This is a continuation on general equity and The Decalogue/Ten Commandments for today's Nations. First I need to list off all Ten Commandments that God commands us to follow;
1“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6“You shall not murder.
7“You shall not commit adultery.
8“You shall not steal.
9“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
Some of the commandments are easier to apply than others. For example; theft is already recognized as well as murder in most legal codes. However, I would argue for the death penalty for murderers as it was instituted as the punishment for murder as a universal law and not just for a certain people.
You shall not commit adultery can and should be enforced. Adultery referred to not just people cheating on spouses, but, to sexual offenses in general. Any sexual predation (pedophilia, rape, etc cetera) should be punished also with the death penalty.
You shall not steal requires restitution to the person stolen from and could result in jail time depending on the theft.
You shall not bear false witness would be covered by things like libel, defamation and slander laws. As well as punishments for making false claims of criminal activity or wrongfully accusing someone whom was innocent.
The 10th command and the shall not steal overlapped when it comes to coveting things. Covet a spouse would be considered adultery and how to or if we even can bring authority to bear on such things is a discussion to be had.
The Nations act on the first 4 commandments by acting to defend at all times the freedom for us to follow our Christian Values and protecting the Church from prosecution by the non believer. By protecting the right to worship as The Word of God dictates. While not in anyway dictating or interfering in the Sphere of The Church.
Of course these are not the only laws that would fit under the general equity principle. There is much more that could be listed as to what would or should be legislated based on transcendent Moral Law.
For example; making sex work and pornography illegal and making or trying to distribute it punishable would also fall under adultery. As even thinking a lustful thought is considered adultery. This command also requires abolishing no fault divorce and requiring different standards for divorces. As well as reinstating marriage as being between one man and one woman within the law. Banning sexualized advertising and getting the smut off TV/Radio, et cetera. Getting LGBTQ propaganda out of our schools and things like these. Abolishing C4 as well.
You get the general drift of where I am going with the idea of general equity and the Laws of Nations. I will continue on this subject as thoughts on it arise.
