Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)  "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

God is the Great Creator, God created the universe and everything in it except God.  God created all of the angels. God created Adam and Eve.  There are similarities in God's creation of angels, and God's creation of Adam and Eve; and there are differences in God's creation of angels, and God's creation of Adam and Eve.

God is omniscient, which means that God knows everything.  Because of God’s omniscience, God knew before God ever created the angels, that after God created the angels, Satan and one-third of the angels would commit sin.  Similarly, because of God's omniscience, God knew before God ever created Adam and Eve, that after God created Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve would commit sin.

Angels were either created with, "the knowledge of good"; or after they were created, angels quickly gained, "the knowledge of good"; because angels have knowledge of God, and God is good. God does not shield Himself from the angels.  The bodies of some angels are covered with eyes in order that they may see God more clearly, referenced in Revelation 4:6-8, and Ezekiel 10:12 printed below.

Revelation 4:6-8 (NIV)  Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

Ezekiel 10:12 (NIV) Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.

Because God does not shield Himself from angels, angels have a very extensive, "knowledge of good".  In spite of having a very extensive, "knowledge of good", some angels chose to sin.  Because angels have a very extensive, "knowledge of good", when an angel chooses to sin, there can be no redemption for that sinful angel.

Prior to Satan committing sin, angels had no tempter.  When Satan and one third of the angels sinned, all angels gained a very extensive, "knowledge of evil" to add to their very extensive, "knowledge of good".  Consequently, angels have a very extensive, "knowledge of good and evil".

In a complete contrast to the very extensive, "knowledge of good and evil" that angels possess; man was created spiritually ignorant.  When God created man, man did not possess. "the knowledge of good and evil", referenced in Genesis 2:17 printed below.

Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV) And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

The first commandment that God gave to man was the commandment, "you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil".  God's first commandment to man, was given to Adam, and is referenced in Genesis 2:16-17, printed above.  The commandment given by God to Adam, is known as the "Adamic Law".  The "Adamic Law" was one law given to Adam.  The "Adamic Law" was given to man, in order to give man an option to obey God, or to disobey God.  The option to obey God, or to disobey God, is what effectually gives man a free-will.  If man had no law from God to obey, or to disobey; man could not have obeyed, or disobeyed God, and consequently man would not have had a free-will.  Shortly after man was created, man was exposed to a tempter who enticed man to sin. Man sinned. Adam exercised Adam's free-will and violated God's Law, and thereby committed sin.  Man was created with a free-will, but man was created spiritually ignorant, as man did not realize that he was naked until after man ate of the fruit of the tree of, "the knowledge of good and evil". 

Genesis 3:6-7 (NIV)  When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.  Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

When man sinned, man gained a limited, "knowledge of good and evil".  After man sinned, man immediately incurred the nature of sin in man; and as a consequence, man could not stop from sinning, "every day in word, thought, and deed".  After man sinned, God cast man from God’s presence; because if man had gained a very extensive knowledge of God, while man continued to sin, "every day in word, thought, and deed", man could not have been redeemed!  The concept of creatures who commit sin after gaining a very extensive knowledge of God, who are then unable to be redeemed, closely parallels the truth put forth in Hebrews 6:4-6, and 2 Peter 2:20-22 printed below:

Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV) It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

2 Peter 2:20-22 (NIV) If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.  It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.  Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

In Jesus Christ's intercession for man, Jesus Christ's defense of man was built on the fact that man was spiritually ignorant.

Luke 23:33-34a (NIV) When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals--one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

Man was created spiritually ignorant for a very specific reason.

Consider the fact that man was created spiritually ignorant, without "the knowledge of good and evil", and then also consider Sir Francis Bacon's statement, "Knowledge is power."

"Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est" - "Knowledge is power." - Sir Francis Bacon 1561-1626

Proverbs 24:5 (NIV)  A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength;

1 Corinthians 8:1c-2 (NIV)  Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.

THE REASON THAT MAN WAS CREATED SPIRITUALLY IGNORANT, WITHOUT "the knowledge of good and evil"; IS THE FACT THAT KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS EMPOWERING, AND THERE IS INHERENT DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH ANY FORM OF POWER!

