Ten Commandments (Page 4)

Zanjan: Religion in academic school has nothing to do with it. I went to public school - they never taught any aspect of religion and still don't to this day. I learned it on my own like everyone else did before I was 6 years old.

I recall one public school I attended was right across the street from a Catholic school - we were told to stay away from those kids because they were bad. I thought it was terrible to be that prejudiced. No need to start a war. I found out those kids were as bad as the kids in my public school so, that didn't make a lick of difference.

Laws are useless with out the land. Therefore, knowing the 10 commandments amounts to squat if you don't know the land of God. It takes a whole village to raise a child - the condition of society executes more influence on an impressionable child than the parental role models.

That's why they need to be brought up in a tight community - not thrown out into the waters without a boat, like I was.

Zanjan: Ignorance and neglect of religion is the reason people jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Yet we all have free will and the right to use it. Parents with kids have a very high responsibility to do what's right for their children, not just wander after their own passions.

Wacky clubs, extremism, and left wing pseudo religions are the products of a sick society - people are trying to find their way out through the heavy smoke. If an effort is made, any path will take you closer to God. My own parents gave up early in the game and eventually died from smoke inhalation.

There's nothing wrong with experimentation as long as its done in moderation and not abused. There is no better teacher than hands-on experience; however, the condition of the heart is the key to survival.

If the heart is in the right place, the feet are swift. If you aren't thriving, your belief system isn't working for you.

Zanjan: By the way, Brian, I describe myself as religious because I PRACTICE the Word of God every day, faithfully. If you think that's snotty, go back to the Word, the Source of true guidance, and study the Covenant.

Zanjan: So, you'd prefer that the guilty get soaked in blood?

That wouldn't make for a heart-pounding story, now would it?

Zanjan: All of God's religions are good - I've never implied all men were. Few in the past were fit to live up to religion's teachings. If the rest of them had been, this world would be a paradise right now!

Evolution is slow yet steady. Humans need a long time to *collectively* learn; it doesn't matter what they believe, there has never been anything that made them grow up faster. Religious history is our record of 'pacing'.

You've heard me say that every path will bring one closer to God; how close, depends on the effort and love one is willing to put into the education, training and self-discipline. God puts each soul in the most appropriate place to learn *specific* spiritual lessons; once those are grasped, the soul progresses to a new challenge. That's the way it works.

Here's an old maxim: 'Even a potato will cease to flourish if planted and re-planted in the same worn out soil'.

Seething anger doesn't win trophies or wars, girl.

ASuzette: God forbids nothing. It would be good if the religious would be helpful in handing over the creep to the authorities, but they won't.

Zanjan: Since recorded history, we know that God legislated the appointment of Judges to deal with religious rogues in their fold. This authority doesn't have power over the decisions of the law of the Land; rather it deals with membership. In such things as marriage, divorce, Wills, burial, ceremony and various by-laws etc., all religions have this authority. They also have the authority to bar or excommunicate any member.

No individual can put another individual on trial, convict or sentence him - that's why it's written "Thou shalt not judge". For moderns, God has actually used the word "vigilante' because we can understand big words now, you see.

Problems happen when a religious system becomes a State religion - that situation blends civil and religious law into a murky lake. Thus, a monarchy (a divinely ordained institution) used to be the best way to handle that, given the Monarch was a Godly, devout, upright and beneficent Sovereign.

However, the old world order has passed away so, this arrangement isn't particularly workable for modern mankind, except for maybe on a tiny Island.

In the New World Order, God has divided authority and power. The rulers have authority in law; whereas, the people have the power to press into existence and execute laws. Since this is a recent development for mankind, it takes some getting used to. Many people don't know how to use their power yet. That ability depends on the spirit and state of of the heart.

Zanjan: Canadian law has ruled that ANYONE who has witnessed a crime MUST report it - that includes religious leaders. They're liable as an accessory if they fail to do so. If ANYONE has knowledge of a crime and fails to report it, they're culpable of "obstruction of Justice". If Leaders let their membership down, as in certain well-known cases, the offended can rightly sue them for damages.

If your country doesn't allow that, YOU need to get after your politicians and press them to do something. After all, you've hired them to do that job on your behalf.

Zanjan: We notice the 10 Commandments didn't address pedophilia. We could assume this specific behaviour simply didn't exist in those days or, we could take it this was prevented by the rights of passage, which are stated in the other Commandments.

In later dispensations, there is more written about sexual deviancy and rights of passage. Almost all of these have carried over into civil law.
