The Law is the Law...

"Don't forget that everything that Hitler did in germany was legal."  Martin Luther King Jr.

What a statement?  A true and revealing statement of the reality of tyranny.  Was Hitler disobeying the law when he was killing all the Jews?  The fact is he was not.  At least not the laws that he was in control of. 

     The Romans crucified and killed Christians because they were against idolatry and calling the emperior God.  The Romans felt that the Christians were disobeying the law and found them to be law breakers and rebels.  What they also did in Rome was legal? 

     We are now faced with a dilema.  What is legal and what is not?  Who decides what is legal and what is not?  These are questions that we have dealt with since the beginning of time.

I think the question is not whether something is legal or not but rather the most asked question should be is something right or wrong?

Hitler and Rome did what was legal but not what was right.  We are now at a paradox which states that the Law is not always right.  I am not saying that the whole law but that which offends the laws of God and the character of God and humanity.  Homosexuality is legal but not right.  Homosexual mariages are legal but not right.  Fornication is Legal but not right.   

With that said, every leaders must always ask themselves should we do what the law says or what is right?  Should we uphold the law even if we think it is wrong?

I know now we come to another dilema, who says what is right or wrong.  The answer to that is GOD.  God is not changing he is everlasting to everlasting.  I believe if we just obey God than we would not find ourselves is such a dilema.
