Throughout history societies which had a rule of law, of justice, generally succeeded where others failed. As a Roman citizen Saint Paul was able to make an appeal for justice according to Roman laws and thus was able to escape from the hands of his Jewish persecutors. Rome had conquered the known world and had brought peace and a basic civil stability that lasted until hedonism took complete control.

The Ten Commandments were given to the ancient Hebrews by God through Moses. As long as they put them into practice they had peace.

The armed forces have what is called the "Uniform Code of Military Justice."

All societies need simple basic rules of justice that are the foundation for laws and can be easily understood and memorized. Click on "The Generic Ten Commandments" for reflections which occurred following Alabama's Governor Fob James' stance on the presence of the "Ten Commandments" in a judges courtroom.

As Biblical passages have demonstrated, when poor reasoning processes exist, or resort to misguided understanding of authority proves useless, then other tactics are used to win favor with those ignorant of faith, many of whom say that they are Christian. It should be kept in mind that legal entry into Christianity through water baptism does not make anyone a true believer. A sustaining real baptism in the spirit is also required to be, and remain, a true Christian.
