THE LAWS OF GOD - #10
The Tenth Commandment and Related Scriptures
God has set forth HIS Laws in the Holy Scriptures for ALL Mankind to
know--and obey (Proverbs 14:34 and Isaiah 60:12)!
10. THOU (you) SHALL NOT COVET!
(Exodus 20:17 - Deuteronomy 5:21)...
The Devil is known as the THIEF (John 10:10). Consequently, his
workers tend to be filled with inordinate lust to take away from
others, what God has granted and given to them. In turn, this tends
to drive them into conspiracies and plots for criminal activity
(Proverbs 1:10-19). But, God's People are NOT to participate in
any of this!
.A COMMON COVETOUSNESS - GREED (Avarice):
- ..1 WARNING AGAINST MATERIALISM:
while we (as Believers) are to yet be in this world, we are not to
be of it. So, we must be sure that we do not get our focus on
THINGS (Luke 12:15) nor on our physical needs and comforts
(Matthew 6:25-34). Rather, keep God as your A #1 Priority!
- ..2 WARNING AGAINST GREED (Lust for Money):
while money is
essential and vital as a tool to help us run our Society and meet
our daily needs, it is NOT to become our focus--nor our goal in
life, as that would expose us to works of the Devil (1 Timothy
6:6-10).
.B PLOTS AND CONSPIRACIES - SHADDY SCHEMES:
The Holy Scriptures plainly warn us not to participate in shady deals
or schemes (plots or conspiracies) that rob people of what God has
given them (Proverbs 1:10-19, 20:21, and 28:19-20), which all too often
come about by our yielding to the inordinate power of covetousness
(or avarice).
- ..1 AS ACCOMPLISHED:
if any plot or conspiracy should be discovered, before it was
brought to pass, the conspirators are to be puhished just as if
said crime had been committed! (Matthew 5:21-22 and 27-28) For,
the power and the organization to bring forth such crime was
clearly there, as well as the intention to do so--thus it is no
longer just a wicked thought or temptation, but has been conceived
into action and is now active MAJOR sin (James 1:14-15) However,
also consider, Freedom of Thought, and the Right of the individual
to be allowed to contemplate evil, under
LAW-9.D.1 INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM under Liberty
- ..2 COVER-UP (Endangerment):
those who discover or become aware of a crime, but do not report
it to authoities (or fail to take active steps against it), become
accessories to whatever crime is involved--and are as guilty as
those who participated directly in the crime, itself (Luke 17:3
and Acts 5:7-10).
C. HIGH CRIMES (Crimes against the Public, or Government):
Criminal activitiy that attacks the institutions, operations,
officials, or foundations of the Realm, become a more serious class of
crimes--High Crimes. For each God ordained government has the God
given Right to Protect and Defend itself from internal corruption!
- ..1 GANGSTERISM - ORGANIZED CRIME:
the predetermined collection, direction (supervision), and use
of criminal activities to, usually, gain unfair economic
advantage over People, and/or bringing then into economic
bondage to Powers that are not necessarily of the official
government of the Realm, thus attempting to destroy the free
commerce of the Realm's economy (Nehemiah 5:1-13).
- ..2 TREACHERY - SUBVERSION (Public Officials)
- ...a BRIBERY:
the use of money or other benefits to sway the judgements or
actions of Realm Officials in conducting their duties for the
Realm (Exodus 23:6-8; Deuteronomy 16:19; Job 15:34-35;
Psalms 26:9-10; Amos 5:8-12) Consequently, it is hereby
established as a standard Realm Policy that if any official
is offered any kind of a bribe, if he reports it to the proper
authorites for investigation, he can keep whatever has been
offered him (or be awarded it at the judgement concerning the
bribe at the conclusion of the inquirey)--so long as he does
not allow its influence to affect his judgement or proper
performance of his duties in the matter.
- ...b INORDINATE INFLUENCE:
while Realm Officials must have a heart, and be open to the
pleas and needs of Our subjects, no official should make any
decision nor take any action that is in respect of Blackmail,
Extortion, Death Threats, or any other evil threat to them (or
their Family)--for this exalts such actions to the status of
High Crimes! (See the lessor crimes for specific details.)
- ...c PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT:
as the Law is to be administered without undue bias, if the
Judge or Official has any personal relation to any of those
coming before him for action, then he should voluntarily step
down from that case--or be subject to punitive action if it
can be later shown that he acted with undue favor to the party
that he was familar with!
- ..3 HATE CRIMES GROUPS (Subversion):
normal Hate Crimes, either directed at Relam Officials or
perpetuated by Realm Officials, is to be considered a serious
High Crime! (See details under LAW-6.A.3
HATE CRIMES at the lessor crime of Murder.)
