Forming the Ideal Government -
creating a constitution to protect the freedoms and fundamental rights of all mankind.
A major difference between the coming government of God and the governments of the
earth today, is that the individual will accept responsibility for his/her own actions. The
government will not have to dictate rules guiding every little facet of life. Rather, there
will be a set of less than 100 guiding principles or laws which will apply to any situation, that
can easily be learned by any adult as well as be understood even by a child, by which the
individual may guide his/her life, and to which they can easily be held accountable. The
question we ask here is, "what are those guiding principles?"
Eternal Laws/Principles for the Governance of the Ideal
Society
We will present here a working and growing draft of what those laws might
be. Feel free to offer your input.
Are there categories into which these might be classified, associated, for example, with the seven
chakras of the body, the seven creative periods described in the Bible?
The following laws/principles are presuming a voluntarily gathered society who
agree to these terms before their implementation.
-
Love the Lord and seek to bring your life into alignment with divine
purposes. In so doing, your life's mission will be a ministry of love, not of unfulfilling
labor.
-
Love one another, including your enemy.
-
Celebrate the diversity of your fellow beings, honoring each for their
unique contributions to society.
-
Do unto others as you would have others do to you.
-
Readily forgive trespasses against you; turning the other check when
wronged.
-
Be true to your word, and present yourself truthfully.
-
Do not bear false witness. If you are found to knowingly
wrongfully accuse another person, you will be charged as though guilty of the crime
yourself.
-
Sexual and emotional fidelity in marriage and proper restraint before
marriage and outside of marriage.
-
Do not take the life of another except when the law allows it such as in
last-resort self defense and punishment of a prosecuted crime of the highest severity.
-
Property:
-
Do not steal what belongs to another or is under their stewardship.
-
Do not covet what belongs to another or is under their stewardship.
-
Give freely of your substance as you are able and as need presents
itself, that there might not be any poor among us.
-
Honor the Sabbath day, recognizing that this seventh thousand-year period
is the Sabbath of the earth's existence. It is the rest of the Lord and is to be
reverenced as such. <comment>
-
Honor your parents.
-
Be nice.
-
Don't hit.
-
Help each other.
-
Clean up after yourself.
-
etc.
