 Trey Knowles: Risala 23 - To The World 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Do not lie. Do not rape. Do not trespass. Do not cause others to fear you. Do not drive wedges between people through anger, resentment, or unforgiveness, nor stir up inner conflict within them. Do not make others feel unworthy or condemned by constantly bringing up past mistakes to destroy their hope and motivation. Do not entice people with pride, lust, greed, or the pursuit of power, especially when they are stressed, lonely, or idle. Do not influence others to do wickedness or to produce what is wicked in media, television, or any platform, causing others to stumble. This is evil. For the acts of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. Those who live in such ways will not inherit the kingdom of God. Therefore, do not promote what is evil or profit from it—unless you yourself choose evil. Do not impose yourself on others or misuse your power to cause harm. Do not set traps that lead others to stumble and fall, for this reflects not the character of our Father in heaven, but that of the evil one. A sheep will always act like a sheep, and a wolf will always act like a wolf. People eventually reveal what they truly are—not what they claim or perform, but what they are at the core. A sheep does not suddenly become a predator, and a wolf does not suddenly become gentle. Nature reveals itself. Do not expect a wolf to behave like a sheep. Do not be surprised when a wolf acts like a wolf, or when a sheep remains true to its nature. A sheep walks in the open because it has nothing to hide; a wolf walks in the dark because it has everything to hide. One survives by trust; the other survives by teeth. And no matter how long a wolf wears wool, the howl will eventually break through. A person is cursed if a lion devours them, for the lion takes on their nature and becomes like a human. Those who are associated with the devil, or who operate in his ways, are often described as reflecting his nature. When a person mirrors that nature, they are children of the devil. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. A sheep and a wolf cannot live as one. For the flesh desires what is opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is opposed to the flesh. They are in conflict with one another, so you cannot simply do whatever you please. Therefore, walk by the Spirit, remain as a sheep, and you will not give in to the desires of the flesh, which are like a wolf. Let us distinguish: as it is written in ...
