I don't know if his real name is Eddie Jones or not and it matters little to me one way or another. I failed Eddie's check list on standards because at the time that I went through it I still attended theatres... Live theatre, that is. This pamphlet is old and I'll have to see if the United Pentecostal Church still distributes them; but there is alot of good material in this tract and though I may or may not agree with all of it, I surely agree with at least 90% of it. I do not know if Mr. Jones understands that it is the Holy Spirit that produces the fruit or not, having never known the author personally, but I would suppose that if he had the wisdom and knowledge to write a tract like this, he probably also knows that it is the Holy Spirit (JESUS) that produces the fruit �?not flesh and blood. Nonetheless, if you should find a copy of The Truth About Standards, you may well discover that it is a worthy read, even as I did. What really surprised me, when I happened upon it in my collection of tracts during my move this summer and browsed over it again, is that I had constantly kept reminding people for years on various MSN GROUPS (among others) that GOD's moral law does not change and lo, and behold, there it was, in black and white, in Eddie Jones' own words! For those of you who may not have the resolution on your monitors to read point number 48 in the tract featured above, I quote Mr. Jones: 48. Biblical Reason not to Wear Clothing that Pertaineth to the Opposite Sex: Deut. 22:5; 1 Tim 2:9 (This practice is an abomination unto the Lord, which means an extreme disgust and hatred: Webster. This deals with God's moral laws which never change. Mal. 3:6 The term "pertaineth to" means to belong to as a feature, to have reference to, or to relate to: Webster. Any trend toward a unisex look is an abomination unto the Lord. Whosoever worketh an abominiation will not enter into the holy city of God. Rev. 21:27) Now for starters, I just want to say that I don't disagree with Mr. Jones and I don't think women should be attending church in pants either; but the words "pertaineth to" mean exactly what they say and being a man, there are a lot of other sorts of female clothing, other than dresses, that I wouldn't be wearing either. I wouldn't be caught dead in pink slacks if I had anything to say about it, or a skirt, or women's underwear, or anything like it. My point here is that such behaviours are actually governed by the Holy Spirit. It is important to understand that a large part of legalism is adding new laws to the word of GOD that were not stated by GOD, but rather by men (and women) full of themselves instead of the Holy Spirit. A person who has the Holy Spirit will not be so deceitful as to try to convince anyone (including themselves) that they should look like a member of the opposite sex. This is confusion! Deuteronomy 22:5 is not a "thou shalt wear dresses only" commandment to the ladies. That was once a hard lesson for me to grasp in my daily walk with GOD; but I believe that I have the right attitude now and I believe I understand what produces it �?nbsp;certainly not flesh and blood. I wouldn`t mind having a little chit-chat with Mr.Jones but I haven`t a clue how to reach him and I`m quite sure he is very old and that he has lived a full life. This narrative isn`t about wearing clothing that pertaineth to the opposite sex so much as it is about STANDARDS and that is what Mr. Jones` well-written tract is all about too. The Holy Spirit produces holiness: holy attitudes, holy thoughts, holy communications, holy lifestyles, holy behaviours, and holy standards. You can`t produce holiness and neither can I. Holiness comes from one single source and that source is JESUS. There is no good thing in the flesh; rather, ye shall know them by their fruits. One thorough read of this particular tract should clearly illustrate that Mr. Jones knows the sorts of standards that holiness unto GOD produces. This is what I`m about to go on about and harp about and repeat, over and over: The illustrious APOSTOLIC ONENESS teacher, Mr. Jones, said (and I quote), "This deals with God's moral laws, which never change." And he supports his position with Malachi 3:6. Now this is so important that it bears repeating: GOD's moral laws never change. Did the teacher say, "Sometimes GOD's moral law changes"? No, he did not. Did the teacher say, "The Old Testament is waxed away and we no longer look to the Old Testament to learn what God calls moral and decent anymore"? NO. He did not. Did the teacher say, "New Testament law changed God's moral law"? ABSOLUTELY NOT. What saith the teacher? The teacher saith: "This deals with God's moral laws, which never change." *
