The Accursed

Following on from the vision of the GOAT post, maybe we should take a look at this word accursed in the bible some more from a philosophical stand point.

1. Those that stray from the commands of God. Psalm 119: 21

2. Any infant that is born in New Jerusalem and does not reach until the age of 100 is considered to be accursed.

3. Israel in Micah 6. The prophecy tells Israel "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.


It tells Israel to "Heed the rod and the one that appointed it." 


"Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house, and the short ephah, which is accursed?

Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights? 


Your rich people are violent; your inhabitants are liars and their tongues speak deceitfully."


Its important to remember that there are not only Jewish people living in the land of Israel.


4. In the 2nd book of Peter it speaks of the people reaping what they have sown. Being paid back for what they have done for that is the nature of the spiritual law of the cosmos. 


The criteria for the prophecy is as follows: 


a.   Eyes of Adultery
b.  Those that concentrate on pleasure. 
c.  Those that transgress the spiritual law 
d.  Seducing the unstable. 
e.  Experts in Greed.
f.   Left the straight way home to God. 
g.  Follow those that love the wages of wickedness. 


The term for wicked in biblical times were those that did not live ecologically and self-sustainably, they did not take care of the animals and planet that is God's creation.  In other words they follow people like Obama e.g. politicians. 


Eyes of adultery are about desire because the Christ told people that they could not have two masters, they must choose money or God. 


Seducing the unstable, transgression of the spiritual law and experts in greed speak for itself. The USA, is considered to be the most greedy nation of all. Due to its consumption of the energy resources of the world and the sheer waste of them. Orthodox religionists are also famous for seducing the unstable as we know, the horror stories are far too many to mention from the nations. 


It does make one wonder why do people have to choose the hard way? When will they learn? 


All we can do now is pray. 


Then Abba said 'Till death do us part'. 


Nice ending to the lyric. 


"This is our lot,
To live together,
Not live apart.
Let's stay together,
Until death us do part.

Not just a day,
But till forever,
Just as the stars,
Just as the ending,
Until death us do part."
