Law

For Christians Government is not ultimate authority for creating law. Christians believe that God is first in their life above all things. So because of this the ultimate laws would be the Ten Commandments. So if the Governments law contradicts the Bible Christians are called to follow God’s law first. In addition to this they would also try to live out their lives with the fruits of the spirit. However just because we don’t agree with the government and the leaders in power, we should still respect their position. God put them in that position and we should respect that. On the other sided, if one is not a Christian they very well might think that the Government is the ultimate authority for creating laws. To that my argument would be this. All humans have an instinct inside of them; some call it the Natural Law, and this is what law has been based on, since the beginning. The Natural Law is defined as “an ethical belief or system of beliefs supposed to be inherent in human nature and discoverable by reason rather than revelation” (http://dictionary.reference.com) Because we have this, to me this alone is enough proof that there is a God. How else would one explain the Natural Law? For every human to be born with a sense of right and wrong is incredible. For this to be possible it would lead me to believe that there has to be an intelligent creator. Therefore God has to be the Ultimate authority for creating Law.
