Today, the duty and process of performing divine law is the topic. It is the collective responsibility of those who are to live under the umbrella of the law, and those to whom the law is given, to garner and distribute the benefits from divine law through obedience; apply the sanctions provided for correction, punishment, and reward; and to clarify, demonstrate, and maintain the knowledge of divine law for meeting the specific needs of the full community. Judgment provides blessing and peace through its use of law to resolve conflicts, settle disputes, and guide investigation (i.e., truth-finding). The fighter at “Yahoo!

Deuteronomy 21:21 "it is not known who the killer was" What? How could the god of the jews not know? How come it does nothing?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8: 3-9, King James Version, KJV)

“Vrej M”, the Ten Commandments and other laws from GOD describe the accountability, duty, and works to be carried out by men in covenant relationship with the divine Deliverer. The soundness of mature love relationships always requires shared accountability. Among the reasons law from the Creator has been provided to mankind on the earth are (1) the law is an appearance of the active presence of divinity that reduces the separation, yet upholds the independence and integrity between the Creator and the created; (2) the law is a device for imparting sacred knowledge and aspects of the character, makeup, and substance of divinity; (3) the law makes known and “visible” the love of GOD who is spirit, immortal, invisible, and incorruptible; (4) the law corrects and instructs sinners; and (5) the law promotes permanent changes in the living that fit them to exist eternally as companions to divinity. Like it or not, the living must respond to divine law as an aspect of cosmic order and the nonnegotiable conditions for the spheres of life set apart for mankind. Without divine law, created beings and living creatures are unable to correctly and consistently recognize, respond to, or resist the operations of sin. Sin opposes the continued existence of law, the Law Giver, and the order maintaining the universe. Sin can not be eliminated using finite tools such as logic, carnal reason, philosophy, science, and technology (thus, intellectuals, scholars and teachers also appear among sinners). Consider again the following points from the Bible that speak to what GOD and law do in response to sin:
(1.) Proverbs 9: 6-10, King James Version (KJV): 6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. 7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
(2.) Romans 9: 22-26, KJV: 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
(3.) 1st Timothy 1: 8-10, KJV: 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) Revelation 21: 7-8, KJV: 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
