It is Not the Ten CommandmentsYou can be sure that the Ten Commandments are not the rule of law. Judge Roy Moore had a stone copy of the Ten Commandments placed in the Supreme Court Building of the State of Alabama. A Federal Judge ordered the Ten Commandments removed saying, “The rule of law must stand. The Ten Commandments must go.” God rules when the Ten Commandments and the rest of God’s Word is to be obeyed. King David calls it the Law of the Lord.(1)
When a people live in obedience to God’s Word, the Scriptures, which is the Holy Bible you have a true theocracy. This is what the secular humanists do not want. They hate God and do not want to obey Him. They seek to replace God with themselves. They are akin to Communists in actions and thoughts. I hear the word “secular” used a lot as it is preferred over “religious.” There are other terms which could be used in place of secular. Think on these terms whenever you hear the term secular used; godless, wicked, and amoral as in without morals, profane and fools. The fool has said in his heart there is no God.(2)
King David writes that through God’s Word a person is warned. The simple is made wise. The heart is made to rejoice. The eyes are enlightened. It is more desirable then gold and sweeter than honey. In keeping God’s law there is great reward.(3) On the other had disregarding God’s law brings God’s curse.(4)
The “rule of law” is not more desirable than gold or sweeter than honey. It does not make one wise nor does the heart rejoice at it, nor are the eyes enlightened. There is no reward for keeping the rule of law. The “rule of law” in most cases is hard to understand, often contradictory and does not reward its obedience. Since it is only printed matter on paper it has no inherent power in itself. It cannot rule and to say that it does is to idolize it. One is serving the work of mans’ hands and not the Creator.(5)
