many neighbours here had to mow their lawn before April 15?  I pity you.  Maggie and I avoided it until Saturday, April 17.  There are lawns all over our Community, every Neighborhood, Everywhere.  Like, man, Grass Is!  We mow it, we scalp it, we wack it, we bush hog it, we landscape it.  Some of our Neighbors terrorize it with chemicals and make us Sick!  Grass Lives!  Grassroots are Relentless! 

What else in our Neighborhoods is Relentless?  Families are Relentless!  In the Age of LGBTQE, Neighbors still insist on reciting wedding vows.  Fathers and Mothers still insist on training up Children in the way they should go.  [Ever wonder what the E in LGBTQE stands for?  Extraterrestrials!]   Only Hypocrites criticize us for being Inclusive!  Those with Criminal Intent to destroy Families are left with only one last desperate Strategy.  They can only try to make us wish we hadn’t.  Families are Grassroots!  Families are Relentless. 

Neighbors:  may we conduct a brief Survey of The History of We the People on two major topics, Theft and Sworn Testimony. 

First, who here has heard these words? "Thou shalt not steal."  Exodus 20:15

Who here has never heard these words, “Thou shalt not steal”?  In what form or manner are these words written? A Commandment. 

The form or manner in which these words are written or spoken is Commandment.  Who are “Thou”?  “Thou” are the ones whom the Commandment commands.  Neighbors, how many in our Neighborhoods know this Commandment does not apply to them.  What would happen in our Neighborhoods if every Family were to hearken to, heed, and obey these words? 

These words are the 8th of The Ten Commandments.  Here is our Survey Question:  Who here objects to The 8th Commandment? 

Who is still here among The Living that remembers the time we did not lock our doors?  Was there a time when Stealing was unusual?  Let the Record of these Proceedings show that there were zero objections to The 8th Commandment.  Thank you for participating in The First Topic of our Survey, Theft.  My firm Purpose is to be Historical.  Here is a part of our History: 

The History of We the People

"If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey the Commandments ... ”  

“The mere posting of the copies ... the Establishment Clause prohibits.” Stone v Graham 449 US 39 (1980). 

Contrast that US Supreme Court Case with this New York State Supreme Court Case decided 119 years earlier: 

“It would be strange that a people Christian in doctrine and worship, many of whom or whose forefathers had sought these shores for the privilege of worshipping God in simplicity and purity of faith, and who regarded religion as the basis of their civil liberty and the foundation of their rights,  should, in their zeal to secure to all the freedom of conscience which they valued so highly, solemnly repudiate and put beyond the pale of law the religion which was dear to them as life and dethrone the God who they openly and avowedly professed to believe had been their protector and guide as a people.  Lindenmuller v The People 33 Barb. 548  (Sup. Ct. NY1861). 

“It would be strange that a people Christian in doctrine and worship, ... should, in their zeal to secure to all the freedom of conscience, which they valued so highly, solemnly repudiate and put   beyond the pale of law the religion which was dear to them as life ...” Does this mean that the majority of the Justices of The United States Supreme Court 119 years later, in 1980, were not “a people Christian in doctrine and worship” ?  Were we, as a national people in 1980 still “Christian in doctrine and worship”?  According to The Oldest Literature in Adam do people usually get the government they deserve?  Did The Constitution fail “We the People”?  Or did “We the People” fail The Constitution? 

Where do I get the unmitigated gall, even The Right to ask these Hard Questions?  It takes One to know One!  I was born on a Wednesday afternoon in the First Month of the Year 1945.  In this lifetime I tried 3 Times to read The Federalist Papers with understanding.  At the age of 69 I was failing miserably for the 3rd time.  Words fail me to describe to you the frustration over my inability to do this.  We men know how hard that moment is.  I finally came to my senses.  I admitted before Heaven I did not know how to do this.  As soon as I asked for help a thought, a memory reoccurred to me that back in 1986 a family gave me a reproduction of The 1828 Webster’s First American Dictionary of The English Language.  A second thought occurred to me on the heels of the First.  I should use The 1828 Webster to look up every multi-syllable word in the first Federalist Paper regardless of whether I thought I knew its definition.  It took me 9 months to look up those words in the first 3 Federalist Papers.  To say I got an education is an Understatement.  My Grandmother used to tell me “Walter a lot can happen in 9 months”! 

9 months into The Federalist Papers, the thought occurred to me that we, you and I, no longer speak the Language of our Forefathers who framed The Republic.  I had found the source of my Problem.  Nothing was what I thought it should be.  Since then I have had opportunity to share this story of my struggle on several occasions privately and publicly.  One man asked me, Walter, if we no longer speak The Language of our Forefathers who framed The Republic, what language are we speaking?  I answered, it is a cross between gutter vernacular and alley slang.  I am now reading The AntiFederalist Papers urging The States to reject it. 

Does everybody here understand the Significance of The Federalist Papers?  Are there folks here like you and me that would like a memory jogger on the nature and cause of The Federalist Papers? Who here can help us be in remembrance of what The Federalist Papers are? 

