Lawful Money ...??

[David Merrill]

Sorry ..
traveling has been of necessity

Let's start here

It was by this government exercising its power throughout an immense territory, that the Confederate notes were issued early in the war, and these notes in a short time became almost exclusively the currency of the insurgent States. As contracts in themselves, except in the contingency of successful revolution, these notes were nullities; for, except in that event, there could be no payer. They bore, indeed, this character upon their face, for they were made payable only 'after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States and the United States of America.' While the war lasted, however, they had a certain contingent value, and were used as money in nearly all the business transactions of many millions of people. They must be regarded, therefore, as a currency, imposed on the community by irresistible force.

Thank you BY!

It is good to have you back with us, Welcome and Happy Trails in your travels too.

The point that MJ and I barter with is the monetizing of sin - that the original Income Tax began in the form of having to sacrifice your prize livestock to an angry God of Abraham. He was angry because gold was valueless until people foiled it and wrapped idols and made them shiny and pretty - the Golden Calf.

Moses sung his song of Forgiveness and Redemption and actually changed God's mind about destroying Israel. The price though, was a steep one - the Income Tax, and the subsequent monetizing of sin through currency in the Messianic Model.

The point I keep making though is that the mental models are much older than 1861. The passage you are speaking of began on the SW corner of the Monument right here in Old Colorado City of Colorado Springs.

The original estate is not within the scope of Israel.


Jesus did not become a formal initiate until he was dunked in the Jordan River, with John in the Order of Archelaus.
