This is a good blog, happy every day
OK. First off, any day in God’s Word is a good day. Thanks for the discussion.
I’m going to to be critical to some degree. You are on the right track, but failed in understanding. I learn from the KJV.
Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
When Jesus arrived, he did NOT come to mess with man law. The only thing Jesus presence was for, to change God’s law. No more sacrifices or burnt offerings.
God came to free us through simply talking with him and asking forgiveness.
God recognized man needs a well lubricated society. Compare us to just about anywhere else in the world. Rule of law does outstanding. It takes money and leadership. God gave us this Republic. BUT, like anything, it takes maintenance….
Isaiah 3:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
We are responsible for our surroundings. Period.
There’s other topics you brought up, but I will stick with the original intent.