The 1787 Constitutional Convention approved The Constitution for the United States of America September 17.  September 17 is known annually as Constitution Day.  Copies of that Final Draft were sent to The Original Thirteen States.  The People of Each State were responsible for sending delegates to a State Convention to ratify or reject it.  The 85 Federalist Papers are the collected newspaper articles written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison under the pen name Publius.  These published Articles explained to We the People why The States should ratify The Constitution.  The Early United States Supreme Court cited The Federalist Papers as a means of understanding The Intent of The Framers. 

Here is the 2nd Topic of our Survey on The History of We the People, Sworn Testimony.  Who here has heard these words:  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.  Exodus 20:16

Who are “Thou”?  What would happen in our neighborhoods if every Family were to hearken to, heed, and obey these words?  These words are the 9th of The Ten Commandments.  Here is our 2nd Survey Question:  Who here objects to The 9th Commandment?  Thank you for participating in the 2nd Topic of our Survey, Sworn Testimony.  My firm purpose is to be Historical.  Here is a part of our History: 

“Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths ... ?" Farewell  Address, George Washington  1796. 

During Donald John Trump’s Presidency The Drive By Media openly wondered if some of the people connected with The Administration, who were under suspicion of criminal activity, might be willing to “compose” in order to plea bargain for little or no sanctions.  Roger Stone openly exposed he had received such an offer, and angrily published he would never perjure himself to feed The Get Trump Gang.  The D.C. District Court Judge immediately slapped him with a Gag Order preventing him from making any comments on his case.  Was the Judge admitting that Roger Stone had nothing of value to confess toward his “Conviction”? 

Let the Record of these Proceedings show that there were zero Objections to The 9th Commandment

Is it safe to say that those who entered no timely or specific Objections to any of The Ten Commandments favor the existence and “free exercise” of The Christian Religion?  Is it also safe to say that those who favor The Existence and “Free Exercise” of The Christian Religion would view any attempt to abrogate The Existence and “Free Exercise” of The Christian Religion as a Rank Violation of American Law?

This Next Question might be the most Important we ask ourselves.  First we need to hear from those who are familiar with The Scriptures.  According to The Bible who is The Bridegroom?  Who is The Bride?  Was Jesus a real Man?  According to The Bible was Jesus’ favorite Title for Himself The Son of Adam?  Consider this:  What Real Man wants a woman by His side, Who does not want to be there with all Her Heart?  Students of The Scriptures, have we ever found a conversion at the point of a spear, the edge of the axe, or the edge of a sword or any other form of Extortion?  Would Christ even receive that?  Is Christendom the only Faith on Earth that refuses to honor forced Conversions?  Does this mean being a Christian is entirely voluntary?  Is Christendom devoid of forced conversions?  If we support the keeping of The Ten Commandments are we in support of The Christian Faith?  Is Obedience the Highest Form of Worship? 

We find these words in The Oldest Literature in Adam: 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:16

Is what we obey our God?  Even The United States Supreme Court has taken Judicial Notice that The Ten Commandments are an inseparable part of “The Free Exercise” of The Christian Faith!  Is it true the Reason “The Free Exercise” of Religion is a pillar of our Organic Law is because “The Free Exercise” means it is Voluntary?  The moment we are forced to “volunteer” it is no longer voluntary.  It is Oppression!       If the only Faith on Earth that does not receive forced conversions is The Christian Religion, then “The Free Exercise” of Religion is “The Free Exercise” of The Christian Religion.  The Name of this History Lesson is Volunteers

What kind of Rulership would punish a People who volunteer not to steal, nor bear false witness against their neighbors?!  Is that as absurd as a father who chastises his own children for doing good?  Is that too crazy?  That could never happen, right?!

The Oldest Literature in Adam says this very thing happens! 

An unjust man is an abominationto the just:  and he that is upright inthe way is abomination to the wicked.  Proverbs 29:27

What does “abomination” mean?  I am not saying “Obamanation”.  I am saying “Abomi-nation”. What does Abomination mean?  Abomination means “utterly filthy disgusting”!  Shall we plug that definition into Proverbs“An unjust man is utterly filthy disgusting to the just:   and he that is upright in the way is utterly filthy disgusting to the wicked.”  Did that Warfare begin with Adam’s Fall in The Garden?  Did that begin with Cain and Abel? 

What does The Oldest Literature in Adam say about the motive for Abel’s Murder? 

First John 3:11-12

11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him ?  Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 

“Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”  Right now we can surf the TV Program banner and discover a show titled No Good Deed.  No Good Deed is shorthand for the in your face expression “No good deed goes unpunished”!  That this World is a World of Malice is no comfort to our wives and daughters, our children and grandchildren. 

What kind of Rulership would punish a People who volunteer not to steal nor bear false witness against their neighbors?  Would that kind of Regime resemble an Asylum where the inmates dress in white and claim they are the Staff, the Orderlies, the Attendants, and even the DoctorsDoes Jill Biden claim to be a doctor? 

Where do we find the Best Textbook on Government?  Is it a Best Seller?  What is the Best Textbook on Government?  Do we need a Hint?  What Best Selling Book is the Least Read and more often collects Dust than any other Best Seller in the World?  Does this Dust Collecting Best Seller tell us anything about Government? 