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton 1834–1902

While Lord Acton's statement, printed above, has deserved consideration since he made the pronouncement in 1887, Lord Acton failed to differentiate between the omnipotent power of the Creator, and the power that God has bestowed upon a creature.  God is the Creator.  God is omnipotent, which means that God is all power.  All power comes from God.  God is not corrupt in any way.  God is absolute power, and God is absolutely Holy, Holy, Holy.  Power that God has bestowed upon a creature, that is then twisted and misused by the creature, is corrupt, sinful power.

John 19:10-11a (NIV)  "Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"  Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above."

When God bestowed power on Pilate, Pilate exercised Pilate's free-will, and chose to twist and misuse that power to Crucify Jesus Christ.  Pilate twisted the power that God had bestowed upon Pilate into corrupt, sinful power.

Sinful power corrupts, and the greater the sinful power, the greater the corruption.  With any form of power, there is always danger.  With great power, there is always great danger.  The inherent great danger in gaining empowering knowledge of God is because if YOU gain empowering knowledge of God, and then choose to rebel and not live YOUR life in accordance with that empowering knowledge of God, YOUR rebellion against God will harden YOUR heart against God! 

If YOU gain empowering knowledge of God, and then with YOUR free-will, YOU choose to rebel against that empowering knowledge of God, YOU will corrupt YOUR empowering knowledge of God into SINFUL CORRUPT POWER that will harden YOUR heart against God!

When YOU resist God, YOU harden YOUR own heart against God!

When YOU gain knowledge of God, and then resist God, YOU harden your heart exactly as Pharaoh in Egypt hardened his heart, referenced in Exodus chapters 5-18, because YOU harden YOUR heart against God!

Exodus 8:15 (NIV)  But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said.

Exodus 8:30-32 (NIV)  Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord, and the Lord did what Moses asked: The flies left Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not a fly remained.  But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go.

The greater the empowering knowledge of God that YOU have, or the longer time that YOU have knowledge of God, and refuse to live in accordance with that knowledge, the harder YOUR heart will become!

Hebrews 3:15 (NIV)  As has just been said:  "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."

Hebrews 4:7 (NIV) Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before:  "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

In order to commune with God, YOU must be drawn to God!

John 6:44a (NIV)  "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him,"

When YOU harden YOUR heart against God, YOU cannot hear, or see the Holy Spirit of God, draw YOU to God!

Matthew 13:15a (NIV) "For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes."

When YOU harden YOUR heart against God, YOU blaspheme the Holy Spirit of God who is drawing YOU to God!

Matthew 12:31 (NIV)  "And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."

When YOU blaspheme the Holy Spirit of God by hardening YOUR heart against God, YOU WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN YOUR BLASPHEMY, because YOU will have hardened YOUR heart to the extent that YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR, OR SEE the Holy Spirit of God as He continues to draw YOU to God!

The fact that there is inherent great danger in gaining knowledge of God, is the reason why God has designed God's Perfect Order to reveal very extensive knowledge about God ONLY to those people who seek God; and to hide very extensive knowledge about God from those people who are not seeking God. If a person gained very extensive knowledge about God, while a person is in a state of rebellion against God, that knowledge would harden the rebellious person's heart to the extent that they would blaspheme the Holy Spirit of God, cross the deadline of God, and be condemned to Hell.  Jesus Christ referenced the fact that truth is hidden from those people who are not seeking the truth.  Jesus Christ also revealed that God hides the knowledge of some truths, even from those people who seek God, until God's specific chosen time to reveal the knowledge of those specific truths.

Matthew 11:25 (NIV) At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

Matthew 18:2-4 (NIV)  He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 13:10-17 (NIV) The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"  He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.  Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.  This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.  In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.  For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'  But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.  For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

Isaiah 6:9-10 (NIV)  He said, "Go and tell this people: " 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'  Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes.  Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

1 Corinthians 2:14 (NIV) The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Daniel 12:10b (NIV) None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

Luke 24:24 (NIV)  Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

In the Perfect Order and Perfect Justice of God, the more that man gains gains, "knowledge of good and evil", the higher the standard will be, that man will be held to at God's Judgment.

