|    "Thou Shalt Not Murder!" and The Holines    |

   From: mtodorovac51@gmail.com   
      
   A couple of articles ago, I wrote how certain circles are wrong   
   claiming that "artificial conception" does not adhere to holiness of life.   
      
   This is outright wrong: scientists and medical doctors have yet failed   
   to create living embryo from non-living matter or amino-acids, so   
   the term "artificial conception" is utterly flawed.   
      
   It can be called "medically or scientifically assisted conception",   
   after which the embryo inherits all rights of the "naturally conceived"   
   ones - there is no discrimination and absolutely no ethical nor   
   moral right to terminate life of the embryos "who do not turn out right,   
   perfect, flawed, or simply not as expected" in some possible mass-   
   artificially assisted fertilisation which is by eugenics meant to create   
   a super race or superhumans.   
      
   Which would mean creating genetically perfect humans by terminating   
   the flawed ones already in the womb by the prenatal diagnostics or   
   genetic tests that would indicate predisposition to illnesses, whether   
   congenital, physical, or mental that would impose significant cost   
   to the social and medical resources or simply be "genetically inferior"   
   as determined by future anticipated AI genetical tests that would   
   tend to predict features of a human being, animal or plant with   
   the aim of redesign of God-given creation and design by the   
   Holy Creator of the Universe, Maker of Adam and Eve, Merciful   
   and Longsuffering.   
      
   Ethics usually come after an invention, but here the invention is   
   already there for decades, and "mother farms" with State-planned   
   species of humans designed for special social purpose like the types   
   of bees in the hive coming from the same larvae and being given   
   different hormones had already been anticipated in science fiction.   
      
   Science fiction, though, is often wrong.   
      
   Killing so many BORG drones whose sole fault was that they   
   were forcibly assimilated against their will, via a sort of rape,   
   much like Alien but technological ... Is eliminating the entire   
   network of BORG infrastructure of the people who actually resisted   
   BORG themselves but have been overcome by a stronger force -   
   is it really a victory?   
      
   Another example is fighting against the Dominion and the founders.   
   The Federation "wins" by infecting Odo, one of the members of Dominion   
   who was sent to investigate our Quadrant, with a deadly virus, for   
   which only the Federation had a cure. Apparently, this is another   
   "victory" by a WMD (biological weapon of mass destruction).   
      
   This syncretism between science, holiness of life and the ultimate   
   Law of God Creator leads to the conclusion that scientific and   
   technological achievements do not make us superior, and especially   
   not genetically superior race.   
      
   The Ten Commandments extend to space and the Universe, because   
   they cannot be attributed to a Tribe that never upheld them completely   
   in the first place - being so scientifically proven correct, the Ten   
   Commandments have obviously a source in a higher principle   
   or Creator.   
      
   There is an obvious question: Did God Creator have a choice in   
   the gravity constant to make Universe stable and evolving unto   
   creating intelligent life to ask this question?   
      
   Also, could He had made a Universe in which murder, theft, false   
   witnessing, envy, mounted trials and adultery would be a norm and   
   a Law?   
      
   We can only repeat what is written:   
      
   1. Thou shalt have One God Creator of the Universe, Maker of Adam and Eve.   
   No other worship will bring deliverance from the material Universe that   
   will eventually either collapse or endure a thermic death, cooling to   
   average several Kelvins.   
      
   2. Thou shalt not make or worship any statue, image, amulet or object   
   and expect from them any help except from One God Creator.   
   No material object can deliver from the collapse of the material Universe.   
      
   3. Thou shalt not call the Name of God in vain, nor curse any holy thing.   
   The spiritual and material Universe are made by Word, and Truth.   
   Lie and curses destroy the creation. Using the Name in vain or cursing   
   God, Jesus or any holy angel or blood will bring only curse upon us and   
   severe the channel for prayers. Those cursing God will find themselves   
   surprised if He doesn't hear them on the battlefield or in a traffic   
   accident, earthquake, flood or other disaster.   
      
   4. Thou shalt hallow a weekly holy day.   
   Occupation with material problems of the work is God's will, but   
   we must not become entangled with work either. It is all going to   
   be destroyed in a Big Crunch. We only need to work to support   
   the civilisation, not for work to become an idol.   
   But laziness and idleness are also sin from the Devil.   
      
   5. Thou shalt honour thy father and mother, thy ancestors, teachers,   
   elders and priests!   
   Through all of these channels we receive education from one   
   fertilised cell of embryo ("tabula rasa") to the potential spiritual birth   
   that is supposed to transcend the collapse of the Universe and   
   the end of the material elements that are prophesied to dissolve   
   in fire (2 Peter 3:10).   
      
   6. Thou shalt not kill or murder!   
   First murder was committed by Cain, who slew his brother Abel   
   out of envy, for Abel made a better sacrifice to God.   
   So, the first sin was a lie: "Thou shalt not die, but become like gods,   
   knowing good and evil!"   
   The second sin was disobedience: Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.   
   The third sin was envy, followed by the fourth sin, murder.   
   It is significant that God did not murder Cain, but set a mark on him,   
   so Cain would be sevenfold avenged if murdered. (Not twentyfold   
   nor fiftyfold).   
   The second limit to vengeance is the Law: there was a requirement   
   of two witnesses and decree of judges, one was not permitted to   
   avenge himself.   
      
   7. Thou shalt not steal!   
   A society in which everything can be stolen make no effort worth trying.   
   Thereof people attempt nothing, and this is encouraged by the system   
   which considers private enterprise dangerous - everything must be   
   under the control of the Party, the State or the Corporations.   
      
   8. Thou shalt not false witness!   
   Mounted trials are one of the greatest examples of the evil of   
   false witnessing, often increased by envy and greed for the material   
   compensation for the informers.   
      
   9. Thou shalt not commit adultery!
