ALL DIVINE LAWS DEFINE AND BIND MAN
ALL DIVINE LAWS DEFINE & BIND MAN
Are there no laws extant in human relations akin to those in place in the chemical, physical, mathematical and biological relations existing in nature?
Is not man composed of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, i.e., the flesh?
Ah! the flesh, breath, and blood! The flesh and its biology invoke a morphology that recapitulates an ontology whose cosmology is divine.
Divine. Psalm 82:6 declares:"Ye are gods, and all are children of the most high. But, you shall fall like princes and die like men." Gods. Man as gods! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+82&version=NKJV#en-NKJV-15235
What law pertains, then, unto man as gods, from man to man? Only divine law.
Divine law is that animating spirit, which enters man from the life-giving breath of God. Without that divine breath, man is stillborn. By inspiration and by expiration ; by inhalation and by exhalation, man manifest from matter as fleshy perspiration.
So the laws of chemistry, physics, mathematics and biology, though helpful guideposts, can be no more by their inherent nature, given humans' bivalent nature: flesh and divine. Physical sciences are truly the least of these; the minimum leitmotif, expectations of divine man impressed upon mankind by man's Creator-God, infinite "maker" of all.
Man being both divine and flesh like Jesus Christ is held to a higher level of observance and of obedience in his daily life to these laws in relation to all others.
So the question--of what laws governs man--answers itself. All of them, plus!
Man must, at a minimum observe to do that which is taught by, and that which he learns from, the laws of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and from all other scientific laws, so mankind may better know, may better understand, better apply divine law, which encompasses all of these and more, in their relations inter se.
Amen
