1.) PG here Patriot Gallery Resistance Chicks Mom, Submit only to God,  Resist the Devil and HE WILL FLEE! Rebellion to Rebellion is Obedience to God. I can no longer lie to please your ears. 

Jesus spoke this to me! Like in the Bible when God spoke to Paul! 


Friday,  March 28, 2025 ***"God created man and horses for man for transportation."*** Which men only have the right to do what God tells them to do. The way they were created, or you end up with all Americans being very ill, sick, and problem-laden. 


In all kinds of adversity. Because you are disobeying God. God created man with the intelligence to build storehouses. Barns are for himself and for his animals. A good place to store the food he grows for himself and his family. New background look for John Locke's book. The very anointed-by-God's-power book every Christian should read every day to heal America in the power of God. 

2.) #PresidentDonaldJTrump "Second Treatise of Government" book reading and review.....

Today's page we are on covers the subject of submission only by the consent of each sovereign person. With God in man through Jesus Christ, each man is divine in nature. A new creature born of God's Holy Spirit. The very nature of God has come inside his mortal body, changing his spirit into a son of God. ***Do not mess with a divine child of God.***

Tillers of the soil. 95 % of Men
in America ARE Farmers

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]......

3.) God's Kingdom on Earth, The Declaration of Independence copies this sentiment, Truth and Fact written by John Locke:  Page, 44, Chapter VIII, 8, ***Of Beginnings of Political Societies***......

Sect. 95. MEN being, as has been said, by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be put out of this estate, and subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent. The only way whereby any one divests himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by agreeing with other men to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure enjoyment of their properties, and a greater security against any,that are not of it.......


Tillers of the soil, 95% of Americans are farmers. They were just displaced for a short time. Jubilee God is returning men to their own family farms. America Isaiah 54. God is your husband; you are going to be bearing children of God. The sons of God in the unity of the Holy Spirit. The world is your field to harvest. Bring into God's storehouse the grains of salvation. Israel was married to God, but God divorced her for her adultery with other gods. Revelation 6:5-6 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 When He broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, Come and look! And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and in his hand the rider had a pair of scales (a balance)....{***Justice, just weights and balances, gold and silver coins. A day's wage of a denarius is a 1965 silver dime. Jesus spoke all of this to me!***} Take a silver dime and buy 3 flour sacks full. Which would be the Barley, Rev. 6-6. the Gentiles. Barley is a step down from Wheat Grain, Israel. But as new creatures, the gentiles become wheat grain.
6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A quart of wheat for a denarius [a whole day’s wages], and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the oil and the wine!

saiah 54

King James Version
54 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

DAY 45

PG here, Friday, March 28, 2025 Chapter VIII "Of Beginning Of Political Societies", Section 95 and 96, Page 44, Day 45...............Sect. 95. MEN being, as has been said, by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be put out of this estate, and subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent. The only way whereby any one divests himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by
agreeing with other men to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure enjoyment of their properties, and a greater security against any, that are not of it. This any number of men may do, because it injures not the freedom of the rest; they are left as they were in the liberty of the state of nature. When any number of men have so consented to make one community or government, they are thereby presently incorporated, and make one body politic, wherein the majority have a right to act and conclude the rest.

Sect. 96. For when any number of men have, by the consent of every individual, made a community, they have thereby made that community one body, with a power to act as one body, which is only by the will and determination of the majority: for that which acts any community, being only the consent of the individuals of it, and it being necessary to that which is one body to move one way; it is necessary the body should move that way whither the greater force carries it, which is the consent of the majority: or else it is impossible it should act or continue one body, one community, which the consent of every individual that united into it, agreed that it should; and so every one is bound by that consent to be
concluded by the majority. And therefore we see, that in assemblies, impowered to act by positive laws, where no number is set by that positive law which impowers them, the act of the majority passes for the act of the whole, and of course determines, as having, by the law of nature and reason, the power of the whole.
Sect. 97. And thus every man, by consenting with others to make one body politic under one government.1.) 
 

