The Captain Showed Mercy
There was once a story of a merciful Captain of a ship. While a passing ship shot at the Captain's ship, the captain showed mercy and warned him not to shoot again. The ship shot at him again,
but the kind Captain did not retaliate. His “mercy” ended up bringing destruction not only upon himself, but all those on his ship. By allowing the enemy to attack him twice without retaliation,
the passing ship shot a third time and destroyed them all.
This is the story of the merciful, American people who tolerate the crimes of those who serve “We the people.”
Someone once said, “Soft or bought judges produce hardened criminals.”
The world is not evil because of evil people, it's evil because decent good people fail to act. Forgiveness is one thing, but when we go "too soft" in society, society takes more of that rope we
gave them and ends up hanging us with it.
What it comes down to is, “Sympathy for the devil, the devil that means to destroy” (John 10:10).
Put into perspective the presupposition that God is and that He is the giver of rights, as the Declaration of Independence clearly proclaims. Our rights come from God and the powers of the
government come from the people. Here are some phrases found in that document:
• “The Laws of Nature and of Natures God”
• “That all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”
• “Appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world”
• “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence”
When President John F. Kennedy stated, “The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God,” it sounds like he took the time to familiarize himself with this
country's founding documents.
We can see that those who serve “We the people” bear witness to this very fact by placing their hand on the Bible and swearing on oath, both to God and man, that they will uphold the laws found
within the “Empire of Laws” (God’s moral Law found in Exodus 20; The God of The Mosaic institution; Common Law). Furthermore, they pledge that they will protect such from all enemies both foreign
and domestic.
Rom 3:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
Knowing the above, I ask, where do the president, the Supreme Court justices, senators, or representatives derive the right to break the laws of God’s government?
They can all be removed through the impeachment process, as well as be indicted for their crimes against the people. But the people must aggressively act to enforce the punishment of such
breaking or failure to keep such laws. Do they not us the same?
Article 2, section 4 of The United States Constitution reads: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Sympathy for the devil only goes one way. The devil does not play by the rules. He stands against them.
Where do you stand?
