And, lo, it shall be the law of the land again, for the laws of God outweigh the laws of the Constitution of the United States of America. Bow before his will once you’ve figured out what his will is.

We’re looking at the Ten Commandments this week. And now…

Commandment Number 8

You shall not steal.

Again, this one is pretty cut and dry. You shal not steal, period.

Jean Valjean of “Les Miserables” stealing bread for a starving child? Burning in hell.

Robin Hood robbing from the rich and giving to the poor? Hell bound.

Spies in the employee of the American government taking information from enemy sources that helps safeguard domestic security? Going to be pretty warm for them in the afterlife!

Using your board of directors to disolve the retirement account for your employees so you can give yourself a tidy bonus for only driving the company partially towards ruin? No problem. They voted to give you the money.

The great thing about God’s law is that it doesn’t matter if the courts on planet Jesus prosecute you or not! God knows and he’ll punish you once you’re dead.

Basically, your soul has this binary switch in it. If you die and the pointer is on 0, you go to heaven and get your halo, which represents the zero commandments you broke. If it is on 1, you go straight to hell for all of eternity.

God doesn’t care what your motive was for breaking the commandment. You can have the best reason in the whole world - even a reason that helps starving children - and he doesn’t care. You broke it, you fry.

I mean, how do you know that God wasn’t making those children starve for a reason?

Similarly, if somebody attacks you and you kill them in self defense, you broke big bad commandment number 6 and it sucks to be you when you die.

My point is, these are not conditional suggestions. These are commandments and the law is the law, know what I’m saying?

I don’t want any activist Christian judges trying to weasal their way out of consistently enforcing God’s laws once they are the rule of the land. You steal and, regardless of whether it is a candy bar or a billion dollars, you go to hell. On planet Jesus, you should go to prison forever for both crimes.

They are equally bad in the eyes of God.
