Are Unjust Laws Taking People to Hell?

In the second scenario, according to God’s Law, the activist is guilty of murder.

Here’s why, copied from this article that you ought to read in its entirety.

The Difference Between Murder and Homicide

“Now, some say today, “murder” is a strong word. Let’s say they were “homicides,” may be as a result of the use of excessive force, but not necessarily driven by malice or criminal intent. This claim is based on lack of understanding of the Biblical Law. But does the Biblical Law actually speak of the difference between murder and homicide?’

“Yes, it does. A special section in the Law speaks about that difference: Numbers 35:15-28. The first part, vv. 15-21, explains the case for murder:’

These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the alien and for the sojourner among them; that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there. But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. If he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he might die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him. If he pushed him of hatred, or threw something at him lying in wait and as a result he died, or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, and as a result he died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer; the blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.

“The second part explains the case for unintentional homicide:”

But if he pushed him suddenly without enmity, or threw something at him without lying in wait, or with any deadly object of stone, and without seeing it dropped on him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor seeking his injury, then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the blood avenger according to these ordinances. The congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.

“Obviously, the distinction between homicide and murder is in the intention of the killer. But how can we read the mind of a person to know the intention? Since we can’t read minds, the Law gives the solution: Look at what’s in the hand of the killer, and how it is used. If it’s a weapon specifically designed to kill (an iron object), the killer must be clearly tried for murder – I say “must be tried,” because there is still a special case of lawful use of weapons which will be examined below. If the weapon was not specifically designed to kill (stone or wood object), but the movements of the killer’s hand showed intention to strike, then he must be tried for murder, again, allowing for the special case of lawful use of weapons. It’s that simple.”

So, in the second scenario in the video, the activist was guilty of murder under God’s law. If a cop did such a thing, and many have, (many examples having been posted on Youtube) , they take a few paid days off while it is investigated, and are almost always found to be justified and put back on duty. The guy will go the rest of his life thinking he was justified, while in God’s sight, he’s guilty of murder.

Now, the question of whether that takes him to hell can never be answered specifically by us. It’s a case by case basis. Even a murderer commits many other sins that are adequate to take him to hell. And if the murderer cop is not a Christian and never becomes a Christian, you could always say that he should have sought Christ for the forgiveness of his lying, even if he didn’t think he was guilty of murder.

But how can adding such a serious sin to his account help the guy? I don’t think the Bible gets too specific on the punishment for specific sins, but I shudder to think the harm that having unbiblical laws in this country is having on the souls of men.

For the Christian cop who commits murder and gets away with it civilly, his past, present, and future sins are forgiven. His intentional sins are forgiven, and the sins he commits out of ignorance are forgiven. Because Jesus’ blood is of infinite value, and He took all the sins of the elect on the cross. But Christians need to start thinking more clearly on this. This is a big deal.

Then, there is the doctrine of bloodguilt, where if murderers habitually go unpunished in a society, the ground is going to cry out for justice. And we will all suffer for the murder of babies and the murders that aren’t brought to justice because of the unjust laws of our government.

Here’s more about the doctrine of bloodguilt.

No Greater Love

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).

Cops are supposed to serve and protect, but that’s not the vibe I get from them anymore. They seem more like an occupying army.

This shows the contrast between Jesus’ words and the attitude of cops perfectly.

Fire John MacArthur!

I have a John MacArthur study Bible. In general, he’s one of the best big-name pastors around. I would agree with him on 90% of things he says. But, for some reason he’s way off on this topic.

In fact, if I understand correctly, Bob Vernon was the assistant chief of the LAPD, and is an elder at this church. When Operation Rescue was in LA, blocking the doors to abortion clinics with hundreds of people, Vernon sought counsel on how he should handle these peaceful Christian protesters, doing a good thing. Apparently, MacArthur told Vernon to arrest them, and they had a sadistic heyday doing so.

So I made the video below with an encouraging quote from Bojidar Marinov. You can watch the video here, or if you’d like to comment and like it, you can click on the little Youtube logo in the bottom right that comes up after you hit play.

