Mark 12: 17


You do not understand Christianity because you are not of it.  You use its basic tenets as foundation for your own law, which you freely break at will.  Therefore your own hands cover your eyes.

But you will testify that you use no such basic tenets for the law of man.  You say you are free men.  You will say that your laws are but logical sequence used to establish peace among men.  You say there is no obligation to do the things of Christ; there is only obligation toward a central strength to establish and retain peace among men.

All that you do is for the sake of the shape of the human body, and the place where we are caused to be.  Man’s desire, ability and history shape the things you love to call law.  Desire and history are sure and unbreakable (though they may be written in a variety of form).  But ability changes according to the ingenuity of man.  And so you willingly break your own law for the sake of expediency.  And corruption has therefore made you filthy.

The basic tenets of Christ are within your law because the shape of man requires it.  But your desire frustrates and explodes the law of Christ.  You nullify His law by adding to it for the sake of what you call advancement and convenience.

You cannot break the law of God.  The very shape of man demands obedience.  But you create more; and this “more” you are able to break.  Then you add to your folly by turning and blaming the law of God for your faults, which law is at the very root of your own.

Such things are not hidden now.  Such things will not be hidden then.  The law of God is established, unmovable and unbreakable.  But the work of man’s hands is futile folly; before it is written it is broken.

Return, he who has understanding, to “the laws of God undefiled”.  Leave the work of your hands.  Submit to the true law of Christ.  Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.
