DWP should scrap existing Universal Credit IT, say MPs
Department for Work and Pensions should consider scrapping its existing IT for Universal Credit and focus solely on the new digital solution, say MPs
Bryan Glick
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) should consider scrapping its existing IT systems for Universal Credit and focus solely on the new digital solution that will support the welfare programme when it goes live, say MPs.
In a report today from the Work and Pensions Select Committee, the DWP has again come under fire for its approach to the IT development for the controversial benefits scheme.
MPs on the committee said there is still "worrying uncertainty" about the Universal Credit IT systems, and called for DWP to provide more information about "how it will work, how much it will cost, and who will develop it".
The report criticised DWP officials for wasting £40m by scrapping IT work already completed, and for a further £90m that will be written off before the system goes live in 2017.
The department has adopted a "twin-track" approach to IT, whereby the existing system is being used for pilot projects and still being further enhanced, while separately an "end-state" solution is being developed that will support full roll-out.
The committee said that because so few people are currently using the existing system, it may be better value for money to scrap it entirely and focus solely on the end-state system.

"Only 4,280 people were claiming Universal Credit (UC) by December 2013 and the majority of these claims were of the simplest nature. While it is right to ensure that the system works properly before extending it, there is a difference between cautious progress and a snail's pace. Given the excruciatingly slow pace of roll-out to date, it is hard to see how the most recent implementation timetable can be met," said committee chair Dame Anne Begg.
"Given the small number of people currently claiming UC, the government should consider whether it would be a better use of taxpayers' money to abandon further development of the existing system and focus solely on the end-state solution.
"Despite the millions being spent on the end-state IT solution, it is still not clear when the system will be ready or even how it will work. It is still not ready for testing on the first 100 claimants, and we have no indication of when it will be possible to test it on a bigger and more representative group of claimants."
The fate of the existing systems used for the Pathfinder pilot projects has been the subject of controversy before. IT experts from the Government Digital Service (GDS) recommended last year that DWP scrap the existing system and start from scratch on the digital solution, but secretary of state for work and pensions Iain Duncan Smith preferred to adopt the "twin-track" approach to avoid the political fall-out of scrapping all the IT developed to that time.
As a result, GDS effectively withdrew from further day-to-day involvement with Universal Credit, leaving DWP needing to rapidly recruit 50 digital developers to work on the end-state project.
The committee called on DWP to provide more details about the costs for the digital system, and about the timecales for key milestones such as a planned trial with 100 benefit claimants, as well as when full implementation can be expected.
DWP permanent secretary Robert Devereux told a meeting of the work and pensions committee in February that "we are still many months away from having a system that can do 100 people."
The DWP continues to state that the Universal Credit IT is going according to plan.
"Universal Credit and its IT systems are very clearly working well, with claimants receiving the new benefit and moving into work," said the DWP in a statement.
"We deliberately started in a slow, controlled and safe way, which the committee itself has long recommended, so we can expand Universal Credit securely to more people. Universal Credit is on track and we will start expanding it to other Jobcentres from this summer."