DAY 46

1.) PG here, March 29, 2025, Day 46 of 100 of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration," published anonymously in 1689. Chapter 8, Of "The Beginnings Of Political Societies," Section 98, 99, and 100, pages 45 and 46 In 1689 John Locke is writing about a Perfect Government. Ideal. In sect. 100 he says this is impossible. There has never been such a government known in history. America was born a more “perfect union” 1776. John is teaching that unity is impossible, yet we have the unanimous Declaration of Independence less than a year later from John Locke's teachings on government. { The "Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America," formally known as the Declaration of Independence, was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, declaring the thirteen British colonies as independent states, no longer subject to British rule. }


PG here 2.) Sect 99.. to unite into one political society, which is all the compact that is, or needs be, between the individuals, that enter into, or make up a commonwealth. And thus that, which begins and actually constitutes any political society, is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen capable of a majority to unite and incorporate into such a society. And this is that, and that only, which did, or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world. In section 98, John Locke mentions a play, CATO; the writer's plays are political: CATO Cato, a Tragedy is a play written by Joseph Addison in 1712 and first performed on 14 April 1713. It is based on the events of the last days of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (better known as Cato the Younger) (95–46 BC), a Stoic whose deeds, rhetoric and "resistance to the tyranny" of Julius Caesar made him an "icon of republicanism, virtue, and liberty." 

PG 3.) Addison's play deals with many themes such as individual liberty versus government tyranny, republicanism versus monarchism, logic versus emotion, and Cato's personal struggle to hold to his beliefs in the face of death. The play is explaining "the perfect reasons for government." Republics are resistance to dictators, tyranny, and domineering groups of men who rule without the consent of the people. John Locke is telling us without this perfect union, this play never opened, or as soon as it did, it shut down again because it had no effect on those watching. ***Cato's the play came to the stage then walked off stage, like it never happened.

PG 4.) Section 98......: but such a consent is next to impossible ever to be had, if we consider the infirmities of health, and avocations of business, which in a number, though much less than that of a commonwealth, will necessarily keep many away from the public assembly. To which if we add the variety of opinions, and contrariety of interests, which unavoidably happen in all collections of men, the coming into society upon such terms would be only like Cato's coming into the theatre, only to go out again. The Latin phrase was originally written "tantum et exiret." Only to go out again.

P.S. means “written after.” In the mid-1800s, John Locke was friends with William Penn and even got him out of jail in England. William Penn and the Quakers from the 1600s are the example John is writing from. He heard what they were doing and explained the governments they were forming. Political, civil and religious "Societies" he calls them.

***SECOND TREATISE OF GOVERNMENT
by JOHN LOCKE,*** Chapter 8, Section 101 and 102, Pages 46 and 47, Day 47 are on the topic "Of The Beginnings of Political Societies' origins, written history, Only the Israelites have a long, permanent, written history because God wrote it, inspiring men through his Holy Spirit coming upon them. Since Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, God places his spirit in us so he can directly speak through us.
DAY 47

PG here. March 30th, 2025 Sunday morning sermon. You are being watched and tested by "velociraptors," a group of men and women conspiring together, giving each other signals and code words, like from Jurassic Park. You are the prey; they are the hunters. Testing your strength to decide what weapons to use against you to take you down. God tests you to see how he can bless you.
Why say "Sea Food"? This morning I'm taking my morning vitamins. Chlorella (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) is a type of algae that grows in fresh water. Chlorella, a microalgae, offers numerous health benefits, including boosting the immune system, improving cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and acting as a potent antioxidant and detoxifier. It's also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.  


"I was thinking Sea Food". Why is it called seafood"? Because it comes from the sea. Edible Seaweeds: Common examples include nori (used in sushi), kelp, wakame, dulse, and arame. Do Not go along with everything you hear. Boys are boys, girls are girls, the Gulf of Mexico is the "gulf" to Mexico. "Do not be played the fool." They are looking to see how gullible, how weak you are. People do this to test your intelligence, your resolve to tell the truth, and your individual fortitude and internal strength. When you are "a kiss-up, a man pleaser," these people will lose all respect for you. You are weak people, pushovers, sheep led to the slaughter. Admit it is true. Call out to God through Jesus Christ's death as punishment for our sin. Ask your heavenly Father for his Holy Spirit of truth. The Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth. Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. You will no longer be prey to the strongest liars and deceivers, thieves, murderers, and corrupt members of society but be led by God himself.
DAY 48

1.) ....negligence, cruelty, or any other defect of mind or body made him unfit for it...for want of age, wisdom, courage, or any other qualities, less fit for rule....yet if they find him any way weak, or uncapable, they pass him by, and set up the stoutest and bravest man for their ruler. Immoral men are unfit to rule. Only men with the highest of moral character can be rulers. Not morally weak because of sin like greed. People you can trust to be internally strong and not give in to temptations such as lying, seduction, and bribery. Is there anyone in government today able to answer the call of God, a good man fit to be in leadership?


