Freedom to the Prisoners
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18 / Isaiah 61:1)
Real Christianity is compassion for the oppressed.
This site was created from a literal prison by a man who spent a quarter of his life wrongfully incarcerated by the USA.
It is about more than that, however--it is about freedom from all the types of tyrannies and evils that oppress humankind.
I want to help people eliminate the irrationalities that are ingrained by their societies.

(I started this in 2007, right before the 2008 recession, but people did not listen, and national debt has tripled since then)
Freedom from addiction
(see Gospel Addicts tracts 1 & 2)
Freedom from want
(Want is the biggest prison of all!)
Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something!
Everybody matters or nobody matters.
God means everything or everything means nothing.
"Speak the words of truth and reason" / "Speak forth the words of truth and soberness" (Acts 26:25)
Is it not a contradiction that we ask God to bless us even as we continue to curse others? Does God exist to subsidize our sins?
All human problems--100% of them!--are the result of people not doing what God said to do. Injustice comes from sinfulness.
The church has the solution with the power to fix all these things, if only it would adhere to the teachings and church model in Scriptures!

You Can Fund Liberty

- You can fund a free country by donating to Freedom to the Prisoners, formerly EmpyreanFund
Join the movement to end slavery on earth, declaring freedom from all types of oppression and, ultimately, freedom from death itself!
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:14-15)

