"They just don't get it."
I wrote in reply #49 :
. " The terror will come to their doorstep and into their houses because of their perjury and evil. It will consume them and they will not escape."
This is a reference to Zechariah 5:1-4 which describes a flying scroll, a curse which the Lord will send to enter the house of perjurers, that will remain in the midst of the house and will consume it.
I might add the same verses say that the same curse will be used by God to destroy "thieves" as well as "perjurers" "over the face of the earth". One can see that thieves in government, in Congress, in the White House who deal in insider trading, and who take bribes from corrupt corporations (Pinnacle, Harken, Enron, Global Crossing), terrorist groups (Hamas, InfoCom, Holy Land Foundation)) and individuals (Khalid Mahfouz, wealthy Saudis and Bin Laden businesses and supporters) and terror nations like China are THIEVES themselves that will be consumed the same way as perjurers.
Government officials in DOJ, FBI, Congress, White House, etc, who are to uphold the law and protect the public from corrupt business thieves, will be dealt with even more severely by God when they perjurer themselves to cover-up their own involvement in bribes, being thieves and threatening witnesses to government cover-ups of and foreknowledge of terrorist murders.
_Jim and others in government should read Zechariah 5:4 but I wonder if they will scoff at it and doubt and say "where are these so called judgments of God"?
When it comes to the Bible and God's Word, _Jim is correct, I am downright bold in telling others what it says especially when they need to know what it says to save themselves from their own evil acts. If they were not warned boldly and clearly, they could try to claim that they had not been fairly warned.
I love them as people but I do not love what they do. God is not desirous that they perish in their own sins, that is why He had His Word written in the Bible and why we as believers are encouraged to boldly tell others about what is in the Bible so they won't perish. This is one of the ways God gives these people extra chances to repent.
Why do they not get it? Here are some of the possibilities:
They do not believe in or fear God and what He has said He will do about their type of evil in the Bible. When you repeat back to them what the Bible says they immediately try to claim you are trying to speak for God and be judge and jury. God will be the judge and jury but it does not take a rocket scientist to tell others what God has said in the Bible what He will do about evil like theirs in these situations.
They have a seared conscience and have become so reprobate that they are blind to their own lying and evil. This is another reason why they can be picked off by their weakest enemies-they lose their own wisdom to protect themselves with when they become reprobate. "Professing themselves to be wise they have become fools". To them, the "ends" has justified their "means" of lying and perjury. The "ends" for them is to protect themselves and their own perverted sense of preserving a corrupt DOJ and FBI system at all costs.
They still believe that by lying about the facts of these cases and by trying to smear others religious beliefs they will succeed in a cover-up at least before men. Even if they were to succeed with fooling men they either do not think there is a God who sees and who keeps score and holds them to account or they are willing to take a chance that they can repent in time before they die.
Even if these men no longer have a conscience, they are not free because they always have to worry about what other men will catch them at. These men have become dangerous because they are desperate and paranoid. Some even hope by killing the messengers and the message of God, they will be free of men's critical eyes. But if they kill the messenger and ignore the message, do they will even less free and even more tormented and will seal their own doom.
