| Lesson 61: The Law Of The Old Testament That Is Covered In The New Testament: Dishonor Of Parents And Family 3/24/2014 by turtle30c Matthew 10:18-23 KJV (18) And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. (19) But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. (20) For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. (21) And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. (22) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. (23) But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. God returning in visible form as the Son of Man by virgin birth would be the one thing that would divide people of faith for centuries about the grace of God. How man can twist things and turn things to the point that man is not only mocked but hated enough to even turn their on families over to the legal system, many will never fully understand. After all your family is your clan, or homies is your group, is your core unit in which one is raised unless there is child abuse. Yet if you ever been away from your family for college, camp, work, military, or for some other reason, you may of found the universal family of people. People that become as dear as family. One adopts these people because of similarities or the fact your stuck together for a duration of time. Even if you have not seen or heard from these people once separated, to come reunited it like being reunited with one own family. After all you may of spent so much time together you may even know each other better then family. The ratting out of one’s own family is beyond the regular norm, and yet sometimes it is a must given evil, yet it should never be for religious reasons unless because of abuse. Our world has come a long ways since the time of Christ resurrection and the persecution of both Christians and other religious groups. I might not agree with someone on faith but I would never want them dead nor want them injured. In truth I do not think this view is different then other people. Yet when one’s faith begins to cause an uprising there is option even if it no more then seeking a person’s faults of the legal law. There groups that have killed because of religious or politics opinion, which our nation has worked hard to strive against, and yet it still goes on, and a crime of this type is judged by our laws. There is another reason why Christian faith is hated above others is because of claim who Jesus is and was. The fact is Jesus being the Son of God, and the very word of God brings option in life to many as just the Word of God before, during and after the time of Jesus. People in option to the word of God often know not the love of God or the truth of what God says to mankind on how to live and why. The basic principals of life of morality brings peace with your neighbor, but it can also cause a war if there disagreement, now imagine in a family group how the war develops. If one steals, or cheats another family member it causes a mini war. It is the breaking down of the family unit. Certain crimes between families are reportable. Yet those in option of the Word of God will falsely accuse those in legal right of justice. They choose deception instead of truth. Yet today truth is definite by camera’s and tapes that can be altered. Where does one draw the line. Dear Heavenly Father your people know the truth of your word, and yet there is safety by your word even in times of opposition, because your Word reigns forever more. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