Soldiers and Airmen train on a regular basis to defend themselves and their units from an enemy assault. Positions can be fortified or concealed, vehicles can be up-armored, and roving patrols can scour the perimeter for enemy activity.
Sexual assault, however, exploits vulnerabilities that exist despite heightened awareness and vigilant attempts to protect against it. In those moments when defenses fall short, a victim advocate is a valuable resource.
The Wisconsin National Guard's victim advocacy program supports a broad spectrum of incidents affecting its Soldiers and Airmen. According to Amber Garfoot, a support member with the Wisconsin National Guard's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program, such incidents can occur when service members are on duty, off duty or even outside of anything related to National Guard service.
The nature of the incident does impact the scope of service we are able to provide as an organization," Garfoot said, "but from an advocacy service standpoint, we open our doors to all of our service members regardless of how or when their crime occurred.
The Wisconsin National Guard's victim advocates are trained to offer victims of sexual violence information and help finding resources, emotional support, and help filling out paperwork. Sometimes advocates accompany victims to court, court martial hearings or other appearances. Victim advocates may also contact criminal justice, medical or social service agencies to obtain help or assistance for victims.
Garfoot said Wisconsin National Guard victim advocates provide service members with updates on their cases and work to solve problems as they arise. But she cautioned that victim advocates do not provide legal support or advice, and they are not counselors.
She explained that advocates do not tell victims what they should do, but provide information about different options available and encourage the victim to maintain control over their decisions and recovery process.
Victim advocates must pass an in-depth background check and suitability check, complete an 80-hour advocacy training course and 32 hours of continuing education every 24 months to maintain National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) credentials. NOVA credentialing is required to work with sexual assault survivors.
Garfoot said the advocate's immediate responsibility once contacted by a victim is to address imminent health and safety needs.
"Each survivor's story is unique, which ultimately determines the course of action or services that the advocate will provide," Garfoot said. The reporting option the survivor chooses helps determine a course of action.
Soldiers and Airmen can file restricted or unrestricted reports. The restricted report maintains victim confidentiality, but law enforcement is not notified and no investigation is initiated. However, the victim is provided access to counseling, mental and physical health support as needed. Unrestricted reports are referred to local law enforcement or the Wisconsin Department of Justice for investigation and potential prosecution. If the alleged assailant is a Wisconsin National Guard member, the Guard can take disciplinary or administrative action based on the outcome of the law enforcement investigation. The Wisconsin National Guard can conduct an administrative investigation, and pursue other disciplinary actions, if warranted, in the event that local law enforcement unsubstantiates or chooses not to prosecute a sexual assault allegation.
The Wisconsin National Guard currently has three full-time sexual assault response coordinators and one victim advocate coordinator. All full-time staff have advocate credentialing and experience. The Wisconsin National Guard also has nearly 50 more people, who serve part or full-time in the Guard, for whom victim advocacy is an additional duty. However, those additional advocates can be placed on orders quickly to assist a sexual assault survivor.
Measuring the effectiveness of a sexual assault victim advocacy program can be difficult and controversial, but Garfoot said she considers the number of people who utilize the service and their comfortability in reporting a sexual assault.

Q: Can WCF Service Return Zip stream? I had to store some very big strings in an XML file. Now I wanted to compress the strings using a GZipStream and then decompress them later at client side.
Can WCF Service Method return zip stream as return type?
There is my service method:
public Stream ZipResponse()
{
    byte[] byteArray = null;
    GZipStream compressionStream = null;
    try
    {
        var var_details = "XML String Here";
        byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(var_details);
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);
        compressionStream = new GZipStream(stream, CompressionMode.Compress, true);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    { }
    return compressionStream;
}

Now when i call ZipResponse() method from client side it throws:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.  This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

A: Yes, a WCF service method can return a Stream to the client.
You should make sure that your transfer mode is set to "streamed"; apart from that, it should be straightforward.
You can get some further info here: WCF Streaming Tutorial

A: Yes, look this acrticle about 7Zip(LZMA) WCF message compression http://geekswithblogs.net/argot/archive/2009/10/27/wcf-message-compression---gzip-7zip.aspx

Q: How do I insert an post_id into a mysql database I have a comment system that should input an id, an idea_id, a user_id, a comment, the data, and the time.  Everything seems to work except every time I post a comment the idea_id is always 0.  By the way an idea is basically a post.
I did this using:
<?php
    if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

        $comment = $_POST['comment'];
        $user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
        $idea_id = $_POST['idea_id'];

        if(empty($comment)) {
            $message = "You Haven't Written Anything";
    } else {
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments (idea_id, user_id, comment, date, time) VALUES('".$idea_id."', '".$user_id."', '".$comment."', now(), now()) ") or die (mysql_error());
        $message = "OK! Thanks for leaving your comment!";
        if(isset($_GET['user_id'])) {
    $_SESSION['user_id'] = $_GET['user_id'];
    }

    }

        echo "
$message
";
    }
    ?>

<form method = 'Post'  name = 'comment_form'>

    Comment:

