MURDER - NYOBS 39.07

MURDER

The Sixth Commandment actually reads – Thou shall do no murder.

First word

I feel I must talk about life before I can talk about Murder. 

First of all we are created in the Image of God; our very Life is a gift from God to us.

We are not our own; our body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

When murder takes place, it’s a sin; an attack against God that requires a penalty.

Exodus 20:13 – 6^th Commandment - Thou shall not KILL
¹³ Thou shalt not kill. (KJV)

Exodus 20:13 – 6^th Commandment - You shall not MURDER

13 You shall not murder. NIV

Gen 1:27 – We are created in the Image of God

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV

1 Peter 3:7 – Life is a gift

7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. NIV

1 Cor 6:19 – You are not your own

19 Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; NIV

Romans 6:23 – The penalty for Murder is death
²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

Wikipedia

·         Murder is the unlawful killing of another human being with Malice of Forethought.

·         It is a most serious crime worthy of the harshest of punishment, under the justification that commission of murder is highly detrimental to good order within a society.

·         In most countries, a person convicted of murder is typically given a long prison sentence, possibly a LIFE SENTENCE where permitted, and in some countries for such an act, the DEATH PENALTY may be imposed.

Murder under the New Covenant

·         For the progressive thinkers, I just have to get this said – I know what you are thinking.

·          Ten Commandments - You thought that under the New Covenant we were no longer under the Laws of the Ten Commandments or any of the other OT laws for that matter. - I have to say that is true, but you would still do well to keep them. - It’s in the book. -  NYOBS 30.09 CIRCUMCISION – NEW COVENANT RABBIT TRAIL

·         New Commandments - If you follow the Two Commandments of LOVE that were given by Jesus Christ, then you will want to keep the Ten Commandments.

·         Murder - Christ specifically mentioned Murder when he said “Love your neighbor as yourself”; that love does no harm to its neighbor. – So Murder is still a SIN.

Mark 12:28-31 – Two Commandments of Love

28 Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: `Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 

30 LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 

31 The second is this: `LOVE your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." NIV

Rom 13:8-10 – Love is the fulfillment of the Law

8 He who LOVES his fellowman has fulfilled the law.

9 The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."  LOVE does no harm to its neighbor.

10 Therefore LOVE is the fulfillment of the law. NIV

John 13:34 – Love one another

34 "A new command I give you: LOVE one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. NIV

Murder by Capital Punishment

·         Capital punishment is not forbidden in scripture, in fact it says if you shed a man’s blood, then your blood will be shed. – I’ll say it another way; if you kill somebody you get the Electric Chair, Gas Chamber, Lethal Injection, Guillotine, Hanging, or the Firing Squad.

·         You live in a Democracy where you have a right to choose which way you want to meet God. The Government just arranges the meeting.

·         There is a breakdown of moral fiber and punishment in America – It has become that there is no right and no wrong.  70% of the violent crimes are perpetrated by 7% of the male criminals –These are career criminals that should be locked up doing hard labor.

·         If Government would do what it is scripturally supposed to do and execute the MURDERER instead of allowing him to serve just a few years; MURDERS would drop to an all-time low. – But what if he is innocent? – If he’s a Christian, he will go to heaven; If not he is already bound for hell and what’s a few years early when you consider the length of eternity which is forever. Just saying

Exodus 20:13 – You shall not MURDER

13 You shall not murder. NIV

Genesis 9:6 – If you kill; you will be killed
⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man. (NKJV)

Murder by War

·         What does God say about killing in war? –If you are in the army, you have an oath of loyalty to the governing authorities who have been placed over you by God to protect the homeland, your family and keep the peace.

·         We are NOT forbidden to kill in war – It is our scriptural duty to defend our land and our families from those who would seek to do us harm us that includes Terrorist by any name.

