Means and Methods

The idea of provision and abundance through forming a government relies on to basic or fundamental classification of the means and methods.

Social welfare through the power of the State always leads to degeneration, dependence, and destruction.

While there are many types and forms of government they can be divided into just two categories:

Law of liberty

The perfect law of liberty allowing choice, duty, and trust.

Utilizing: Faith, Hope, and Charity

The "perfect law of liberty"[1] is a biblical concept that brings genuine freedom through love and obedience to God and conformity to the commandments of God. It is not counter to legalism but returns judgement to God where it was always intended to be.

Key aspects of the perfect law of liberty:

Freedom: True Christian who are born again and love the light will be lead to choose by the nature of the Holy Spirit the way of righteousness and away from the practices that return people to the snare and trap of bondage.
The "royal law of liberty" is the essence of God's law as fulfilled in the Blood of Christ.
To come in the name of Christ is to come in the same manner of service and sacrifice of self for love of others.
That love, like faith, requires action, not a forgetful hearer[2] but an "effectual doer"[3] of the word. To be a believers you would be not only hearer the word of God but an actively doer.
And would not be disobedient.

Law of coercion

The law of coercion or obligation that requires allegiance.

To judge coercion of others as righteous will produce a cause and effect:

Bondage: The state of being bound to another's control.
Captivity: The state of being confined.
Slavery: A state of being subjugated to serve another.
Imprisonment: The state of being imprisoned.
Servitude: The state where you must labor for another.
Dependence: The state of relying on another.

The direct opposite of the perfect law of liberty[1] is said to be the law of sin and death which includes anything that is less than love or other than charity and mercy.


Footnotes

  1. 1.0 1.1 Perfect Law of liberty
    • James 1:23 "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.
    • James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
    • Leviticus 19:18 "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD."
    • Matthew 19:19 "Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
    • Matthew 22:39 "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
    • Mark 12:31 "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
    • Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law."
    • Galatians 5:14 "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
  2. James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
  3. Effectual doer
    • 1 Corinthians 16:9 "For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries."
    • 2 Corinthians 1:6 "And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation."
    • Galatians 5:6 "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
    • Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh <1754> in the children of disobedience:"
    • Ephesians 3:7 " Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power."
    • Ephesians 4:16 "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
    • Philemon 1:6 "That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."
    • 1 Thessalonians 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh <1754> also in you that believe."
    • James 5:16 "Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
