The State need's our permission...

Thank you to all who planned and put on the prayer advance. Thanks to Jason and Rob for their extra work of bringing us the messages. Time well spent.
Late last night, some Pharasee's, Sadducee's, Scribes and lawyers ( you know who you are, coffee breath and some lebanese guy..., I was innocently cleaning a gun in my tent) were kicking around some things by the light of the campfire and the issue of the lying midwives and people like Corrie Tenboom came up.

I just now read an article which also lumped in, "the 3 wise men" who threw Herrod off the trail of Jesus.

Now there are tons of bunny trails that can be explored and examined here by the light of scripture. But this column was trying to make people aware that with the jury system, Leviathen can be jammed up. In the days to come we will need to be wise as serpants and innocent as doves. We must understand that just because something is "legal", it is not the same thing as being right. As in morally right. Something moral, will line up with Gods word. Something legal might be diametrically opposed to God and His definition of morality.

We can see it when it comes to abortion. But because of an incredible run of Biblical mal practice, thing's get fuzzy, real fast. How about the right of a Judge to force a family to send their kids to Caeser's academy? Prosecuting a pastor for teaching the ten commandments? Praise God we see we need to work at these things.

Check out this article, for those of us at Legacy it might make for good lunchtime conversation Sunday. Test afterwards.


..... The jury system is the government coming before you asking for permission. In that sense we are not "tainting ourselves by participating in the system" as some would have us believe. Rather it is "The System" coming before us seeking acquiescence and we need not cater to their wishes...

...The power elites still have to come before the common man to obtain 1.) an indictment via a Grand Jury, and 2.) a conviction via a common jury. A righteous soul on a Grand Jury can shield his fellow man from the rigors, expense and capricious risk of a criminal trial. Just one person of conscience on a regular jury can prevent an evil outcome...

The juror is a judge of the facts (he didn’t pay his taxes, he had a gun, he protested outside the designated "free speech zone") and he is also a judge of the laws forbidding such actions. Mid-nineteenth-century jurors often refused to convict those who were charged with violating the Fugitive Slave Act. If just a few jurors refused to convict in tax cases the whole phoney mess could be defanged. This power is so great because that way we don’t need 51%, we only need one out of twelve and they are powerless to overcome us....

The facts are that the government still must come before the people (juries) in order to convict. You have unreviewable power once you cast your vote as a juror. Resist the temptation to give the judge a civics lesson. Don't wrangle with evil men. Assume that such a judge, by virtue of his holding that office, is likely an evil man....
