Piracy? Two.

Taking by Force?

As believers there may be a time when we may have to act in a certain way to take control of a situation to save lives?

But generally the term for piracy is criminal and if we are a people of faith we cannot continue to live as the world does, since we have been bought back to God by the precious blood of His Son Jesus!

This is not a light matter as some false or misguided believers might like to suggest, we do in some ways have to be seen by both the world around us and in secret by God doing what is right? We will fail from time to time, but we must not excuse ourselves or reject the truth!

Copy Cats. Part-Two.

Theft.

Non of us likes to see things stolen from us, wither it be a burglary or our artists commission and yet many of us make the excuses to do it still.

The bible tells us that we must not steal from others, stealing does not just mean big things. it also means money from mummy's purse or dads wallet. 

Theft is the same it is all sin, but God in His mercy says seek Me and I will forgive you through My Son Jesus.

Copy Cats. Part-One.

Films to Music.

The summer is here again and everyone is out enjoying it when they can, millions each day is being spent on films and music. But out there are a group of people who copy and then either use it to dub their own creations or sell it on.

The problem is twofold, one no permission was given to copyrights and two no income tax was paid in the distribution thus this is theft. 

But it is now the same for many things including abuses on the Internet and perfume, money and it goes on. The bible is very clear about stealing and theft that it is wrong and must be avoided. Many who do it think God cannot see them, but He can.

Pirates. Part-One.

A Licenced Wrecker.

Pirate was the term used in the 17th Century by the British Royal Navy for captains and their ships who hunted down French and Spanish vessels for their booty in the Atlantic Ocean.

This was legalised invasion of other peoples property, that is why today it is used in the sense of the copyright of films, printed Media and music.