Never. Not once. Not at all. NO CHANGE. MORAL. DECENT. GODLY. HOLY. NO CHANGE. Sometimes people ask me about the love of Jesus and they want to know why I don't write more about that. Some of the ladies really like that sort of thing. . . All about the great sacrifice Jesus made on the cross... All the sweet and tearful words... They have their tissue boxes handy by their keyboards and they're all ready for the drama and titillation that comes of all this emotionalism. Some ladies (and gentlemen) really do need a good cry sometimes and I'm not excluding myself from that number. I'm not downplaying that a broken and contrite heart and spirit is just the place GOD likes to begin His work; but it is important to remember that this is only the beginning! We don't just get the Holy Ghost and sit down... We don't just get saved and bawl our heads off at the altar repeatedly to no end or purpose! There's alot more to living for Jesus and living the love of GOD in spirit and in truth! Esau sought repentance with tears and could not find it. My guess is that he probably cried alot. I would probably cry alot too if I lost my birth right. Despite all his bawling, his heart was not right before GOD and he didn't get the Holy Ghost. There's alot of Esaus in the world today and I'll venture to say that Jacob isn't without the Holy Ghost either; but I'll spare the ladies their emotional rights. . . Both men and women must put their hearts right before GOD... This is a GOD-GIVEN RIGHT and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. For as long as blood courses through your body and there is still breath in it, you have the GOD-GIVEN RIGHT to get right with GOD. I'm really hoping and praying my readers "get this right" because it is true doctrine and it is essential to understanding scripture. Correctly and rightly dividing the word is not optional. Some of my readers know me well enough to gather why I am so adamant about this scriptural truth: GOD's moral laws never change. Nonetheless I think it should be suffice for those of us who know and fear GOD and keep His commandments, to understand why it is so very important to understand that GOD's moral law never changes. GOD's moral law concerns right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate, holy and unholy, moral and immoral, acceptable and not acceptable. It's not as though I have never written about the love of Jesus before... It's not as though I haven't shed my fair share of tears either. To be completely truthful, it is this very same love of Jesus that inspired me to keep reminding people that GOD's moral laws never change. Jesus said "If ye love me, keep my commandments." and lo, and behold.... GOD's moral laws never change! This is good news! Can you imagine what the alternative to this truth would be? Never being sure of GOD's moral law because it constantly kept changing??? Isn't JESUS wonderful? Don't you love how JESUS never once changes His moral law? Isn't this lovely? The changeless One and Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness neither shadow of turning, never changes His moral law! Isn't this a reassuring confidence that our Lord and Saviour has given us? His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Praise GOD! NO CHANGE! GOD's moral law never changes. What was good in the Old Testament is still good in the New testament. What was moral and decent in the Old Testament is still moral and decent in the New Testament. We need not wonder... It's all written in the volume of the Book. How very awesome is our GOD! How wonderful are His ways! This is the love of JESUS, even the Changeless One, that we might have surety in Him! Did I mention that GOD's moral laws never change? May JESUS, the only wise GOD bless you in the knowledge of full Bible truth! p.s. - GOD's moral laws never change.

"This deals with God's moral laws, which never change." - ONENESS PENTECOSTAL TEACHER, Eddie Jones. Yes, I confess... I did attend live theatre when I lived in the city. One of my favorite memories was watching Zamfir play live, at the Jubilee Auditorium, in Edmonton, Alberta. I loved the performing arts in those days but thanks to Eddie Jones and Pastor Daniel Mena I now know that these things are truly a vanity under the sun. How I would love to take these men to the task now and ask them if they changed their mind about GOD'S MORAL LAW, seeing that these men were so influential in my life when I was a younger man. GOD'S MORAL LAW covers ALL that is right and ALL that is wrong. GOD'S MORAL LAW does not miss a beat. GOD'S MORAL LAW is superior to man's Law. GOD'S MORAL LAW must never be contradicted or refuted. Even Christ never operated contrary to GOD'S MORAL LAW. The Man, Christ Jesus, never once declared an "ONLY ONE WIFE" law because he would have condemned the Father (Who was married to His children - Jeremiah 3:14) if He did so! (And I trust we know Who the Father is.) My friends, if there is any question concerning the proper and decent order and dynamic of marriage which was ordained and instituted of GOD, we would do well to look directly to GOD's own example: In GOD's example we would learn that GOD will not