LAW
All laws are conditional. If laws were not conditional, we would have no freewill, agency, or liberty. We live in a wonderful world based on the principle of causality. For every cause there is an effect, and for every effect there is a cause. If we obey the conditions of law, we reap the consequences. As the scriptures so famously say, “If we sow the wind, we reap the whirlwind.” It is the law of the harvest. If we sow good seed, we will reap good fruit; if we sow bad seed, we will reap bad fruit.
The Laws of Man are limited by man and reflect his desires. If his desires are evil, then he will create laws that reflect evil. It is for that reason that the further we move away from the laws of God and the laws of nature, the closer we are to self-destruction. Here is the paradox of the laws of man. The laws of man can only define those things that are permitted or denied to men. Man may create temporal prisons, but man cannot create eternal laws.
The laws of God, which include the laws of the temporal world, or the laws of nature, and the laws of the spiritual world, or the laws of eternal life, in other words the laws of mortality and the laws of immortality are the only laws that are absolute and unchangeable and governed by the law of justice, with fixed consequences. All laws of God, both of a temporal nature and of a spiritual nature are designed to give us agency, freewill, and freedom. There are no exceptions. The laws of mortality have temporal consequences; the laws of immortality have spiritual consequences, all governed by the law of justice.
What really distinguishes the laws of man from the laws of God is that the laws of man are arbitrary and have no single governing power. They differ from one government to another, from one state to another, from one city to another. They are willy-nilly and often contradictory, sometimes influenced by corruption, greed, personal agenda, and drive for power. They are almost always punitive. The more they accumulate the more freedoms we lose. The very phrase “government regulations” suggest a restriction of freedom.
All regulations, of course, aren’t bad. That is why we should elect only good and wise judges to positions of authority. Our laws reflect the morality of the lawmakers. In a democracy if the desires of the majority are evil, then in a democratic republic such as ours, the laws become evil, and the loss of freedom is not far behind. When the laws of man are created to promote the agenda of one special interest group over another, democracy quickly diminishes, and we turn into a police state, one that rewards those of like mindedness and punishes those of unlike mindedness. We see it today with the shutdown of our oil pipelines, the green energy laws, the open borders, the defunding police, the insistence of electric cars, the corruption of our education system. We see it in laws governing the environment, governing the Bill of Rights, governing the Constitution, governing the flow of energy, determining what we should think, what we should feel, what we should believe. We see it in the increasing loss of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. We see it in the censorship of conservative voices in the social media and on university campuses.
