There's no such doctrine in the Bible. Can one ever return all that he/she has stolen?

What are we even saying? Is that not trying to pay for one's sin?

what are the consequences of not doing restitution

. EXODUS 22:1-6.

"IF a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep,
and kill it, or sell it;
he shall restore
five oxen for an ox,
and four sheep for a sheep.
2. "If a thief be found breaking up,
and be smitten that he die,
there shall no blood be shed for him.
3. "If the sun be risen upon him,
there shall be blood shed for him;
for he should make full restitution;
if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4. "If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive,
whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep;
he shall restore double.
5. "If a man shall cause
a field or vineyard to be eaten,
and shall put in his beast,
and shall feed in another man's field;
of the best of his own field,
and of the best of his own vineyard,
shall he make Restitution.
6. "If fire break out, and catch in thorns,
so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn,
or the field, be consumed therewith;
he that kindled the fire
shall surely make Restitution."


. LUKE 19:1-9.

AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2. And, behold,
there was a man named Zacchaeus,
which was the chief among the publicans,
and he was rich.
3. And he sought to see Jesus who he was;
and could not for the press,
because he was little of stature.
4. And he ran before,
and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him:
for he was to pass that way.
5. And when Jesus came to the place,
he looked up,
and saw him,
and Said unto him,

"Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down;
for to day I must abide at thy house."

6. And he made haste,
and came down,
and received him joyfully.
7. And when they saw it,
they all murmured,
saying,


"THAT HE WAS GONE TO BE GUEST
WITH A MAN THAT IS A SINNER."


8. And Zacchaeus stood,
and said unto the Lord:

"Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the Poor;
and if I have taken any thing
from any man by false accusation,
I restore him fourfold."

9. And Jesus Said unto him,

"This day is Salvation come to this House,
forsomuch as he also is a Son of Abraham."


IF YOU SINNED AGAINST SOMEONE, AND STOLE THEIR MEST, IF YOU REPENT, YOU CANNOT JUST RETURN THE MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE, AND TIME- PHYSICALITY- THAT YOU HIJACKED- YOU MUST DO SO AT A PROFIT.

You RUINED that person's life!

RESTITUTION is how you REPAIR the DAMAGE to THAT person's Soul, AND to YOURS'.

THIEVES thing that they are GAINING by Stealing from others.

Actually, they are DAMAGING their MIND and their BODY.

They are building up RECOMPENSE for what they have done to others to be done back to THEM.

A person who does not do RESTITUTION does not REPENT: they are STILL in HATRED against their Victims, and against GOD.

. 1st JOHN 5:1-5.

WHOSOEVER believeth
that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
and every one that loveth Him that begat
loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2. By this we know that we love The Children of God,


"WHEN WE LOVE GOD,
AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."


3. For this is The Love of God,

"THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS:"

and His Commandments are not grievous.
4. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the World:
and this is The Victory that overcometh the World,


"EVEN OUR FAITH."

5. Who is he that overcometh the World,
but he that believeth that Jesus is The Son of God?


"LOVE" is defined as "keeping the requirements of" whatever is "loved."

Those who teach that "RESTITUTION IS UNNECESSARY" do not LOVE either US, nor GOD.

. LUKE 16:1-15.

AND he said also
unto his Disciples,

"There was a certain rich man,
which had a steward;
and the same
was accused unto him
that he had wasted
his goods.
2. "And he called him,
and said unto him,


'HOW IS IT
THAT I HEAR THIS
OF THEE?
GIVE AN ACCOUNT
OF THY STEWARDSHIP;
FOR THOU MAYEST BE
NO LONGER STEWARD.'


3. "Then the steward said
within himself,


'WHAT SHALL I DO?
FOR MY LORD
TAKETH AWAY FROM ME
THE STEWARDSHIP:
I CANNOT DIG;
TO BEG
I AM ASHAMED.
4. 'I AM RESOLVED
WHAT TO DO,
THAT, WHEN I AM
PUT OUT OF
THE STEWARDSHIP,
THEY MAY RECEIVE ME
INTO THEIR HOUSES.'


5. "So he called every one
of his lord's debtors
unto him,
and said unto the first,


'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU
UNTO MY LORD?'


6. "And he said,

'AN HUNDRED MEASURES
OF OIL.'


And he said unto him,

'TAKE THY BILL,
AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY,
AND WRITE FIFTY.'


7. "Then said he to another,

'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?'

And he said,

'AN HUNDRED MEASURES
OF WHEAT.'


And he said unto him,

'TAKE THY BILL,
AND WRITE FOURSCORE.'


8. "And the lord commended
the Unjust Steward,
because he had done wisely:
for the Children of this World
are in their Generation
wiser than
the Children of Light.
9. "And I say unto you,


'MAKE TO YOURSELVES
FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON
OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;
THAT, WHEN YE FAIL,
THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU INTO
EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.'


10. "He that is faithful
in that which is least
is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust
in the least
is unjust also in much.
11. "If therefore ye
have not been faithful
in the Unrighteous Mammon,
who will commit to your trust
The True Riches?
12. "And if ye have not
been faithful in that
which is another man's,
who shall give you
that which is your own?
13. "No servant can serve
two masters:
for either he will
hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will
hold to the one,
and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God
and mammon."

14. And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous,
heard all these things:
and they derided him.

15. And he Said unto them,

"Ye are they
which justify yourselves
before men;
but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is
highly esteemed
among men is Abomination
in The Sight of God."


THE OYINBOS WHO TEACH CHRISTIANITY ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES WHO RUN THE INTERNATIONAL BANKING CARTELS, THAT RAN SLAVERY, THAT RAN COLONIALISM. They are a TEAM, working together toward a COMMON GOAL: to benefit the OYINBOS!

What did you EXPECT?

Therefore, they preach a Theology whereby THEIR Christians are NOT expected to RESTITUTE the nations they have DEFRAUDED- while OURS must FORGIVE THEM THEIR DEBTS!

We need to understand when we are being handed the shitty end of the shovel.

They will always preach what benefits THEIR silly Empires.

Of we want GOD, we must follow HIS Instructions, and no one else's.