share His Bride (glory) with another god. In GOD's example we learn that GOD is not so harsh or hard-hearted that He won't share His love with other virgins (plural) either (Matthew 25), or fail to join with them also, if they are only wise, faithful, and true to Him alone. In GOD's example we learn that GOD is jealous over His Bride and His wives (plural) Ezekiel 23, and, in GOD's example, we discover that a remnant of His wives (plural) are found in the Bride of Christ. (Revelation 7). Notice that in GOD's example, GOD does not marry an husband. Same sex "marriage" is not of GOD. No, He marries a Bride. Notice in GOD's example, GOD never declares that the New Jerusalem is His "ONE AND ONLY". No, but in another place we read that GOD surely put away a whorish wife and also divorced another "spiritual wife" long before the coming marriage to the New Jerusalem, the new wife of GOD. Sadly, this is the case with many wives today. Most wives TODAY deal treacherously with their husbands. GOD understands this. Men are not much better. They would do well to follow GOD's example in these latter days. In GOD's example we witness that there is a great multitude, a plurality of persons, in the Bride and Body of Christ. GOD's example clearly allows for both monogamy and biblical bigamy to be practiced and even blessed of GOD, according to His biblical example and only His example. From whence cometh divisions and envyings and strife among Brethren? It has been the enemy's goal from the dawn of time to lift up the Roman motto: DIVIDE and CONQUER, but there is no schism in the Body of Christ. Men of GOD are required by GOD to provide, protect, and honour their wives even as our GOD provides, and protects, and honours both the Church and the churches of GOD; for it is written repeatedly in the volume of the Book of Revelation: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches �?not "church", but churches! (See: Revelation 2:7, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 2:17, Revelation 2:29, Revelation 3:6, Revelation 3:13, Revelation 3:22) Today, there are certain churches that would boast that the rest should stand aside and "make way for the Bride"... Well, I trust that they also know that there is a great multitude of persons (plural) in the Bride and I trust that they are not so given to such hubris that they think themselves the "one and only" in the full knowledge that only ONE can be the "ONE and ONLY" in every way �?and it sure isn't the Bride! It would seem to me that there are some that desire to usurp the authority and sovereignty of the only wise GOD, in their vain imaginations, to declare themselves the proverbial one and only! My friends, in all honesty, I have searched the scriptures thoroughly concerning this subject and I do not bar out the inevitable reality that I also have much more to learn; howbeit, there is no disputing the plurality that we witness in the singularity of the Bride and Body of Christ, which we understand to be the heavenly Zion and the New Jerusalem, which is no person, but of the Body, a great Nation and City, in which reside the souls of a multitude too great in number for any man to count! Do we then say that the Lamb of GOD marries "only one" person in that Nation? GOD forbid! So we see then that there is a confounding among the churches of the nations and a great confusion among those who hold the truth in unrighteousness that they would feign to covet His glory, even to suggest that the Church is the Son (or Sun, in some cases) and that they, themselves, are GOD! For these filthy dreamers would also reason according to their own fleshly understanding, that because GOD is but ONE PERSON, so is the Bride only one person �?but this is false! My GOD says that only one can be the one and only in every way �?And it isn't the Lamb's wife who is authorized to make this claim to one-and-onliness, but GOD only! The Bride of Christ and the Lamb's wife is NOT a PERSON! The Neo-Feminist, Matriarchal spirit (JEZEBEL) has equated "her"self with JESUS from the very day that Babylon was first founded. She wants people to think, "Who needs Jesus when I can make my petition to Jezebel?" WHEREAS the true Bride of Christ has NEVER ONCE declared, "I, and only me"; this is precisely what the churches of the nations have been declaring about themselves, even since the advent of Roman Catholicism. So it remains that Mankind would still secretly regard the Queen of heaven and suffer that lying prophetess. The churches of the nations do greatly err to say in their hearts, "I am, and none else beside me" for the same is also said of early Babylon in the Book of Isaiah (Chapter 47). When has the LORD GOD said, "my one and only bride", or where is it written in the inspired word of the only wise GOD, "my one and only wife"? Or where is it written in any of the holy and true scriptures, that GOD changed His mind to cast His Word to the ground and to abandon