Cultured Stone Builder
Blue v16-33 Ch 35 Num
v17 Or if anyone has a stone in his hand that could kill, and he strikes someone so that he dies, he is a murderer... Many modern cultures today don't murder so much with the physical act of striking with a stone but rather with the subtle use of character exchange. We kill when we do whatever it takes to impress each other. Killing our neighbor cause don't want them to interrupt us. Kill our families cause don't want to take their calls, we are too busy, will get around to it when "I" have time. Kill our co-workers because promotion isn't anymore about who is best for position but who can sell their soul the best and give up more and more of their life for the money... so you can have the better life... if that isn't the irony of ironies. We are very fast and very good but it's made us very bad because the importance needed to be kept on the people. When i'm ready to make a bad choice it is only my truest friend that will try to stop me, to say something to help me, seeing how my choice will hurt me, and seek to avoid it.
v33 God said bloodshed pollutes the land, don't do it. As my Friend Who sticks closer than a brother (Pro 18:24), God is saying that it doesn't matter if that blood got there in physical form or the more invisible form by cutting somebody up on the inside in their heart or emotions... the Chief Cornerstone chose for you to build a different way so that when His Stone is put there first to lay the solid foundation (1 Pet 2:6), then put each other in place as the vessel of honor, one who is esteemed higher than yourself (Phil 2:3), then we may truly build a beautiful house out from living stones (Rev 21:19;1 Pet 2:5).