Blue Lives Matter Less Than Our Rights

Our rights come from God. If they come from the chicken scratch on the Bill of Rights, we have no rights, because if men grant rights, men can take them away.

The reason we have a right to life, is because the Bible says, “You shall not murder.” The reason we have a right to property is because it says, “You shall not steal.” Government is included in those laws. They can’t legalize murder (abortion) or theft (rampant, ubiquitous socialism). If they attempt to do so, they’re only going to bring this country under God’s wrath.

  1. Our rights come from God’s law.
  2. No one is as important as God’s law.
  3. Therefore, blue lives matter less than our rights.

The sooner we get this through our thick skulls, the better off we’ll be.

When cop worshipers say blue lives matter, of course, I agree with the plain meaning of that phrase. Every human life is valuable, and everyone has the right to life. But, I’m afraid they often mean more than the plain meaning.

Cops aren’t held to the same standard as everyone else. When cops tell you to put out your cigarette, they expect that you dang well better do it, or they have the right to start pushing you around and arrest you. God forbid, someone actually defend themselves against government aggression. The doctrine of “blue lives matter” means they then have the right to blow you away, even if you’re not armed.

However that isn’t the teaching of the Bible. According to God’s law, the first person to draw a gun or a deadly weapon can be killed in self-defense (Numbers 35:16-21, Exodus 22:2-3). Cops don’t have special rights. Bystanders or other cops would be free of guilt in God’s eyes for killing the cop who drew his gun.

If someone doesn’t have a deadly weapon, they can’t be killed. That would be murder in God’s sight. By this standard, Darren Wilson murdered Michael Brown. Eric Garner was murdered. Freddie Gray was murdered. The murderers in the first two cases have gotten off scot free.

Soldiers have died for our rights. Christians martyrs have died for our rights. They have died to uphold God’s law against tyrants down through the centuries. I hope that if I’m called on to die for my rights or anyone else’s rights (that are consistent with God’s law) I would do so. My life and everyone else’s life matters less than God’s law and our rights. But cops don’t act like it. They act like they’d rather blow you away than risk a bruise.

Give me liberty or give me death, because my life isn’t as important as my rights or God’s law.

There Are No Good Cops

 

painA lot of my conservative, Christian friends keep telling me that the vast majority of cops are good and it’s only a very small percentage of officers who get plastered all over the news and make a bad name for all the good cops. I acknowledge that most police/citizen interactions are peaceful and go unnoticed. But is never being on the news beating an unarmed citizen with a night stick all that is required to be a good cop?

A popular slogan among cops is, “I don’t make the laws, I just enforce them.“ That is the issue. A good cop can’t just check his conscience at the door and blindly follow orders. There are a lot of bad laws in this country–not just bad laws, but evil laws. A good cop can’t enforce an evil law. He must do something to stand against evil as all Christians are commanded (Ephesians 5:11). A cop who enforces an unjust law isn’t a good cop.

The first few minutes of the video below debunks the fantasy that a large percentage of cops are good. In it, you see dozens of cops arresting abortion protesters. The discussion in the video is about how the abortion protesters were treated unnecessarily rough. Every cop there was enforcing man’s law, and ignoring the fact that God’s law condemned them. The purpose of their abuse was to make a religious statement: “We have no king but Caesar.”

But to only talk about the broken bones is missing what may be the most important point. These abortion protesters are standing against the murder of babies, while the cops are standing with the abortionists. The cops are blindly following orders and protecting the business of butchering babies. That is not an option for a good cop. It is certainly not an option for a Christian cop. All the cops who were there participating are wicked cops.

If there had been good cops there, or Christian cops, they would have had no choice but to refuse to follow orders, leave the scene, or even sit down with the protesters.

The politicians and Supreme Court can decree all the evil laws they want, but those tyrants need muscle on the street willing to threaten, and carry out violence, or they’re just blowing hot air. Unfortunately, the tyrants have had no trouble finding plenty of bad cops willing to blindly enforce the law. And all too many of those bad cops claim to be Christians.