James 3:1 (NIV)  Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

To avoid a strict judgment is not a motivation to remain spiritually ignorant; God is not mocked, in the Natural Perfect Order and Perfect Justice of God, YOU will be held accountable for the knowledge of God that YOU could have gained, and purposely chose not to.

James 4:17 (NIV) Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

After eating of the tree of, "the knowledge of good and evil", and being cast out of the Garden of Eden, man's knowledge of spiritual things was restricted to the "Intuitive Law".  The "Intuitive Law" is what is apparent to man without any specific instruction from God.

Romans 1:18-23 (NIV) The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

When Cain killed Abel, Cain intuitively knew that Cain's action was in violation of the "Intuitive Law". That is why Cain lied to God about the murder of Abel.

Genesis 4:9-10 (NIV) Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground."

God is, among His infinite other characteristics; omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, the Great Creator, the Governor, the Alpha, the Omega, and the sustainer of life.  Because of the "Intuitive Law", the initial pursuit of any form of knowledge will result in the recognition of God.  All knowledge in any form relates to God, what God created, or the Perfect Order of God.  Knowledge of God is light.  Ignorance of God is darkness.

2 Samuel 22:29 (NIV) You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light.

Psalm 18:28 (NIV) You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

Psalm 112:4 (NIV) Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

Proverbs 4:18-19 (NIV) The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.  But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.

Ecclesiastes 2:13-14 (NIV) I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. The wise man has eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness;

Isaiah 9:2 (NIV) The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.

Isaiah 29:18 (NIV) In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

Isaiah 42:16 (NIV) I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Luke 11:33-36 (NIV) "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.  Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness.  See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.  Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you."

1 John 1:5-7 (NIV) This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

1 John 2:11 (NIV) But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

The inherent danger of knowledge, is that while knowledge of God will draw YOU to God; if YOU rebel, because of YOUR rebellion, like Adam and Eve, YOU will hide from God.

Genesis 3:6-10 (NIV) When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.  Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.  Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.  But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

Gaining knowledge, while being in rebellion against God, will also result in YOUR opinion of YOURSELF being enhanced.

1 Corinthians 8:1b,c (NIV) We know that we all possess knowledge.  Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

Gaining knowledge, and specifically gaining knowledge of God, while in a state of rebellion against God, will result in YOUR heart becoming hardened against God.  The greater YOUR knowledge of God, or the greater YOUR gain of any knowledge, while existing in a state of rebellion against God, will result in the greater hardening of YOUR heart.  If YOU close YOUR eyes and ears to the light of the knowledge of God, the act of closing YOUR eyes and ears to the light, blocks out the light, and the light of the knowledge of God turns into darkness.

Matthew 6:22-23 (NIV) "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

Gaining knowledge about God, while being in rebellion against God, will result in the quality/quantity of YOUR knowledge graphing like a bell-curve function.  There is a bell-curve function, associated with rebellious pursuit of knowledge.  YOUR knowledge line starts upward on the chart as YOU gain knowledge.  Through YOUR increased knowledge, as YOU recognize God, and choose to submit to God; through the leading of the Holy Spirit, YOUR knowledge line will continue upward into infinity.

John 16:13 (NIV) "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."

When YOUR knowledge line starts upward on the chart, if YOU rebel against the knowledge of God, YOU will by default, harden YOUR heart against God.  When YOU harden YOUR heart against God, YOU are refusing to accept the truth.  Refusing to acknowledge truth will force YOU to search for the most palatable error. 

Isaiah 5:20 (NIV) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

John 3:19-21 (NIV) "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

When YOU refuse to believe the truth, YOU automatically look for the error that YOU can most easily believe, in order to keep from believing the truth, which brings YOU to the point referenced in 2 Thessalonians 2:12 printed below:

2 Thessalonians 2:10b-12 (NIV)  They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.  For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

When, in order to abstain from recognizing God, YOU accept palatable error into YOUR thinking; YOUR knowledge line flattens out and begins to descend back down into a bell curve graph.  When YOU have completely blocked all knowledge of, or about God from YOUR mind, YOU will have bottomed out on the bell curve chart, and YOU will have become a fool. 

