I don’t know. Did He?
God’s Word is unerring. But why does God instruct Jeremiah to say in chapter 8:8-9,
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
**9 **The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
The Word of the Lord, when properly understood, followed and obeyed, leads us to a right life governed by a Love of God and Neighbor- as the first 5 of the ten Commandments instruct us to love God while the next set instructs us to Love those around us, our neighbors.
As demonstrated by all of the righteous men and women who have ever lived, including Abraham the Father of the Hebrew people and Christ our Savior, the Father of Our Faith. Who prayed to intervine for the lost, those damned and doomed to be destroyed. Who prayed for the less fortunate, the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, the stranger amongst us traveling through. They offered food, shelter, money, time and effort toward those in need, for causes that mattered to God. They, who themselves were full of mercy and kindness and hospitality, welcoming all who came to their door and pursued peace with those around them. They placed themselves in danger, sacrificed themselves for what is right. That none be lost.
Christ said the highest commandment is to Love God, and the second highest was to Love our neighbor as we love ourselvss. He said that ALL that was given to us from God, the totality of His Word given to us from God, that actually comes from God through His Prophets and His Scribes and His Lawmakers, hinge on these two Commanadments.
And it can be said that anything contrary to these two Commandments, anything that does not align with the goal of these two commandments, does not come from God at all but from sinful man instead, spoken irreverently by a crooked and corrupt generation who crave power and wealth from the greed found in their cheating and crooked and sinful hearts. Having taken God’s Good Name in Vain, offering false instruction that lead God’s people astray. Because they do not know their Lord, their God. They are Lies sustained by a cowardly and lost generation who refuse to question and reason against the authority that lies to them and binds them in sin
They, who fight so fiercely to protecti the unborn child while neglecting the one that was born, turning a blind eye toward neglect, abuse, starvation, or the lack of parental love and care. Neglecting Love and Care for both the young and the old, the child and the elderly alike. Claiming to be Pro-Life while rounding up the homeless to move them someplace out of sight, if not imprisoning and murdering them. Or sentencing human beings to die instead of seeking their education, psychological care, or rehabilitation and reconciliation. Picking sides in a war based on Religion rather than Justice, allowing children to be murdered in a genocide over an event that they had nothing to do with.
Tell me, where is God’s Word or Christ’s Love in these actions, or in the lack?
For Christ speaks of the enemy who sowed lies in the King’s field, which had been seeded full of good wheat, full of nourishing sustenance
Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s, but give to God what belongs to God. Man toils the land for gold and rot. But God rends the heart and seeds it to grow an Everlasting Kingdom, allowing wheat amd weed to grow together in the meantime until the Day of Harvest.
And we live in those Days. When all things will be reaped and measured, seprated by their kind. By the Winnowing Blade of Christ in all of His Authority.
And the Truth will be revealed, when mankind is rewarded for their work. And the kind of work they did. For the kingdom they fought most for, to lift up. And whether they cried out to save Christ or crucify him on the cross. Whether they were called Beloved and died with Him on that cross, reborn a child of God. Or embraced their murderous blood thirsty nature and dug in to their Godless ways to grow deeper roots into sin. Who look for the innocent victim to devour.
Did God order the murder of children? Would you say He would order the murder of a child today? Would you dare to express this opinion to God’s Face?
The Bible is clear. The Godless, those who behave in a selfish, destructive sinfull, greedy, and lawless manner will not inherit the Earth. But nothing written in the Bible gives anyone of God’s People the right, permission, or authority to behave like the Godless to their neighbors. Those who shed innocent blood on this land will be cast out of it.