Romans 13:1 – We are subject to those who govern us in War.
¹ Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. (NKJV)

Romans 13:2 – Resisting authority resists the ordinances of God
² therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

(NKJV)

Romans 13:3 – Our Government is a terror to EVIL
³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. (NKJV)

Romans 13:4 – Army executes wrath on those who practice EVIL
⁴ For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. (NKJV)

Romans 13:5 – Be subject for your conscience sake
⁵ Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.

(NKJV)

Romans 13:6-7 – Pay taxes, customs and honor to whom it’s due
⁶  For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.

⁷ Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. (NKJV)

DOOMSDAY CLOCK

• The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, starting in 1947, displayed a Doomsday Clock set at 7 minutes till midnight. This symbolizes how close these scientists feel we are to a nuclear Armageddon. 
• By 1991 with the cold war. it had moved back to 17 minutes, but since that time it has steadily moved forward closing the gap towards the total destruction of the world.
• By the year 1995, 14 minutes –- 1998, 9 minutes –- 2002, 7 minutes –- 2007, 5 minutes.
• Then on Jan 14, 2010, The Doomsday Clock was set back a single minute in its 63-year history of 7 minutes that it started with. This moved the clock back from 5 minutes before midnight to 6 minutes. - But by Jan 10, 2012 the clock was moved back to 5 minutes again.
• With China flaunting its nuclear weapons and the ISIS Muslim Terrorist advancing in their weaponry, we can expect the Doomsday Clock to move forward again soon. – God says to pray for our enemies; pray for the Muslim Terrorist; unknowingly they are ALL destined for Hell.
• NOTE:  Man has never invented a weapon that he has not used.

Murder by Terrorism

·         From Abraham, emerged TWO NATIONS; his first born was Ishmael born of Hagar, a maid servant and would be the progenitor of the Muslims and Islamic religion and Isaac born of Sarah, a free woman would be the progenitor of the Jews and Christian religion.

·          Islam claims to be a religion of peace, but its writings requires the execution or MURDER of the infidels; the Jews and Christians, those that do not embrace the doctrines of Islam. I’ll say it another way; Islamic terrorist have a sworn vow to KILL us. - NYOBS 29.24 – THE CASE FOR CHRISTIANITY – MUSLIM RABBIT TRAIL

• The Quran given to the “Last Prophet” Mohammad, is the perfect revelation of Allah.
• The Hadith is a collection of sayings, deeds and behavior of Mohammad including; eating, sleeping, praying, mating, planning revenge on his enemies and dispensing justice. - These actions were considered the actions of “Allah”.  A good Muslim will do these same things as well as name their children Mohammad.  The Hadith in some sects is followed more than the Quran and its sayings can supersede the Quran.
• Sura 19:96 – Allah has no affection for any creature.  Love is conditional on good works.
• Sura 5:75 – Christ, the son of Mary was no more than a messenger. Many were the messengers that passed away before him.
• Sura 4:157 – Christ did not die on the cross, but was made to appear so.
• Sura 3:129 – Allah has predestined some to paradise and some to hell.
• Sura 32:13 – Allah sends to hell whomever he wants.  He created a multitude of spirits and men specifically for the purpose of sending them to hell.
• Sura 9:5 – When the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, seize them; lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war).
• Hadith 2:483 – I have been ordered to fight the people till they say, Allah be worshipped.
• Sura 9:29 – Muslims are inspired to fight people who do not accept the religion of Islam.
• Sura 5:33 – Those who wage war against Allah and his messenger (there fate) is execution or crucifixion or the cutting off of hands and feet on opposite sides or exile.
• Hadith 9:57 – Whoever changes his Islamic religion should be killed.
• Hadith 1:505 – Anyone who dies in a Jihad will have a prominent place in paradise.
• Hadith 9:459 – Anyone who engages in a holy war (jihad) will be admitted into paradise with his reward of booty.
• Sura 78:33 – In paradise man can have many women.
• Mohammad: “He, who relinquishes his faith; kill him.  I have been ordered by Allah to fight with people till they testify there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger”.
• Ayatollah Khomeini: “The purest joy in Islam is to kill and to be killed for Allah”.
• There can be no peace with the Jews or Christians or any other non-Islamic people; and that if peace must be made, only a truce is permissible and that “for a maximum of 10 years as an expedient to hone our swords, whet our blood and strengthen our will.” 
• Islamic Extremist is a misnomer - If you follow Islam, the Quran and the Hadith, then none are extremist, they ALL HATE non-Muslims; their mission is to convert or kill us in the name of Allah.
• Side Bar:  Muslims believe it is the will of God for Islam to rule the world.  Islamic law stipulates that to fulfill Muhammad’s task, every “infidel domain” must be considered a territory of war.  Moris Farhi author The Last Days
• America was founded with the Church and State separated, giving people a “Free Nation” where they can worship their religion the way they want to, NOT as the state or a monarchy dictated.  Why would anybody leave their own country and go to another country that is FREE to worship as they choose, just to kill these people because they don’t worship the same way you do?