Psalm 14:1a (NIV) The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."

Job 12:24-25 (NIV) He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he sends them wandering through a trackless waste.  They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.

To gain knowledge of anything, without respect to God is foolishness.  That is why there is great knowledge around universities, but in a direct cause and effect parallel, there are also great numbers of agnostic/atheist/fools around most universities.

Because of the inherent great danger in gaining very extensive knowledge of God, the Perfect Order of God is structured to hide very extensive empowering knowledge of God from YOU, until YOUR rebellious self-will is crucified, and YOU are in complete submission to God.

After eating of the tree of "the knowledge of good and evil", man gained a limited "knowledge of good and evil", but man was still an infant in his spiritual knowledge.  Historic man was spiritually ignorant, with a limited "knowledge of good and evil".  Man has experienced a progression of spiritual knowledge, starting in The Book of Genesis and continuing and expanding into eternity. The progression and unfolding of spiritual knowledge is referenced by Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit of God:

Luke 10:24 (NIV) "For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

Acts 17:30 (NIV) In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.

Colossians 1:25-27 (NIV) I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness-- 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Ephesians 3:4-5 (NIV) In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets.

Romans 16:25-26 (NIV) Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him--

1 Peter 1:10-12 (NIV) Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

Following the flood at Noah's time, God began to give more definition to the law. The law that God gave to Noah is referred to as the "Noahatic Law".

Genesis 9:4-6 (NIV) "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. 6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

The "Noahatic Law" was very simple. God directed man to, "not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it"; and God told man, that man would have to give, "an accounting for the life of his fellow man".  Through the "Noahatic Law", God began to teach man reverence for the "lifeblood" of all living creatures, and God enhanced man's understanding concerning the "sanctity of all life".  Jewish tradition says that the people were tearing the limbs off of animals and eating them raw. God in His infinite love dictated against this cruel treatment.  This was not far removed from the modern practice in some countries of bringing a confined live monkey to the dinner table, cracking his skull with a wooden mallet and eating his brain.  God also articulated to Noah, the law against murder.

Since the time that God gave man the "Noahatic Law", God has continued to stress to man, a reverence for the "sanctity of life".  Sinful man, with man's free-will, has continued to seek additional ways to flagrantly disobey God, and violently disregard God's commandments concerning the "sanctity of life"! 

Baby Killers who commit abortion are rebelling against God's "Intuitive Law", God's "Noahatic Law", AND EVERY SINGLE LAW THAT GOD HAS PUT FORTH SINCE THAT TIME! 

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against God, sinning against the murdered baby, sinning against the mother of the murdered baby, sinning against the father of the murdered baby, sinning against the siblings of the murdered baby, sinning against the extended family of the murdered baby, sinning against all of mankind, and sinning against all of creation.

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against God, because they are violating God's law, and circumventing God's life plan for the murdered baby.  God has a perfect plan for every single day, in the life of every single person; even before they are born.

Psalms 139:13-16 (NIV)  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.  When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Murderers, who by default, interfere with God's plan by murdering a person; are by default imposing their own plan on that person.  Murderers are usurping the place of God, blocking God's plan, and positioning themselves for a direct confrontation with God Almighty.  It does not get any more serious than that.

Hebrews 10:31(NIV)  It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against the murdered baby, because they are murdering the baby.  On Mount Sinai, God Almighty again dictated against a person's, "Right to Choose - TO MURDER", when God commanded:

Exodus 20:13 (NIV)  "You shall not murder."

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against the mother and father of the murdered baby, by murdering the mother and father's blessing from God.  Children are "a heritage" and "a reward" given to parents, by the Lord God.