PG here, Monday, March 31, 2025. John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration," published in 1689, is the foundation of our republic. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This book is like God teaching us. God himself as a Father educating his children; leading and guiding men on how to set up a more perfect union. A society, a compact, an agreement, a community, a constitution by mutual consent for the protection of property; life, liberty, land, family, personal possessions, the labor of your two hands, the worship of God freely, etc., anointed by God.


PG here. 2.) God giving men true understanding on political civil societies, Chapter 8, Section 103, 104, and 105, Pages 47 and 48, Day 48. ***Of The Beginning Of Political Societies.*** In sections 101, 102, and 103, John Locke has given examples of men in history set up by consent societies, apart from Israel, which was set up by God. Salmanasser, Xerxes, Rome, Venice. Josephus Acosta tells about Peru, Florida the Cheriquanas, Brazil and other countries. Justin, 1 iii, c.4 Sparta with Palantus. Section 102: ..............by consent were all equal, till by the same consent they set rulers over themselves. So that their politic societies all began from a voluntary union, and the mutual agreement of men freely acting in the choice of their governors, and forms of government. section 103: ..................will be allowed to have been freemen independent one of another, and to have set up a government over themselves, by their own consent.

PG here, 3.) Section 104: ....men are naturally free, and the examples of history shewing, that the governments of the world, that were begun in peace, had their beginning laid on that foundation, and were made by the consent of the people; there can be little room for doubt, either where the right is, or what has been the opinion, or practice of mankind, about the first erecting of governments. Section 105:... (PG paraphrase: Governments started with the Father. A family so numerous it could sustain itself. An example is Israel and 12 sons. They could join together when an enemy attacked them........... The father had the best qualities for leadership but if not, throw this person off, even a father and replace the leadership. The Declaration of Independence did that.Qualifications and qualities of a good leader for society.

PG here, 4.) Section 105:...He was fittest to be trusted; paternal affection secured their property and interest under his care; and the custom of obeying him, in their childhood, made it easier to submit to him, rather than to any other. If therefore they must have one to rule them, as government is hardly to be avoided amongst men that live together, who is so likely to be the man as he that was their common father; unless negligence, cruelty, or any other defect of mind or body made him unfit for it? But when either the father died, and left his next heir, for want of age, wisdom, courage, or any other qualities, less fit for rule; or where several families met and consented to continue together; there, it is not to be doubted, but they used their natural freedom, to set up him, whom they judged the ablest, and most likely, to rule well over them.

PG here. 5.) Conformable hereunto we find the people of America, who (living out of the reach of the conquering swords, and spreading domination of the two great empires of Peru and Mexico) enjoyed their own natural freedom, though, caeteris paribus, {Ceteris paribus," a Latin phrase meaning "all other things being equal,"} they commonly prefer the heir of their deceased king; yet if they find him any way weak, or uncapable, they pass him by, and set up the stoutest and bravest man for their ruler.



Romans 13

13 1 He willeth that we submit ourselves to Magistrates: 8 To love our neighbor: 13 To love uprightly, 14 and to put on ChristLet every soul be subject unto the higher powers: for there is no power but of God: and the powers that be, are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receive to themselves condemnation. For Magistrates are not to be feared for good works, but for evil. Wilt thou then be without fear of the power? do well: so shalt thou have praise of the same. For he is the minister of God for thy wealth: but if thou do evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword for nought: for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must be subject, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake. For, for this cause ye pay also tribute: for they are God’s ministers, applying themselves for the same thing. Give to all men therefore their duty: tribute, to whom ye owe tribute: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honor, to whom ye owe honor. Owe nothing to any man, but to love one another: for he that loveth another, hath fulfilled the Law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

