Shalom.
Today is Revi'i, 3-20.
I am a Jew, a former Christian and pacifist, against violence and for justice, here in the United States of America.
I know little, but I know of Civil Law. I read , study, observe, and teach Torah. I observe the 613 Commandments of Torah with all of Israel. See Matthew 5:17-20. I grew up against punishment and for parental discipline of children. Are there punishments for breaking the law in the United States of America? I believe that the new covenant came to the house of Israel and the house of Judah in Yeshua HaMashiach, Yeshua Messiah, Jesus the Christ. It is God's law written on minds and hearts. It is important to be in covenant with God. Should a Christian ever go to war or just be for the courts in the case of murder? With God's Law there is Justice. Ultimately, in the end, God is the Judge and has appointed Jesus to be the Judge. Is God's Law for the Christian or the Jew, or for the State only or the State alone? Must we do our part as witnesses should we observe a crime?
God instructed us to set up Courts. He appointed Judges and their decision is the decision of God. We have rights under the Constitution of the United States of America and The Bill of Rights the First Ten Ammendments to the Constitution, but we are to be responsible and understand what those rights are for. Ultimately we are to be responsible to God, living our lives to His glory, even if it means laying down our rights. We are not to sacrifice our rights for justice, but no one should be a renegade. Meaning, don't take matters into your own hands. He who lives by the sword will die by the sword. The State, the Governing Authorities, do not bear the sword for nothing. The State is an avenger against evil. If you do what is right you have nothing to fear. Work on your relationship with God. The suffering, evil, and persecution, not punishment for wrong doing, is unjust and at the hands of wicked men who do not obey God. But if we repent as a nation God will bless us and return to us the prosperity we once knew.
What is the role of the Jew, the Christian, the State, and the individual in Government as an Elected Official, or even the Judge? Will we choose to live by God's Law? Will we forgive others their sins against us that we would be forgiven? Will we turn a blind eye to Justice? What do God and Jesus say?
Shalom.
