Hi Steemians, as we adjourn to a new month, as this coming weekend is another Holy Communion time to most churches, something came into my mind as I am typing this, especially after reading a post from my friend at Why Should You Consider Putting Your Extra Time, Effort, and Resources Into Being Part of The Collaborative Commons? with a question just like the title above.

Did God intend us all to be living in a decentralized environment?

I totally understand if you are trying to show me from the Old Testament to the New Testament about leadership, and that we must be Christ-like (like the shepherd) attending to sheep, which results leadership as well, but is it centralized governance, or decentralized governance?
Look at the scriptures that reminded me about the Body of Christ inspired by God, written by Apostle Paul:
1 Corinthians 12:27

Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

1 Corinthians 12:12

For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

Ephesians 4:15-16

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

Romans 12:4-5

For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

And what did Jesus said before he ascend to Heaven to His disciples as we called The Great Commission ?

Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

He said, make disciples , not sheep

What do disciples have?

What Jesus has (as we are baptized into him into the family of God).

We abide in Jesus, as he is the vine, we are the branches; but we are not all the same in functionality, although we are the same in entity.

We are equal by identity, but our level of responsibilities is different.

What am I trying to say?

Looking back at this whole thing in the sight of God, a bird’s eye view, how do we look like?

Even our brain neurons are very similar to it, isn’t it?

If we put the largest node as God (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) do we see a similarity?

So, in a growing decentralized system like Steemit, a wonderful community; can we make use of its environment to adapt into our original intention by God?

How do we make what we have now, in Steemit or any crypto currency we have, efficient, instead of just thinking to save it aside for rainy days?

Can we, as individuals be equally efficient for one another? Is it possible?

More importantly, how can a Christian community be efficient in this manner?

What do you think? This post is open for brainstorming together. I welcome open discussion.

Thank you for your time
