Also how do you get the range of things a government is supposed to enforce? If someone obstinately refuses to say grace, should Caesar bring a sword?
How gentle was stoning for Sabbath breaking, why isn’t that in the panoply of penalties now?
Hey...you cite the Lion of the tribe of Judah in your end statement, he was the one who said “I came not to bring peace upon the Earth but the sword...”. Ask him to “roar it for you! It’s pretty obvious reading thru the scripture what government was supposed to be for, perhaps the “still small voice” can whisper it to you!