Psalms 127:3 (NIV) Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against the siblings and extended family of the murdered baby, because they are robbing the siblings and extended family of the possibility of love, joy, friendship, and support that the murdered baby might have given the siblings and extended family throughout the murdered baby's lifetime.

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against all of mankind because they are depriving mankind of the service that the Lord God had planned for the murdered baby to give to mankind.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

What would the world be like if Mother Teresa had been aborted?

What would the world be like if George Washington had been aborted?

What would the world be like if Sir Isaac Newton had been aborted?

What would the world be like if the Apostle Paul had been aborted?

What would the world be like if Christopher Columbus had been aborted?

United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg supports the legal right of a woman to choose to murder her own baby, and has stated:

"Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.  So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.  Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them.  But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way.  And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong." - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg quoted in New York Times Sunday Magazine July 12, 2009

Is the Jewess Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's decision to allow the people to be murdered, "that we don't want to have too many of", based on those unfortunate people's financial situation? 

People's financial situations can be changed. 

Is the Jewess Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's decision to allow the people to be murdered, "that we don't want to have too many of", based on those unfortunate people's educational position? 

People's educational positions can be changed. 

Is the Jewess Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's decision to allow the people to be murdered, "that we don't want to have too many of", based on those unfortunate people's race? 

Oh, people's race cannot be changed.

Theoretically, there cannot be "too many of" a majority of the population.  Growth of the majority of a population is simply natural population growth.  Theoretically, there can only be "too many of" a minority group of people.

After reading Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's statement, it becomes increasingly apparent that one of the foundational motivations of baby killing through abortion was the limiting of, or the genocide of a minority group of people.  Statistics reflect that abortion of Black babies is more than twice the percentage of Caucasian babies.  The result of baby killing through abortion is a substantial limiting of, and a genocide of a high percentage of Black babies!

It would be easy to attribute to the "Stockholm Syndrome", the overwhelming support by a majority of the Black population, for the political party that endorses baby killing through abortion of Black babies.  The "Stockholm Syndrome" is a psychological phenomenon whereby people gain a love for the people who abduct and hold them hostage.  It would be easy to attribute Black support for the Democratic party to the "Stockholm Syndrome", but it should not be attributed to that.  The predominate Black support for the Democratic party, is due to the fact that because of the horrific sin of slavery, the devil has tempted many people to be consumed by the sin of racial hatred, and the devil has dragged a high percentage of the population through their consuming racial hatred into wickedness.  For their own selfish purposes, most of the current political leadership has predominately aided the devil in dragging the population into sin, by fomenting cultural and class warfare through consuming racial hatred.

While both the Republican and Democratic parties are wicked, the socialist Democratic party is the party that openly and publicly supports baby killing through abortion of what is statistically, a high percentage of Black babies.  The socialist Democratic Party also supports homosexuality, gay marriage, and the crippling generational oppression of Black people.

What would the world be like if George Washington Carver had been aborted?

"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.  Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.  Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"Let no man pull you low enough to hate him." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity.  Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity.  It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"Nonviolence is the answer to crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.  Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation.  The foundation of such a method is love." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.  Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear.  Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say: "We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering.  We will meet your physical force with soul force.  Do to us what you will and we will still love you... But be assured that we'll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom.  We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"We have flown the air like birds and swum the seas like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." - the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

What would the world be like if the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. had been aborted?  Abraham Lincoln, in his carnal lust for power, drove a united country to the point of complete destruction in Abraham Lincoln's federal power grab.  Lincoln lied, people died.  The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr., working against all of man's natural inclinations, took a divided country that was on the path to complete destruction, and almost single-handedly held the United States of America together as a country.

Baby Killers who commit abortion are sinning against all of creation, because all of creation is disturbed by sin.  The earth was originally created by God to function perfectly, and to exist infinitely. Since the time of the earth's creation, the earth has been changed.  Something occurred that has disturbed the earth:

Romans 8:22 (NIV) For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Everything on earth functioned perfectly within God's imposed order until man sinned.  The cause that has effected the creation to "groaneth and travaileth" referenced above, is that man sinned.  The sin of Baby Killing through abortion disturbs the earth.  The increasing sin of man is the reason that God's nature is increasingly disturbed.

