THE LAW LIVES!

"The Law of the LORD is perfect"
Psalm 19

“The Law of Nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, legislators as well as others. The rules that they make for other men's actions must . . . be conformable to the Law of Nature, i.e., to the will of God. Laws human must be made according to the general laws of Nature, and without contradiction to any positive law of Scripture, otherwise they are ill made”

​

-John Locke

This law of nature, being coeval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other;

It is binding over all the globe in all countries, and at all times; no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this: and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original.

The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures. These precepts, when revealed, are found upon comparison to be really a part of the original law of nature, as they tend in all their consequences to man's felicity.  Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.

​

- William Blackstone

“It is blasphemy to call tyrants and oppressors God’s ministers [...]

When magistrates rob and ruin the people, instead of being guardians of its peace and welfare, they immediately cease to be the

ordinance and ministers of God, and no more deserve that glorious character than common pirates and

highwaymen.”

​

— Jonathan Mayhew

“All civil power is immediately from God in its root”

​

- Samuel Rutherford

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”

​

- The Declaration Of Independence

“For earthly princes lay aside their power when they rise up against God, and are unworthy to be reckoned among the number of mankind. We ought, rather, to spit upon their heads than to obey them.”

-John Calvin