10 Love doeth not evil to his neighbor: therefore is love the fulfilling of the Law.

Book Reading PG here, Tuesday, April 1, 2025, Chapter 8, sections 106 and 107, pages 48 and 49, day 49. John Locke, "Second Treatise on Government with A Letter of Toleration" Of The Beginning of Political Societies. Sect. 106 is writing about someone like "Israel," Jacob Isaac's Son, son of Abraham. A Natural leader with 12 sons. Israel is a "Father" has children. The sons obeyed their father, who taught them and raised them with godly laws, rules, disciplines, and punishments. Even after men were full grown, married with their own families, and leaders of their own homes, Isaac, until he died, was the natural leader of their society.

By then this family had been put onto a larger society, Egypt. Pharaoh would be an absolute tyrant and enslave them all under the mighty hand of the taskmaster's whip.

God chose another leader to deliver them, Moses. Men need a government to protect them from foreign invaders. Sect. 107 talks about the simplicity of government when men are few and possessions and land are little. Tyrants grow out of multiples of men to enslave and a lot of land, gold, silver, and personal property to steal. Men become dominating, world conquerors using armies to invade others land and steal the property.

In the Declaration of Independence, we read to put up safeguards. Learning to put up safeguards from those who would internally encroach on the liberty of the people. ****John Locke writes about Political Happiness.

***But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.****

Part of Sect 107: copy and pasted here: To which, if we add, that monarchy being simple, and most obvious to men, whom neither experience had instructed in forms of government, nor the ambition or insolence of empire had taught to beware of the encroachments of prerogative, or the inconveniences of absolute power, which monarchy in succession was apt to lay claim to, and bring upon them, it was not at all strange, that they should not much trouble themselves to think of methods of restraining any exorbitances of those to whom they had given the authority over them, and of balancing the power of government, by placing several parts of it in different hands. They had neither felt the oppression of tyrannical dominion, nor did the fashion of the age, nor their possessions, or way of living, (which afforded little matter for covetousness or ambition) give them any reason to apprehend or provide against it; and therefore it is no wonder they put themselves into such a frame of government, as was not only, as I said, most obvious and simple, but also best suited to their present state and condition; which stood more in need of defence against foreign invasions and injuries, than of multiplicity of laws. The equality of a simple poor way of living, confining their desires within the narrow bounds of each man's small property, made few controversies, and so no need of many laws to decide them, or variety of officers to superintend the process, or look after the execution of justice, where there were but few trespasses, and few offenders. Since then those, who like one another so well as to join into society, cannot but be supposed to have some acquaintance and friendship together,

Kings, are Generals

PG here, Wednesday, April 2nd, Liberation Day, Chapter 8, Day 50, Pages 49 and 50, Section 107, 108, and 109. Book Reading: John Locke's ***"Second Treatise of Government With A Letter of Toleration,"*** published in 1689. english.hku.hk/staff/kjohnson/PDF/LockeJohnSECONDTREATISE1690.pdf Page 35/81.... Second to the Bible, this book is where the inspiration, principles, and actions to take; man's rights; and why we declared separation from the Church of England and the King of England. The king believed in divorce from his wife and the church. He was teaching the citizens they can divorce a government and their dictated monopoly on their religion and how to worship. Even though we all worship and love the only true God, we do it differently according to the dictates of our conscience. According to Martin Luther of the Reformation.


Chapter 8 is Leadership. 1.) Leadership must be first in Battle...................end of sect. 107 how to secure themselves against foreign force. It was natural for them to put themselves under a frame of government which might best serve to that end, and chuse the wisest and bravest man to conduct them in their wars, and lead them out against their enemies, and in this chiefly be their ruler. In sections 108 and 109, John Locke quotes the Bible and gives historical reference to men who were leaders called judges, then kings, but they were ***generals*** taking the armies forth into battle and back home from battle. Saul, the first king of Israel, slew his thousands, but David had slain tens of thousands; he would become the second king. ***Generals of armies protecting personal property, land, and possessions from foreigner attacks.*** 1 Samual 18: 5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. 6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?

***A Letter Concerning Toleration,*** Author John Locke.

http://fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter Concerning Toleratin PDF.pdf

Extra Addition to John Locke's Second Treatise of Civil Government. The second half of the book is A Letter Concerning Toleration. The first book on government is founded on this letter. Real, true Christianity is biblical. It is not today's Christianity.

