If all mans laws are under God?

Question

If all mans laws are under God and God doesn't go against the laws of man
Question Details: then it is reasonable to believe that God would not favor a man that would go against the laws of man. Any man that breaks the laws of man is considered a criminal in the eyes of the law of man. We could drastically reduce the number of criminals by simply updating the antiquated laws of man. Many laws were written more for the protection of horses from the automobile on streets that don't often see horses these days. These are not the only laws that create criminals by the thousand every day. Just because it's not prosecuted doesn't prevent them from breaking the laws and ignorance of the law is no excuse for criminals according to the law. Why should God have to deal with habitual offenders every time he talks to a man?

that's why you swear testimony

why can't it be simpler law to decrease crime?

when you swear you may as well be talking directly to god

Answer 1

God's laws are God's laws man can make up as many laws as he wants but man's works are foolishness in the eyes of God .
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God

Answer 2

Short answer: there was one PERFECT huiman being on earth and we nailed him to a cross. Long answer. The founders of this nation were not all strictly following any one particular denomination or sect of faith. Some like Washington of Jefferson, believed there is a God, but he put us on Earth with the gift of freewill, to choose to believe or not, to choose to worship, or not. it is up toi us how we choose to conduct ourselves but all laws are an agreement to keep otherwise antisocial creatures (outside our own little clans) behaving for the sake of harmony and success of the larger community. God being a superior being would not have to deal with anything He didn't want to, again, it's choice, free will. Reward the good with good, not neccesarily punish the bad, but no reward either, maybe, just nothing, the joke is you don't find out until it's too late to change. And there is always opportunity, before a person's last breath, they will realize that doing good things is the best way to spend a life, that those are the ones most valued in any community. Besides, you shouldn't pass a trolley car on the right, blow your klaxon at passing horses or drive faster than a trot across covered bridges.

Answer 3

Men have created such a huge number of laws that no man could possiblly know them all or follow them all. Try walking through a law library.

21 ... saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Matthew 22:21

Answer 4

I have never heard anything that has to do with mans laws being God's laws. But, God's law's which are sacred and is of virtue exists for a purpose. In bible it explains everything of virtue and knowing how to maintain it through prudence and modesty. Through anything that has to do with virtue comes freedom. Romans who were builted on virtue soon ended in vice. So where freedom is comes much responsibility.

Answer 5

This is a very unclear question. Are you assuming that all man's laws are godly? That is certainly not the case. Are you assuming that God must abide by all man's laws - that's arrogant presumption.

Jesus said "render unto Cesear that which is Ceasar's and render unto God that which is God's." God's job is not to enforce man's law. But we are still required to live here, and so must, in order to avoid human penalties, abide by man's law too.

God left with Moses 10 laws - 10 only. Those are the ones He is going to hold us responsible for keeping. Man holds us responsible now for living up to man's laws. There are consequences from each level of authority when laws are broken.

God deals with habitual offenders becasue "all fall short of the glory of God." We try to the best of our ability to follow the 10 laws God gave us. We fall short because we are not devine. God knows this and has provided for us. "The wages of sin is death." No codiciles on that, are there? The Jews used animal sacrifice to atone for sin. The Blood of the Lamb was an acceptable substitute for our own blood for the payment of sin. Then came the Lamb fortold in the Old Testament, forshadowed in the very structure of the Temple itself; and the Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus, who paid the ultimate for those sins. We are not released from following the commandments. We are released from paying for breaking them. But to accept the sacrifice of Jesus, we are then held responsible for trying not to trivialize that sacrifice by carelessly continuing to sin. We are, in accepting the new covenant, held accountable for trying our level best to keep the 10 Commandments.

Man's law, on the other hand, changes with the winds of political correctness. It changes when cultures change, it changes when norms change, it is applied differently to different races, it is not fair, it is not consistant it is not predictable. That's man's law. Human judges dispense justice based on their own standards.

P.S. Horses need protecting too. ;-)

Answer 6

Then God is the Man and above the law.

Answer 7

Since most folks will tell you that God has never spoken directly to them (what does his voice sound like?) it is reasonable to assume that he isn't paying much attention to the habitual offenders.

Answer 8

That' how Judaism came to be and that's what Islam believes!
