It is never a matter of law vs no law, but has always been a question of whose law: The law of YHWH or the law of man.
Let’s get this straight. The law-giver = the god. Today, the law-giver to the people is the State.
When people like Carolyn Jessop make a statement such as “God’s laws supersede the laws of man” in the courtroom, naturally this will be taken as a major offense against the State…against the “people.” People say “ahh hah, he thinks he is above the law!” It’s a great big nail in the coffin, so to speak, of Raymond Jessop. That’s why she is saying it. Because the State is the “god” and “law-giver” of the people, and as such cannot tolerate an opposing law-system, such as that which is declared by YHWH in the Holy Scriptuires. To do so would be suicidal for the State. Ironically, Christians today don’t see that the same principle applies to them. Hmmm…
You will find the mass of Churchianity to be in complete agreement with Carolyn Jessop and those of her ilk on this matter of polygamy, because they themselves have rejected the laws and precepts and judgements of YHWH long ago, and instead worked hard to help fashion a new law-giver, in their own image. Result? The State. They might say to themselves that “we are to follow the law of man unless it conflicts with the law of God”, but fortunately for them it never quite becomes an issue because there are never any real conflicts. Don’t you find that a bit odd? I do.
Indeed, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…” and the State reflects this perfectly. The people/State, war against the Word of YHWH and his people. By and large they have been successful…only a remnant remains. Praise be to YHWH!
A jury that convicted a member of the Utah-based FLDS Church will begin deliberating his sentence. After a day-long hearing on Monday that included hours of testimony, a judge set closing arguments and deliberations on Tuesday in the case of Raymond Jessop. Jessop, 38, was convicted of child sex assault for fathering a child with a 16-year-old girl who was a polygamous wife. He faces up to 20 years in prison.The jury is deciding the sentence. On Monday, testimony included an FBI agent, a pair of Texas Rangers who testified about documents, and two former members of the polygamous church. Carolyn Jessop, who was once Raymond Jessop’s step-mother by marriage to his father, testified about her experiences within the FLDS Church.
“Polygamy was a saving principle of God,” she said. “God’s laws supersede the laws of man.”
