Helping People grow!

Thou shalt not kill

I read that Thou shalt not kill in old Hebrew Law means we should not ruin another person’s reputation, because if we do we kill the person.

We are all born for a purpose. You may have been born to help and protect me, or I born to help and protect you, because one of us, or both of us may have some great purpose that we have not yet realized.

If someone comes along and physically kills you then that person stops dead your life purpose.
For instance, if he or she were to become a great responsible writer, like another Charles Dickens, and that person was killed at 15 years old then that task will not be completed, that person will never become a writer.

The effect is basically the same if you or I destroy another person’s reputation.
He or she may have been born to have a great positive influence in that community, and that is killed once the reputation of that person is harmed, so much so, that the local people fear this person and refuse to have anything to do with he or she, thus making the destiny of the individual change and laying their ability to heal, teach love, and care for the people completely ineffective.

As you can see, Thou shalt not kill, has two meanings.
One to kill the physical body and the other to kill the public character of a person.
Both will destroy the work that God gave to that person before he or she was born, and many suffer because the great work was never completed.

We all have a purpose, a meaning, a reason for being born in this time in history.
Our purpose becomes apparent as we mature mentally and feel a strong pull in a certain direction, for instance to become a writer, artist, leader, and so on.

Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.

Throughout history there are people who did not do well while alive, but after death they were famous and honored. This could be because they had a destiny to heal and change the world for the better, but their reputation was tarnished by haters leaving the victim of the hate no choice but to write, paint, and do whatever their talent was and then after a poor, struggling life, after death and most of the haters dead as well if not all, the people finally observed the talent and realize what the true message was.
It is just a pity that the messenger had to suffer and die sad, lonely and in poverty because haters tore the innocent person’s reputation apart.

Maybe a person was to do something amazing, and God put you ( like Joseph or Esther) in a position where you can help others. Or God had you born to protect a Prophet, to be the evidence of the Prophets innocence, and allow the work to be done.

Whatever your calling is, it is important no matter how scary it may seem. If God put you there to help out, then you should do it.

We should always be wary and not kill people physically as best as we can, and also not hurt another person’s reputation, for we know not what their real godly calling is and how that will affect the rest of the world.

All the best from