His promise to the nations? For did our Lord and Saviour not also say, "Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me"? And did the LORD not say in another place, "That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else"? Yet we would read in Isaiah, Chapter 47, that an other, in an other place, has made such a claim... A spirit that shows itself to be a "lady" over a nation and a spirit that sits in the person (singular) of a Queen. We read more about this spirit in Revelation Chapter 17. Now I realize that the "ladies" don't really care for this sort of preaching and teaching because it CONFLICTS directly with their fleshly minds and GREATLY HUMBLES THEM! Nonetheless the flesh is at enmity with GOD. No other group is so persecuted among the married than the men and women who know and uphold what GOD plainly called "two wives". Not even the homosexuals, lesbians, those who lie with beasts, and child molesters, are as persecuted as those who lift up this BIBLICAL TRUTH among the churches of men; but I will declare that BIBLICAL BIGAMY is indeed GODLY and even more so as we see the day approaching! (See: Isaiah 4). There must be a reason why those who follow after GOD's example are so persecuted and I verily believe that I know the real reason. . . Satan would lose immensely! There would be no more cheap excuses for adultery and whore mongering among men... There would be no more flimsy rationale for fornication... The dirty divorce lawyers and filthy magistrates would lose millions of dollars from their own pockets every month if they could no longer make their living buying and selling marriages in husbandry like farmers multiplying cattle and horses for want of silver and gold! Yes, it would turn our culture upside-down! And the GREAT HARLOT would be sore displeased! She would likely remind us that she is NOT PLEASED; but I would remind her that GOD is not mocked! 
GOD is not pleased, saith JEZEBEL; because she thinks she is GOD. RARE PHOTO OF JEZEBEL SPIRIT CAPTURED by GeorgesonofThunder And to the young men, I think it should be said: There is no disputing the truth and the example of the only wise GOD; but bear in mind that GOD is not mocked. Do not "pretend" to take a bride and then cast her aside like dog! Remember Hagar. Rather avoid those who would suffer you to be brought to an open mockery and shame because you secretly thought serial monogamy was Godly! O, that ISHMAEL might live before thee! were the words of a righteous man. A vigilant man honours his wives! There was once a woman in an other group who had evidently decided that it was her duty to remind me that I am not GOD. Men... WHEN (not "if") this happens to you, remember to look up! This is a surety and a sign from above that you are already halfway to righteousness. When women repeatedly continue to approach you to express upon this matter, what is usually occurring in the spirit is actually your own test . . . "You are not GOD, so stop following GOD's example", is what the spirit is implying; so beware. . . You are likely come against a Jezebel spirit. Pray always to be found in the will of GOD; for there are also men who would approach you in the spirit of Jezebel. Remember that a spirit can inhabit more than one body at the same time. So be careful... Pray that her demon never finds you or binds you in your flesh. Confusion is abound on the earth! Now we know that by one spirit the saints are also made weary, saith the scripture... And the means by which that righteous man, Lot, was so vexed should be clear to those who love and know GOD. Look up!!! Your salvation draweth nigh! GOD is not a woman that we should be jealous over Him. Avoid confusion and remember that these are surely the latter days. REMEMBER: The LORD GOD has need of nothing... Not even a wife. Rejoice in the knowledge of His eternal richness and know that GOD provides for all of them that are His! Avoid woman worship... Have mercy on the fatherless, and the widowed, the halt, the needy, and the poor. . . For this is TRUE RELIGION. GOD bless the reader JT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When women {or men} repeatedly continue to approach you to express upon this matter, what is usually occurring in the spirit is actually your own test . . . "You are not GOD, so stop following GOD's example", is what the spirit is implying; so beware. . ." - Jacobs_Trouble -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the reason that I keep harping on the fact that GOD's MORAL LAW does not change is because this is a message that seems to be downplayed by many and swept under the rug throughout all the churches of Christendom. When was the last time you heard your pastor (or any pastor, for that matter) state the words, "GOD's MORAL LAW does not change" ??? I thank GOD for men like Eddie Jones of the First United Pentecostal Church. When was the last time you heard any preacher man expound on the gospel