(12/11/2015) Different From ISIS/Daesh?

Today, reply is made to a charge that, through law and judgment, divinity operates as do terrorist groups.  Caliphate, covenant relationship, sin, and the worship of idols are topics along with reverence toward the Maker as the necessary condition wherein all created beings and living creatures are to exist.  Divine law has not been established to inhibit cleansing, correction, forgiveness, and repentance.  The operations of sin promote the elimination of divine law, Deity, and all that is, has been or ever will be put forth from GOD.  In the scheme of GOD the crime of a thief is not merely one of taking away from another some temporal object that will eventually break, or perhaps be lost anyhow.  The offense is against all law, divine order, and the universe that is laid out with myriad unseen streams in flux.  It is deceit and idolatry to promote any thing from finite imagination and mind as having authority, power, and divine substance that are to be obeyed, reverenced and worshiped as a god.  Included are buildings, family, freedom, land, military forces, money, sexual pleasure, and weapons.  Yet through sin, awareness, intellect and self-will in the living are led to manufacture abominations, abstractions, and false gods for deliverance, godliness, prosperity, and salvation.  By spiritual confusion human error is maintained as though generated from and approved by the Eternal One.  Readers are to realize, there have been caliphates before, and they failed to manifest the presence of GOD; for both mechanism and process must be of GOD.  Conflict, fear, pain, and violence can not be made to appear as the fruit of supreme righteousness.  Consider the following verses from the Bible, and the presentation below:  John 10:  9-11, King James Version (KJV):  9 I am the door:  by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:  I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  11 I am the good shepherd:  the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.  Also, John 18:  36-38, KJV:  36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:  if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews:  but now is my kingdom not from hence.  37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.  38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.  Psalms 115:  2-8, KJV:  2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?  3 But our God is in the heavens:  he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.  4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.  5 They have mouths, but they speak not:  eyes have they, but they see not:  6 They have ears, but they hear not:  noses have they, but they smell not:  7 They have hands, but they handle not:  feet have they, but they walk not:  neither speak they through their throat.  8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.  The fighter at “Yahoo!

In the bible, God prescribes the death penalty for worshiping other gods, adultery, and homosexuality. How is that different from ISIS/Daesh?

Deuteronomy 13 says to kill those who even think of worshiping other gods (no freedom of religion)
Leviticus 20:13 says to kill gays.
Leviticus 20:20 says to kill adulterers.
Why do ISIS and God agree so much?
Update: Is there some logical reason that God once held the same opinions as terrorists?


THE GOLDEN ARROW:  They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:   but what sayest thou?  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last:  and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee:  go, and sin no more.  (John 8:  4-11, KJV)

“King Apologist”, it is very difficult for most of us to correctly speak of ISIS, or the diverse followers of Islamic belief where we are properly grounded as disciples of Jesus Christ.  The  spiritual maturity that comes by having sacred knowledge and an imparted, indwelling Spirit from GOD is required to properly speak of divine intent.  Answering honestly, many would have to confess ignorance of what anyone else believes who does not demonstrate faith similar to their own, and made visible by sacred practices and works.  From my perspective as one willing to say, I am submitted to GOD (musleem) as was Abraham, ISIS advocates idolatry by focus upon a human solution (a government ruled by men; they say, caliphate) that is to be exalted above eternal purpose, divine law, and imparted Spirit.  For sake of the caliphate the living are to embrace death; forswear family, friends, homeland; deny the duty for those who are strong to protect children, civilians in wartime, the disabled, and those who are weak; and refuse all other contracts and covenants, even that of jihad-al-Akbar.

Those who left Egypt with Moses, were challenged to willingly enter agreement with a divinity whose character and nature are made known and revealed through creation, deliverance, judgment, prophecy, and covenant relationship.   Terms of the agreement included obedience to all commandments and proclamations of divine law as well as acceptance of operations by divinity to establish permanent changes within mankind upon the earth.  Israel was to become a peculiar people, and a nation formed in the image of GOD.  The new nation would be healed, purified, and set apart for continuing service and worship (we say, sanctified) through every aspect of exchange and interaction for its people.

A mixed multitude representing many nations joined those from the twelve tribes of Jacob requesting that GOD impose even the harshest punishments and death for transgression of divine law (we say, sin), rather than have GOD deny to them the special place of those who are partners in covenant with divinity.  As the instruments of Deity, the covenant people are in a process of continuous growth and transformation.  Thus, while Deity is eternal, immutable and unchanging, terms of the covenant may be altered, yet, not removed.  Responses made to created beings and living creatures appear as “new” through diversity, discovery, and the unfolding of perfection.

There is far more that must be said to fully shift a person’s understanding regarding that that is holy (i.e. having the active presence, and eternal purposes of divinity).  For example:  The sinful practices acquired by seeking to participate in the one-world empire of the Egyptians (i.e., assimilation) had to be reversed over time.  Almost immediately, while Moses was away in communion with GOD to receive the law written by the finger of GOD upon tables of stone, his brother Aaron, who was to serve as High Priest, led the people in worshiping the golden calf of Egypt.  The change we speak of only comes without upheaval and widespread destruction through grace, mercy, and divine prerogative.  Thousands of years later, 10 tribes would reject rule by the house of David.  Jeroboam, who was exiled to Egypt, would establish the Northern Kingdom (Israel); and to prevent the people being influenced by the requirement for all sacrifices to be made only at the Temple at Jerusalem, and returning to the Unified Kingdom—Jeroboam established worship of the golden calf.  Restoration for the house of David, and the continuing fulfillment of all covenant are to be seen as completely accomplished only where GOD will appear in flesh as Christ, Messiah, and Divinity Incarnate.  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith and willingness to be made spiritually mature.
