RE: Forget the Government, You Are Your Own Worst Enemy... and How To Overthrow Yourself
Slavery to God is true freedom.
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matt. 6:24
Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
Matt. 16:24
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Matt. 6:31-33
I understand where you are coming from, but I do not interpret these lines like you do. (Besides King James trying to give more power to the king)
God gave you free will. Becoming a slave to god is throwing that gift back in his face.
God created the universe to provide for all of your needs. It is why the sun blasts energy at us every day. It is why the plants grow.
Lack of, doing without, are human traits. They are human doings. By man being afraid and trying to control his food supply he diminishes it for himself and others.
So, you are learning to trust in god's grace. And learning to co-create your future with god. There is no slavery. In fact, acting as a slave you stop doing the important part of why you exist. To live life; to experience the universe .
For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him
Matt. 6:24
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
Matt 4:4
You can interpret the Bible however you like. That's what led to the 30,000 "Christian" denominations in the US alone.
