VIOLENCE is truly the modern word for SIN, SINNING AND SINFULNESS. Without associating Violence with Sin--the chaotic, aggressive, immoral or sarcastic elude most people as SINNING. The Preacher's message against sin has become dull, and is no longer heard. The reason is that the society has failed to associate Violence with Sin. Sin--the old spiritual word is synonymous with Violence. And VIOLENCE has so many other names, e.g., Terrorism, Religious Wars, Emotional Disturbances, Offending, Harming, Pestilence, Famine, Disease, Assault, Hatred, etc. The list goes on and on and we know it. For this reason, acts of Murder, Stealing, Greed, Profanity or Immorality... are acts of Violence. Violence is that word that describes the entire 10 Sinning Acts in the 10 Commandments. So when is it OK to Sin? How will SIN be made comfortable for the next generation? Let's look at the Gun Laws for instance--Laws of Violence, Rules to Offending, Practical Principles of Hatred and/or Authority to Harm. These are new ways to legalize sin. Our gun laws legislate sin. The right to harm and carry instruments of offending is legislated attracting heavy spending. Let the conscience speak. Is it alright to legislate tendency to violate, offend, harm or hate among the youth? These opposing laws authorize the vulnerable to expand their scope and increase their populations in the criminal justice system. If it becomes OK to tout hatred by weapons of violence, would leadership not also legislate the immoral, corrupt, stealing, greed, embezzlement? Let's be sensitive--Violence or Sin and these Instruments perpetuate the decay factor in our society.... These can all be turned off, minimized and extinguished.We owe posterity awakened consciousness. Associating weapons of Violence with Sinfulness, help shun evil. Limiting these means embracing National Peace, Security, Safety and such. If we commit to Peacemaking sacrificially, we attract personal Peace, Safety and Security and transform individually, socially, politically and economically--for our generation.Personal sacrifices litigate the Enemy dragging the Avenger and the Foe into divine court of Justice where martyrs rule. By obeying the Seven Laws of Sacrifices we suspend judgements against self and loved ones, frustrating the enterprise of wickedness. These laws promote peace, cancel negativities and extinguish claims against you, your society and your possessions. They are the Laws of Peacemaking. Global Peace, National Security and Safety are founded upon these principles for sustainable development, self-transformation, environmental stability and social reform. Such are dream promises that every responsible care issues, which government makes to their citizens. Violence, terrorism and conflicts pose serious health threat, thwart sustainability and waste spending. Violence is the issue in the criminal justice system and the dilemma in human rights protection. Bust Sacrifices of Peace eradicate diverse intensities of conflicts and behaviors that threaten us. As Divine Peacemaking eliminates hostilities universally, our united effort banishes all types of fear, correcting the negative, righting wrongs. Chaos will retreat, brute tendencies with distinct types of selfishness will be curtailed to balance natural laws. "Feasting the Enemy Peace" restores generations stagnated in conflict back to times of prosperity. Feasting Laws are weapons--the passcode of Masters. The Temple Church is the divine agency that establishes these metaphysical principles for global peace, security and safety. The Temple Church represents sustainability and threats-reversal.
