- Is there any evidence that civil governments today recognize the Law of God? And if so, how do those nations interact with the Law of God? Is the Kingdom of God recognized by the Law of Nations? Or is the Law of God just something that doesn’t really have any force of law at all, but is mere fiction, and only the law of men through the written will of various legislative bodies, like kings, parliaments, legislatures, congresses, etc. the only forms of law that have any legitimacy to be obeyed? Therefore, the Law of God doesn’t have to really be obeyed by anyone because its merely religious fantasy for those that believe?
- I have heard many Christians say that it is impossible to keep the law of God as presented in the Old Testament. In a sense, God’s original law was imperfect. God didn’t know what he was doing, really, so He created a temporary form of law until He could come up with a new constitution, covenant, or contact, which would then make the old covenant null and void. If this is so, why do ministers in churches still preach on certain precepts in the Old covenant, such as the tithing statutes, but other precepts have been done away with, taken out of the way, no longer having to be obeyed simply by saying some words about believing in Jesus? Is this really how God works? Is God incompetent? Is God not really omniscient and omnipotent, therefore unable to make His law perfect the first time, where men merely have to comprehend God’s law, understand God’s law and then come into agreement with God’s law in order to know how to keep it. The United States as a civil government has millions of laws and regulations, yet citizens are expected to know, understand and keep all those laws and regulations that affect them. Why is man’s law superior to God’s law in such a way that God’s law couldn’t be kept and therefore had to be made null and void? Does that mean we don’t have to keep the laws of man just because we say that those laws are too hard to keep?
- Are the Ten Commandments still a valid covenant or constitution? If so, do the commandments only apply to interpersonal relationships, such as between two individuals, or do the commandments also govern community, social or national relationships too? And if so, how could the commandments be understood in regards to larger groups of people like communities, nations, states, countries. Can nations violate the law of God? Can nations, lie, covet, steal and murder? Can nations commit a type of adultery? Can nations have other gods? Can nations make graven images? Can nations take the name of the Lord in vain? Can nations violate the Sabbath law?
- Do all the stories, parables, chapters and verses in the Bible apply to all individuals, all the time, regardless of personal choices? It seems that some precepts are directed at specific people in specific circumstances, so if I am not doing exactly the same things those people did in those specific instances, then those precepts would not apply to me and I couldn’t twist them to make those precepts fit a completely different situation or status? For a type of worldly example, the United States laws that deal with the distillation of alcohol are written out in the United States code, which I might read, but if I am not distilling alcohol, those precepts, laws and regulations don’t apply to me, and I can’t take those laws and regulations dealing with the distillation of alcohol and apply them to my personal situation of being a manufacturer of wood glue?
== Footnotes ==
- ↑ For mortal man, a kingdom is a form of government. We see this all through the bible, even through the history of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah. We see foreign kingdoms as governments in the Bible and secular history. We even see kingdoms as governments still today.