·         According to scripture; Ishmael the progenitor of Islam and the Muslim Terrorist, will be a WILD MAN; a wild ass, a wild donkey; and his hand will be against every man. – It in the Book

·         Satan came to KILL, Steal and Destroy and walks about like a roaring lion seeking who he might devoir.

·         Jesus came to give LIFE and to give it more abundantly – He teaches to Love your enemies.

JEHOVAH FATHERED CHRISTIANITY - WHO DO YOU THINK FATHERED ISLAM?

1 Peter 5:8 Satan walks about seeking someone to devour
⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

 (NKJV)

John 10:10 - Satan comes to Kill – Jesus came to bring Life
¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

(NASB)

Genesis 16:11-12 – Ishmael will be against every man
¹¹ And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; (Islam - Muslims) because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
¹² And he will be a wild man; (Ass, Donkey) his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Murder in Peace Time

·         David had killed thousands of men in war and then when he was in peace, he had just one man killed in cold blood and God stopped him dead in his tracks. – God told him that he had done evil; the he had despised the Word of the Lord. - He had now broken the close relationship that he had with the Lord.

·         David had a desire to build God a Temple, but God said NO; that he was a man who had shed innocent blood; he had blood on his hands. – His son Solomon would build it.

2 Samuel 12:9 – David had Bathsheba’s Husband Uriah killed
⁹ Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

(NIV2011)

1 Chronicles 28:3 – You have shed innocent blood
³ But God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’

¹⁸ But the LORD said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name.
¹⁹ Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’ (NIV2011)

Murder - Criminals

·         If a thief breaks in to my home; threatens my family; am I justified in shooting to KILL?

·         The Bible says YES’ - If a Thief breaks into your home… SHOOT HIM… You have God’s permission – You have a God given right to protect your home and family.

·         Go get your Cancelled Weapons Permit Today. – Go practice at the shooting range.  Take the thief out. – It’s NOT a sin; it’s a public service.

·         Legally I would go on to say that if the thief is leaving your home, he is no longer a threat to you and your family and there is no longer a reason to take his life, although a little bird shot in the butt would help identify him later. – Of course; then there’s the nut case who would come back seeking revenge. -  Lots to think about in this equation. – Just saying -

Exodus 22:2 – SHOOT THE THIEF
² If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is NOT GUILTY of bloodshed; (NIV2011)

Government Laws

·         Dwight Eisenhower said “If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison.  They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads.  But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must NOT bow his neck to ANY Dictatorial Government.

·         The Government Leader, King Herod told the wise men to come and tell him where the baby was found so He could worship too… The Wise men obeying God and went home another way.

·         The Government Leader, The king of Egypt told the Midwives to kill all the Hebrew boy babies… But the Midwives defied the government; obeyed God and let the boy babies live.

·         When the Government CONDONES what God CONDEMNS, you are under the mandate of heaven to obey God. (John Hagee – Ten Commandments)

·         Peter said we should OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN.