I will only mind those that contend so
earnestly for the decrees of their own society,
and that cry out continually, 

They cry, The Church, The Church! 

It is not made up of arbitrary rules, laws, and doctrines—false teachings of mere men because evil men are counterfeiting money.

The Bible does not give the church the right to persecute others.

I.E., fire, sword, and compulsory punishments if they join their faith and live by their doctrines.......The end of a religious society (as has already been said) is the public worship of God and, by means thereof, the acquisition of eternal life...... The church cannot get people to give what they have to them. .........Nothing ought nor can be transacted in this society relating to the possession of civil and worldly goods.... ..... That punishment is for the magistrate..... For force belongs wholly to the civil magistrate, and the possession of all outward goods is subject to his jurisdiction.........

Men join civil or political government for the protection of their possessions and property.


Arms or weapons of the church are......The arms by which the members of this society are to be kept within their duty are exhortations, admonitions, and advices. If by these means the offenders will not be reclaimed and the erroneous convinced, there remains nothing further to be done but that such stubborn and obstinate persons, who give no ground to hope for their reformation, should be cast out and separated from society.








DAY 20 PAGE 10b OF 40

Sunday, March 23, 2025, Good morning, PG Here. "A Letter Concerning Toleration," by John Locke, 1689. This is the explanation of our first Amendment rights to freedom of religion. Free to worship where and how you choose. Not freedom of any religion. The religion (a set of beliefs, idealogy) must be in the bounds of a Christian society under God within the Kingdom of God on earth. According to the Declaration of Independence, all men must acknowledge Almighty God as our creator and men's rights that come from God through Jesus Christ. Everything in the world comes from ***God,*** our creator. Government is a work of the Holy Spirit of God. It is a ministry, being a servant of the people, a calling. You must be called by God in the ministry of the work of operations, administration, facilitation, settling disputes between people, executing justice, making laws and punishments that are from God that are fair and just, equally applied to all men, etc. Punishment must convict men of their sins and crimes. Put convicted by the Holy Spirit criminals away from others so they do not harm anyone else. This isolation from society will have them think about the wrong they did and how it harmed others. Knowing they are not coming out of punishment until they know what they did was wrong, show real, true remorse. Prove to have become a man of his word, then swear to never harm someone else. Repenting, turning men away from a life of crime to God, is what criminal punishment is for. ..Laws, rules, and administrations: The word ministry is in administrations that are based on men's free rights according to nature. If they were free on a mountain, no one else would be around them. According to the laws their Creator has put in place to feed and clothe them and to go forth to populate the earth, providing for their offspring as men and wives for life. ..The people in the government are a part of the church. The office of administration and operations comes out of men's hearts that worship God freely in the congregation,{an assembly of citizens, the ecclesia, the separated ones, the church,} at home with their families, every day work, and calling. It comes out of their love of God, worship of God, and faithfully following his commandments to preach the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Propagation of; The earlier fathers called ***the furtherance of the Kingdom of God*** on this earth. Jesus being our King, and we are in his kingdom. Revelation 21: The New Jersusalem. The seat of God on earth. It is within us. John Locke has been distinguishing between the government and its rights to punish men and actually take their property from them if they receive it illegally. Also as a punishment for harm to others. The church does not have compulsory power like the government or magistrate. The worst punishment is excommunicating a person. No one will talk to the person any more, nor can he worship God with them. John Locke; "For all force (as has often been said) belongs only to the magistrate, nor ought any private persons at any time to use force, unless it be in self-defence against unjust violence." Luke 17:21 1599 Geneva Bible Jesus is speaking: 21 Neither shall men say, Lo here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 12:28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Colossians 1:13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, 1 Corinthians 4:20 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 20 For the kingdom of God consists of and is based on not talk but power (moral power and excellence of soul).

Excommunication is stopping a person from worshipping and taking the Lord's Supper, communion with the particular group of people. Outside this society, this person cannot be harmed in life, liberty, property, or even in service. Those matters of punishment are the purpose of political or civil government, which the magistrate is to attend to. Knowing this person has done you no harm. He is in error in his salvation; he will suffer every day; he will be miserable in this life and in the afterlife for eternity.