    <input type = 'text' name = 'comment' id = 'comment' autocomplete= 'off' />
    <input type = 'hidden' name = 'idea_id' value = '<?php echo $idea_id; ?>' />
    <input type = 'submit' name = 'submit' value = 'Comment' />
</form>

A: you should define the $idea_id in your form and then pass it to your form
 $idea_id = "your_idea_id";
 <input type = 'hidden' name = 'idea_id' value = '<?php echo $idea_id;?>' />

if you wanna see if it works , just try with any number like that
  <input type = 'hidden' name = 'idea_id' value = '66' />

A: It doesn't seem like you're keeping a running count of how many ideas are going through your form.
I would suggest you allow the database to manage the idea_id for you and it be a primary key.
How would your application handle duplicate idea_ids?

A: The value for the hidden input should be inside php tags:
<input type = 'hidden' name = 'idea_id' value = '<?php echo $idea_id;?>' />

This way the query won't see the idea_id as a string.
Also as stated by echo_Me you should define the variable somewhere.

The Pirtle Elementary gymnasium, or "The Barn" as it is affectionately know as to the students, is the proving grounds for the introduction of the physical education's program "Inline Skating 101" for the school's third, fourth and fifth graders.
Inline skating is a sport practiced widely internationally. Inline skates typically have 2 to 5 polyurethane wheels, arranged in a single line, although 5 wheel designs are no longer manufactured. The in-line design allows for greater speed than roller skates and better maneuverability.
The in-line wheels are coupled with boots designed for skating over and around various obstacles. Inline-skating is practiced and performed using inline skates designed for race tracks, skate parks, urban areas off-road.
There are many disciplines of inline skating, such as Vert skating (skating inline on a ramp), aggressive inline, freestyle skating, inline hockey, speed skating, roller soccer and off-road skating.
To take part in any of those events, students need to learn the basics. That is where the teachings of Nancy Whiteaker come in.
Whiteaker, Pirtle's physical education coordinator, has been in the physical education field for 20 years.
With the teaching of physical education basics, Whiteaker keeps her students active. She not only instructs on the inline skating and safety, she also teaches warm-ups, fitness activities, health, safety and recreational activities.
The students enjoyed the interaction with Whiteaker and followed her safety instructions.
In Physical Education, students acquire the knowledge and skills for movement that provide the foundation for enjoyment, continued social development through physical activity, and access to a physically active lifestyle.

Pro-Ject 2-Xperience 2-Pack review | What Hi-Fi?
It's surprising what a slab of clear acrylic and a dash of carbon fibre can do. Take the 2-Xperience 2-Pack – it looks flashy and exciting straight out of the box (at least once you've put all the various pieces together).
We've already had some, er, experience of the Xperience in previous years, but never this combination of tonearm and cartridge. Pro-Ject's striking 9cc Evolution arm features a conical, carbon fibre tube fitted with Ortofon's 2M Blue moving-magnet cartridge.
Instead of sitting underneath the platter, the motor is decoupled and sits suspended to help ward off the effects of unwanted vibrations. In a similar vein, each of the three feet has a Sorbothane inlay to give more pliant isolation for the deck.
Assembly includes positioning and ensuring the drive belt sits level along the middle of the platter – you will also notice the absence of any switch to change speed. This requires a spot of manual labour – moving the belt from one motor pulley to the next, depending on the required speed.
It isn't as convenient as being able to flick a switch, but vinyl junkies will love the chance to get hands-on.
The Pro-Ject is the only model here to come with its own record weight – the hefty disc-like device screws onto the spindle and sandwiches the record between itself and the vinyl-topped MDF platter. Pro-Ject claims this gives the 'perfect playback platform'.
Experiment for yourself and see if you can hear a difference. In our opinion, having the weight in place allows music to sound a touch clearer and more solid. And in general, these are areas where the 2-Xperience 2-Pack scores highly.
Playing Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal there's a real sense of solidity to the pounding heartbeat at the beginning of the track. It's soon substituted for the track's bruising bassline and snappy percussion hits. It's an exciting sound for sure.
The only area where we'd ask for more is when it comes down to uncovering the subtle nuances of the track. Sometimes, more delicate moments feel as though they're being washed over and ever so slightly steamrollered by the Pro-Ject.
Timing suffers, and the turntable doesn't communicate as fluently and deliver the same dose of sonic charm as its closest rivals.
Still, this is a very fine effort, from a fine-looking deck.

