Manmade Law
This is the third and final podcast in the trilogy on law. The first podcast is entitled temporal law. The second podcast is entitled spiritual law. The third and final podcast is entitled manmade law. Let me encourage you to listed to all three.
Four of the greatest words in the English language are freewill, freedom, agency, and liberty. Because they are sometimes used interchangeably, I shall give them specific Definitions.
Will is that which is an inherent part of our consciousness, our life force, our intelligence, that which makes us unique, that which distinguishes us from all other forms of life, that which we call self, that which has always existed, and which always will exist, that which we are, that which drives us to become better. Will is the driving force of our spirit. Our spirit body was created by God to house our self-existing intelligence. Consciousness cannot be created or there is no freewill. It has always existed. That explains why God exists and why life exists. In short, there is a part of you that has existed throughout all eternity and will continue to exist throughout all eternity. The self-existence of intelligence is the only reason freewill is possible.
The will is set free only by obedience to law for it is only law that gives order to the universe. God organized temporal laws and spiritual laws. God created our immortal spirit body in his image to house our everlasting intelligence. God created our physical body to house our immortal spirit body. He is the father of our spirit.
Temporal laws govern our physical body. Spiritual laws govern our spirit body. All laws of God, whether temporal laws or spiritual laws, were designed to give us freewill. Freewill is protected by God through law. It is sacred. Those who claim that we do not have freewill do so because they are misled by the deterministic nature of temporal law. They base all of their conclusions on temporal law and do not account for the immortal spirit. The determinism of temporal law is irrelevant to freewill because freewill is spiritual not temporal, immortal not mortal.
Freedom is a product of temporal law. We have freedom because we have choices. Temporal law is governed by conditions, and it is through knowledge of those conditions that we have freedom. The conditions of temporal or mortal laws allows us to use laws similar to the way that God uses laws, as a means of creation. Through temporal law God has given us some of his power, thus giving us freedom. When Christ said,
“And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”
He was speaking of all the laws of God. Truth is law and law is truth. They cannot be separated. It is the consequences of temporal law that are deterministic. Conditions determine consequences. Where we have control over conditions, we have freedom to use law for our own purposes. Where those conditions are beyond our powers, then we are subject to the deterministic nature of temporal law. The greater our knowledge of temporal law the greater our freedom.
