86/613 – Don’t
kill the innocent and the righteous!
Yaakov, Béla Orbán
”Keep your distance from a
false charge – do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not
justify the wicked.” (Exodus 23:7)
Killing is forbidden except
from cases when God puts someone in charge of carrying out such a sentence.
Today’s order of laws forbids
anyone to judge arbitrarily.
This law is however valid for
everyone.
Because we can kill in spirit
and soul in the same way!
This law applies in cases when
we judge someone falsely or basing ourselves on lies.
When we are qualifying, accusing,
criticizing or even damning somebody under the influence of our own interests,
we will have to give an account before God for all that someday.
Only God is allowed to kill
anyone or anything since He is the Creator of everything.
We are able to kill
ministries, communities and individuals in spirit and soul just with our words…
We can often even imprison or reduce people to silence so that the Living Word
and the message of God could never come out of their mouth to reach other
people. Their functioning dies practically.
We will have to give an
account for everything before Him!
When we judge, we have to know
and to realize that the almighty judge who sees everything, is also looking at
us.
But if we see something going
against God or something dangerous for the Body of the Messiah, we can report
it, correct it and defend ourselves against it. If these things prove to be
useless and do not bring any change, we only have to hand the ”file” to the
Supreme Judge.
He is the only one allowed to take life of things
back.
