Honor & Aristocracy It is difficult to teach honor codes because they are related to aristocracy and when people begin to think like peasants they become peasants and as peasants it is almost impossible to communicate an honor code system to them. People who cannot think in terms of aristocracy will be petty and jealous and vindictive and bicker and play at being spiritual king of the mountain and see who can out do the other and they have all sorts of hangups and are usually totally subjective. The believer in The Lord Jesus, The Christ in the Church Age is “BORN AGAIN” into the Status Quo of Aristocracy. This denotes achievement in history and though everyone starts about the same, some then achieve and establish themselves within a group and some do not. Our Aristocracy as believers in Christ and our Status Quo of Royal Family of God is not achieved but comes to us by means of grace. The Church Age is the dispensation of the Royal Family of God. Therefore, we must have Royal family function and this function is to be based on the Royal Family Honor Code. This is not function under the Mosaic Law nor under some system of morality or some church program. Jesus and his work and function in the first advent is the basis for the Royal Family Honor Code.
