But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. - |
Christians are forbidden to be busybodies. Why?
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. - |
Being a busybody means that you are attempting to steal another person's freedom.
Is it legitimate for any person to be a busybody? Yes, but they should suffer the consequences of being such.
What do those consequences look like? They should be excluded from the company of freedom loving people.
Why then would we elect a busybody to administer over us? That is the very opposite of excluding them - it is empowering them.
How foolish!
The sole purpose of government is described here:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Let's take a closer at the preeamble:
→ more perfect Union
This means to facilitate smooth interactions between the states
→ establish Justice
This means that it should treat the rights of the weak and strong equally.
→ insure domestic Tranquility
This means that peace should be a prime goal.
→ provide for the common Defense
This means that it should defend the citizens against foreign invasion
→ promote the general Welfare
This means that it should support things that favor everyone.
→ secure the Blessings of Liberty
This means that stability and adherence to core values be preserved.
→ do ordain and establish
This means that the formers of the Constitution instill the Constitution with supreme authority over the government it establishes.
Nowhere in the precepts of the preamble or the Constitution itself is there provision for denial of freedom by the government it establishes. Rather, it represents an effort to completely deny the government of having any power to do so.
So, how did I get off onto the Constitution and government when the topic is busybody?
If it is unacceptable for a person to be a busybody it is many times worse for a government to be a busybody.
An individual has limited power to force themselves into the affairs of others. Whereas the government has unlimited power to do so when it denies the spirit of the Constitution.
So, here we are being governed by a busybody government.
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. - |
It is a fact that the people in government have beams in their eyes yet go about trying to cast the motes out of the eyes of its citizenry. This is an abomination before the Lord and before the citizenry.
Until we recognize the immorality in our current government and move to eradicate it, we will be unable to experience freedom and abundant life.
