Part 3 of 4

Jhn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

People love to judge one another. We thrive on gossip and mishap, sensationalism and extravagance, instead of simple praise and encouragment. Judging and controlling one another we love most of all. The further we stray from the Law of God, the more judgmental and hypocritical we become in order to get what we desire rather than what God desires for us. The Whore is willing to grant us what we desire, knowing in the end, we will end up with nothing. And it is then that we are willing to enslave and punish anyone, be they innocent or guilty. Whatever, as long as it gives us some advantage over our enemies, friends and family alike...

The Law of God does not grant this "freedom." It grants Justice and Mercy and Divine Liberty. The Guilty most often, must be quickly put to death according to the crime, an eye for an eye, but that is it. There's no enslaving the guilty, making him work, slave and pay for his crime and more...

More often than not, putting the guilty to death is a favor done him and the community. Much like the practice of sacrifice and alms giving. Men were honored to receive a lamb from God's Hand and the privilege of washing away sins and freeing the soul of the entity trapped in the beast when sacrificed. As with the soul scarred man guilty of murder or whatever crime he committed. And this pleased God because men understood justice and mercy and set about to make it the Way and were grateful toward God and one another. This produced Unity and Wisdom in men.

Psa 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!

There was love between men and justice was done and mercy shown. The soul was fed and freed.

In the Whore's defense, what She tried to do, with an insane sort of love, makes sense in a realm void of sense and dependent upon magick and emotional rescue found in escape in art, craft, sport, drink, drug, etc...A cruel and impossible realm for any who would desire the LORD's Will be done. Where impishness is a matter of survival and righteousness a dead giveaway. Honesty akin to stupidity and wickedness cloaked as virtue exalted as the highest of acheivement and rewarded as such.

The Whore keeps the beast bound and leashed, endeavoring to care for it, not because she cares, but because her understanding is perverse and in order to make herself a god. But she is a zoo keeper and circus owner. No god but a devil of devils. Thus the PETA and MSPCA and all such are abominations working wickedness.

I would that the institution or practice of Sacrifice of the LORD be reinstituted in the homes of believers as well as in our synagogues and churches for a time in our Nation.

I believe in so doing, we would instantaneously and dramatically lessen injustice, violence, corruption and the "terror" these induce in our Nation. It would also teach an important and forgotten lesson about our LORD and what it means to be redeemed by the blood of a substitute; innocent blood shed for guilty sinners. The price of sin, the love of God, the vileness of a man's pride and the solemn beauty of an unblemished lamb led to slaughter. And the inhuman, ungodly cruelty of a Nation in a state of apostasy.

After a time, this would permit us to restore a right and just relationship with our Creator and the natural Creation, one worthy of the Children of God.

Beasts of burden are a burden. Not something to be desired. Too often we replace duty to our fellow citizens with an inhuman and ungodly love toward a beast. That is not to say, we should not regard the lives of our pets or animals, but we should never desire this relationship, especially above and beyond relationships with each other and our God.

Wildlife is wonderful and wildlife tamed or subdued yet still free and at her own liberty is miraculous and a joy to behold, but never to be indebted to or imitated as the heathen would.

We spend more of our resources, time, money and manpower on enviromental issues of a natural world than we do on right relationships with fellowmen and women and God. Further frustrating and complicating the latter with undue appreciation for the former. It's obscene and abominable. The latter problem begot the first and rather than deal with the problem at the root of the problem and confront one another, we strive to master that which we have no right to.

Therefore, perhaps all this, this great folly of an errant Nation we fondly call America is worthy precisely because we have become pridefully unworthy and comically stupid all the while imagining ourselves to be clever and wise, even brilliant and worthy of Authority. Nothing could be further from the Truth!

In other words-disobedience saves. Because men are going to disobey and often God does not act until we do disobey. We're suicidal. And it is our reaction to His Action that may make us worthy recipients of the Gift of Salvation.

Rom 8:16-21 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

 

1Cr 12:12-27 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness. For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

"The Body of Christ, Amen."
