My boys used to participate in “War on the South” re-enactments – before COVID hysteria and political correctness killed our local battle. They always wore gray. In camp I would have discussions with young men that were destined to join the military. They were proud of their decision. Their parents were proud of their decision. I would ask why, as Sons of the South, they wanted to join the Army of Lincoln? I would point out that Sherman’s unlimited warfare against women, children and old folks is still the order of battle for the US Military. That crop destruction and forced starvation are still tools in the tool box. After the smoke from the flames of cognitive dissonance cleared they changed the subject or discovered someplace else they needed to be.
Why start a blog on Biblical Law Enforcement?
1) Law Enforcement and “Criminal Justice” in these United States are largely anti-Biblical and therefore anti-Christ.
2) I have been unable to find any practical guidance for Christian Magistrates who wish to begin to redeem Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice.
My hope in starting this?
1) That somebody will point me to another resource that removes the need for this forum.
Absent 1) occurring:
2) That, in community, we may begin to develop practical guidance for Christian Magistrates.
3) We may define practical steps that will walk us back from the largely anti-Christ system we currently operate under.
4) That in being practical we incur God’s blessing on our intent and not his wrath because we continue to operate under a sinful system.
5) That we provide encouragement and support for each other.
Format?
1) I will create posts on various topics and document my ‘going in’ position.
2) Through the comments posted on each topic, we will attempt to develop a Biblical position on the topic and guidance for Magistrates.
“The Christian cannot be satisfied so long as any human activity is either opposed to Christianity or out of all connection with Christianity. Christianity must pervade not merely all nations, but also all of human thought. The Christian cannot therefore be indifferent to any branch of earnest human endeavor. It must all be brought into some relation to the gospel. It must be studied either in order to be demonstrated false or else in order to be made useful to the kingdom of God.” – John Gresham Machen
