Law Posts

Sarah thinks that laws are created only by societies. Are governments the ultimate authority for creating laws?

Laws are not created by societies and governments are not the ultimate authority for creating laws. The only being in the universe that is responsible for law-making is no other than the almighty God himself. Exodus 20:1-17 (The Ten Commandments) is all the evidence we need. God has given us the Bible for moral guidance so we know what is right and what is wrong. He has also given us something much more important: the Holy Spirit and our conscience. People know it is wrong to murder and to steal. Where does this knowing come from though? God has instilled this inside all of his creation so all man knows how to obey his law. In conclusion, governments do not create the laws but rather carry them out.
