I don't see "legal caretaker" or "caretaker" in Black's Law Dictionary.  Many terms are interchangable.  Here are some definitions that might help.  \n\n"Legal custody" is defined as "restraint of or responsibility for a person according to the law, such as a guardian's authority over the person or property, or both, of his ward."  p. 619.  \n\n"Custody" is defined (in part) as "The care and control of a thing or person.  The keeping, guarding, care, watch, inspection, preservation or security of a thing, carrying with it the idea of the thing being within the immediate personal care and control of the person to whose custody it is subjected.  Immediate charge or control, and not the final, absolute control of ownership, implying the responsiblity for the protection and preservation of the thing in custody..." p. 266.\n\n"Guardian" is defined as "a person lawfully invested with the power, and charged with the duty, of taking care of the person and managing the property and rights of another person, who, for defect of age, understanding, self-control, is considered incapable of administering his own affairs.  One who legally has responsibility for the care and management of the person, or the estate, or both, of a child during its minority."  p.488.\n\n"Ward" is defined as "guarding, caring, protecting.... A person, especially a child or incompetent, placed by the court under care and supervision of a guardian or conservator." p. 1093.

The whole verse?  It describes how God will care for us, tend to our needs, the way a Shepherd would.  \n\nYou know, a good Shepherd will leave his flock to seek out one lost sheep.  Each one of us is THAT important to Him.  He will come to you if you will only call out to Him.

Galatians 2:21 (NKJV)  \n    I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain." \n\nGalatians 5:4 (NKJV)  \n    You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. \n\nGalatians 5:14 (NKJV)  \n    For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." \n\nGalatians 5:18 (NKJV)  \n    But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. \n\nIsaiah 64:6 (NKJV)  \n    But we are all like an unclean thing,\n    And all our righteousness are like filthy rags;\n    We all fade as a leaf,\n    And our iniquities, like the wind,\n    Have taken us away. \n________\n\nWe do not stand as "righteous" because of our works.  Our works, even our "good works" are filthy rags.  No one can stand by their own merit.\n\nNow, if we are Christians, Christ died and paid the penalty for everything we have done and WILL DO.\n\nWe do not now stand in front of God with an empty slate...Christ has GIVEN us HIS Righteousness.  \n\nI now stand in front of God as a sinner, yet with Christ's righteousness.  \n\nActs 13:38-39 (NKJV)  \n    Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; [39] and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. \n\nGod sees me as perfect.  I am not under Law.  It is my guide.

Jeremiah is an Old testament book and really written for Judah.  But, everyone can learn from the OT.  And, there is some background to that text.  jeremiah is praying for correction.- translation of verse- pastors have become dull-hearted.  they aren't "on fire for the Lord".  They've lost their zeal and excitement for serving God.  pastors are also known as shepherds, which is why it says their flocks shall be scattered.  In today's society, their "flocks can be scattered" in different ways.  Maybe the Christians are only church Christians and act as if they "lost" their religion during the week.  pastors have to give an account to God for their stewardship of Christians.  Some pastors are not doing what they are suppose to be doing.  Like you said, some pastors are in it for the money.  Some are trying to be politically correct and therefore not teaching the whole word of God.  They'll talk about how much God loves you, but don't want to talk about God's wrath.

It's when a group decides to make up their own law for everyone to vote on. Over-used, in my opinion. In Maine it's often used by evangelicals who want to deny civil rights to others.\n\nThere's a special process, starting with a petition drive.

Be respectful of THOSE (plural) given leadership over you. Many pastors are on a control trip and think that no decision in the church should take place without thier permission. That is not true from the New Testament. I would respect those duties lined out for pastors and deacons in the New Testament, if they overstep that or expect more, let them stew in their own juices (and expect that they probably will)

I'm not exactly sure of the true meaning of "left foot of fellowship" but my guess would be that it's from what our Lord said concerning judgment, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.etc." It goes on to say how the sheep are the blessed of God and the goats are cursed of God. So, my interpretation of your questions would be that the right hand of fellowship would be between true Christian believers and the left hand of fellowship would be between the "so-called" Christians.

It means the obvious, but first go back to 24:9. The next step  is for believers to be rounded up and some killed. Note!  I did not say "Christian" It is among them that we find those making the "800-call-Satan" to report you..yes, from your own house and church.  I do not go by "Christian" I am a member of the Messiah's flock. I hear his voice and to a stranger I will not listen

The word 'deacon' really just means 'servant'.\nIt can be used interchangeably for someone who waits on tables, preaches, teaches, administers sacraments, or performs menial tasks.\nSome denominations/churches have made it a 'position' within the church/denomination, but it was not so used in the N.T.\n\nThe New Testament is however very clear on what is required of a person who wishes to be a deacon.\n\n1 Timothy 3\n1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. \n2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; \n3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; \n4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; \n5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) \n6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. \n7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. \n8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; \n9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. \n10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. \n11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. \n12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. \n13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. \n14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: \n15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. \n16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

You are right! Well done for noticing!\nThe true definition of this word has been deliberately altered and redefined by certain vested interests. The root of this word actually comes from the word CULTIVATE. (!)\nThe main purpose here is to create fear and alarm in the society, particularly western society. They have re positioned the word so that people will associate it with a general "idea" of something dangerous, that might attack them or cause them harm, or more importantly,undermine their religious beliefs.\nThere is an underlying reason why this is done, particularly in the area of religion, tho the "redefinition" of words is actually a common black propaganda tool in this society.\n\nConsider this:\nA society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. Where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.\nIf you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.\nProbably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religios experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.\nFor the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.\nThe source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.\nUnfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others\nto forward and promote their enemy properganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.\n\nThe key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:\nThe spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.
