The Law and God – 12 August 2021, Anno Domini



The Summary of The Law



T

HEN one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets(Matthew 22:35-40)

 

            There is a large segment of the Church today which reverses the force of the Law of God and places the law of man at the top. The perhaps well-intentioned, but erroneous, notion that the government should be immune from religious moral consideration hateful to freedom and disposed to totalitarianism. There is no such amendment called the ‘Separation Clause’ in the US Constitution – an erroneous reference to the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religionor prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievancesThis is no restriction on religious faith either INSIDE, or OUTSIDE, the halls of government. But it is a restraining power on the interference of government into the affairs of the church and faith. If Congress can make no laws respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, what part of that clause gave power to nine black-robed judicial tyrants to prohibit prayer in school and falsely claim the Constitution required it?

 

            The government of the United States was founded as a Republic after the form advocated by the great Roman philosopher, Marcus Tullius Cicero, in which all law applies equally to each citizen regardless of class or position. The degrading tendencies of man will gradually erode such laws of equal application, and the source of such corruption often originates with the judiciary of a nation. Power and law are not synonymous. In truth, they are frequently in opposition and irreconcilable. There is God's Law from which all Equitable laws of man emerge and by which men must live if they are not to die in oppression, chaos and despair. Divorced from God's eternal and immutable Law, established before the founding of the suns, man's power is evil no matter the noble words with which it is employed or the motives urged when enforcing it. Men of good will, mindful therefore of the Law laid down by God, will oppose governments whose rule is by men, and if they wish to survive as a nation they will destroy the government which attempts to adjudicate by the whim of venal judges.    - Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC

 

            Though Daniel the Prophet obeyed all laws of his sovereign Persian king, he did not obey any laws in conflict with the Law of God. When the edict was issued to bow down to the golden image, Daniel went to his quarter, opened the window, and prayed to his Lord for all to see. It may require a strong courage at times, but the Christian must not forget that the Law of God trumps all other laws. (see Psalm 118:8, the center verse of the Bible, and Acts 5:29)

 

            The legitimate laws of a nation should parallel those of the Ten Commandments. There was a time in our not-too-distant past in which our national laws did parallel those of the Ten Commandments. Adultery was illegal (and therefore any perversion of marriage). Murder was illegal until those same black-robed hypocrites of the Supreme Court ruled that it was acceptable under the terms of the US Constitution to murder, up to this point, sixty million of our innocent children in their mother’s womb. You will not find such a loophole to allow those murders in the US Constitution. 

 

            The very last commandment as well has fallen victim to the corrupting forces of greed. From ‘one enjoying the fruits of his own labor ‘ we have degraded to the thievery advocated by Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto – From one according to his ability, to one according to his needs. This means one is entitled to the fruits of your labor whether he works or not. Those unwilling to work covet the treasures of those who do. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat(2 Thessalonians 3:10) and, In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return(Genesis 3:19)

 

            It is high time America stop drinking the Kool-Aid and return to obedience, first, to the Laws of God Almighty lest we perish as a nation and as a people of God.
