Sometimes you don’t have conventional witnesses to crimes. DNA evidence, as an example, is sometimes all the prosecution has. That at least, is irrefutable evidence.
This could well be an example of taking God’s ways of doing things into our own hands in what we think is a harmless modified form.
When DNA came on the scene, it produced a number of notable acquittals and vindications, helping the defense more than the prosecution if anything.
The Law was specific that there had to be two or three live witnesses and that they had to carry out the execution, and that if their witness was proved wrong, they were liable to the same punishment.
I see, and do believe God sees, an America that has taken too much into its own hands and has gotten itself into an unmanageable situation thereby. Prohibition for one. Various sumptuary laws for another. Nodding and winking at inhumanity as long as it was for “punishment” for yet another.
And we’re complaining about Communists? Communists at least offer a theory that would work if people could be perfect. While in the meantime, we are thumbing our nose at Christ’s “be perfect” which is achieved however haltingly by immersion in the Holy Spirit. Greater is He that is in us (provided we let Him in us) than “he who is in the world.”
Getting rid of Communists, if it were possible to do it by waving a magic wand, and yet doing nothing else, would simply mean Satan coming in through door B rather than door A. Churches missed a golden opportunity to show how giving all to the Lord rather than to some “people’s party” would result in peace and prosperity.
