Elias: 消除政治腐败的关键在于将治理责任更多地交还给人民，而不是依赖于根深蒂固的政治体制。取消选举团是一个糟糕的主意，人们应该理解自由政府的运作方式以及如何防止腐败。 Brother Gregory: 将权力下放给州或县政府并不能解决腐败问题，因为州和县政府也可能存在腐败。圣经实际上教导人们如何获得自由、保持自由，并警告人们不要做那些会剥夺自由的事情。许多教会没有传授圣经中关于自由、保持自由以及避免导致失去自由的行为的教导。任何人都无法消除华盛顿的腐败，因为腐败已经根深蒂固。早期基督教徒通过一个国际性的慈善网络提供社会福利，这个网络在罗马帝国衰落期间仍然运作良好。对抗腐败的解决方案是建立一个独立于受控媒体和公共机构的网络，并通过能够承受极端压力的人际关系来巩固这个网络。如果特朗普兑现其承诺，将会对腐败的“沼泽”造成重大影响，但这场战斗才刚刚开始。一个自由国家的根本精神要么体现在人民身上，要么没有。如果它没有体现在人民身上，这些人就会被操纵。解决问题的办法是建立一个关心彼此生活和权利的网络，就像关心自己一样。只有少数美国人拥有这种关心他人和自身权利的精神。基督只命令他的门徒一次组织人民，以十、百、千为单位。在历史上，最主要的自由政府形式是以十、百、千为单位组织的人民。二战期间的法国地下抵抗组织也是如此组织的。 Brother Gregory: 将希望寄托于总统是一种偶像崇拜，因为总统的任期是有限的。建立一个社区需要在地方层面建立信任，并且要学习如何识别值得信赖的人。“社区”一词与“圣餐”一词源于同一个词根，早期教会的圣餐不仅仅是面包。早期基督徒通过提供食物和物资来建立联系和信任。建立一个基于地理位置的网络，将各个地方的群体联系起来。通过提供物资和帮助来建立信任，从而形成一个强大的网络。摩西教导人们互相照顾，而不是依赖法老。人们不应该仅仅是美国公民，而应该是美国人。许多群体自称是“社区”，但缺乏真正的互助和关怀。人们不应该依赖政府来提供社会福利，而应该依靠社区互助。特朗普当选并不能解决问题，腐败已经深入人心。爱你的邻居不仅仅是坐在座位上，而是要付诸行动。仅仅在线交流并不能建立一个值得信赖的网络，真正的网络需要建立在人际关系的基础上。特朗普最终可能会失败，因为腐败势力根深蒂固。社会主义政府容易滋生腐败。社会保障号码实际上是奴役的象征。圣经中关于“买或卖”的经文并非字面意思，而是指进入市场的能力。在美国，许多活动都需要社会保障号码，这限制了人们的自由。许多腐败并非来自华盛顿的政客和官僚，而是来自庞大的官僚体系。当人们依赖政府福利时，社会就会走向衰败。免费面包和马戏会削弱人民，分裂人民。法利赛人的祭祀制度从自愿奉献变成了强制奉献，这会摧毁社会。通过慈善而不是税收来照顾社会弱势群体至关重要。人们需要承担责任才能维护自己的权利。克劳德和皮文计划通过社会福利系统使美国破产。克劳德和皮文的计划是通过破坏家庭和使人们依赖政府来控制社会。人们应该通过自愿奉献而不是强制征税来照顾彼此。现代基督徒依赖政府提供社会福利，违背了耶稣的教导。摩西并没有教导人们建造石头的圣殿，而是教导人们在自己的帐篷门口敬拜。克劳德和皮文以及共产主义者的目标是摧毁家庭，夺取人们的财产。新冠疫苗对人们的健康造成了严重的损害。美国许多年轻人不适合服兵役，这与饮食和健康状况有关。许多健康问题是可以逆转的，但需要几代人的努力。为他人奉献会使人获得更多。社会主义最终会导致共产主义。可能会有内乱，这会为政府收缴枪支提供借口。可能有来自其他国家的武装人员被纳入美国军队，这可能是一种潜在的威胁。解决问题的办法不是暴力反抗，而是团结起来。希律和法利赛人的社会福利制度是基于强制奉献，这是一种压迫。希律和法利赛人宣扬的是强制、恐惧和效忠，而基督宣扬的是信心、希望和慈善。罗斯福总统的政策导致教会不再需要照顾社会弱势群体。早期美国人互相帮助，而不是依赖政府。自由伴随着责任，而现代社会已经忘记了这一点。寻求上帝的国度和他的公义是关于在个人基础上承担责任。人们必须团结起来才能变得强大，才能应对挑战。埃及的奴役是指政府占据了人们劳动成果的20%。摩西建立了一个基于自愿奉献的自由政府。通过慈善而不是强制来提供社会福利至关重要。建立一个网络需要学习如何信任他人，但并非所有人都值得信任。早期美国人通过放弃社会主义制度，最终建立了繁荣的社区。学习分享是建立社区的关键，但也要谨慎选择与谁分享。建立一个网络，让人们能够互相帮助，互相支持。“童贞女”和“淫乱者”是象征性的说法，指那些依赖政府福利的人。贪婪是偶像崇拜，依赖政府福利也是一种偶像崇拜。人们应该寻求替代方案，而不是依赖政府。人们应该承担责任，而不是依赖政府福利。贪婪会导致人们被当作商品。宗教的定义是虔诚地履行对上帝和同胞的责任。美国真正的流行病是人们之间的不信任和社会的分裂。
