| The Law and satan (accuser) |

| |
There is merit in the connection between the law and the accuser.
The Law (10) in my mind is given of God.
Thou shalt not kill (period) is one of the 10.
In Leviticus it is Thou shalt not kill unless___________(insert satan's interpretation here)
Because the bible says "And Jehovah said to Moses...." and it contradicts the 10 then one needs to question that secondary law.
Taking the stoning of disobedient children, how is it a Loving God will send Jesus to reconcile man to God make a statement that judgement is carried out by man and not God Himself.
If God put Adam out of the Garden and did not kill him for his sin, how is it He allows creation to proceed and become increasingly evil, requiring a flood, and later the abridged law to put judgement in the hands of men that clearly contradicts the 10 laws.
Just like religion today's is mostly man-made wrong interpretations of what God is trying to do, so too was it back then.
Looking back to the garden, when God found Adam in the fig leaves, what did He say? Was it an accusation? No.
Who told you you were naked?
Did you eat of the tree?
Questions.
If God said, "You are naked because you ate of the tree" then God would stand as the accuser, however, submitting to the lusts and desires albeit via Eve, Adam opened the door to his heart for the accuser to start his ministry of deceit and accusation.
What did God do?
He made them clothes and put them out of the garden, then the curses (or blessings) depending how you read it. (More on this here.)
All the while God was in control and never carried out anything more than a corrective punishment.
Fast forward to the giving of the 10 commandments. They were laws. Laws can be broken. Love is a principle, whether you choose to believe in Love or not does not make Love go away, hence God is Love, therefore God is a Principle.
Let me explain a principle.
Gravity is a law. Can it be broken? In a way yes. Enter Aerodynamics.
The way an aeroplane wing is shaped allows wind passing over the top to reduce pressure as opposed to the underside of the wing. The differential pressure results in lift.
Who designed Aerodynamics? God. Look at the wing of any bird, the same basic features exist as with an aeroplane.
So what causes lift or aerodynamics to work? You need wind or airflow over the wing, that can occur naturally, think of swarming eagles in a thermal updraught.
Birds flap their wings to gain thrust, once gravity is overcome, they can soar or they can still flap to maintain thrust, depending on the bird or conditions.
For the aeroplane, the average speed is 80-180 knots where the principle of aerodynamics starts working. Depending on the aircraft, this is called stall speed. Stall speed is when the law of gravity kicks in. Aeroplanes require propulsion to achieve and maintain lift so they can fly.
The principle of Aerodynamics is constant whether the aircraft is stationary or flying. It just is.
So the terms "law of aerodynamics" is incorrect, it is a principle not a law. Why.
Under the right circumstances, it takes over from gravity. So gravity is a law.
How is gravity derived. Well there are theories and you folk in Aussie are upside-down to the folk in Canada (looking at the globe where north is up and south is down). It is to do with the rotation of the earth. If the earth stopped rotating, we would all float away so we would not need aeroplanes. Hence gravity, a law, can be overcome of be destroyed, but unlikely. The principle of Aerodynamics exists in spite of gravity. God invented it, man discovered it.
Now after that we can see the difference hopefully in laws and principles.
Now if we see God as The Principle, nothing changes in him. He is unwavering.
Now it is evident that by looking at Adam, laws were given as a guide. Stick to the law, you stay with the principle, break the law, suffer the consequence. Seeing God only gave us 10 which we find 8 of in most cultures, the sabbath and one true God maybe being absent, it is enough.
Enter man (deceived by satan thanks to uncle Adam) and he comes up with "Yes but...." and then takes the 10 and develops another 620 or so. Instead of the 10 being paramount as they should, they get lost and buried in the 620.
The result - R E L I G I O N.
Religion = Bondage, for those that do not yet know.
[Origin: 1150–1200; ME religioun (< OF religion) < L religiōn- (s. of religiō) conscientiousness, piety, equiv. to religāre - to tie, fasten (re- re- + ligāre to bind, tie; cf. ligament) + -iōn- -ion; cf. rely] source
Hence moving forward with the 620 + 10, which IMO were not from God but a man-made interpretation in most cases, we see the result of genocide and other atrocities taking place under the guise of "God told us"
Paul speaks of the result of the knowledge of law exposed sin and as a result brought death.
Laws are not principles
Laws come and go, can be broken
Principles never change.
So if you believe or do not believe Jesus is the way, does not remove from the fact He Is.
Blessings

seeker, Sorry to burst your bubble:
How is gravity derived. Well there are theories and you folk in Aussie are upside-down to the folk in Canada (looking at the globe where north is up and south is down). It is to do with the rotation of the earth. If the earth stopped rotating, we would all float away so we would not need aeroplanes.
Gravity has nothing whatsoever to do with the rotation of the earth. And, if it did stop rotating nothing would happen except we'd each weigh a few grams more and we'd have either day or night but not both.
In your etymology, you need to quote the entire citation:
*****************************************
religion
c.1200, "state of life bound by monastic vows," also "conduct indicating a belief in a divine power," from Anglo-Fr. religiun (11c.), from O.Fr. religion "religious community," from L. religionem (nom. religio) "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods," in L.L. "monastic life" (5c.); according to Cicero, derived from relegare "go through again, read again," from re- "again" + legere "read" (see lecture). However, popular etymology among the later ancients (and many modern writers) connects it with religare "to bind fast" (see rely), via notion of "place an obligation on," or " bond between humans and gods." Another possible origin is religiens "careful," opposite of negligens. Meaning "particular system of faith" is recorded from c.1300 ***************************************** Yes, it has to do with being "bound" - a voluntary bond between us and God. The difference between a law and a "guide" is that to run contrary to a law means taht there are consequences (although I know a lot of people who consider speeding laws to be only guides. lol) But I have to agree with you on one important thing, God may have created man but man created the attorney. Who else can take 10 simple performance based requirements and turn it into over 600 laws? |

Hi Gene
TY for the comment. I have read many theories of Gravity, fact is no one really knows, the most logical is to do with mass attracting but even that is a theory. I guess Only God knows how it really works. He is an amazing Creator.
There are also principles in nature that are referred to as laws of nature, they exist perpetually like the natural inbuilt desire to multiply. Plants flower in season, take away the bee or insect to do their part, the plant if perennial will flower in season w/o stopping.
A spayed cat shows signs of a cat in season, a castrated dog is aware of a bitch on heat. These too a re principles, they just are, some call them instinct. Laws can affect principles but they cannot make them go away or change. DNA can be manipulated by man not created like in cloning.
Point is God = Love, love is a principle thus God is THE PRINCIPLE. Changeless.