Every single murderer has been cursed, and spiritually branded, with the same curse, and mark that Cain was physically branded with. 

Genesis 4:8-15 (NIV)  Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."  And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.  Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"  "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"  The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.  Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.  When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."  Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is more than I can bear.  Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."  But the Lord said to him, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

The group of murderers who have been cursed, and spiritually branded with the "Mark of Cain", include all of those Baby Killers who voted pro-abortion, and all of those Baby Killers who knowingly failed to vote pro-life, because of the Baby Killer's personal responsibility for their political support of the act of Baby Killing through abortion! 

DO NOT BE DECEIVED!  If YOU have voted pro-abortion, or if YOU have knowingly failed to vote pro-life, YOU are just as personally responsible for Baby Killing through abortion, as the "Doctor Mengele's" who swear to uphold the "Hippocratic Oath", then enter the place of the baby's sanctuary; and use scissors, knives, forceps, and meat hooks to pierce, split, and crush the baby's skull, dismember the baby's body, and pull the baby's quivering, mutilated, bloody, severed body parts from the place of the baby's sanctuary, the mother's womb.

If YOU have voted pro-abortion, or if YOU have knowingly failed to vote pro-life, YOU PERSONALLY ARE SPIRITUALLY EXACTLY LIKE CHARLES MANSON AND HIS FOLLOWERS!  If YOU have voted pro-abortion, or if YOU have knowingly failed to vote pro-life, THE ONLY PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU PERSONALLY, AND CHARLES MANSON PERSONALLY, IS THAT THE "DOCTOR MENGELE'S" THAT YOU PERSONALLY ENABLED TO COMMIT BABY KILLING THROUGH ABORTION, PROBABLY DID NOT USE THE BABY'S BLOOD TO SMEAR GRAFFITI ON THE WALLS OF THE OPERATING ROOM!

If YOU have voted pro-abortion, or if YOU have knowingly failed to vote pro-life, YOU are just as personally responsible for ripping out a living baby's heart, as the Aztec, Inca, Mayan, Toltec, Teotihuacán, Egyptian, Phoenician, Carthaginian, Thuggee, Yamna, Swedish, Magyar, Russian, Polynesian, Moche, and other wicked pagans who exercised their free-will by ripping out living people's hearts and offering them up to their god, the devil.

Tell me, after voting pro-abortion, or knowingly failing to vote pro-life, what will God's Perfect Justice require PERSONALLY OF YOU?  YOU WILL, PERSONALLY, ANSWER FOR YOUR HORRIFICALLY SINFUL VOTING RECORD!

UNLESS YOU HAVE BLASPHEMED THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AND CROSSED THE DEADLINE OF GOD, THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN FOR YOUR HORRIFIC SIN; BUT YOU MUST STOP SINNING!

righteous:  adj  [alter. of earlier rightuous, alter. of ME rightwise, rightwos, fr. OE rihtwis, fr. riht, n., right + wis wise] (1535) 1 : acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin  2 a: morally right or justifiable <a ~decision> b: arising from an outraged sense of justice or morality <~ indignation>  3 slang: GENUINE, GOOD syn see MORAL - righ-teous-ly adv - righ-teous-ness n - Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Tenth Edition - (highlighting added for emphasis, and clarity)

Righteousness relates only to compliance with the law. The word Righteous comes from the root word right.  It strictly and exclusively references compliance with the law. Good and bad have degrees, as in good, better, best - bad, worse, worst. Right and wrong have no degrees. Like the law, Righteousness is black or white, compliant or non-compliant, right or wrong.

Genesis 6:9 (NIV) This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.

Genesis 9:20-21 (NIV) Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.

Noah's actions of getting drunk and laying around naked, in view of YOUR current, "knowledge of good and evil" would be in question, but Noah was "blameless among the people of his time" because Noah did not know any better. "Noah was a righteous man," because Noah was in full compliance with the "Intuitive" and the "Noahatic Law."

Another example of a Righteous man was Lot.

