A reply to your respectful request on the faith board for my response:
Since man, by his carnal nature, has not proven himself capable of interpreting God's law correctly, or obeying it, I would oppose this bill.If man understood God well enough to know His mind and will on every matter, it would be a different story, but man cannot even agree on who God is.
We may as well give up on this one and let the dogs eat the vomit. I mean, the law and the courts are in such a mess right now, always at loggerheads within the politics of every issue. It takes years and millions of dollars to win a battle for right. Lawyers are bankrupting America with their greed, and there is so much justice waiting to be recompensed. Mercy cannot rob justice in the courts of heaven, and justice cannot rob mercy. Heaven is a continuation of what we build here. "The Miracle of Forgiveness" is a really good heavenly political book. When you first pick it up you think "I don't really need this because I am a loving forgiving person, I hold no grudge" but as you get into it a stark realization, "My God, I need to be forgiven". That, my dear friend, is the politics of heaven. If we could see earth as a pattern of what heaven is like, beginning with family as the base organizaion of government, and God at the head, we may then catch a glimpse of how a heavenly government might work on earth, but man is too boneheaded and thick skulled to even consider that one.
Can you conceive of a court system that would value justice and mercy, love and forgiveness? Or law abiding honest citizens, full of integrity, valor, vision and virtue?
Our American legal system might be the best in the world, but as long as there are people who try to get the best of it, rip off their neighbor, call evil good and good evil, there's not much hope.
So that's my full blown faith-warped opinion of the bill. If it passes there will be a royal mess of self-annointed judges who think they know how to interpret God's law.
What's your opinion of my opinion?