message that what GOD called GOOD in the OLD TESTAMENT is still GOOD today? When was the last time you heard the message preached form the pulpit that not one jot or one tittle of the law has passed, so everything MORAL and DECENT and GODLY that was practiced in the OLD TESTAMENT is STILL MORAL and DECENT and GODLY in the sight of GOD TO DAY??? WHO HATH DELCARED IT? A: JESUS JESUS declared it repeatedly throughout the pages of both the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT. Alas, the churches today have selectively neglected to preach the FULL BIBLE TRUTH! The pastors know that if they began preaching this true gospel message that they would lose numbers hand over fist �?and that won't bring much money into the collection plates. The pastors know that if they began preaching what GOD called "two wives" (for example) let not man put asunder, 90% of the women sitting in the congregation would not be in church next Sunday... And we know what that means... It means that a significantly equal portion of the men likely won't be there anymore either! It means nearly all the children won't be attending church and it means that the collection plate will be mighty bare. The church will be branded "legalist" because the pastor said GOD's moral law does not change. Now this is serious. We need to consider the impact that this has on society when we reflect on what these words mean: GOD'S MORAL LAW DOES NOT CHANGE. It means that what GOD never called WRONG in the OLD TESTAMENT is still not wrong today. It means that what the LORD GOD never called wrong in the NEW TESTAMENT is still not wrong today. GOD's moral law covers all that is right and all that is wrong. It is my sincere hope that men like Eddie Jones and all followers of true doctrine truly understand this. It is my sincere hope that ONENESS APOSTOLICS are not actually born again hypocrites like the rest of the pretenders who deign to declare that GOD's moral law does not change only until which time someone touches on some self-right strong hold harboured in their heart. So many pastors, evangalists, and teachers waffle on the Word of GOD. Show me one who does not and he will have a friend for life. It's no big secret that in MOST CASES it's mama who holds the purse strings on daddy's pay cheque. Most pastors know this. I can only hope some of you reading this are getting riled at me for my words. . . I can only hope some of you reading this are wroth with me. . . I want your conscience to convict you of the truth. . . I want you to be HONEST and admit that GOD'S MORAL LAW does NOT change. That's right. . . I want some of you to get angry! That's my role. I want some of you to get ya'll stirred up! Because some of you reading this still think that GOD changed His moral law! Did JESUS get the Pharisees all stirred up and angry? YUP. Did the Apostle Paul, or Peter, or any of the disciples rock the boat and cause congregations to be so angry that they cast them out of their assemblies . . . Or even worse? YUP. I'm of the persuasion that some of my readers would love to see me stoned to death, just like the REAL CHRISTIANS were. That means I'm doing my job. . . It means that my ministry isn't dead; because a ministry in truth isn't based on numbers, or how many approve of the message, or whether it lines up with doctrines and laws that GOD never once declared. A true ministry is not based on how much money makes it to the collection plate or how many people give the pastor the praise. Odds are, if the pastor is winning the praises of men he's off course. . . He's neglecting true doctrine and the gospel of Jesus Christ! Any law that any nation declares that doesn't line up with the scripture is NOT a Godly law and it need not be obeyed. Now a true worshipper is always hated and despised of the world and that is why the world upholds ungodly laws. That is why not all who call themselves magistrates are magistrates indeed. That is why not all who call themselves rulers are rulers indeed. The scripture warns us of corruption in high places and rulers of the darkness of this world. We are never once commanded to obey them, but to obey those who have the rule over us indeed! Now a man cannot serve two masters so please consider in correct context, the fullness of GOD's word concerning obedience to Godly magistrates and rulers. Does GOD endorse abortion? Does GOD endorse same-sex marriage? If you despise the world and the things that are in it, you are not far from the Kingdom. If you despise what the LORD GOD called "two wives" you're still of the world. If you despise the OLD TESTAMENT LAW then you're still of the world! Friend, the world despises GOD's MORAL LAW (which never passes away) and the world pays their registered ministers to preach a message that is popular and a message that is easy to agree with. The world wants an easy believism message that will be easy to digest. The world wants an easy message that won't