Misuse of Scriptures to Disseminate Slander is Wrong


        There is a story in 1 Kings 21:1-16 that speaks of the wickedness of using the scriptures and scriptural principals to slander, murder and rob the innocent. The story goes this way:

        King Ahab had a vineyard. His neighbor, Naboth also had a vineyard right next to the king's vineyard. King Ahab wanted his neighbor's vineyard so that he could have a larger vineyard to grow vegetables. The king asks Naboth for his vineyard but Naboth tells him that from Jehovah's standpoint, he cannot sell the hereditary possession of his ancestors.

        King Ahab is grief-stricken. He goes home, lies on his bed and sulks. He wife, Jezebel notices his sullen demeanor and asks him what is wrong. He explains his inability to secure Naboth's vineyard to his wife.

        Jezebel then uses his signet ring, writes letters to several officials informing them to have a fast in which Naboth is given the seat of honor. Jezebel then instructs that while Naboth occupies this seat, two good-for-nothing men should be found to act as witnesses to say that Naboth cursed God and the king. Jezebel them stamps the letters with the king's signet ring and sends them out.

        Just as Jezebel planned, Naboth is tricked into going to the fast. He is led to the seat of importance. Two good-for-nothing men proceed to make false accusations against him. Innocent Naboth is then immediately taken away and stoned to death. After King Ahab is told of innocent Naboth's death, he secures the vineyard so that he can grow his vegetables.

        Near the end of the book of First Kings, the bible goes one to explain how, according to the prophecy of Jehovah, King Ahab is shot by the arrow of an innocent (inexperienced)  soldier and left to bleed to death.

        There is a scriptural law that Jezebel used to accomplish her task. That scripture, Deuteronomy 17:6 says: At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses, the one dying should be put to death." King Ahab and Jezebel misused this scripture to slander Naboth, gain the public's cooperation in rendering this man persona non grata, murder him without a smidgeon of public sympathy, and lastly to steal his family's property.

        This is exactly what the European Jewish community did to Africans slaves in Western Europe, the Americas and South Africa. In the past, this community relied on the same scriptural principle that "at the mouth of two or three witnesses a fact is established." It garnered the support of scripture-twisting rabbis to promulgate the myth of a God-ordered white supremacy/black enslavement, argued to be based on Genesis 9:25-27. Once poor white people's anger at having been passed over for employment by rich whites was mollified (both rich Christians and Jews) and replaced with the ego-boosting white superiority myth, subjecting African slaves to back-breaking work with virtually no financial benefit and no public moral outcry was "a piece of cake."

        Well, the European Jewish community benefitted and still benefits from the promulgation of this myth. No doubt the European Jewish community would suffer some backlash once non-Jewish whites (those who are still naive enough to believe this nonsense) discover that this myth has no basis in the Bible. Although it is difficult to say what members of white Christian hate groups like the KKK would do once they discover that the pillar of their hate -- the inferiority of the black race -- is baseless, one can safely assume that they will not be very happy.

        In any case, it is clear that on some level, the European Jewish community,  is bloodguilty. Using the scriptures to promulgate slander is wrong. Hiding their members' behavior who continue to use the slanderous, diabolical doctrine is wrong. Refusal to publicly disclose some rabbis' racist misuse of the Torah makes the entire European Jewish community a group that African Americans should, save for a select few, wisely fear and avoid.

        If there is a God, if Jehovah is real, then the European Jewish community's refusal to publicly disavow this slanderous misuse of the scriptures will be met with the full force of Jehovah's power. Deuteronomy 19:16-21: "In case a witness scheming violence should rise up against a man to bring a charge of revolt against him, the two men who have the dispute must also stand before Jehovah ... and if the witness is a false witness and has brought a false charge ... you must also do to him just as he had schemed to do to ... and you must clear away what is bad from your midst. So those who remain will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything bad like this in your midst. And your eye should not feel sorry, soul will be for soul, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."

        Remember the story of King Ahab.