John 8:44 - Satan was a murderer from the beginning
⁴⁴ You belong to your father, the devil - He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (NIV2011)

Murder by Suicide

·         Suicide is an ultimate act of selfishness and self-centeredness – People make a mess of their lives and then leave others to deal with what they could not.  King Saul did it, Judas did it and so did Hitler.

·         Sin Factor - The sin factor is created by the knowing factor. To him who knows to do right and does not do it; to him it is sin.  

·         Question - Is someone who committed suicide in Hell? - Next Question - Did they know what they were doing when they did it? – Only God can decide - NYOBS 09:19 Suicide, Euthanasia 

• Suicide is Murder - It is not condoned in scripture, it’s a sin - However it’s not the un-pardonable sin – This sin can be forgiven.
• Assisted Suicide – Jonah knew it was wrong to take his own life, so he asked others to throw him off the ship to calm the sea. – King Saul asked someone else to take his life.
• Ultimately man is responsible for his own actions, - However your actions may have contributed to someone else taking their own life. – By purpose, you may have provided the means and assistance for the loss of this life, or perhaps you inadvertently contributed to “the environment” and “thought process” which led up to the loss of life. – This complicity is something that you should seek God’s forgiveness for. (I know this is a heavy statement)

1 Samuel 31:4 – Saul made a mess - stabbed himself - Suicide
⁴ Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it. (NKJV)

31 And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy WILL BE FORGIVEN men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. NIV

1 John 1:8-9 – If we confess sin, we will be forgiven.

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

9 If we CONFESS OUR SINS, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. NIV

Murder by Abortion

MURDER BY ABORTION BRINGS AMERICA UNDER A CURSE FROM GOD.

·         The author of Abortion is Satan who comes to Kill - Jesus Christ came to give life and to give it more abundantly.

·         The Declaration of Independence – “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. - The Constitution of America guarantees that the unborn child has a right to life.

·         Pro-Choice – As you read this, I know that you are glad that you mother didn’t choose to abort you. - Pro-choice ends when you decide to have SEX. – You have made your choice.

·         WHAT DOES GOD SAY?

a)    It’s an abomination to God when you sacrifice your children through abortion where they wind up cremated.  It’s like offering a sacrifice to the Fire God Molek.

b)    A Woman does NOT have a right over her own body; her Body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit – YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN

c)    A fetus is considered human life, because the life of the flesh is in the blood. – God says where there is blood, there is life.

d)    The fetus “presence” is recognizes by God in the womb as He calls this person by name. Before we were formed in the belly, He knew us; our characteristics, our name, our mission and our purpose.

e)    The fetus has personality, it’s not just a blob of meaningless flesh. - When Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth, her baby “John the Baptist” leaped in the womb at the presence of Jesus. – In the womb of Rebecca’s, God recognized the presence of Two Nations.

f)    Is there a penalty to pay for the doctor who aborts the child? - If harm comes to the fetus - Then you shall give Life for Life.  – It’s a living soul known to God. - It’s in the book.

g)    There is judgment on Legislators who pass legislation making such godless things possible. – America is under a curse for shedding innocent blood. God says; Woe to the legislators that decree unrighteous Laws - The anger of God will not be turned away from them – They will answer to God for laws that they have been passed.

h)    The innocent blood cries out to God. -  It causes the land to be defiled and come under the judgment of God because of the spilling of this innocent blood. – Blood from the abortion clinics that are screaming out for justice. – Over 40 million Americans have been murdered through abortions. – AMERICA IS PAYING THE PRICE FOR THIS.

·         God is bringing judgment on this nation through Earthquakes, flood, drought, uncontrollable fires, economic collapse, and TERRORISM.

·          God sends EBOLA; a wasting disease with fever which will plague us until we pass away.  He will send blindness, madness and an anxious mind, confusion of mind, weary eyes, a longing and a despairing heart with constant suspense and dread.  There will be painful boils, tumors, itch and our wives will become sterile and not able to bare children. – We are already plagued with HIV because of our Gay Rights. - NYOBS 02.02 - HOMOSEXUALITY.

