Darkness has no word for true.
Upon blizzard’s frost evil has no conscience.

The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have
transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, ... ~ Isaiah 24:5


By turning from what God has instructed,
to protect us, we destroy ourselves.


... calamity on this people - The fruit of their thoughts, Because they have
not heeded My words Nor my law, but rejected it. ~ Jeremiah 6:19


They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but multiplied among men,
it can become an endless endeavor. Anger is a prevalent emotion hard
to overcome. Forgiveness and understanding is void from many hearts.
A wagon load of corpses comes by this way. Words among men
can be the most inflammatory or the dearest of concern.


Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for
light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, ... ~ Isaiah 5:20


The fruits of deviancy from God’s will only leads to hell without hope.
No sinner holding an unrepentant heart will find pride before
His shadow of judgment. Exchanging truth for dishonor and
exalting man's will over God’s law is a certain abomination in His
sight. Unforgettable is the rainbow created by God to declare
His hope and love for our return from evil lusting pursuits.
The truth cannot be reversed though man claims it can.


These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans, ... ~ Proverbs 6:16-19


God has no ambiguity when it comes to good and bad. Pride involves
a better than you attitude; better than God? God certainly expresses
His displeasure with murderers, and the shedding of innocent blood.


The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and
the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. ~ Proverbs 8:13


The Lord has tightly disclosed His good truths
    The LORD hates:    
            ● Pride and arrogance
            ● The evil way
            ● The perverse mouth

Oppression is living under the shadow of arrogance.
The Lord has made clear those things against goodness.
If one sees, His hand is the light in our darkness.


Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But happy is he who keeps the law. ~ Proverbs 29:18


Laws were created to establish right from wrong.

... know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law
is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless ... ~ 1st Timothy 1:8-10


Freedom without godly regard is lawlessness
  Law is made for:
      ● The lawless and insubordinate
                                       ● The ungodly
                                       ● Sinners
      ● Unholy and profane
      ● Murderers of fathers and mothers  
      ● Manslayers
      ● Fornicators         ● liars
      ● Sodomites           ● perjurers
      ● Kidnappers
      ● Contrary to sound doctrine

Authority is a castle that chains man to be orderly.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. ... ~ Romans 13:3-4

To live in peace, an agreement for common decency must be agreed
upon. As rules are broken, authority has the responsibility to return
order as quickly as possible. Exacting justice is not a quagmire of delays.
Make no mistake, God authorizes execution for those that break His
ordinances, and if not done by man, judgment day will enforce
His will for Goodness over evil’s influence.


Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore
the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ~ Ecclesiastes 8:11


When justice fails evil flaunts its’ success
  Sentence against an evil work  
        ⮡  Not executed speedily
               ⮡  Sets hearts to do evil

Without enforcing laws expeditiously, societies invite an avalanche of evil.

Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, ... ~ Isaiah 26:10


Grace has been shown to all. There are those who will never
take advantage of the goodness offered, in sharing together, where
selfishness reigns. By not purging society of the most heinous criminals,
the burden of their continuing care lessens the quality of life for all.


"... false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness
will abound, the love of many will grow cold. ..." ~ Matthew 24:11-13


Lawlessness is the curse of all.

"You shall not murder." ~ Exodus 20:13

"He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death."
~ Exodus 21:12


"'Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.'" ~ Leviticus 24:17

"... Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed;
For in the image of God He made man. ..." ~ Genesis 9:6


God commands capital punishment for murderers.

For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death,
I do not object to dying; ... ~ Acts 25:11


The Apostle Paul, through Holy Spirit’s inspiration,
agrees with capital punishment when appropriate.


"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." ~ Matthew 15:19


Purpose of heart is only unveiled in depths of truth
  Out of the heart proceed:  
                  ● Evil thoughts
                  ● Murders
                  ● Adulteries
                  ● Fornications
                  ● Thefts
                  ● False witness
                  ● Blasphemies

Conscience is crucial for the soul that wishes salvation.
Knowing what God wills for His creation and His plan can only be
discovered by diligent study and effort to adhere to what has been given.


... Jesus said, "'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You
shall not steal,' 'You shall not bear false witness,' ..." ~ Matthew 19:18


Words of wisdom are useless to impulsive desires
  Jesus said You shall not:  
            ● Murder
            ● Commit adultery
            ● Steal
            ● Bear false witness

Murder is what takes a soul away from the tree of life where God see all.

Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that
no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ... ~ 1st John 3:15-16


Love has been given never to be taken away

        Hate is a
       murderer
           No murderer
                                 has eternal life   


     Know love,
   He laid down
   His life for us




              Ought to lay down our
               lives for the brethren




Jesus laid His life down for all, and asks that we follow,
in caring for others, even when it is difficult.


... do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written,
"Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. ~ Romans 12:19


It is a challenge not to want revenge when one has been done wrong.
Jesus suffer under the lies and false accusations levied against Him.
God has promised those hindering the ascension
of souls will receive their just lonely end.


If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1st John 1:9


Part of coming to the truth with God is confessing those things
we are most challenged with. Prayer is our portal to heaven.


Without following God’s Word civilizations fail
 ● Earth is defiled for the breaking of God’s Word
 ● Rejecting God’s law plunges people into calamity
 ● Evil reverses truth asserting lies as true
 ● God is clear on what He calls evil abominations
 ● Without truth, the people destroy themselves
 ● Rulers are a terror to those practicing evil
 ● By not enforcing laws rapidly only increases sin
 ● Fair hands of justice cannot change driven evil
 ● Hearts grow cold from abounding lawless lies
 ● God proclaims murderers shall be executed by man  
 ● The Apostle Paul condoned the death penalty
 ● Hateful hearts are murderous with no inheritance
 ● God will exact justice where man cannot

Villains have little conscience for God’s Word.

Darkness has no flavor but ice.
