Scripture Reading: Genesis 18:23-32

In criminal law, William Blackstone formulated the principle that: “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer.”  The actual numbers or ratio is not as important as the idea that the State should not cause undue or mistaken harm "just in case."  Historically, the details of the ratio change, but the message that government and the courts must err on the side of innocence is constant.  The concept is much older than The Commentaries on the  Laws of England, which is why I choose today's Scripture in Genesis 18, about the destruction of Sodom which, it must be noted, God did eventually destroy, but with the  innocent getting out of Dodge beforehand.  Similarly, we are told in Rev. 18:4 to, “Come out of her [Mystery Babylon] My people [Israel]... that ye receive not of her plagues.”  Blackstone's maxim was also absorbed into American common law, cited repeatedly by our Founding Fathers, later becoming a standard drilled into law students all the way into the 21st century.   I would be shocked and dismayed if Kurtis' prosecutors never heard of this fundamental precept of law.  Perhaps it's as diminished as one hour of instruction on nutrition in medical schools.  Or the spiritual analogy from seminaries that religion is only for people to feel good.

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 13:3

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them” Heb. 13:3 ESV.  I wonder how many Christians heed this passage or even understand the ramifications of what they're being admonished to do.  Although it's not Scripture, we have heard the idiomatic expression, “There but for the grace of God go I.”  I wonder how many people have committed crimes and have never been caught?  I wonder how many Christians think so and so should be in jail for something they think he did wrong, when in fact incarceration is no where to be found in God's Law.  The only justice meted out in the Bible is restitution or death, which is a pretty good deterrent against crime or what we call sin.  But, this passage in Hebrews isn't necessarily talking about criminal actions, or debt or immorality and certainly not your more heinous crimes of malevolence, but rather those who are in bondage for the sake of Christ.  Today we call them political prisoners or prisoners of war (POW's).  This is often the case with God's elect standing on principles and demonized in a nation under occupation and not under God.  You know you're doing something right when “men shall revile you, and persecute you, an shall say all manner of evil against you falsely” for the sake of Christ (Mt. 5:11).

Part 1:  A real life chronicle of one outstanding skinhead falsely accused of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.  He exemplifies the true grit of what young Identity Christian men should be.  An amazing story of an innocent man fighting for his freedom and yours.

Part 2:  Evidence from Washington state transcripts and witness testimony that proves the innocence of a man who has spent the last ten years in federal prison and who has exhausted all legal remedies, leaving one last option of clemency and your prayers.

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 12:31-32

In the 1st century AD Jesus was born into the world where the timing and location had to be perfect for Him to fulfill His divine destiny.  Judean culture at that time had a great expectation for the prophesied Messiah in anticipation of being delivered from the Roman occupation of what comprised the territories of ancient Israel.  Our people had to wait over 700 years for the prophesied Messiah of Isaiah 53.  Likewise, the Second Coming is a long wait and Israel would again be under a beastly occupation.  But, when the Anointed of God finally came 2000 years ago with His Plan of Deliverance, the people of the land refused to acknowledge the authority He brought with Him.  The Pharisees were among the people who did not approve of Jesus; Christ was not behaving in the manner they expected the Messiah to behave in.  Christ was not validating the religious establishment; the commonplace everyday blasphemies of the good old boys club; nor was He submitting himself to peer psychology whereby He was the clay and the people were the Potter.  He just didn't play the game of the orthodoxies of error that had become the matrix of society.  We feel the same rejection in Christian Identity, because we don't fit in to most congregations out there. 

And I have to wonder, is it any different today with Pharisees behind the pulpits of America, indicting those who function in the power of God with the same kind of inane disdain.  How dare you implicate Jesus having a racial message.  And yet we come for the same lost sheep of the house of Israel that Jesus Christ said He came for (Mt. 15:24).  The Pharisees within Identity and without in judeo-churchianity can say all manner of evil against me and other Bible believing Christian Israelites falsely, but when they perjure the authority of my witness or misrepresent testimony of our brethren with outright lies, they have blasphemed the spirit of one's calling from God.  Perjury is the deliberate falsification of the facts under oath.  So if one calls themselves a Christian, they are automatically sworn to tell the truth; otherwise they commit the sin of bearing false witness.  Are we not oath-bound to the God of Israel?  If they did it to Christ, they will do it to His followers.  Jesus said, “If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me before it hated you” John 15:18.  I tend to believe that our detractor's problem is not with us, but with God.  The Disciples of Christ had the same problem of people becoming Christians for the wrong reasons.