March 25, 2025, 11b of 40 pages, according to pdf Day 22, ...the mutual toleration of private persons differing from one another in religion.... No one has jurisdiction over another person of a different religion. .................no, not even when the civil magistrate (as it sometimes happens) comes to be of this or the other communion. For the civil government can give no new right to the church, nor the church to the civil government. What I say concerning the mutual toleration of private persons differing from one another in religion, I understand also of particular churches which stand, as it were, in the same relation to each other as private persons among themselves: nor has any one of them any manner of jurisdiction over any other; no, not even when the civil magistrate (as it sometimes happens) comes to be of this or the other communion. For the civil government can give no new right to the church, nor the church to the civil government. So that, whether the magistrate join himself to any church, or separate from it, the church remains always as it was before—a free and voluntary society. It neither requires the power of the sword by the magistrate’s coming to it, nor does it lose the right of instruction and excommunication by his going from it. This is the fundamental and immutable right of a spontaneous society—that it has power to remove any of its members who transgress the rules of its institution; but it cannot, by the accession of any new members, acquire any right of jurisdiction over those that are not joined with it. And therefore peace, equity, and friendship are always mutually to be observed by particular churches, in the same manner as by private persons, without any pretence of superiority or jurisdiction over one another. 

DAY 23

PG here: Excerpt from page 5b, of 40 according to the PDF. Day 8, Monday, March 10th, 2025

It is a reminder of what we are learning, our true freedoms, and what we are fighting for. A society free from wickedness, filthiness, dirty-minded people, and slothfulness. We turn from and fight to be a good, honest society. More importantly, wholesome for the common good, happiness, fairness, justice, and equality of all men. Which comes from Almighty God to those who have turned from a life of crime, sin, licentiousness, dirty-mindedness, and lying. Men who have turned to God to be cleansed from all dirtiness of mind, soul, and body, all corruption, and defilement of the flesh.


These good, clean, pure people join and unite in society to love one another, for it is our Christian moral right, duty, and responsibility to worship God freely and protect ***The commonwealth seems to me to be a society of men constituted only for the procuring, preserving, and advancing of their own civil interests. Civil interests I call life, liberty, health, and indolency of body; and the possession of outward things, such as money, lands, houses, furniture, and the like.***

#1 Extra Addition John Locke's Government Treatise: A Letter Concerning Toleration

https://isaiah58ministries.blogspot.com/2025/03/extra-addition-tjohn-lockes-government.html

Today's reading will take today and tomorrow to write about. It is about supposing, as an example, happenings in two churches in the 1600s. In Constantinople and who has the rights and responsibilities in the church.

Today's reading is 12b of 40......excerpt: the one of Arminians, the other of Calvinists—residing in the city of Constantinople. Will anyone say that either of these churches has right to deprive the members of the other of their estates and liberty (as we see practised elsewhere) because of their differing from it in some some doctrines and ceremonies, .................. fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter%20Concerning%20Toleratin%20PDF.pdf

DAY 24

The church should not persecute other churches in Christ's kingdom on this earth. And civil government can not give that power that it does not have to a church the person in charge favors. PG here, Thursday, March 27, 2025, Day Page 12b of 40 according to pdf. Add to yesterday's post on two churches as an example.
....12b: So that the controversy between these churches about the truth of their doctrines and the purity of their worship is on both sides equal; nor is there any judge, either at Constantinople or elsewhere upon earth, by whose sentence it can be
determined. The decision on that question belongs only to the Supreme Judge of all men, to whom also alone belongs the punishment of the erroneous. In the meantime, let those men consider how heinously they sin, who, adding injustice, if not to their error, yet certainly to their pride, do rashly and arrogantly take upon them to misuse the servants of another master, who are not at all accountable to them.............
{commentary: The civil government and heathens have no authority over a church, nor does one church have any authority over another. }
paragraph 2...................An infidel, who has himself no authority to punish Christians for the articles of their faith, cannot confer such an authority upon any society of Christians, nor give unto them a right which he has not himself. This would be the case at Constantinople; and the reason of the thing is the same in any Christian kingdom. The civil power is the same in every place. Nor can that power, in the hands of a Christian prince, confer
any greater authority upon the Church than in the hands of a heathen;which is to say, just none at all.