The modern-day abolition is not just about slavery or imprisonment but also about access to land.
Most of the land is owned by a small fraction of people, while most people own no land at all.
Everyone will know it was a Christian who said that all human beings should have equal access to land!
We do not have a right to an equal amount of property because we do not all do an equal amount of work.
But none of us worked to create the land, so we should all be considered equal in that!
God created the earth and has given it to the children of men (Psalm 115:16), meaning that every human has a right to the earth.
Everyone who deprives anyone else of the ability to utilize the earth is committing a crime against God.
Empyrean Movement
"Empyrean" refers to the dwelling of God at His throne in the highest heaven of heavens.
The kingdom of God, or the kingdom Empyrean, is wherever the rule of God is acknowledged.
(God rules over all, but not all acknowledge or obey God.)
The government of God recognizes free will, for no one is forced to be part of heaven!
God's rule is love, but love can never be forced. Involuntary love would be a contradiction, not real.
Therefore, any government that is forced on people is antithetical to the government of God.
The Empyrean movement, then, is for the kingdom of God to be chosen on earth as it is in heaven.
That is, the tyrannical governments on earth should be replaced with heaven's kingdom of the love of God.
Christianity is the Empyrean movement: A movement for the freedom brought by Jesus Christ:
A movement for God to dwell among and within human beings, leading us in the way of love forever.
God sent Jesus Christ His Son to show that He wants His throne in your heart as you are in His!
Jesus taught the kingdom of God because no other king can save us but God. His kingdom is to love Him.
God's One Law:
"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
More simply, "Love each other." (John 13:34; John 15:12,17; 1st John 3:23)
It is the same law given from ancient times: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:37-40)
It is not necessary to create additional legislation because "the law of the LORD is perfect" (Psalm 19:7).
So politicians are not necessary! The executive and judicial branches are the only ones needed for human governments.
You are not treating your neighbor as you want to be treated if you are enslaving your neighbor.
You are not loving your neighbor if you are allowing your neighbor to be enslaved.
You are not loving your neighbor as yourself if you are using more of the earth than your neighbor can use also.
You are not loving your neighbor if you are not loving God, for God is the closest neighbor to all of us.
God's only approved political system is monarchy--God as King, ruling through His Anointed.
But if God is in all, then everybody should be considered royalty.
So the monarchy of God is in fact omniarchy.
Omniarchy is the political system that results from God putting Himself (His Spirit) into all persons.
This can only be accomplished by the uniting of all persons with God through Jesus Christ, the Anointed.
God anointed Jesus as King. The King is not dead. He is alive and seated at His throne right now.
Since Jesus is King, all the men and women joined as one body in Him are also kings and queens.
Free will is the source of love and of "rights."
If I want other people to respect my freedom of will, it is only right that I respect theirs, too.
People who do not believe in free will cannot claim to have rights, for the concepts of right and wrong presuppose free will.
There could be no right or wrong choice for people if they had no free will, for they would have no choice in the matter at all.
Free will implies that God exists who gave it, so people who deny God also deny free will and thereby deny having any rights.
If we are all equal, we all have the equal right to use free will. God is the only one who has a right to supersede our free will.
Anybody can use God-given free will in freedom, but not if it stops others from using their free will, too.
Any crime against another person's free will is essentially a crime against God who gave life as a gift.
All true crimes are ultimately crimes against God, who has all rights, for no higher authority exists.
He has the absolute right to do as He wants, and everything He wants is absolutely right.
God is the only one who created the earth and so is the only one who has a right to it.
He gave the earth to humankind to share, not to fight over it.
Every person has the right to travel the whole earth in a peaceful manner.
To use more than a fair share of land or natural resources is a crime against God and other humans.
Omniarchy is the opposite of socialism because socialism says that no one should have private property.
Omniarchy says that all people should have private property, as well as equal access to natural resources needed to make it.
Private property is meaningless without land to put it on or resources from which to create it.
In order to be free, you have to have land to be free on; there can never be a free market without fair access to land.
Since there has never been a fair and free market on earth, none of the people with wealth can say they earned it in a fair and honest manner.
In an honest society, honest hard work would rightly lead to more wealth, but in a crooked society, the rich tend to get rich by being crooked.
To love others is to work to stop criminals and criminal organizations from hurting others.
Governments that break their own laws are criminal organizations, by their own definitions!
John the Baptist taught that those who have two must give to those who have none (Luke 3:11).
How quickly the church forgot to share with those in need! That is when the miracles became fewer (1st Corinthians 11:30).
When the greedy did not lead the church, nobody was in want, and everybody was healed (Acts 4:34, 5:16).
Is it that the Holy Spirit has left the church, or simply that the church is not listening?
Some say the age of miracles is past, but what if the miracle God wants is a church that will listen to Him and read the Scriptures?
God had the ability and right to defend Jesus His Son from arrest and crucifixion.
But since the devil murdered the innocent Son of Man, the devil lost the rights over man that were given up by Adam.
Jesus could have asked God to destroy His persecutors, but He waited for the resurrection on the third day in accordance with Scriptures.
Now everyone who is in Jesus is a joint-heir of God with Him! Nothing in Scriptures states that God intended to be limited to three persons.
The Church is one with the Lord (1st Corinthians 6:17). The Bride is inseparable from the Husband and has His rights, not to be sundered.
End Mass Incarceration for Nonviolent Crimes
"When saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethen,
ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:39-40)
The arrest and imprisonment of people who are doing no violence is a form of violence itself.
Taking part of a life is the same as taking a life, just to a lesser extent--so imprisonment is a lesser degree of murder.
If a person is a threat to you or another, imprisonment is justified as an act of defending yourself or another.
Imprisonment of someone who is not a threat is not justified, just as murder is not justified.
It is violent to arrest somebody, or do anything else to a person by force, if that person has not used force on another.
To elect representatives to hire officials to do violence on your behalf is the same as being violent yourself.
You would want to be treated fairly and lawfully if you were arrested, so it is against God's law to deny due process to me.
Some suggested reforms:
- All plea deals under duress/detention should be annulled because a contract cannot be valid while one party has the other in shackles
- Reform habeas corpus, adding the absolute right to appointed counsel for habeas corpus and to federal review over state convictions
- No imprisonment for "victimless crimes," and the victims and public should have more say over unfair sentencing for nonviolent offenses
- Public defenders should not be working for the same people prosecuting the accused, and judges should not profit from the prison system
I have been in a private, for-profit prison over eight years and have seen how the people running the system are in league with gangs/cartels
American courts are a front for organized crime, routinely violating the laws/rights they claim to protect, thwarting legal remedies for detainees
The Jesus Movement
The social systems of the world are not viable to sustain life on earth.
There is not time to change them by means of existing political structures.
In order to save the world, a new type of nation is needed for when then others fail.
A man named Jesus had a plan to establish a new society among humans.
He was killed for it, but that was not the end... He could not be stopped by death.
It was the beginning of a kingdom that cannot be conquered or destroyed.
He called it the kingdom of heaven, but for centuries its principles were forgotten.
Today it lives on among those who remember the truth about the King.
We call it Empyrean.
Love does not let people stay in bondage when they could have something better.
Love does not leave the world in its sins.
Free will means that, at any given moment, an evil person may choose to become good.
The Jesus movement is the Empyrean movement.
