Trey Knowles: Risala 23 - To The World <br /><br />For whoever does the will of our Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. Blessed is the European Caucasian who walks in the spirit of our Lord’s character. Blessed is the European Caucasian whom you can distinguish from a wolf, who does not come to steal, kill, or destroy, nor roam the earth seeking whom he may devour.<br /><br />Each man should have authority over his own house. Do not covet your neighbor, but work together with your neighbor in love. This includes self-centered craving for another person’s possessions, relationships, or God-given favor. Be content with what God has already given you. Focus on your own house.<br /><br />Do not establish laws that create conflicts of interest or promote self-dealing. Laws should be designed for the general welfare, not to protect the status quo of those in power or to benefit the elite. True justice requires that laws apply equally to everyone, rather than being tailored to advantage specific groups. Create laws to protect people from harm and self-harm.<br /><br />Do not treat soldiers as if they are emotionless tools built only to obey commands. They are human beings, not mechanical parts. Do not order soldiers to commit evil—and soldiers or officials who choose to carry out evil actions are accountable for the consequences.<br /><br /><br />Obedience does not excuse evil. This is the heart of the teaching. A soldier cannot say, “I was just following orders,” as if that removes responsibility. Every person still chooses their actions.<br /><br />Overcome evil with good. Do not create or seek out ways to do evil, for this is the way of the enemy. The enemy creates weapons to overpower others. The wicked rush to commit evil deeds; they hurry to commit murder.<br /><br />Those who try to make themselves great will eventually be brought low, and those who choose humility will be lifted up. True greatness is shown through service, not status. Better is the poor person whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse. Those who are poor yet depend fully on God are counted as truly great. When your hands are empty, they are available. When your heart is not crowded with self-reliance, it can receive.<br />
