If the Church is to be undiluted and pure when handed over to Jesus Christ, then it must remain unadulterated. In Biblical terms, if the people of the Embassy of Heaven Church were to go out and become participants in the governments of the world, they would be committing adultery. The reason is because our husband is Jesus Christ,33 2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. our government. If we go after strange gods or strange governments, then we have committed adultery. It's just like a woman who is supposed to be with her husband, but goes to bed with another man. She is an adulteress. Our husband is Christ. Our husband is not the State. The State demands our obedience, but the State is a stranger to us. To someone who is part of the State, the State is his shepherd. For us, we have only one shepherd, Jesus Christ, our husband. When He commands us to do things, we obey Him. If someone from the State commands us, we treat him like a stranger. We flee from him.34 John 10:5 "Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
The State makes us look like we are evil and anarchists, yet we are 100 percent obedient to the One who calls us. We only look like lawbreakers because we are not obeying their house rules. But we are not of their household, we are of the household of God.35 Ephesians 2:19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. They persecute us, and from the Church's perspective, make up phony charges against us. If their law enforcement officers see us traveling in a Church vehicle, they may try to charge us with failing to display a driver's license. This is a ridiculous charge. How can we be expected to display a driver's license issued by their government, when we belong to another government. We present them with our Church driver license that shows we have authority to use the highways in the Kingdom of Heaven, but some of them refuse to acknowledge that the Church is an authority.
We cannot present a State license because we are barred from doing that. If we do, we have committed adultery with foreign governments. The State cannot demand something that is impossible to present. Would they expect someone from the State of Oregon to get a driver license from the Embassy of Heaven Church? No. They would want their people to get it from them. In the same terms, would the State of Oregon want one of their residents to go to the State of California to get a driver's license? No! Yet, that is what they are doing by demanding that the Church present a State license. Why would someone from a foreign government be expected to get a driver's license from them? It is not reasonable. They're asking for the impossible. They're asking us to depart from the government of Jesus Christ.
