“True Biblical Restorative Justice, And Tax Free !!!”
I am in hopes that in this and the next
few articles presented as in a series, I will be able to share and help
all of America to understand as well as begin implementing the return of
our nation to common sense through Biblical principles. All of the
articles will include Bible Scripture quotes to reinforce each area
discussed. I pray that not only the “common man” will benefit
from these articles but also that of Legislators, those of the
Executive Branch and all in the Judiciary will pay close attention to
these principles as well. I cannot think of any time in our nation's history
other than right now, that we need the Lord Jesus Christ and His help
for “We The People.”
In case you were unaware, the USA has
more laws on the books of all the nations in the world yet, we also
have the most incarcerated. Many Americans are under control of
probation, parole and other types of supervision throughout the U.S., State
and of local Governments law enforcement agencies. Statistics via the
U.S Bureau Justice Statistics
http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=2237
specifically shows us that;
- “About 7 in 10 persons under the supervision of adult correctional systems were supervised in the community (4,887,900) on probation or parole at year end 2010, while about 3 in 10 were incarcerated (2,266,800) in local jails or in the custody of state or federal prisons.
With
so many Americans increasingly participating in illegal activities,
we must take a real and honest look not only at these persons
committing the criminal acts but also at the judicial system which
punishes people for laws broken and any“illegal infractions”
made. Stating as such, let's now have a short overview
of American law and it's origination shall we ? We know, and all
should be keenly aware that the origination of our nation's laws were designed
to have minimal intrusion but at the same time guarantee protection
of all it's citizenry from those that would go astray from common law
and do us harm. Most of you understanding and probably agree with me with this
precept of early American History, we can also most
probably also agree that our nation's laws have become a facade for
what they were originally intended. They have become a false or fake
representation of what our American Founding Fathers presented to us
as what was best for the “government of the people.”
It
would seem that many of our current laws in the USA are no longer
designed to protect us but rather they are designed solely for the
purpose of the class of profiteering elites such as government
officials, judges, lawyers, police officers, and their special
interest groups.
I
believe an appropriate example of such laws passed and utilized for
profit gained for these elitists are Traffic Laws. Here, we see that
laws that were originally designed so that government agents could be
hired to guard our roads and highways In reality however have become “punishment for profit”laws. These laws are solely designed for a
financial reward incentives for these elitists previously mentioned. Traffic “tickets”
often carry a mandatory fine for the local government/court where the
infraction was made plus there is often a mandatory
“surcharge”(TAX!) for the state level elitists as well. Many
government officials willingly admit to, and without shame utilize
traffic law “offenses” to raise revenue for themselves. A local
or state government is low on cash ? No problem.... just send the
cops out to “catch” people “violating” alleged Traffic
Violations. How about this one; were you aware that in New York State
and in other states, for every “guilty” plea in Traffic Court,
the judge presiding over that court receives a “fee.” I call that
coercive justice, others may call it “the law”- you choose the
wording you like.
Perhaps placing enough blame here in the article against our government and the many unfair
practices of the government elitists, let us not refrain from also
taking time now to look within ourselves and see how we also
contribute to violating laws that we know are only designed for our
benefit(there are some yet still). For not all laws exist to profit a
special class of people in the USA, some laws were actually designed to help
guide us and truly keep us safe from evilists. These
certain laws (that I believe most of you will agree with and that)
were looked to as the foundation for all our laws by the Founding
Fathers; they are called The Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5;1-17).
Those are laws we should all abide in.... after all, I don't really
think any of us should be involved with murder, adultery, lying,
cheating stealing and all the rest of what the Bible declares as evil
do you ? Again, our American Founding Fathers knew that the Bible,
that is; Biblical principles are what gives us freedom as well as the
blessings in following them. These men who wrote our earliest
American documents were also keenly aware of the curses associated
with not following those Biblical precepts as we can see from James
Madison's quote; hear
t“
We’ve
staked our future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with
all of our heart. We have staked the whole future of American
civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve
staked the future of all our political institutions upon our
capacity… to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of
God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia].