- ..4 REBELLION - ANARCHY (Resistance of Arrest):
to interfere with or obstruct an official of Our Realm in the
performance of his assigned duties is a very sever act of
rebellion (1 Kings 12:18-19; Romans 13:1-4). And to promote
riot or mob violence and the breakdown of proper civil order is
a very servere act of Anarchy (Acts 19:36-41). For both of
these are serious High Crimes and shall be dealt with severly!
- ..5 REALM GUARD EMPOWERMENT (National Police):
therefore, in addition to the normal local (State, District,
Provincial) Police, the whole Realm is entitled to greater
Police protection as a proper defense against High Crimes.
Consequently, under Court Order, and with the due presentation
of probably cause or suspicious evidence, said officers may be
given temporary suspensions of some of the Individual's Rights
to Privacy, in order to accurately determine if High Crimes are,
indeed, in progress. (See LAW-9.D.2
SEARCH AND SEIZURE under Liberty.)
(Included in this are Our TEMPLE GUARD (for investigating and
dealing with the corruption of Realm Officials) AND Our WOLF
GUARD (for investigating and dealing with Cultic Subversion of
Our Realm)!)
-
D. TREASON AND HIGH TREASON:
Criminal activity that is allied with or gives aid to Forgeign Powers
or Alien Governments in their attempts to destroy or conquer the Realm
(or its Ruling Dynasty). For each God ordained government has the
God given Right to Protect and Defend itself from Foreign Powers.
- ..1 TREASON (Crimes against the State or Nation):
every God ordained government has the legitimate God given Right
to maintain its own government and border integrity from Foreign
Powers or other governments (and from being subverted and taken
over by them). Consequently, those who ally themselves with such
enemies of the Realm that seek its downfall or destruction (or
curtailment of function, or jurisdiction)--or give aid and
assistances to such enemies, are not just involved in High Crimes,
but have become fully Treasonous (1 Kings 16:20; 2 Kings 11:14;
2 Chronicles 23:13)
- ..2 SECRECY AND COUNTER-ESPIONAGE (Sabotage):
all God ordained governments have the legitimate God given Right
to maintain confidentiality and secrecy over matters that are of
importance to them and their security (2 Kings 6:8-13;
1 Chronicles 19:3)--see also LAW-9.A.2.b
DIS-INFORMATION under Lying. Thus, breach of such official
secrecy, spying (or collecting of information for enemy Powers),
or acts of violence or destruction that interfere with such
secrecy become more than just High Crimes, but are fully Treason
(Numbers 13:16-17, 21:34; Joshua 2:1, 6:25; Judges 18:2, 14, 17;
2 Samuel 10:3; Galatians 2:4). (Also, see
LAW-6.C.2 MILITARY INTELLIGENCE under Laws of Combat.)
- ..3 HIGH TREASON (Crimes against the Ruling Dynasty):
all God ordained Heads of State or Sovereign Rulers have the
legitimate God given Right to maintain their rule, and to the
safety of their persons, and of their Family. Consequently,
crimes against the person of Our Realm's (Spiritual) Throne, or
his immediate Family (especially those in direct line of
succession) are not just Treasonous, but have become crimes that
are High Treason! (2 Kings 11:1; 2 Chronicles 22:10). Moreover,
included in this are acts that interfere with or obstruct the
reproduction of fit heirs for the Realm's Throne (Genesis 12:15,
20:2; 1 Samuel 8:13, 16), or their legitimate succession (Numbers
27:8-11, 36:6-9) or their appointed position (Genesis 49:3-4;
Deuteronomy 21:18-21).
- ..4 THRONE GUARD EMPOWERMENT:
therefore, in addition to the normal Realm Guard or National
Police, Our Realm (and Spiritual Throne) is entitled to even
greater Security and Police type protection and operations, as
a proper defense against Crimes of Treason and High Treason
(Proverbs 16:14 & 19:12; John 7:1, 19-20, 24).
EXTREME CASES (require sever methods):
Moreover, under the Throne's authority to Pardon, and with due
presentation of probably cause or suspicious evidence by said
officers, Royal Executioners may be given, by the direct
executive order of the Ruler (Matthew 26:47, 55-57), temporary
suspensions of some of the Individual's Rights to Privacy (or
even security of their Person), in order to accurately determine
if Crimes of Treason or High Treason are, indeed, in progress
(See LAW-9.D.2 SEARCH AND SEIZURE under
Liberty and LAW-6.C.2 MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
under Laws of Combat.)--and to effectively and speedily
neutralize their extreme threat to the Security of Our Realm
(Matthew 18:34; Luke 16:23-25; Revelation 14:10 & 20:10).