"Okay, Lopes," Captain Morales bellowed through the bullhorn, "I'm sending in six military personnel and a medical scientist from the CDC named Dr. John Henry. I promise that we won't hurt you if you don't put up a fight."
"Sergeant Frey, pick five men to go with you," Captain Morales ordered. "John Henry, as you are a civilized man of letters, I want you to take point on this mission. You need to try to calmly persuade this individual to surrender without further incident."
John Henry turned to address Sergeant Frey and the other soldiers who were about to follow him into the breach. "Listen to me, men; if things go south and I'm taken down, fire at will."
"You have my word, Doc," Sergeant Frey promised. "We'll have you covered."

The men, armed with powerful flashlights, systematically swept through the house. The remains of Cappy and Jo Lopes were found in the kitchen. It was clear they were victims of predation. Dr. John Henry looked over his shoulder to again address the six military personnel who accompanied him. "Good God in heaven, I hope this guy doesn't go down swinging…"
Just then, the voice of Romero Lopes called out from a bedroom down the hallway. "Help! I'm in the back room!" The soldiers reached the closed bedroom door where Romero Lopes was calling for help. "Come in, boys. I have been waiting for you. What took you so long to get here?"
As Dr. John Henry was point on the probe, he cautiously opened the bedroom door and walked into the room first. "Romero Lopes, I'm an epidemiologist and infectious disease specialist from the CDC. My name is—"
Dr. John Henry never completed the sentence. His body was still standing upright when his severed head bounced across the floor. The maniacal voice of Romero Lopes called out, "Is anybody up for a game of soccer? Well, our Mexican friends call it fútbol!"
Romero kicked Dr. Henry's lifeless head with such force that it lodged into the Sheetrock of the bedroom wall. As if he were a play-by-play television sports announcer who was reporting on a Mexican League soccer match on the Telemundo network, Romero raised both of his arms toward the ceiling and cried out, "Goooooal! Goal, goal, goal, goal, goooooal!"
"Fall back! Covering fire!" Sergeant Frey ordered. His five remaining compatriots leveled the barrels of their M16 automatic weapons in the direction of the vampiro and began to hose down the interior of the farmhouse with a deadly shower of lead. The brave men, in great haste, retreated to escape the menacing, bloodthirsty ghoul. However, trying to shoot Romero Lopes was an act of futility, akin to trying to put a bullet into a moth that was fluttering about the room. The vampiro was just that fast, and his gyrations were just that erratic!
Once Sergeant Frey and his commandos exited the farmhouse through the gaping hole in the living room wall and retreated to safety, Captain Morales gave the order, "Fire at will! Fire away now, goddamnit. Fire away!"
While keeping his head down, Dr. Blanks crawled up to Sergeant Frey and asked, "What in the hell happened in there? Where's Dr. Henry?"
Sergeant Frey started to scream. "Lopes ain't human! Do you hear me? He's in there right now playing volleyball with the head of John Henry! I'm sorry, Doc, but your friend didn't make it!"
In a five-second debriefing, Captain Morales was informed that the bodies of two elderly decaying people were seen in the kitchen, presumably the corpses of Romero Lopes's parents. No other living beings were seen in the farmhouse besides the vampiro. Captain Morales got back on the bullhorn and instructed, "Nothing gets out of there alive!"
As the Lopes family farmhouse began to disintegrate, Captain Morales issued a radio communication to the circling Cobra assault chopper. "Cut loose with the snakes! Expend all of your ordnance on that farmhouse. Am I clear?"
In accordance to the original tactical plan of Captain Morales, the Lopes family farmhouse was burned to the ground. By the time that the home was reduced to red glowing cinders, the vampiro must have been long dead, right? Move along, folks. There's nothing to see here, so just move along …

