Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being. And consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should, in all points, conform to his Maker's will.This will of his Maker is called the law of nature.
This law of nature, being coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original. The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures. These precepts, when revealed, are found upon comparison to be really a part of the original law of nature, as they tend in all their consequences to man's felicity.
Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these. - Blackstone - Of the Nature of Laws in General.
You are hopeless. Have fun pushing your priesthood driven brand of socialism. Just have the balls to call it what it is.
Hi Joe. Seems to me the Godless continue to believe in the inherent good of man and the brotherhood man. Not biblical. They keep betting on man. You know if I was a betting man and I kept on going to the racetracks betting on the same old nag that could barely stumble out of the starting gates, day afer day, week after week, year after year, it might some day dawn on me that my loyalty to that horse far exceeds my common sense. Betting on the goodness of man is very dangerous and fruitless. Otherwise Mr Dead Corpse would give you all in his bank account. For his love of arguement he clings to 5000 years of mans inhumanity to man. However I believe you correctly determined the real problem which is Self. The Christian has the perfect law of liberty. That Law is perfect, but Christians are not. We should always strive to be. We are not citizens of this world, we're just passing through. The unregenerate mind will never appropriate this truth, because he rejects the Truth.
