Book of Judgment Chapter 35<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GOD DECLARETH AGAINST THE GOVERNMENTS OF MAN.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: Whoso liveth with Jehovih is free from Jehovih. These need no man’s
\ngovernment; for they practice righteousness, peace, love, industry and wisdom, with due
\nregard to one another.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Such is the Father’s kingdom on earth. In which there shall be no laws made by man;
\nneither shall there be leaders or rulers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The progress of man is toward this; the progress of the governments of man should
\nshape toward such a consummation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. The time was, when laws were requisite unto all things, even to the manner of a
\nman coming in and going out of a house; and to every occupation that man followed;
\nwith licenses and taxes regulating them; the time of apprenticeship to a barber,
\nto a weaver, to a lawyer, to a preacher, to a physician, to a smith, and to all other
\ntrades and occupations, with examinations and passports to practice within the king’s
\ndominions; with rates for fees and rights and privileges.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>5. But these laws and governments were for the past eras; they were righteous in the first
\nplace, for they shaped man’s judgment, toward perfecting himself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. But, behold, a new time is in the world; from the acquisition of knowledge a new
\nliberty hath been born into the world. And it crieth out on every side: Throw open the
\ndoors unto all trades and occupations; behold, the multitude are sufficiently wise to judge
\nthemselves as to who they shall patronize.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Judgment is rendered against the laws and governments of man in all cases
\nwhere they prevent the liberty and choice of man to his avocation and knowledge.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. It is not sufficient for thee to say: Behold, the public will be taken advantage of by
\nignorant pretenders. Thou hast no right to say what the public will suffer, and thus base a
\nlaw on prospective damage.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. When the public have suffered, and when they, themselves, demand protection by such
\nlaws, then shall such laws be made. To make such laws beforehand, is to sin against
\nJehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. It was said of old: Thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath day. And it was defined what a
\nman should not do on that day.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Judgment is rendered against that law; nevertheless, I put not aside the practice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. But the time hath now come when man shall judge himself as to whether he will or
\nwill not keep any day sacred.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Moreover, man shall not, henceforth, be accountable as to whether he keep or not
\nkeep any day as a sacred day. Yet, this accountability shall be unto all men, whether they
\nfulfill in wisdom and righteousness their utmost capacities.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. There was a law of circumcision; but I render judgment against that law also, for it
\nhath fulfilled its time. This law, I put aside in practice. But I give it as a permission to the
\nadult, that he may or may not fulfill the circumcision according to his own judgment.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Judgment is also rendered against infant baptism; and I put aside this law also, and I
\nmake it an abomination before Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Nevertheless, when a child hath attained to fourteen years of age, and it choose of its
\nown accord to be sprinkled with water, to conform to the rites and ceremonies, then that
\nchild shall be thus baptized in the name of Jehovih, but not in the name of God, nor any
\nLord, nor a Savior, nor an angel.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. This is wisdom, O man, to have no law or government between man and wife.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. This is ignorance, to have a law between man and wife.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Yet, because there are bad men and bad women who do marry, it hath been found
\nnecessary to have a law between man and wife, as regardeth their duties.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. But consider how wrong it is to have a law between a good man and a good wife, as
\nregardeth her duties. Better is it for them to be thrown upon their own love and judgment.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. After such manner gave I governments and laws unto all peoples. To the bad and evil-minded, rigid laws, with many details; but to the wise and good, I come now as an emancipator, saying: Go ye, without laws and government, fulfill your destinies according
\nto your own judgment, that ye may be an honor and glory to Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. In kosmon, man shall not be longer driven in yoke and harness, but shall stand upright
\nbefore Jehovih, practicing his highest light with rejoicing, being a free man, and a brother
\nto his God!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Behold, the Uzians have a custom of eating bread, and drinking wine, saying, after the<\/span>
\n<\/span>manner of the worshipers of Baugh-ghan-ghad of old: Eat of this, for it is my flesh; and,
\ndrink of this, for it is my blood, signifying, that that they do, was commanded by me, God
\nof heaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Judgment is rendered against this custom, with abhorrence; moreover, it shall be,
\nhenceforth, known as blasphemy against Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Thy God never commanded man to eat flesh and blood, nor pretended that bread and
\nwine were flesh and blood, nor commanded them to be eaten in remembrance of the flesh
\nand blood of any man born of woman.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Also have they a custom of decorating and draping themselves in crepe, and
\ncharacterizing the same as a sign of mourning for the dead.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Judgment is rendered against such custom, but without prohibition.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Jehovih created alive, and Jehovih taketh life away, for all things are His.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. Remember thy Creator with wisdom; and neither in thy dress nor habit shalt thou
\ncensure Him for what hath been.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Neither curb thou the full sorrow of thy heart and thy soul, because thy brother or
\nsister, son or daughter, or father, or mother hath passed away.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. But remember, Jehovih is over all His works, and provideth wisely unto the living and
\nthe dead.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. Jehovih hath said: To man I gave an earthly body that he might learn earthly things;
\nbut death I gave to man that he might rise to the inheritance of My heavenly kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. He appointeth a time unto all; to some an hour, to some a year, and to some a hundred
\nyears; every one fulfilleth to result in wisdom and happiness, and for the glory of the
\nAlmighty.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
