Daddy blog

I started this blog when I was following the Life Journal Bible reading plan on YouVersion. (I've since completed that plan.) At that time, YouVersion didn't provide any way for people to respond to my notes, other than to "like" them. So this blog is here to remedy that problem. You may comment on my notes here in the comment section.
I also have a general blog.

Not all stealing is done by “thieves”

Isaiah 10

Beware, those who enact unjust policies; those who are always instituting unfair regulations, to keep the poor from getting fair treatment, and to deprive the oppressed among my people of justice, so they can steal what widows own, and loot what belongs to orphans. What will you do on judgment day, when destruction arrives from a distant place? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

Isaiah 10:1-3

This seems so relevant in Malaysia today, as we see foreign workers and the poor being abused and exploited.

Not all stealing is done by “thieves”. Some do their stealing by such corrupt means. 

We must fight for social justice as well. In this way, Marxists like Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj, Arutchelvan, A Sivarajan, and Bawani KS of the Parti Socialis Malaysia are doing the work of God, whether they know Jesus personally or not. So while I do not agree with Marxist atheism, I respect their track record on social justice.