The DNR Trilogy
Don W. Hill M.D.
Don W. Hill M.D. & Tom Cavaretta
When the most recent outbreak of human vampirism occurred in the narrow oasis of New Mexico's lower Rio Grande Valley, the terrifying oral tradition that had been passed on for more than four centuries had yet again been sadly reconfirmed. Every two decades or so, one or more bloodthirsty ghouls would appear that would prey upon the unsuspecting and completely vulnerable members of New Mexico's small but harmonious and tightly knit community that had long been an admixture of First American, Hispanic, and Anglo residents.
As a young curandera, Lorena Pastore was only twenty-five years old when the last outbreak occurred, and she remembered the devastation and shocking horror that had rapidly spread throughout her beloved community at that time. She had erroneously predicted that she would be well into her middle years of life when the next outbreak would be anticipated to once again rear its ugly head. Sadly, that was not to be the case. For some inexplicable reason, after only a brief remission of a little more than a seven-year hiatus, the malignant disease of human vampirism had been reincarnated. This time, the vampiro outbreak was destined to appear on Lorena Pastore's very own doorstep.
A native of Houston, Donald W. Hill, MD, FACP, graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, in 1978. After completing his medical school training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in 1982, Dr. Hill did his postgraduate training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 1987. At the time he cowrote this novel, Dr. Hill had completed over thirty years of medical practice that included working in multispecialty clinics, solo practice, and everything in between, including academia and clinical research. A fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Hill is a published scholar, but Vampiro is only his second attempt at serial fiction after completing his groundbreaking masterpiece, The DNR Trilogy. Although he's now back on the mainland, Dr. Hill was living and working in Hawaii when he cowrote this novel.
Dr. Hill has openly professed that he does not personally enjoy the genre of science fiction and, to be more specific, the subgenre of vampirism. During the time that this work of fiction was cowritten, the author often stated to anybody willing to listen that the possible existence of bloodthirsty ghouls was quite a disturbing concept. If there's such a thing as a vampiro that's indeed roaming some remote corner in the desert of the great American Southwest, Dr. Hill truly doesn't want to be privy to such a horrifying reality. Nonetheless, he accepted the challenge from Thomas Cavaretta to be a coauthor (as well as a coconspirator) to collaborate on this project. It was Dr. Hill's specific task to conjure up a plausible medical and scientific explanation for human vampirism form the perspective of a practicing hematologist/oncologist.
If Dr. Hill was indeed successful in this endeavor, the reader will be the final arbiter to opine if this lofty goal was achieved. In the meantime, turn on the night light and make sure all the doors and windows are locked shut.