Genesis 19:30-38 (NIV) Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let's get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father." 33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 36 So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab ; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi ; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.

2 Peter 2:7 (NIV) and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men

How could the incestuous Lot be considered "a righteous man"? This is the same Lot who selfishly chose the well-watered plains of Jordan with no concern for the welfare of his uncle Abraham; the same Lot who moved his family into Sodom; the same Lot who ultimately lost his estate, his wife and his family.  Lot, "a righteous man", was Righteous, because Lot was in full compliance with the "Intuitive" and the "Noahatic Law". Lot did not have the "knowledge of good and evil" that YOU have today. Lot had no law concerning alcoholic beverages or getting drunk, consequently Lot was not held responsible for the incestuous relationships that occurred without Lot's knowledge while Lot was in a drunken condition.

As God continued to enlighten man, God gave man additional guidelines to live by, or a more definitive law. On Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, or the Decalogue, as well as the Levitical Laws contained in the Pentateuch. (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy)  The Law that God gave to Moses is known as the "Mosaic Law".

Exodus 20:1-17 (NIV) And God spoke all these words: 2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. 13 "You shall not murder. 14 "You shall not commit adultery. 15 "You shall not steal. 16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

If a person does not understand about Righteousness, they are, at best, a baby in Christ, and at worst, a messenger of Satan, sent to damn YOUR soul.

Hebrews 5:13-14 (NIV) Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

A person who does not understand about Righteousness, is not a person that can tell YOU how to feed YOUR soul.

NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON, WHO FOLLOWS THE LIES OF THE DEVIL PUT FORTH THROUGH THE TEACHING CREDITED TO JOHN CALVIN, UNDERSTANDS ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS.  The greatest spiritual knowledge of any "Calvinist", is at best, milk for a baby. The Holy Spirit of God through the Apostle Paul clearly enunciated the elementary teachings about Jesus Christ that are identified as baby's milk in Hebrews 5:13-6:3.

Hebrews 5:13-6:3 (NIV) Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.

A substantial portion of the "Born Again" Children of God, and all "Calvinists", ARE AT BEST, still feeding on baby's milk. The Holy Spirit of God through the Apostle Paul, in Hebrews 5:13-6:3 printed above, gives six examples of baby's milk:

    1. "the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death"

    2. "faith in God"

    3. "instruction about baptisms"

    4. "the laying on of hands"

    5. "the resurrection of the dead"

    6. "eternal judgment"

These are clearly stated as baby's milk. Until you have been well nourished on these good things, and moved on to the deeper truths in the Holy Word of God, you are, at best, a baby in Christ. "Calvinistic theologians" never move beyond baby's milk, because the deceptive lies of the devil put forth through the teaching credited to John Calvin will not allow them to.

Most of the rhetoric of "Calvinist" theologians, is consumed NOT with bringing people to Jesus Christ,

but with damning naive foolish people by convincing them that they can continue to sin "every day in word, thought, and deed", and still go to Heaven!

The light gets no brighter than Matthew 22:37-40. However, following the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and the subsequent giving of the Holy Spirit of God on the Day of Pentecost, man's spiritual understanding was still in a darkened state due to man's intellectual retardation. The Book of Acts is a historical record of the Acts of the Apostles.  Man had the opportunity, through faith in Jesus Christ, to be perfect in heart; but man's head was still very slow to grasp the very extensive knowledge of God that had been made available to man, through faith in Jesus Christ.  The first Holiness convention was attended by the apostles and elders; the Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament; and the Apostle's Peter and James, also writers of the New Testament. We are given an insight into how little these "Born Again" Children of God, understood at that time.

Acts 15:5-29 (NIV) Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses." 6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are." 12 The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. 13 When they finished, James spoke up: "Brothers, listen to me. 14 Simon has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself. 15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written: 16 "'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, 17 that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things' 18 that have been known for ages. 19 "It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath." 22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, two men who were leaders among the brothers. 23 With them they sent the following letter: The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings. 24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul-- 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.

