THE LAWBREAKERS PASS LAWS
THE LAWBREAKERS PASS LAWS
Why do our federal or state legislatures pass so many laws?
And why are these endless laws never enforced, so very seldom enforced, just selectively enforced?
I consulted scripture, 1 Tim. 1:8-10, for a better understanding, of this legal curiosity, and was amazed to see that our lawmakers pass these very laws for themselves, to guard against their own innate iniquities!

"We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is not made for the righteous but for lawbreakers and the rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious , for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murders, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers --and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine."
The answer to the above question is set forth plainly in holy scripture!