cause any division in the family, or cause the mother hen to get her feathers all ruffled, but JESUS told us, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Now the LORD GOD never called "two wives" adultery, or fornication, or sin. I don't have to prove it because I already know that my testimony is true. All I have to do is declare it... That's my job... To call it what GOD called it. The rest of it is GOD's job. So thank GOD if you're stirred by this message because that's the LORD waking you up to the truth. I recall a certain "pastor's wife" who attempted to ensnare me with the question as to whether I thought they should "bring back stoning". . . I was cast out of her group because I told her what saith the LORD. Did the LORD GOD abolish His law because all (not just some, but ALL) are condemned under the law? I think not. She wanted me to "take it back". She wanted me to repent of declaring GOD's perfect law (that condemned her) because she believed in her heart that the Blood of Jesus also washed away the LAW! But GOD says no such thing and it doesn't matter how many times anyone jumps into that baptismal pool, not one JOT, no, not one TITTLE, of GOD's law shall pass away. To suggest otherwise is little more than LICENTIOUSNESS. I realize the world has all sorts of paper endorsements and all kinds of legal sanctions drawn up, including special licences to commit sin, serial monogamy, and all manner of wickedness ... Now there is your legalism! Friend, legalism breeds licentiousness which, in turn, begs that new laws continue to be generated because GOD's law is never enough. Legalism is the act of adding new laws, which GOD never declared, to GOD's perfect law. Do not be decieved: There is a difference between what the world calls "legal" and what GOD calls LAWFUL. Now there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. When I speak of the LAW I am not referring to what the world calls "legal". There are all sorts of unlawful laws in the legal system of the world. The "pastor's wife" only told on herself when she stoned me for declaring GOD's law: She was evidently the wife of a Pharisee because she selectively observed the law instead of indiscriminately obeying both the LAW and the GOSPEL written throughout the scripture. What I find so ironic concerning said "ONENESS" churches (and most others) today is that most of them selectively observe the LAW while condoning (that means to wink at) the rest of GOD's moral law. I don't mean corrupt and vile laws established by the rulers of the darkness of this world when I speak of the LAW. When I speak of being lawful, I mean GOD's MORAL LAW. For example: Most pastors of Oneness Pentecostal Churches support Capital Punishment. Yet if I were to suggest to them that we should bring back what GOD called "stoning" the hackles come up and I am declared inhumane! Well, what saith the LORD? Did the LORD GOD declare in His perfect, MORAL LAW that stoning should be put away? I think not. So what is their answer to this? They then suddenly preach grace... They would switch gears to avoid the subject at hand, which was not grace, but the law. Methinks in nearly every case they wouldn't know grace if it kissed them on the face. Okay, let's fill up their "grace message" then COMPLETELY: Let's put away ALL OF THE LAW. What further need have we for the law if we have the grace to do whatever we want? There is no good, there is no bad, it's all relative. Is this Godly? I'm saying you can't have it BOTH WAYS. Either GOD'S MORAL LAW is good if it is used lawfully or it is not. What saith the WORD? Well, if we believe JESUS is the WORD then let's observe what saith the WORD: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:7) Did the WORD say, "I put away the law"? NO. Did the WORD say, "We don't write 'em like that anymore"? NO. Did the WORD say, "My grace has made the law obsolete"? NO. What saith the WORD? He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. Why did the WORD say this? A: Because it was the duty of these LEVITE PRIESTS to cast the first stone and they had to be clean before GOD prior to the execution of the deed; but these Pharisees were already guilty of breaking the law and adding new laws to GOD's perfect moral law. They failed to uphold the law in righteousness and truth. GOD's MORAL LAW covering adultery is very specific: BOTH the man and the woman "caught in the very act" were supposed to be stoned to death! WHERE WAS THE MAN??? Why should he get off the hook "Scot free", but not the woman? These self-right Pharisees already lost discernment in their own failure to obey GOD's moral law; but JESUS never put away the LAW. If ONENESS PENTECOSTALS really want to see GOD's MORAL LAW put away then they had better petition the White House and so-called government to put away ALL EXECUTIONS too, or they're nothing but a bunch of self-right hypocrites! It might equally be said that the Pharisees of today