Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor

It’s one of the Ten Commandments. It means what it says: it is the telling of an untruth; it means lying about what someone else is supposed to have done, and it is a serious sin. Lying to screw up anyone’s life is right up there with murder, theft, envy, adultery—a mortal sin that, without remorse and contrition, condemns the soul to hell, to eternal damnation.
 
The typical modern will scoff at the mention of damnation. Scoffers live in a world devoid of anything beyond the material, the physicality of being. For them, there are no lattices of existence beyond that which they can “kick.” Oh, they’ll admit to intangible mental states such as joy or anger or artistic appreciation. Similarly, they will agree that such incorporeal things as ideas, concepts, theories, etc., are real, but strictly confine these to such scientific areas as physics and mathematics. That there is a spiritual realm, a soul capable of defiling itself, is not accepted by modernists; it is explained away as myth meant to constrain and control the masses, or some such hubris.
 
Oh but woe to ye who are heedless!
 
Properly caring for the soul is a science and art in and of itself. It takes humility, tenacity of will, perseverance, sacrifice, and faith—qualities sadly lacking in the modern embrace of quick solutions and instant gratification in service to comfort, safety and security. Identity politics has no soul; feminism is a sham built upon an altar covered with the blood of innocents.
 
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are utterly detestable: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. (Proverbs 6:16-19 [1]). These horrors are now freely indulged in and were publicly displayed lately on Capitol Hill.
 
The spectacle of modernist pride and prejudice in a public forum, held out as standard protocol and procedure, sickens the People’s Spirit. It characterizes an insidious archontic motility that has infected the minds of many. And such spectacles are especially damnable when accompanied by edifices meant as symbolical stagecraft. Such a Luciferian “revelation of the method”[2] was seen in the so-called Arch of Baal. This arch was “coincidentally” erected on the Mall during the time of extended hearings concerning the nomination of Bret Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.[3]
  
Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor.
 
Neither should thou be a cowardly enabler of any such antics for fear of thine own base concerns. Being “politic” in the face of scurrilous lies only makes worse already grievous offenses committed against God’s law.
 
What space, private or public, is today not subject to such profane invasions?    


[1] More precisely, “These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to 1 Him: 17 l A 2 proud look,
m A lying tongue,
n Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 o A heart that devises wicked plans,
p Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 q A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who r sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19 (New King James Version)