Clay and stone
(Redirected from Clay and Stone)
Are the Altars of Clay and Stone an allegory describing a social structure through freewill sacrifice to bind society through the practice of faith, hope and charity according to the perfect law of liberty?
Christ tells us to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness which should be fom generation to generation.
His righteousness cannot come through imitating metaphors and allegories.
The Church in the wilderness and early Church were the ekklesia or called out of God for religious purposes.
But religion was the performance of a duty to God and your fellow man.
Pure religion was the performance of that duty through charity and freewill offerings unspotted by the use of force.
Is a gathering of stones an altar of God?
Are the stones of the altars actually men?
Has sophistry led us under a strong delusion?
* What does it mean to be of the world?
* What does it mean not to be spotted by the world?
* Are the ministers of the Church to be a benefactors of the people?
* What is the perfect law of liberty?
* The Church in the wilderness and the early Church provided the same purpose in society.
How far has the sophistry of Modern Christians taken us away from The Way of Christ and Moses?
If the sacrifice of the Altars of Clay and Stone through faith, hope and charity were about freely binding society through mutual care and love what was the sacrifice of the Red Heifer?
And what was the golden calf story really about?
And why are you not seeking to gather with others in a similar living network of altars of clay and stone?
From the book Thy Kingdom Comes
Moses and the Altars of Clay and Stone
The Mizbeach or altars are said to be of two types.
"An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee." Exodus 20:24
Moses made an altar of earth. He was told to do so. He was not told to use just any type of earth but particularly the "red clay".1 God had made Adam from this "red clay". Was the altar made of dirt or was this another metaphor? Was the altar made of a certain kind of clay, or was it made of a special kind of man?
This altar was used to convey the sacrifices of the people. The chief characteristic of sacrifice is not so much that something is destroyed by fire, but rather that it is lost to the grantor. The grantor must be willing to truly concede the, "surrender of something for the sake of something else… something given up or lost".
Such giving was essential in a free society where no government collected funds through taxation for redistributing wealth. Society needed a way of taking care of community needs. Such voluntary assistance is an extension of what should already be a part of the family, but in Israel, it became a part of the congregational community on a national level. Nothing is more benevolent than the parent's sacrifice for their children and the children's for their parents. The same may apply to nations with networking intimate charitable congregations.
The burnt offering is dedicated, or hallowed, upon the living altar of each family by the grantors. Like bread upon the waters, or tribute to the kings, it is lost to the grantor. If you have anything more than an intangible hope and faith to insure its return, then it is not entirely given and pure charity is not truly exercised.
In the City-State, there is a contribution for the good of the populous and the general welfare of the corpus of the State. The difference between those statutory contributions and those offerings set on Abraham's and Moses' altars was the former is extracted by authority upon entering the jurisdiction of the State as a member; and the latter was a freewill offering with personal daily choice in liberty. The State guarantees social security within its walled boundaries of authority in the form of entitlements, while God's altars offer only hope and faith.
Abraham and the people who exercised the free will choice to support one another formed an altar of earth and brotherhood. As he spread his tent, his tabernacle, the way of liberty became strong in the land. When kings like Chedorlaomer devoured one City-State after another, it was Abram and those who believed in the law of liberty and choice who were the saviors of that day. This prophetic principle may still hold true in our own time.
There was another altar mentioned by God, but not with the terms "thou shalt", but with the terms "if thou wilt make". This altar was different and carried specific restrictions.
"And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon." Exodus 20:25-26
This altar was made of stone not hewn by the hands of men, not touched by tools of iron or power. You are also warned not to make the altar tiered where you go up to its higher places by steps or degrees. If you do so, you will reveal a nakedness or lack of the covering or authority.
The Hebrew word rigmah [hmgr] is translated into "council", but actually means literally "a gathering of stones". It is from the Hebrew word Regem [Mgr], which is translated "friend" and is the same as ragam [Mgr], meaning "stone". Both words have as a common origin [bgr] regeb, "a clod" (of earth). Hebrew letters have meanings which define the words.
God wrote the Ten Commandments upon dead stone. It is not the medium that He preferred, but was a secondary choice, as the hearts of the people were too hard. They were stiff-necked and hard- hearted. It was easier to write His laws on stone than upon the hearts of the Israelites. There would come a day when this was no longer true.
"For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:" Hebrews 8:10
God wishes to write His laws upon lively stones and to construct His altars and temple with those same stones of living flesh.
"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:5
The stones of the altar of God were men. The use of the word "stones" was a metaphor, just as the words "burnt offering" were a metaphor for the idea of giving a thing up entirely. These altars were composed of men who the community trusted as friends, not rulers.
One of the key characteristics of these altars of men is that they are not to be hewn with iron tools. Again a metaphor of the language common to Abraham. This is in reference to regulations and restrictions placed upon these men as to how their job is done.