·         Then FIRES, FLOODS, drought, blight, mildew, locust, hunger and thirst.  – Is this sounding familiar? – There’s more if you care to read it for yourself. 

·         It’s enough to make you hit the floor on your knees and beg, NOT ALLAH, but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; JEHOVAH GOD for mercy. – America has turned her back on God and fallen under a curse.

·         I have listed the 45 “Verses of Curses” that disobedience brings on the land, but I will sum it up right here – The Lord will bring Nations against us from far away. – The foreigners who reside among us will rise above us - A people that we do not know will eat from our land and labor – They will rape our women - We have seen this already with the twin towers of 911, and now we have ISIS and the MUSLIM TERRORIST.

¹⁵  However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these CURSES will come on you and overtake you:
¹⁶  You will be CURSED in the city and CURSED in the country.
¹⁷ Your basket and your kneading trough will be CURSED.
¹⁸ The fruit of your womb will be CURSED, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
¹⁹ You will be CURSED when you come in and CURSED when you go out.
²⁰ The LORD will send on you CURSES, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.
²¹ The LORD will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.

²³ The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.
²⁴ The LORD will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
²⁵ The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth.
²⁶ Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
²⁷ The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured.
²⁸ The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind.
²⁹ At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
³⁰ You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and RAPE HER. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.
³¹ Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them.
³² Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand.
³³ A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days.

³⁵ The LORD will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
³⁶ The LORD will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.
³⁷ You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the LORD will drive you.
³⁸ You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it.
³⁹ You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
⁴⁰ You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off.
⁴¹ You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity.
⁴² Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
⁴³ The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower.
⁴⁴ They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
⁴⁵ All these CURSES will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.
⁴⁶ They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever.
⁴⁷ Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity,
⁴⁸ therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
⁴⁹  THE LORD WILL BRING A NATION AGAINST YOU FROM FAR AWAY, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand,
⁵⁰  a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young.
⁵¹ They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined.
⁵² They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the LORD your God is giving you.
⁵³ Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the LORD your God has given you.
⁵⁴  Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children,
⁵⁵  and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.
⁵⁶  The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter
⁵⁷  the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
⁵⁸  If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God—
⁵⁹  the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.
⁶⁰ He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you.
⁶¹ The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
⁶² You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the LORD your God.
⁶³ Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
⁶⁴ Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.
⁶⁵ Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart.
⁶⁶ You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.
⁶⁷ In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.
⁶⁸ The LORD will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you. (NIV2011)

Murder by Slander

·         Murder by Toxic Tongue – Verbal Garbage – Poison - Slander – Assassinate a man’s character - The power of life and death is in the tongue. –

·         When we were kids we would sing “Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but words can never harm me”, but that’s just not true. – Words can KILL hope, dreams, friendships, happiness, reputation, and become a wound that never heals. - The tongue is set of fire by hell itself.

·         A wholesome tongue is a tree of life. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable unto you O God. 

·         When you stand silent while your friend is being slandered, you are an accomplice to murder.

·         Words are easily dropped; words spoken in anger, bitterness and retaliation can never be picked up again. - Even though God can forgive; the damage is done forever.

·         Every idle word spoken will be given account for on The Day of Judgment – by them you will be condemned and by them you will be justified.

·         Jesus was slandered – The critics made the living truth of Jesus Christ sound like a lie.

a)    He said he was the Son of God, but He was actually a blasphemer.

b)    He said He could forgive sin, but who can forgive sin but God.

c)    He said he could raise the temple in three days; no one can do that.  

d)    He is a drunkard; a demonized heretic – He’s an insurrectionist; He is too dangerous to live.

·         STOP IT - Examine yourself and ask for forgiveness today. … Call upon Him while He may be found - Life is Choice driven – It’s your choice, you can kill with a gun as well as your tongue. - You will answer for every idle word, thought and deed.
