God vs Government

There is a critical distinction between sins against God and crimes against one's country. Most transgressions against the Divine are not considered criminal offences by the state, and vice versa. 

Sometimes, God's commandments and a nation's laws may overlap, but this is not always true.

Practices like necromancy, sorcery, and idolatry - which the Holy Scriptures emphatically warn against - are rarely taken seriously or explicitly prohibited by secular governments and their constitutions. This provides a dangerous loophole that corrupt spiritual leaders can exploit.

Suppose your pastor engages in necromancy, sorcery or idolatry. In that case, they can manipulate cognitive dissonance by arguing that since these grievous sins against God are not technically illegal, their occult practices are permissible. They may even claim such activities are legitimate means of "seeking God," playing on their followers' inability to reconcile biblical truth with the legal system's silence.

For example, a pastor can assert that failing to pay tithes is a sin against God, even though it carries no civil or criminal penalties according to the government's laws. This misalignment between divine law and human law creates a hazardous disconnect.

The tragedy is that many people struggle to see necromancy, sorcery and idolatry as the utterly abominable sins they are when not explicitly criminalized by their society. This moral blindness enables corrupt spiritual leaders to blatantly violate God's commandments while sheltering behind the pretence of state-sanctioned legality.

Only by realigning one's perspective to prioritize unwavering obedience to God's immutable laws over the shifting sands of secular legalism can believers avoid being deceived into practising or tolerating these repugnant sins. Loyalty to the Eternal Lawgiver must supersede loyalty to any temporal, man-made legal code that affirms or ignores such iniquities.

Deut 13:4 - You shall:

1. Walk After Yahuah Elohaykem, and

2. Fear HIM, and

3. Guard HIS COMMANDMENTS, and

4. Obey HIS VOICE, and ye shall

5. Serve HIM, and

6. Cleave unto HIM.

 

These six imperatives spring forth from the mouth of the Eternal One Himself. He leaves no room for addition, subtraction or reinterpretation by human institutions or traditions. How Yahuah desires to be worshipped is inscribed immutably by His finger.

Man-made church doctrines and customs hold no divine sanction when they conflict with or neglect these six indispensable statutes. It is the highest arrogance for any religious system to instruct its adherents in ways of worship that violate even one of these eternally binding precepts.

Only humble surrender to obey Yahuah's bindingly prescribed patterns of walking, fearing, guarding, obeying, serving and cleaving can be considered true worship in His eyes.

All else is at best profitless religion and worst abominable idolatry. Let each soul carefully examine whether their fervent devotion aligns with these six sacred duties, or whether their service stems from polluted human indoctrination. The choice is binary - Yahuah's way or man's way. Only one leads to life.