If, as my friends contend, the vast majority of cops are good, abortion would be over tomorrow. Christians could go down to the abortion clinic, block the doors, and the cops would stand with them against evil, because they’re good cops. We all know that won’t work, because cops and abortionists are allies. Abortionists rest easy at night knowing there are no good cops.

Dozens of Evil Cops

You really only have to watch a few minutes if you like. Here is what Mr. Marinov had to say about this video, and there were also several interesting comments I’ll include.

Bo said, “A conversation today reminded me of this documentary on police brutality, which I have watched many times with my friends from Operation Rescue.

Here, cop-worshipers, is your beloved police. Brutally torturing peaceful protesters against abortion, on the streets, in full view of the public. Not a single good cop there, out of hundreds. Not a single cop with a conscience; all brute beasts who eagerly jump at the opportunity to beat defenseless people, including pregnant women and old men, to break bones, or to inflict pain in any possible way just for the sheer pleasure of seeing their victims in pain. Sadistic perverts: this is the real description of your uniformed “heroes.” And some of these sadistic perverts would then go to church on Sunday morning, and false shepherds like John MacArthur would praise them for what they had done and even hold services in their honor.

Operation Rescue was very effective, despite the bad press it got. If it had continued, abortion would have been stopped back then, in the 80s, not by a political decision but by a grass roots movement.

Who then got in the way to thwart Operation Rescue?

The cops. Yes, it was your beloved, worshiped, “good” cops who went to the streets and applied every single ounce of brutality they could to protect the abortion mills from Operation Rescue.

Go ahead, worship the cops. Without them, we wouldn’t have thousands of babies murdered every day.”

Another commenter said,

Bob Vernon, LA Asst. Chief of Police, and elder in McArthur’s church was overseeing the torture that day. I wasn’t there but dear brother in the Lord, and former Las Vegas cop, Chet Gallagher, as I recall, was pleading with McArthur’s elder to stop the torture…to no avail.

Patrol officer, Greg Vande Kamp, in Sioux Falls, SD, and active in his Reformed church, hesitated when it came to arresting us back in the mid 1990s. (He had even asked me to come by his home where he begged me to give him an advance notice of the date of our rescue attempts, so that he could call in sick. I refused.) It was soon after he parted with his conscience and personally arrested me that he started rising in the ranks. He’s now a Captain and it wouldn’t surprise me if he made Chief one day…on the blood of the babies and in the name of Christ. Sioux Falls PD used mild “pain compliance”.

Bo said, “[A cop] can choose to participate in injustice, or choose to not participate in injustice. The position doesn’t justify participation in injustice. If cops had refused to follow orders, things would be different. Police chiefs took part in it willingly, self-consciously, as part of their assertion of police power. It was a religious statement by all, politicians, cops, and pastors. And the religious statement was: “We have no King but Caesar.” All of them are guilty.”

————————————————–

Some other commenter said, “I have a friend who is now a full-time pro-life activist who once was a cop who refused to arrest pro-lifers. He was fired when he was less than a year away from his retirement and pension. I admire him for his sacrifice. But I’d rather have guys like that on the police force than fired. I don’t blame the ones who are reasonable and still work within the corrupt system. We live in a fallen world. Sometimes the Daniels have to face the fiery furnace. But other times they can accept promotions within the system and function as prophets of God.”

————————————————–

Bo said, “I have been friends with some of the people in this video for 15 years now. Joseph Foreman (one of the speakers in the video) was my first true friend in the US, and my first church elder. I lived 6 months in his home as part of his family. I am still close friends with many of them. Some of them spent time in jail because of their involvement with OR, all of them had to go through confiscations, having lost their court cases to Planned Murderhood. Yes, it’s the same Planned Murderhood that is in the focus today that forced many of them into poverty.

And guess what: The cops were the ground troops for Planned Murderhood and for the abortion mills. It was not OR vs. the abortionists. On the street, it was the cops who fought for the murder of infants more than the abortionists themselves. In some cities, abortion mills were closing because of OR; abortionists were giving up. It was the police that never gave up in their fight for institutionalized murder. Without the cops, abortion would have been history by now.”

