Jehovah's Law V/S /Man's Law

When the law of Jehovah, conflicts with the Law of man, it marks the beginning of the prosecution of Jehovah’s faithful followers. Biblical and secular history bear record of such prosecutions.

We learnt of Daniel, whose efforts to follow Jehovah’s law (in particular the third commandment) became a challenge after King Darius suddenly changed the law to feed his own ego; as a results, Daniel was thrown into the Lion’s den for following his custom and freely worshiping Jehovah: the God of his fathers. Then there were the three Hebrew boys, who took the same stance for Jehovah as Daniel did and refuse to worship the golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar: the blazing furnace was their portion.

There were the prosecution of the early Christians by Roam, for the belief and worship of Jesus Christ as the son of Jehovah; and there came the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was a period of spiritual apostasy. This was a period when there was a one world political power and the political and spiritual leadership was one and the same. In this era, Christian were prosecuted, not because they had apostatized, but because they chosen to worship Jehovah in spirit and in truth. Therefore all of the strange beliefs, practice and Satan inspired rituals became normal and eventually became laws. These new laws directly conflicted with Jehovah’s laws. As a result of the institution of such laws, Jehovah’s faithful children became victim of political and religious prosecution; such prosecution was executed by the church and the state which was unified and shared a common leader, as is present in Vatican City today.

Unfortunately once again the spiritual, social and political tides are changing and the structures are being put into place to facilitate a fresh spate of Christian prosecution. Soon Jehovah’s children/the followers of Jesus Christ will once again become victims of the legal system. The fast pace at which Spiritual and moral values are degrading are reasons for concern. While Jehovah’s law is being trampled upon and the morality that was responsible for keeping the fabric of society neatly woven together are ripped apart, Jehovah’s people finds pleasure as they experiments with sin. By their own design, they fall victims to the lust of the flesh, becomes slaves to appetite, are prisoners of greed, and are held captives of their indulgences.

Such turning away from Jehovah and his words, makes it impossible for his representatives to lend an opposing voice against the ills, the wishes and the demand of those who hate Jehovah, his law and his righteousness

Because there are no light emanating from the people who have answered Jehovah’s call and have chosen to shine their light to the world; a perpetual darkness engulfed the world filling the void that was left by Jehovah’s followers. As a result men are left to stumble about in the dark, as Satan places the delight of the flesh, rapped in attractive packages before them. They are persuaded that their Devil inspired thoughts, and practice are acceptable and right. And in their effort to ease their consciences and to achieve a feeling of Justification in their defilement; they move to influence the legislature to enact laws that goes totally contrary to Jehovah’s laws.

Today; we have seen the strength and speed at which the crusade for the legalization of homosexuality and an imposed acceptance of their defile practice are moving at. We are confronted with the action to enact laws to merge their defile practice with Jehovah’s secret institution of marriage.

The wide spread acceptance and the enacting of laws which will force Jehovah’s people to accept and perform marriage ceremony to unite homosexual in the holy institution of marriage, will mark it difficult for Jehovah people to live their faith. This seemingly simple and harmless fate will escalate into graver and graver punishment for people who fail or refuse to comply with the law as well as those who refused to accept such defile practice as right and normal.

Then Jehovah’s people will be asked to compromised more and more of Jehovah’s laws in order to be ensured a secure existence on this earth. But the question we are confronted with is: who should take precedence Jehovah and his laws or mans defile impositions?

All this is rapidly coming to a climax and this is so because the people who are called by Jehovah’s name are too afraid to let their objective voices be heard or to stand up for that which is right.

The behavior and attitudes of Jehovah’s followers often make the all powerful, Creator of the Universe ashamed, give the devil the right to laugh in the face of his creator and our creator/redeemer for giving his son for his creation: man, how hates him as much as he does.

How To Treat A False or Fallen Prophet

The media is the perfect reminder of how unscrupulous man has become. And unfortunately, such unscrupulous behaviors have infiltrated the church of the living God Jehovah. Today men have seen the church and Jehovah’s words as a major investment opportunity. An opportunity where they pray on the hope and trust of the people, whose belief is anchored in the love of Jehovah; the faith of Jesus and the working of the Holy Spirit.

These people operate in the realms of deception and when deception fails, they resort to the use of guilt to play on the consciences of the believers in order to:

1. Get their loyalty
   
2. Their money
   
3. Their trust
   
4. And their obedience

But Jehovah is an awesome God, and he does not take it lightly when his Shepard’s uses his words for their own selfish gain. Jehovah always tells us what we must do and his counsel is always in our best interest. He never does or says anything to make us feel guilty, he tells us like it is; however if we decide not to comply with his will freely, we will suffer the consequences of our disobedience. It is important to remember that if we comply with Jehovah’s will for the wrong purpose; such obedience will be a sacrifice that may be accepted by man but one that Jehovah will reject.

So what does Jehovah says about those who use him, his words, and his sanctuary for their own purpose, and those who use deception to have their own way with Jehovah's children. Let us go to Deuteronomy 18: 18-19, which states:

18 "I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I have command him.

19 And it shall come to pass that who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name I shall require it of him."

Today as thorough out all of biblical history, we have to content with false prophet (those Jehovah has not raise up), who took it on their own to do as they please with Jehovah’s words, and his people. It is because of the spirit of stupidity that dwell within us and the vast among of corruption that is within Jehovah appointed ministers that we are unable to disown who is appointed by Jehovah and who is self-appointed. But Jesus said: "by their fruit ye shall know them" and their fruits are; their lives, which consist of their action, their inferences; but most of all their spoken words, which is the window to their conscience and their soul.

But thanks to Jehovah who has given us direction as to how we ought to deal with people who refuse to speak that which Jehovah had instructed them and choose to speak and to do his own thing in the name of Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ.

We read in 1 Samuel 22: 17, When king Saul ordered his footmen to kill A-him-e-lech Jehovah’s faithful priest, Saul footmen refused, for they preferred to face the wrath of King Saul than to offend Jehovah. This was because A-him-e-lech was appointed and anointed by Jehovah. And like David in the wilderness who asked Jehovah to forgive him for stretching out his hands against Saul for cutting off King Saul’s skirt. Like A-him-e-lech Saul was anointed and appointed by Jehovah, but unlike A-him-e-lech; Saul had strayed and became evil and thus bring his anointing to naught. But he was still one who was appointed by Jehovah.

The question is, how are we to treat those who were anointed and appointed by Jehovah who have failed to live up to their calling? Should we continue to treat that person with the respect and reverence as if he is still under the anointment of Jehovah? Let us hear what Jehovah’s counsel on such is.

Let us go to Deuteronomy 18: 22. When a prophet speaks in the name of the lord, if the thing, follow not, nor come to pass, that is the things which the lord had not spoken, but the prophet had spoken it presumptuously: thou shall not be afraid of him.

This is saying that when one who is appointed by Jehovah, fails to represent Jehovah and his son Jesus the Christ; that person should not be feared or respected, and should be treated like one who have forfeited his anointing. Can you honestly respect a person who is knowingly leading you into hell; under the guise that they loves and cares for you and all of their efforts are dedicated to ensuring that you make it into heaven? This person is not one who has your best interest at heart and therefore should not be treated as such.

We must also bear in mind that Jehovah’s servants are not perfect and we should not expect perfection from them, baring in mind that they must aspire to be perfect, which is an exception of the father "therefore be ye also perfect as your father is perfect" however in their moment of confusion we must see the humility of Jehovah in them.