Why would it not be a good idea to regulate these men of the Altar? First, you should ask, "who is doing the regulating and who made them judge over the men of the altar?"
The people who freely give offerings govern by their power in choosing to give or not to give. If they did not trust or choose to give, they could stop donating and that living altar would no longer receive their offerings. The people were the governors of the system and tempered the wisdom of the altar by their own freewill charity.
No "steps that go up" is another limitation on these stone altars of flesh. The going up by steps would also be creating a hierarchy of power and control. It would be a centralization of the wealth of the altar. This would lead to power and authority amongst those who tend the altar. A different kind of soul would be drawn to the service of the altar, one thirsty for position, prestige, and power. They would assume the duties and responsibilities of the people, one to another, and, in the repose of the people, apathy and corruption would grow. The people need to participate in the daily choice of charity. Such activity builds virtue and character, as well as fellowship and community. Any centralization of authority leads to a ruling elite, and the slothful deprivation of man's individual dominion or freedom granted by God's good grace is diminished.
"What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose; the right to create for yourself the alternative of choice. Without the responsibility and exercise of choice a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing."2
These systems of charitable altars allowed communities and nations to remain free from the exercising authority established by men like Cain, Nimrod, and others. It encouraged strength amongst the gathering of the people through virtue, brotherhood, and sacrifice. It did not diminish the role of the individual or the family. It left honor within the family and compelled men only by the practice of God's love.
At the core of this system was the family. It was the family that provided security for men through the blessings of the ways of God the Father. Each family as members of the community cared one for the other, forming the whole nation through a network of caring.
In this fragile life we live, families may falter or suffer calamity or experience destitution. When larger groups came together to safeguard the whole community, they would devise methods by which all could be secure. There was always a danger of a loss of freedom: the people sought social security. Abraham's Altars gave a solution to the dilemma.
In the City-State, security was established by controls, force, and regulation of men, by men. These edicts hewed away at the freewill of men, giving power to other men instead. Men who sought power and control carved this new system into their own image. The exercising authority corrupted men and with that power came the danger of tyranny.
"Protection draws to it subjection; subjection protection"3
These leaders were granted the power to enforce the security of the State. Stripped of the presence and plan of God, these men revealed their naked assent to the position of gods, or ruling judges, of the city or civil powers. The dominion granted by God to the individual was now incorporated into the City or Civil State. The ruling elite were perpetually tempted by that power granted to them by the demagoguery of the people.
From their high positions over other men and their lofty offices, these principalities exercised authority that became totalitarian. The temptation to become a beast, devouring the people and their substance, was too great, except for men like Moses and Abraham. There was none more divinely suited as ruler of a free state than Jesus, Who came as a servant.
"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Ezekiel 16:49
Leaders are corrupted by their weakness for power and the weakness of slothful people. Equally important in the devolution of mankind is the cultivated apathy of the general populations. People no longer had to choose corporeal sacrifice in charity. No longer was faith in the Creator and love of neighbor the essential principles of social security.
It was the will of the organized State that men conformed to the will of the state and not the will of the Father in Heaven. The State promised to provide security from famine, catastrophe, and other "acts of God" or the tyranny and attacks of other civil gods of power.
A new kind of faith was directed toward the State and its gods. This faith was called allegiance. To insure the loyalty and fidelity of men, oaths were required. These ruling Benefactors also required tribute from all to insure the benefits of this controlled society. Ultimately, one class of citizens were deprived to pay for the appetites of the other. Coveting your neighbors goods became a policy of the State with a granted license by the voice of the people. Love of the State was more undeniable than love of neighbor. Private wealth became an enemy of the state and we soon saw Plato's simple economic policy, whereby no gold or silver shall be owned by any citizen, become true, even before he taught it.
Gold in the hands of the public is an enemy of the state. Adolph Hitler
Children were taught by the State or abandoned to the care of strangers. The sanctity of marriage diminished and the natural use of the flesh became dissolute. Fear of the State was more real than fear of God, for despite the praises in their temples and churches their real homage, prayers (applications) and worship was to the State.
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [institutions] … For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:" Romans 1:22-26
Under the perfect law of liberty and at the altars of Abraham and Moses, each individual or family exercised faith, hope, and charity. While at the altars and temples of the City-State, obedience and compliance were the ruling creatures. The spirit that moved those altars of force was that of covetousness, control, and cupidity.
Men may choose to apply, or pray, at a government altar of authority and force or the altar of God's granted liberty. God created a law that forbids coveting or stealing from your neighbor. Man created institutions based on taking from your neighbor.