Our Republic was made so that there
would be fair and Godly justice dispensed and those who violated
those laws would be given fair justice. Today, we can see that it is
not only our government agents who willingly violate Godly precepts,
there are many in the USA who also willingly violate God's mandate to
follow His plan for our lives and our nation. We need to restore our
own lives and our American Government back to what our very own U.S.
Founding Fathers envisioned for our nation and that is to place the
God of the Bible at the helm of our nation, families and personal
lives so that there may be a clear understanding that following God in all areas brings happiness, blessings and avoids God's wrath upon our nation.
To the degree of true restorative
justice, we need first to take the personal responsible act of
repentance before Jesus Christ for sinning and turning away from Him
and following our own selfish desires. Every American, rich, poor, elitist and other needs to abide in repentance-you cannot purchase or bribe your way with God. Repentance for all is step number 1, the
second step is that we need to corporately as a nation, a a society
and as a people do the same. This means our leaders must take
affirmative action in coming before God and making a change not only
in their own personal lives, but also in their man-made laws they
have allowed to violate God's precepts and principles. Thirdly, and
perhaps lastly, those leaders in our government, churches, anywhere
that hold authoritative position over us who refuse to repent, must be removed. One cannot Biblically restore a nation
of people without the total removal of evil. 2Chronicles 7:14 states " if
My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray
and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
“ Upon this last Bible verse quoted in this paragraph plus the
faith combined upon the finishing work that Jesus Christ did upon the
cross at Calvary is what America needs now. Always has been, and
always will be what America and the world needs. We as a people and a
nation have drifted far left of God's righteousness and His ways.
Justice and government is often corrupted in America and an increasing number of us, sadly, ourselves stand on the wrong side of God. Justice will return
to us as we repent and honor God in our lives and nation once again.
Every bible believing Pastor, every
Bible believing Christian has the ability today to do what the Bible
declares. Each Bible believing Christian has the ability to teach
Godly precepts and principles to others, especially in America with
so many Christian resources such as Bibles, teaching books, CD's,
DVD;s, and many other resources available to us. These resources are
not “treasures to keep to our selves”, they are to help others.
The Bible declares in Proverbs 27:17 “ Iron
sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
“ Every church in the USA should have an outreach ministry to arrested, incarcerated men and women across our land. The vast majority of
people incarcerated are not first time offenders, rather they are
multiple arrestee's who very often also come from fatherless and
parent-less homes themselves;

“Approximately
70 percent of men in prison come from fatherless homes.
Additionally,
85 percent of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes

To see a person wholly restored through Jesus Christ is one of the most beautiful acts you can ever witness. I have seen where Biblical Christians have acted as a sort of mediator between a criminal and his or her victim to see genuine repentance and lives restored. They understand and are convinced the same Jesus that lives in them also will deliver life to a person who is spiritually and emotionally dead...
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation."
For some of you reading this article perhaps you are thinking this is some sort of political liberal “get out of jail free card” or being “easy on criminals”, it is neither. What I am sharing does not reduce a jail or prison sentence nor does it enable a convicted criminal to commit more crime or re-harm their victim. What I am sharing is mostly contingent upon a government agent, convicted criminal’s or our very own heart; whether they or we are truly sorry and also wishing to make right to a victim what has been done wrong. Some victims will never accept repentance from an offender at any stage and that is their right to do so but many victims do want to see their own lives restored after being violated and will receive a truly repentant offender's true cry for mercy and forgiveness. For a victim, true repentance can certainly help in the healing process as well as likely prevent a convicted criminal from re-arrest and incarceration. It's a win-win for everyone involved when there is Biblical justice applied.
To my fellow Americans, we stand at the crossroads of either further cultural disintegration or returning to what our American founding fathers knew worked best. Which would you rather have, continued incarceration and an upsurge in crimes in America coupled by our government participation in the wicked cash making and spending business at our freedom's expense ? or would you rather follow the Bible, and see our freedoms restored ? Personally, I will take the Biblical way every chance I can get.
Isaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them.