————————————————–

Bo said, “That’s why I am so outraged by statements of tyrannical cops like Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee, who said, “If black lives mattered, they would be protesting in front of the abortion clinics.” The truth is, Milwaukee has always had very strong protests against abortions, and Clarke has always been a muscle man for the abortionists, not a fighter against them.

Police must be abolished. It is an agent of tyranny and wickedness, not of law and order. We don’t need police.”

This is Insane

Kids can be irrational. My 3 year-old son said that when he grows up, he wants to be a truck. If they’re tired, they say things that are truly crazy while sobbing.

When they sob uncontrollably, you do what you can to calm them down and put them to bed. To me, it sounds like this kid is tired or frustrated. I seriously doubt that the best way to calm him down is have a man with a gun handcuff him.

Of course the real problem isn’t that a cop handcuffed someone else’s 8 year old for acting like an 8 year old. The problem is that the 8 year old is in a government school when his parents should be educating him at home as the Bible commands. The problem is that we’ve all been stolen from via taxes to support this insane, ridiculous system. The problem is public school. There should be no such thing as forced taxation and government education.

I hope these parents have learned their lesson, but I doubt it. They’ll sue the school district, win some money, and send their kid back to that same school. No one can take care of your kids and teach your kids like you can. That’s a parent’s job.

Poke, Poke

Ray Comfort posted on Facebook, saying it’s a good idea to meekly obey police, because they have a gun. I certainly agree that if you argue or assert your rights or defy a petty tyrant, you may not like the consequences.

There were a lot of people who responded to his post; some said good things and some said bad. I went through and commented on several people’s comments, poking them with a stick, hoping to provoke a conversation.

First of all, I don’t like Facebook for conversation. With hundreds of comments on Comfort’s post, there’s no way for me to find out whether anyone responded to me unless I just go through and search. Maybe there’s a way and I just don’t know it.

Here is one such scenario:

Jason Kauffman said:

Less than 1% of the police force are corrupt. So for those of you trying to justify police brutality and make yourself a victim, you have a 99% of nothing negative happening when you do what an officer says. That’s better odds than Vegas.

Molly Morris said:

None? Not one? Bill please tell me you are not that ignorant. My husband is a man of the Lord. He is a protector, a provider, a Godly husband and a devoted father. The LORD put in his heart to protect and serve the people of this nation, so he became a Marine. He was again called to protect the people of our community, so he became a police officer. for you to make blanket statements about there being no good police officers is to truly disagree with God’s own plan and design for my husband’s life. If that is honestly what you believe then I feel sorry for you sir, and I will pray for you, to bring your heart into full submission to the Lord

Jason Kauffman said:

Bill your smarter than that, unless you’re 7. Are you 7 Bill? Cause then I would understand your lack of knowledge.

Juli Adcock said:

Bill, apparently you are not familiar with how our system of governance has been set up. The sovereign power first resided with God who gave us liberty to include choosing our leaders. When the citizens of this nation do a poor job of choosing representation, laws and court rulings such as abortion “rights” happen. If you are pointing fingers at police officers, I hope you realize that there are 3 pointing back at you.

——————————

I said:

Juli said, “When the citizens of this nation do a poor job of choosing representation, laws and court rulings such as abortion “rights” happen.” That is my point exactly. We have arrived at the point where the laws of this nation are corrupt and evil. Who should we blame? There is plenty of blame to go around. But the pagan laws of this nation are enforced by police. What do you think would happen if the “Christian” cops quit checking their conscience at the door, and quit enforcing pagan laws?

Molly, Your husband is not a good cop or a good man. He enforces our evil laws by threatening people with violence. He may be saved, but he only continues in his wicked job because Christians like you all don’t know the Bible. I hope your husband doesn’t enforce laws that are contradictory to God’s law. He won’t stand before God and say he was just following orders. http://AbolishThePolice.com

Good cops don’t remain cops for very long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ij0e_mfWs

I messaged Molly and Juli to notify them of my comment, but I never heard anything else from them.