"Because the creature [institutions]4 itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." Romans 8:21
Mankind is changed by his choice. He chooses the institutions made by men to rule over men or he chooses to seek the kingdom of God and its righteousness.
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." Matthew 11:12
The Altar of Sin
In the days of Joseph's famine, the people had given their gold, their animals, their land, and themselves in exchange for provisions. So, what did they use for money in everyday business transactions? They used a small stone or clay scarab given out by the City Treasury. The priests of Egypt administered this financial system, living through the famine on a donation from the Pharaoh. They grew wealthy while others toiled. They had vast stores of grain which they controlled as an utility, loaning it out at interest.
In their temple "granaries… priests became bankers through the loan of seed grain. In many societies the main temple and dependent structures were the most important buildings, although many smaller, often isolated, temples existed as well."5 These temples were the centers of commerce and control and the depositories of records and contracts.
"Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws"6
The High Priests knew the arts of the temple, which was, at the least, a central bank. They had control of the flow of currency which could be redeemed by foreign traders through the gates of the city, but was a regulated fiat money for the subject citizenry.
It was the greed and envy of Joseph's brothers that had brought all of Israel under the power of the Pharaohs and at the mercy of the priests of Egypt. They were to be the Altar of God as ministers in His kingdom on earth, but instead they became the bricks and stones of a ruling elite.
In Egypt, two-and-a-half month's worth of labor each year went to the government. All the gold and silver was in the treasury and the people held a mere legal title to their land and their possessions.
Moses became the son of the daughter of Pharaoh by adoption, but he saw himself becoming a tyrant and murderer like Cain and Lemech. He fled from this temptation and sought the ways of God.
God saw that the people too, were corrupted by this bondage and He sent Moses back to lead the people out of Egypt and desired that they never return to such a system.
"But he shall not… cause the people to return to Egypt … Ye shall henceforth return no more that way." Deuteronomy 17:16
God chose His people from Abraham's seed of faith and led them out of the civil powers of Egypt. He would be their God and Ruler through their hearts and minds, but they did not have the faith of their forefather, nor of Moses. They feared for their lives and sought strength in their own numbers and bound themselves together by surety and sacrifice, placing the wealth of their families in Aaron's altar of the golden calf.
"… And all the people brake off the golden earrings which [were] in their ears, and brought [them] unto Aaron. And he received7 [them] at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These [be] thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." Exodus 32:2, 4
What possessed them to make that golden calf? It was not mere superstition that motivated them, but a practicality and a lack of faith. The people literally deposited their gold, as well as other goods and sacrificed their rights to them on the altar of the golden calf. They took, in turn, some sort of exchangeable token and the promise of social security.
"Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof." Proverbs 1:14-19
Gold was deposited into a large statue for all to see. The wealth and the community was melded together into a common purse. No one person could leave in the face of an enemy without leaving behind the golden depository of their wealth. Moses could take the people out of Egypt, but only God, time, and repentance could take Egypt out of the people.
"… I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered." Zechariah 13:7
Without men of faith like Moses, David, or Jesus Christ, the people become frightened. In their fear, they reach out for something else other than God to secure their safety.
In Egypt's central banking system, the temple issued clay and stone scarabs as a substitute for commodity money like gold and silver. Those scarabs, or tokens of exchange, were worthless except in that monetarily-bound community. The priests of the temple in Egypt had kept track of all the complexities of their centralized monetary system and, of course, they profited from its management. Allegiance was assured with no true wealth in the hands of the people.
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34
Was the sin the golden statue or the lack of faith it represented? Men gave away their God-given rights and liberty in exchange for the promises of men. The altar upon which they now sacrificed was hewn with the hands of men and regulated by a ruling elite of that central depository or national bank. They had returned to Egypt with a new god.
"They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These [be] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." Exodus 32:8

Thy Kingdom Comes
Thy Kingdom Comes is an examination of the dominion of God from generation to generation, Abraham through the early Church. Chapter-by-chapter cleans a window of history to reveal what Abraham, early Israel and the early Christians were really doing and how they began to go wrong.
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus promoted a system of self-government that set men free and kept them free souls under God despite the plagues of Egypt, hardships in the wilderness, the apostasy of the Pharisees, and the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. The precepts of that faith, the spiritual self-discipline of the heart and mind of Christ guiding the people in the will of the Father, has protected and sustained faithful societies in freedom of those who truly seeks the dominion of God and His righteousness. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven." Mt 6:10
