His Innocence Becomes Her

Their proving her violation of their Law did not justify any judgments against her, because it was their "Law" itself that had an offense committed against it. Their law had been offended, not necessarily they themselves.
Had they agreed with the Law, consented to it, willingly submitted their hearts and minds to it and knew themselves only in accordance with it's words, seeing these words as though they were alive and living, obliging to them as to a loving parent, helplessly consumed and hopelessly dependent on the heart and soul of it's voice... Thanking the source and author of these words for it's impact on their lives, as thanking the Spirit for life itself...
Had they seen obedience to the words of their Law as their sole-source-- as the initiator, maintainer, and the defender of their social and economic abundance and provision, if they'd credited their faithful allegiance to their Law as being the stable source of every needful provision in their lives, seeing the hope contained in the substance of the Law's words as protection and security in life, as an enduring shelter in the midst of every storm. I promise you this, had they attributed every good thing in their lives and every shred of their confidence in their nation, themselves, and put their confidence in the future fulfillment of every good hopes into the complete satisfaction and perfect fulfillment of THIS Law... THIS Law of which I speak would be, to them, as a rich agricultural field containing an even richer hidden treasure under it's surface compared to which the riches of field literally pale in comparison.
What I'm saying is that had they literally been the incarnation of their Law-- if they were sustained and nourished by it as one is by their daily bread, and were joyfully intoxicated by it as one would be by a cool smoke coupled with fine wine. If they saw their Law as being the express image of Perfection itself, and defined perfection as the "perfect" fulfillment of THAT Law-- If it's satisfaction is all that mattered to them. If like a clingy child to it's beloved parent, it mattered more to them than ANYTHING else. If they were so shamelessly obsessed with it that even the law-abiding, law-executing, sinless angels of Heaven appear relatively resistant, unsure and even borderline non-compliant in comparison to the extreme degree of unprecedented devotion to this law on display in them.
Unless everything I described above about those whose devotion to the Law are undivided, a statement from a man who claims, "You violated my law!" wouldn't necessarily equate to "You've violated ME!" Unless the person accusing were himself personally offended by the violation of that Law, as if he himself WERE that law, He'd have no authority to execute on the law's behalf. Unless he were himself a faithful servant of the law, how could he dare to pretend to be an administrator of the law's demand for justice?
How could someone who himself exists in violation of the Law by standing against the very ones the Law exists to SERVE, even hope to pass himself off as a Servant of the Law or as an Administrant of it's Justice? Even the Law itself exists only in service to the PURPOSE of the Law. How then could someone who ignores the Law's purpose ever be mistaken as a legitimate legal authority? You could buy a cop outfit from a costume shop or a party-city, but if you try executing the legal authority represented by your outfit without having been officially recognized by that authority to legally execute on it's behalf, if you literally go to arrest someone without having been given explicit authority to do so, it doesn't matter if you're literally wearing your twin-brother's cop uniform, the "arrest" is only as strong as the authority that's doing the arresting. You may fool the eyes of men, but as the Seven Sons of the Jewish High Priest would testify, that doesn't really amount to much.
This topic is still as relevant on Earth as it's always been in Heaven. How could an entity that literally stands to benefit from violations of the Law, ever hope to pass itself off as a legitimate servant of the Law's purpose? At what point does the organization whose modus operandi is the absolution of some threat themselves become threatened by the hope of the fulfillment of it's own purpose? At what point do they knowingly rebel against their own cause and perpetuate and manage something it'd been officially established in order to destroy! At what point does a Father actively work against his daughter leaving the nest?