Romans 13:3-4

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.  Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?  do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same. 

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good.  But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain:  for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 

If the Ruler rewards and praises Good and punishes and executes wrath upon Evil doers, do we call that Government?  What do we call Rulers who punish Good and reward Evil? Do Prosecutors reward Evildoers with refusing to prosecute?  Do Prosecutors punish the Law Abiding?  Do Legislators enact legislation to make the exercise of a Constitutional Right a crime?  It reminds me of a line from the Western, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, “Sheesh, who are those guys?!” 

What do we call a system that punishes good and rewards evil?  Does the Best Text-book on Government collecting Dust describe such a system?  How could we ever call a system punishing good and rewarding evil government?  Does that appear to be the very antithesis of the Jurisdiction or authority of government? 

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.  Daniel 7:17

“These great beasts  ... are  ... four kings.”  Do we connect Rulership with kings?  According to The Best Textbook on Government does the rule of these four kings fit the definition of the Jurisdiction of government?  From where do the four kings come?  “Four kings  ... arise out of the earth.”  Will the Kingdoms of these Four Kings actively reward evil and punish good?  Can we call rewarding Evil and punishing Good government?  Or should we call these Four Kingdoms Beast Systems? 

Have we demonstrated The Oldest Literature in Adam is the Best Textbook on Government?  Do we now have the means to discern between Beast Systems and Governments?   

One more survey question:  Who among us here is willing to volunteer to be a slave?  Do I have any volunteers for Slavery?  We do not have much time left.  The remainder of this Lesson will be a short Recruitment Speech.  I wish to recruit all of you for slavery!  I fully intend to recruit each and every one of you to volunteer for Slavery.

We begin with The 2nd 13th Amendment to The Constitution for the United States of America.  [Why it is the 2nd is a Lesson for another time.]  Let us read The 13th Amendment: 

Section 1.  Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. 

Section 2.  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.  ratified December 6, 1865. 

What form of Slavery is institutionalized, and sanctioned by this Amendment?  What form of Slavery does this Amendment fail to forbid?  The form of Slavery this Amendment fails to forbid is The form of Slavery that is against The Law of the Land to forbid!  What is the only form of Slavery that is against our Law to forbid?!

Need another hint?  Back in the late 1960’s the rock group Jefferson Airplane hit the charts on their 1st album with 2 big hits:  “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit”.  One of the songs on their 5th record album in the early 70’s was titled “God Shepherd”.  The chorus is “Oh Good Shepherd, feed my Sheep”.  Can the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God of The Oldest Literature in Adam ever be prevented from being heard in American discourse?  He was not prevented in the 1970’s.  The title of Jefferson Airplane’s 5th album is “Volunteered Slavery”.

Does the 13th Amendment prohibit Voluntary Servitude?  Does The Best Textbook on Government prohibit Voluntary Servitude? 

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. Matthew 20:27

Does what Jesus says here make sense in this world?  Have I recruited anyone in this Class yet to volunteer for slavery?  The word “servant” in verse 27 is translated from the Greek word doulos whose seminal or seed meaning is slave!  a slave, involuntarily or voluntarily ! Concerning the nature of slavery, are we the victims of wicked training? 

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.  Matthew 23:11

Why are the greatest among Christians slaves?  Have we been deceived?  The English word “servant” is translated from the Greek word diakonos.  We know that word in English as deacon.  If a deacon is a servant of servants, who is their servant?Paul wrote to the Corinthians on behalf of himself and Timothy. 

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.  2 Corinthians 4:5

“Servants” translates the Greek word doulos meaning slaves.  If only voluntary servitude is lawful, then are all Christians volunteers?  Is it lawful to be Christian?  If some make it unlawful to be Christian would they breach our organic Contract of Government?  What Tyrant would enslave a law abiding Populace against their will and over their Objection?  Why would anyone, hate and persecute people who refuse to steal, and refuse to bear false witness against their neighbors?  Do some with foaming lips and dripping fangs hate Jesus Christ with a bloody, blue, purple Passion?  Since Christ is in His Resurrection Body of Power, what can they do to Him.  Do they persecute His slaves instead?

Remember the word that I said unto you,  The servant is not greater than his lord.  If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;  if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.   John 15:20

Shall we know them by their fruit?

How does any Slave know and understand he is a Slave?  Does he know and understand he is a Slave because he knows and understands his Slave master ? 

Is there anyone here who has ever been a Slave?  American Jurisprudence 2d Series is a multi-volume collection of court cases on major topics or subject matters.  On the subject matter, “Employer -- Employee Relations”  there is a court case declaring the Employer-Employee Relationship to be the continuation of the old Master -- Servant Relation- ship. Let us do this again:  Is there anyone here who has ever been a Slave? 

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.  1 Timothy 6:1

How well have I done?  How many of you have I recruited to be voluntary slaves?

Who is He that is a Christian’s Lord and Slave Master? 

Ye call me Master and Lord:   and ye say well; for so I Am.  John 13:13

Is the Lord Jesus Christ the only Righteous Slave Master to ever walk the earth?  Is Jesus Christ the Master worth serving?
