| Lesson 75: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In The New Testament: Entrapping 4/7/2014 by turtle30c Exodus 21:16 KJV (16) And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. What is thievery of a person? It is in slavery of another human person who entrapped into involuntary service. Into service to perform an action that they rather not do. To sell someone out of capture of war, or taken by kidnapping. Reuben, Judah, Levi, Simeon and the rest of the boys of Jacob sold Joseph into slavery. Into slavery because of jealousy of their father. One boy going back in hopes to free his brother only to discover him gone. Sold into slavery by his own family. Joseph own family not caring what anyone would do to him. Yet Joseph would find forgiveness for his brothers because of his faith in God. Our nation built by people enslaved by traders and freed by non traders who desire to see a people go free and not in tangled by a yoke of bondage and abuse. No one worthy of abuse or misuse. Human trafficking still occurs today. Placing people in bondage not only to those that enslave, but if freed, enslaved to those that rescued them. Why because people that are rescue usually have no recourse, but to enslave themselves to some other form of work or service to repay those that freed them. To pay back those that helped. Joseph was enslaved by the king into ruling over grain and other things placed in his hands, because of interpretation of a dream about a famine. Now Joseph could not go home, but had to plan on how to prepare for what was to come not only for Egypt but surrounding territories. There is no record of the king ever asking Joseph of His qualification for leadership, yet he was given a signet ring and a robe. Rags to riches, or enslavement of another kind, with responsibility. How could Joseph had refused a king. This story is found in Genesis. We can not steal or take someone else life from them. Enforcing them to do as we say. Freedom of choice to serve is something different. To entrap to steal a person life, is robbery. Have you ever enslaved someone. Then think again. Do not enslave why because it is a crime worthy of death the Bible says, yet by our laws it probably worthy of a long jail term. Dear Heavenly Father, help to think about how we treat people, not forcing them but giving them choice. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
