Authority and Disobedience
It is a subversive and deliberate treason against the Kingdom of God for that is a direct disobedience of divine authority. It is also an offense of pride which is usually punishable by a verdict of downfall and humbleness. You disobey democratic authority because in the democratic government, you have freedom of speech and get away with it. You can disobey a republican authority because you have the freedom to say what you want and get away with it. This freedom follows you in all that you do in your life. It is a part of your physical customization. That freedom controls you and has no repentance customized with it or within it.
You cannot disobey the authority or the ordinance of the Kingdom of God and get away with it without repentance to that disobedience. It is a war you will lose and lose it very miserably. You cannot get away free of charge from disobeying the authority of the Kingdom of God. Lucifer tried it and ended up becoming Satan the Devil. God showed a perfect example with Lucifer on how he is displeased with the disobedience of authority. The origin of authority is the Heaven for that is where the seat of authority began. Nobody gets endowed with authority unless it comes from God. Authority is God’s channel of communication. Parents are communication channels most of the time from God to children. The communication channel to the spiritual realm of man is through the Holy Spirit.
Obedience to authority is God’s pleasure in all areas. Disobedience of authority, one should think, reminds God of Lucifer. In light of the Heavenly incident with Lucifer, one should also think that it would be more tolerable to God for disobedience against authority when it comes from somebody or substance not in authority. It cannot be tolerant to God when disobedience of authority comes from somebody or substance in authority. Lucifer was in authority. Lucifer disobeyed the divine authority. For this reason, Lucifer ended up in a worse situation than death. Lucifer was expelled from Heaven and ended up becoming Satan the devil, death itself.
For an excellent understanding of authority the way God sees it, take note of commandments number one, two, three, and five of the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5. These numbers are all on authority meaning that four out of the Ten Commandments are on authority. Romans 13:1-7 shows a more extensive guidance in obedience to authority. These two references to authority in the Holy Bible are just a few of all the numerous citations on authority in the Holy word of God.
Immutable Laws of Nature
God’s command and natural laws are immutable. The creator of nature has made the law in harmony with His creation. Natural law and the harmony behind it cannot be broken. Natural laws are filled with love befitting individual creatures. The lovely thing about flowers is the color and the scent they bear. Love is natural and has been made by God to be so. Love and nature belong on the same plane of existence. Unnatural love is not a true love but fake, pretense, and wicked. There is nothing more natural than love. The origin of love is God. The creative harmony is controlled by love. Love is the main foundation behind creation, love of God for his children. Nature and love are all harmonized into one substance. We set a chain reaction of disaster when this harmony is broken or destabilized. One good example of this is global warming, the consequence of careless and irresponsible materialism that never cares for creation and its beauty, the capitalists endeavor through greed to undermine the peace of creation.
Natural laws are made dependable on harmony within themselves backed by the immutable power of the creator to be unchangeable and therefore must be so. Its power is unchallengeable and can never be ratified. All natural laws depend on each other. The sequence of creation as it is in Genesis 1 is a good place to start in understanding this harmonious dependability. The sun must always rise from the East, and must always set to the West. The earth cannot rotate and revolves in the opposite direction. There must always be days and nights, and water has to be fluid not dough. We must breathe oxygen to survive and release carbon dioxide for other creatures to use. The plants must produce oxygen and uses carbon dioxide to grow. Each creation of God has love for coexistence with the other. This is divine harmony, guided by certain immutable laws that cannot be broken or challenged.
When Our Lord Jesus Christ commands us to love each other, He knows that the harmonious coexistence of this world totally depends on love, real love, not half love, not tough love, not fake love, or love that is shown for deception and hypocrisy. It is not the love of materialism. It is not the love of what we have or have not to decide when to love. It is not the pretentious love to get an inheritance when you know the inheritance is not for you. It is the love that has no clandestine motive, condition, or pretense of any kind. Christ’s gift of the Holy Spirit proves His teaching of love for humanity. Creation is then made to obey certain harmonious rules and regulations to become immutable or adamant in nature to mayhem.
Love harmonizes the creative principles of life in spirit. Man cannot in any way disharmonize the natural law as it applies to the general welfare of being. But man can disharmonize his individual association to the creative principles of nature. It is not even possible for man to disharmonize the flow of natural principles. Trying to do so constitutes or generates a chain of disaster. Disharmonizing the principles of life is equal and the same as disharmonizing the natural law. Harmony must exist in everything that we do before we do it well. Love brings harmony. Where love or rather true love exists, there is also peace, happiness, respect, joy and mercy. There is no need to have fear for what is good. There is no fear or confusion in goodness.
