GOD’S OWNERSHIP- NOT STATE OWNERSHIP

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at Him. Mark 12:17 (NKJV)

“… Peter and the other apostles answered and said: ‘We ought to obey God rather than men’”. Acts 5:29 (NKJV)

“Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?” Psalm 94:20 (NKJV)

 “Where the laws of men conflict with God’s word and law, we are to obey the word and law of God, whatever the consequences may be…” Testimony for the Church No 5, 22.2

 “…it is just as much sin to violate the laws of our being as to break one of the ten commandments, for we cannot do this without breaking God’s law.” Testimony for the Church No 15, 58.2

After God frees the Israelite nation from Egyptian slavery, with majestic power He descends upon Mount Sinai and before His gathered people God speaks His universal law in the words of the ten commandments. Then calling Moses up to the mountain summit God gives additional laws to promote clean nurturing life, health rules that His people might live free from sickness and disease.  Vital Force NZ

“Those rules were given by the Lord himself, and when followed, produced the healthiest people that ever lived. Let it be noted, however, that inoculation was not included in the list of preventives of disease. Perfect cleanliness within as well as without the body, is the sum of the whole matter. Clean food, water, fresh air, plenty of sunlight, regular, muscular exercise and a clean conscience, will ward off any plague known.

It may be said that vaccination and inoculation have saved many lives. No doubt they have served a purpose, and will yet do so among people who find that course easier than keeping themselves thoroughly clean; but to fill one’s body with death, as a means of warding off death, is unscriptural and unscientific.” PTUK October 5, 1899, p. 640.4 (Quote from prominent Seventh Day Adventist physician E.J. Waggoner about biblical principles given to Moses.)

“There are many ways of practicing the healing art; but there is only one way that Heaven approves. God’s remedies are the simple agencies of nature,  that will not tax or deviate the system through their powerful properties.” Testimony for the Church No 32, 199

A spiritual relationship with God encompasses a sanctifying interconnection of mind, body, and soul, housing a holy human temple, free of sinful contamination. Vital Force NZ

Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.’” 2 Corinthians 6:16 - 17 (NKJV)

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (NKJV)

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 (NKJV)

But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me. Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.” Psalm 31:13–16 (NKJV)

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”  Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)

“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.” Psalm 34:7 (NKJV)

“’Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.’” Exodus 23:20 (NKJV)

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.’ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

‘Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.’” Psalm 91:1–16 (NKJV)

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:31–34 (NKJV)