At the first Holiness convention, after considering whether Judeo-Christians should comply with the law, the "Born Again" Children of God agreed that we are not under law but under grace. Then the "Born Again" Children of God went right back and established a new law - "Man's Four Commandments."

Acts 15:29 (NIV) You are to abstain (1) from food sacrificed to idols, (2) from blood, (3) from the meat of strangled animals and (4) from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.

"Man's Four Commandments" that the "Born Again" Children of God established was not even good law. This was not law given by God on Mount Sinai, this was law created by man at a church meeting. This is certainly a biblical example of why "Born Again" Children of God must listen to God rather than the teachings of any singular man, or denominational group. The Apostle Paul, in attendance, and in agreement at the time of the first Holiness convention; later refuted the first commandment of "Man's Four Commandments," referenced in 1 Corinthians 8:4-13 printed below; as Paul gained sight of the "Law of Love" referenced in Matthew 22:37-40.

1 Corinthians 8:4-13 (NIV) So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 7 But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. 9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.

The Apostle Paul had become enlightened by the Holy Spirit of God at the time Paul was writing portions of the New Testament. Paul concluded that an idol is nothing, but love for his brother is everything. Paul at that point could see the light of Matthew 22:37-40, the "Law of Love".

Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV) Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

In Galatians 5:2-3 the Apostle Paul again states that we are not under the written law or external law, but the "Law of Love".

Galatians 5:2-3 (NIV) Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

Colossians 2:16-17 (NIV) Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

Mark 2:27 (NIV) Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."

John 1:17 (NIV) For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Philippians 3:8-9 (NIV) What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.

In accordance with Webster's Dictionary, the word righteous means: acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin.

Righteousness is the state of being righteous.

In accordance with the Holy Word of God: Sin is lawlessness.

1 John 3:4 (NIV)  Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

Lawlessness is the state of being in violation of the law.

Lawlessness is the exact polar opposite of Righteousness. 

All of the law is contained in Matthew 22:37-40, printed below.

Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV) Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Sin is failure to comply with the law referenced in Matthew 22:37-40, printed above.

When a person becomes filled with the Holy Spirit of God, they become a "Born Again" Child of God, and spiritually Holy; so that they can live completely without sin.  After being filled with the Holy Spirit of God, "Born Again" Children of God have a pure heart, and they grow in Righteousness through their knowledge and understanding of God's Law.  However, the "Born Again" Children of God's growth in Righteousness continues to be retarded because of their intellectual ignorance.  "Born Again" Children of God have a perfect heart, but an imperfect head.  Today, due to their retarded intellect, the "Born Again" Children of God cannot know or understand the level of Righteousness that Jesus Christ will teach during the Millennial Reign.  During the One Thousand Year Millennial Reign, Jesus Christ will teach the "Born Again" Children of God a level of Righteousness, that surpasses the Righteousness referenced in Matthew 22:37-40.  It will require One Thousand Years for Jesus Christ to lead the "Born Again" Children of God into complete Righteousness.

Moses' leading of the Children of Israel in the desert for a period of forty years, while Moses instructed the Children of Israel concerning God's Law, and changed the Children of Israel's mores and folkways prior to entering the Land of Canaan; is a fore-glimpse of Jesus Christ leading the "Born Again" Children of God during the Millennial Reign, while Jesus Christ instructs the "Born Again" Children of God concerning a greater level of Righteousness, and changes the "Born Again" Children of God's mores and folkways prior to the "Born Again" Children of God entering Heaven. 

When Jesus Christ leads the "Born Again" Children of God into living a level of complete Righteousness, then God the Father (Elohiym) will no longer need the Lord God (Adonai Elohiym) to act as a Mercy buffer between God and man, because the "Born Again" Children of God will live in complete Righteousness, and not need a Mercy buffer.  God the Father (Elohiym) will physically reunite Himself with the Lord God (Adonai Elohiym - Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit of God. 

God will then provide a new Heaven, and a new earth that has never had sin committed in them, for Himself and for the completely Righteous, "Born Again" Children of God to dwell in, for eternity.

Revelation 21:1-4 (NIV)  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