are no better off than those same stone-dropping Pharisees of old that were not even able to cast the first stone, and were equally unable to acknowledge what the LORD GOD called ONE FLESH! How much less were they able to acknowledge what GOD plainly called "two wives" in His moral law? They carried divorce papers for people to sign around with them wherever they went! This is how they made their living! Has someone then written a NEW LAW that declares that what the LORD GOD called "two wives" is a sin, or adultery, or fornication, or ungodly? I would surely like to read it. They contradict the WORD of GOD and any law that contradicts the WORD of GOD is not lawful. Think. How could the money changers (bankers) and paid religionists (Pharisees) make money from divorcement if TWO WIVES was plainly acknowledged and permitted in the sight of GOD? How can any true, ONENESS APOSTOLIC approve of Capital Punishment and still, in the same spirit, put away GOD's MORAL LAW? Friend, does this not smack of hypocrisy? Does this not fly in the face of all that GOD has declared moral and good? Okay, let's get the scissors out! One never can tell how far we will go with those scissors. Perhaps with each successive generation we'll manage to remove all of GOD'S MORAL LAW. Is stoning for adultery a dietary law? Is stoning for adultery a law that is contained in the ordinances of the priesthood of the Levites? Perhaps then the Ten Commandments should also be put away, for it is written: Thou shalt not commit adultery and we know that GOD'S MORAL LAW (which never changes and was never put away) declares the penalty that the Godly magistrates and rulers and the powers that be (whom we are to obey without question) are supposed to enforce! AMEN???  No? Well then, when was the last time anyone in North America was stoned to death for committing adultery? I would encourage the reader to investigate and learn just how often their local, regional, and national laws actually execute any active penalty for the transgression of adultery in North America. Rarely does civil law and the magistrates under any circumstances ever punish it, but some consider divorcement to be sufficient punishment for adultery. Sometimes I wonder, "punishment" for whom? I could think of a few individuals who would gladly welcome such "punishment" just to be free from the legal duty of marriage to a spouse.Will the civil law honor GOD'S MORAL LAW and change? Of course not. There's far too much money to be made by divorce lawyers and magistrates in family court rooms... Blood money. It is important to consider the consequences of obeying GOD'S MORAL LAW: If civil law practiced stoning for adultery (GOD's moral law) more men would leave other men's wives alone and more wives would remain faithful to their husbands (as other countries who still practice GOD's moral law have verified). How primitive! North America would be unrecognizable �?STRONG> almost tribal! Who knows what this could lead to. . . It might even result in a "village ethic" where children would learn morals and ethics from their community again, instead of tax-paid moral relativists! This would not do for those who make their livings and payments for BMWs and other luxury vehicles. What about their nice homes and suberbian life? Lawyers need to keep up appearances and tuition payments do not come cheap. Our legal system would lose a chief source of income for many lawyers and civil servants. Some might even have to find other sources of income. Some might even have to resort to honest work! Clearly GOD'S MORAL LAW is uncivilized. GOD's MORAL LAW can only apply to third world nations! Christian nations need NO PENALTY for such things. Yes, friends, that is the song I'm hearing being played throughout the entire continent of good ole North America because GOD's MORAL LAW is not honored here. How much of GOD's MORAL LAW are we then required to put away because "it isn't in the New Testament"? A: NONE There is a vast difference between the text and the letter of the New Testament GOSPELS bearing the account of fulfillment of GOD'S LAW in Christ Jesus (who was born under the law) and the actual, New Covenant which applies only to the Blood Bought, Born Again, believers. All creatures born of a woman are under the law until they are born again.The actual, New Covenant begins in the Book of Acts. It never, no not once, put away GOD's MORAL LAW. It never once put away the Ten Commandments ordained of GOD. Now no man, woman, or child can lawfully approach me with this LAW to say that it is wrong, immoral, indecent, or unlawful for me to have what GOD Himself, called two wives. GOD's MORAL LAW covers all that is right and all that is wrong. Remember: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. GOD's MORAL LAW has not changed and the burden rests squarely upon the shoulders of every single New Covenant believer to establish GOD'S MORAL LAW. GOD bless the reader