If there's someone who is out there profiting as a result of what is stripped from those who've been rightly counted guilty as a result of every time they violate and transgress the Law's commands; If there are people out there who await occasions to bring violations of the Law and accusations concerning the short-comings of others to the attention of the Head Minstrant of Justice, and if the one who Judges is perpetually approached as-if nothing would please him more than to be informed of any infractions of his laws so that He could punish and reprimand the violates, and if they continually mistake him as one who would for some reason enjoy being reminded of the penalties any infractions of His law enable him to execute. If they mistake him as itchy to press the red button and rain down hell-fire and if they count punishment against humans as the objective of the penalties described by the law as being attributed to humans behaving out of accords with it, I'll tell you something that'll just have to make due... Every punishment ever attributed to any action in violation of any one of God's righteous ways or holy laws was completely absorbed by the One man Jesus Christ on behalf of all mankind in His name.
If there are people who out there who still revel in keeping track of violations Love's Law and are calling exclusively for a response of condemnation, denying our capacity to forgive and absolve, insisting only on condemnation yet rejecting the sufficiency of the condemnation already absorbed on behalf of every violator by the gracious sacrifice of Jesus as God's lamb, and if people are still out there promoting the knowledge of good and evil as the only appropriate response, that's like a dude trying to hide his Adam's apple, or like a snake trying hide it's lisp. I'm not buyin it guys... a SEVERE suspension of disbelief would be required, the children of the day and the children of the night are plain as day to distinguish between, thas all I'm sayin.
There've been instances when having personally taken no offense at some action, comment, or gesture some body among us was offended at, and because of the relative importance we placed upon this one's satisfaction and continued esteem, we've likewise taken positions against others. We didn't take these positions in response to our offenses or compelled by own personal initiative, but only in response to the initiative of the one above us whose esteem and satisfaction we hope to remain recipients of.
If our innocence is dependent upon our blameless standing according to the law of the owner and master of the house we live in, then we are not counted sons or heirs of the master whose house we live in. The only acceptable explanation of this, seeing as though we are indeed sons and heirs of God, would of course be that for as long as the heir is still a child or a minor, he differs nothing from a slave. So to everyone sick and tired of living like a slave in a house you're actually the owner of, God's public announcement of our mature sonship is a MAJOR deal.
Jesus' Resurrection was YOUR Bar Mitzvah
On discovering that we are co-owners of the universe, we're no longer subject to rules, laws, and limitations of created beings. Our Creator's reveal of Himself as our Father gave us a position now revealed as having been established above the reach of the created order. Yeah-Boyeee!
What distracts us from this? People out there complaining about their so-called offenses. Remember, there was not one among them who had been personally "offended" by anybody's offenses of the "Law" of Love and had they been, they would have responded to an occasion to blame as if it were an occasion to forgive, and would endorse your enjoyment of the same righteous and blameless innocence as those who've never committed any such offense against them. But seeing as how they're calling for punishment, judgement, and your service of what you're obliged to perform on their behalf, they prove the offense they voiced was only of the Law itself. One who would accept you performing for them out fear and obligation is of an inferior standard than the one who would rather only accept that which comes from you freely, without guilt, without manipulation or demands, coercion, or pressure
If the offense taken against you was in response to an offense of the Law, then from the Giver of the Law do you require forgiveness. Who else would have innocence before the Law, and if they don't have innocence before the Law they're condemning you for violating, does their condemnation matter? And if they say they forgive you, but do not have innocence before the Law, by what power are they able to extend to you the experience of innocence before the law? They can give you innocence before THEM, but before the law? That's out of their authority and the shit they flung on you out of their capacity to atone for or remove on your behalf. Someone owing you something loses relevance when they having nothing to give. You might not think God owes you forgiveness, but that loses relevance when you realizes that no one else has any legitimate legal-forgiveness for you to give!
Who would be offended at someone for offending someone ELSE? Would a man be offended at a comedian for offending his wife or girlfriend? How deep would that offense really be? In a practical sense, the Law is a some-ONE and not a some-THING.
The some-ONE (Jesus Christ) was crucified for our freedom from some-THING (The Law of God)
We're forgiven of everything that could ever possible offend Jesus.
As for the things that may possibly offend your wife or girlfriend? Well.. Brother I'll pray for you.  -f
