Genesis 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require"..... "at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Numbers 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
These two passages of scripture teach us of the justice of God, as it should be implemented across the entire globe, wherever laws governing proper conduct are upheld. One of the great deceptions of our time is the belief that God is only merciful and not just, hence the reason why the current pontiff has dwelt tremendously on mercy, while those guilty priests who have abused young boys and girls are not held to account.
This unscriptural concept has now been proposed to the entire world body of secular leaders, who are encouraged by the pope to adopt the abolition of the death penalty, and although it may sound merciful and good on the surface, yet the concept itself secretly undermines the authority of Jehovah, for He who created us in His own image and likeness, has already stated that whosoever sheds man's blood, in like manner must his blood be shed.
If this policy were to be now adopted by the leaders of our great nation, then criminals like Bin Laden, who murdered 3000 souls on September 11th will not be justly dealt with, but instead we would have to spend million and millions of dollars keeping him alive in maximum security prisons, all the while feeding him with good food, and providing entertainment, while the families of the lost continue to mourn. And Hitler who had slain millions of Jews would also not be brought to justice, and inevitably, murderers would now be encouraged to take human life indiscriminately, for no one will be afraid of the consequences anymore.
But instead, the Lord ordains that crimes against humanity such as genocide and any wanton murder be visited with like penalties, so that the inhabitants of the land may fear and tremble, and thus be afraid to follow the same course of action. Let's read:
Deuteronomy 17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
When the thief on the cross was just about to expire, he then gave his life to Christ, who is the Life-giver, but Jesus worked no miracle to deliver him from the penalties for his crimes, which were his just due. And we are never to be deceived with the false doctrine which proposes that God is too merciful to punish the sinner, for this mode of thought will set us up for a very rude awakening when the judgments of God begin to come across the land.
Furthermore, if any of the policies laid out by the current pontiff were ever to be implemented here in America, we will destroy ourselves as a nation, and make our citizens subservient to the authority and dictates of Rome, a plot that is steadily being developed behind the scenes, for the papacy is dead set on regaining world dominance, whatever the cost might be.
We therefore hope and pray that our leaders may not be deceived anymore, but that they rise up and shake off the shackles by which the papacy seeks to bring us once again into bondage. Thus we end with a passage of scripture which encourages us to value the freedoms God has granted to us in Christ Jesus, and it is His will that we refuse the yoke of bondage that Rome is desperately seeking to place around our necks. Let's read:
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study and practice of His every word. God bless!
