Cause and Effect
The bondage of Egypt is the effect of a cause, "if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes... all these curses shall come" foretold in Deuteronomy 28:15 to 68 and you will return to the "Egypt ..."ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you."
Covetous practices,which comes when there is an absence of love and fervent charity shall cause the effect of you becoming merchandise and will curse children.
Cause and Effect
Lieh-tzu wrote in his A Taoist Guide to Practical Living, “When two things occur successively we call them cause and effect if we believe one event made the other one happen. If we think one event is the response to the other, we call it a reaction. If we feel that the two incidents are not related, we call it a mere coincidence. If we think someone deserved what happened, we call it retribution or reward, depending on whether the event was negative or positive for the recipient. If we cannot find a reason for the two events' occurring simultaneously or in close proximity, we call it an accident. Therefore, how we explain coincidences depends on how we see the world. Is everything connected, so that events create resonances like ripples across a net? Or do things merely co-occur and we give meaning to these co-occurrences based on our belief system? Lieh-tzu's answer: It's all in how you think.”
But is that true?
Aristotle asserted that we live in a world governed by law, not chance. Everything happens for a reason, whether or not we know what it is. Nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Law of cause and effect. Ralph Waldo Emerson expounded upon this principle of science with “Shallow men believe in luck or in circumstance. Strong men believe in cause and effect.”
Every Action has a reaction or consequence and every event is the result of a previous cause. But there may be many causes acting together to produce and event or effect.
While “You reap what you sow.” We must also take into consideration where and when we may sow our seeds, the ground in which we sow them and the wind on the day we may do so.
Frederick Douglass born a slave but was taught to read by Sophia Auld in Baltimore who treated him "as she supposed one human being ought to treat another." Her husband Hugh Auld disapproved thought that she should not teach Frederick feeling that literacy would encourage slaves to desire freedom. Douglass later referred to this as the "first decidedly antislavery lecture" he had ever heard and he wrote that Hugh's position was "'Very well" thought out because "'Knowledge unfits a child to be a slave.'" Frederick was once said “I would unite with anybody to do right; and with nobody to do wrong.” but he wrote in his, The Portable Frederick Douglass, “A man is worked upon by what he works on. He may carve out his circumstances, but his circumstances will carve him out as well.”
So it would appear that the way in which you perceive and think about a cause may be able to bend is not alter all together the outcoming effect.
The scriptures
The scriptures speak of cause and effect:
- “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” Ecclesiastes 10:8. [1]
- "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." Ecclesiastes 11:1
- "Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you." Hosea 10:12
- "That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures." Proverbs 8:21
- "And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." Matthew 15:6 [2]
- "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" Luke 6:37
- "But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6
- "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6: 7
There are many verses and books that claim and underlying cause like Isaiah 45:1-7 which is a prophecy of what we see described in Ezra 1 and can be referenced in Matthew 28:18-20.
Human conduct
This law of Cause and Effect is found as fundamental in the Law of Nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson saw the Law of Cause and Effect is the "law of laws".
Human conduct, actions, and interaction is a manifestation of the Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect.
- "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
Human thought
Every human thought, word, and deed, whether desirable or undesirable, good or evil, sets in motion waves of energy that flow throughout the universe which will in turn create effects.
- "And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart." Zechariah 7:10
Just thinking thoughts of coveting,[3] anger,[4] and lust[5] have an effect in nature.
Consequences
This flow of energy vibrates from and through planes of existence maintaining its energy in a multitude of forms in the membrane of the universe. Resonating from the original source through the swinging pendulum of time through space it touches the infinite creation from beginning to end.
Without the law of cause and effect, there would be no universe nor order and without the universe there would be no cause and effect.
- "The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath." Job 20:28
The spirit of the effect is set in motion at the moment of its cause but the realization is often a delayed consequence built into the Law of Nature by nature's God which we may call the Wrath of God or the fruit of righteousness.[6]
The universe we see and experience seems to be the effect produced by the spirit which we do not see nor experience with our physical senses.
Psalms 147:18 "He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow."
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
