Political Freedom

I dont think Jesus dropped His humanity to be the teacher. I believe He was motivated by human causes. The self righteous used the law of God to attack Jesus eternal claims. I do not believe Jesus simply responded to them as if He came from another world. Jesus was always present in the world from before the foundation of the world. He had always implemented the law for a cause. What was the cause?

Was the cause to get the ot church to fall in line? Not really the leaders made more laws to keep the people from going against the simple law of God. But anytime you look at a document that gives you the structure of a nation there is always a spirit about that document. In other words there is a purpose that is like a signature that you are gonna respect the personal rights of others by not making burdensome laws. And this spirit of Gods law was to protect the poor and helpless from the advancement of the rich and powerful.

Anyone who speaks Gods governing pronouncements knows that Gods intent in giving the law was to be the governor in the spirit of reversing the natural inclinations of man. Man seeks to appease God by law keeping but God is much bigger than mans authority. God is much bigger than mans attempts to structure a society by his view of Gods law. Is there anything that escapes Gods perfect justice and equity according to the strict interpretation His law? Absolutely not.

This is the problem with structuring human institutions. The natural spirit in man is to use the law as a hammer. But the spirit of the law is to free the helpless. There is a perfect enactment of Gods law that is behind mans attempt to to use the law in his aggressive spirit. In spite in the world using the law to destroy others God never allows His law to be over turned. God works to turn society upside down by His absolute sovereignty. This is why the bible always present those people in heaven as the ones who suffer, who go without, who are powerless ...because Gods purpose of His law is to protect those people.
