A just law is a man-made code that relates to the law of God. An unjust law is a human law that’s not natural

Question

What would one analyze from this statement?

Answer 1

God or nature's intent begs the question that there are grounds to our law. How do you determine 'nature' or God's will -- it's totally disputable...

Answer 2

There can be just laws without God's law. (althought I believe in God)

Any law, justs or unjust law is a personal preference, very subjective. Anyone who wants to, can say a just law is not natural.

The statement sounds like an excuse to credit or blame God for laws and an unjust law is not natural. But, then you have to ask...Natural for who? When? Why?

Answer 3

I would say first, that the bais is the statement is obvious. It reminds me of the old argument, "if it's good it's God, if it's bad it's the devil."

Second, "Not natural" is not only vague but loaded with controversy. The statement compares Natural to God (with a capital G), as it compares just and unjust.

The statement does not allow the reader to determine the author's meaning. Is the author implying "natural" to be based on nature created by God, or is it a play of words in which the author is using evolutionary themes to mae social commentary.

Answer 4

By stating something like this, you see the corruption of human mind. We analyse all such statements of ethics, morality, and religous basis. We must for once follow instinct and create a new basis for true coding. Unjust laws are seen only as un just by interpretation not fact. Just as the same goes for a righteous law.

Answer 5

Why, why did you have to add God in a perfectly good statement. You could have said, "A just law is one that is natural and an unjust law is one that is not." If you had said that I would have agreed, but no, you had to bring God into the mix. Jeez!

Answer 6

That you are actually in favor of stoning people who engage in extramarital relationships?

Answer 7
