born in the land: when he blasphemeth the Name of the Lord, let him be slain
”- Leviticus 24:11-16 (1599
Geneva Bible)
Thus, the Law hints at the idea that God’s own religion doesn't consist of having “the right theology”; rather,
it has to do with having “the right morality” (Micah 6: 8, & Psalm 37:27). And this is why public immorality
is the sin God won't tolerate. In fact, He abhors immorality so much, that took personal care warning us
against it. How? By writing upon the two stone tablets the following words (with His own “fingers”!): “
Do
not commit adultery, do not steal, do not lie, do not insult your parents... etc
”.
So, the Israelite who willingly chooses to openly disobey the God of the Hebrews [living a life of outright
immorality], will sooner or later be punished, suffering the Divine curse. Why the Divine curse? Because
Scripture teaches man is destined to “eat” the fruit of his hands; that is to say, each person will have to “reap”
the same evil [or goodness] he has sown. And, since [with his immoral behavior] this man has induced others
to curse the Creator, it is fair that he be forced to reap the same curse he has planted.
You see, when a man claims to be part of God’s Holy people (Israel), and then goes on and openly practices
the homosexual lifestyle, the public feel entitled to curse the God of the Israel, saying: “This man claims to
be part of God’s People, but he openly practices the Homosexual lifestyle.
Could it be that he is imitating his God, who also is an open Homosexual?; When a man claims to be a
Hebrew believer, while openly embracing theft and fraud, the enemies of Israel are justified in cursing the
God of the Hebrews, saying: “This one claims to be a Hebrew believer, yet he is a thief and practices fraud.
If the God of the Hebrews doesn’t mind, perhaps it is because He himself is also a thief and a fraud ”;
When a Hebrew believer goes and lies publicly and shamelessly, the wicked ones curse the God of Israel,
saying: “This guy claims to be part of God’s holy People, but he is a lying and shameless sophist. From
whom did he learn it? Could it be that he learned it from his own God, who is as shameless as he is, and
therefore has no problem with such low life morality?;
When a believer claims to be part of God’s Holy People, and then goes on to murder another human being,
the wicked ones are empowered to curse the God of Israel, saying: “This guy claims to be part of the People
of God, but he is a murderer. Is it because his God is also a murderer?
Thus, the Hebrew believer who acts immorally, will be condemned to reap the same curse with which he
caused the wicked to blaspheme the God of Israel.
And this is what happened to King David [after abruptly finishing the life of Uriah, an innocent son of God].
Since this action of David caused the wicked to curse the God of Israel, God brought the same curse upon
David. How? By letting him experience how the life of his innocent son was also abruptly extinguished.
As it is written: “