Pages based on pdf DAY 25 fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Ph Concerning Toleratin PDF.pdf
Nevertheless, it is worthy to be observed and lamented that the most violent of these defenders of the truth, the opposers of errors, the exclaimers against schism do hardly ever let loose this their zeal for God, with which they are so warmed and inflamed, unless where they have the civil magistrate on their side. But so soon as ever court favour has giventhem the better end of the staff, and they begin to feel themselves the stronger, then presently peace and charity are to be laid aside. Otherwise they are religiously to be observed. Where they have not the power to carry on persecution and to become masters, there they desire to live upon fair terms and preach up toleration. When they are not strengthened with the civil power, then they can bear most patiently and unmovedly the contagion of idolatry, superstition, and heresy in their neighbourhood; of which on other occasions the interest of religion makes them to be extremely apprehensive. They do not forwardly attack those errors which are in fashion at court or are countenanced by the government. Here they can be content to spare their arguments; which yet (with their leave) is the only right method of propagating truth, which has no such way of prevailing as when strong arguments and good reason are joined with the softness of civility and good usage.

Nobody, therefore, in fine, neither single persons nor churches, nay, nor even commonwealths, have any just title to invade the civil rights and worldly goods of each other upon pretence of religion. Those that are of another opinion would do well to consider with themselves how pernicious a seed of discord and war, how powerful a provocation to endless hatreds, rapines, and slaughters they thereby furnish unto mankind. No peace and security, no, not so much as common friendship, can ever be established or preserved amongst men so long as this opinion prevails, that dominion is founded in grace and that religion is to be propagated by force of arms.

Day 28

PG here Extra addition to john Locke A Letter Concerning Toleration. Page numbers according to the PDF. Today is page 15a of 40 pages according to the PDF. Pretty self-explanatory. John is writing about how, through Jesus Christ, men should have religious toleration for their fellow Christians. People who called themselves Christian would get all fired up and start riots. They would create a group of vigilantes and burn people at the stake. John Locke is writing that it is up to the government or magistrate to make laws and punish men. It isn't the church's responsibility. The church cannot say they are burning someone at the stake or drowning them to try to save their souls. When it comes to a person's salvation as well as his estate and his personal health, it is up to the person. It is neither the affair of the church nor the magistrate to get someone to take good care of their property or their health. Only God can take good care of a person's eternal soul.
 

PG here Wednesday April 2nd, Extra Addition, John Locke "A Letter Concerning Toleration," Page 15b according to the pdf fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter%20Concerning%20Toleratin%20PDF.pdf God does force a person to salvation. John is talking about extra force or pressure on people from the Church of England. Zealots for the Faith. Every person must be led by the voice of God. By the Holy Spirit. No one else can decide how a man may get wealthy or demand all men go to Roman doctors or doctors in Geneva following a certain prescription to be healed. Buskins are laced-up boot; victualler sold liquor or victuals, food or provisions.
15b  Nay, God Himself will not save men against their wills. Let us suppose, however, that some prince were desirous to force his subjects to accumulate riches, or to preserve the health and strength of their bodies. Shall it be provided by law that they must consult none but Roman physicians, and shall everyone be bound to live according to their prescriptions? What, shall no potion, no broth, be taken, but what is prepared either in the Vatican, suppose, or in a Geneva shop? Or, to make these subjects rich, shall they all be obliged by law to become merchants or musicians? 

BUSKINS ARE LACED UP BOOTS

Or, shall everyone turn victualler, or smith, because there are some that maintain their families plentifully and grow rich in those professions? But, it may be said, there are a thousand ways to wealth, but one only way to heaven. It is well said, indeed, especially by those that plead for compelling men into this or the other way. 



For if there were several ways that led thither, there would not be so much as a pretence left for compulsion. But now, if I be marching on with my utmost vigour in that way which, according to the sacred geography, leads straight to Jerusalem, why am I beaten and ill-used by others because, perhaps, I wear not buskins; because my hair is not of the right cut; because, perhaps, I have not been dipped in the right fashion; because I eat flesh upon the road, or some other food which agrees with my
stomach;
