LAW, unjust 'law' and the Eternal Law

In Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s now famous "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" (written on scrap paper after being arrested by a Birmingham police officer for having the audacity to 'parade without a permit,' which is a violation of the Constitutional right to free assembly!), Dr. King describes the difference between TRUE law and false law.

True LAW (according to Dr. King) is only the LAW that is in accord with the Divine Law (as cited by Dr. King according to the medieval Catholic scholastic distinction of St. Thomas Aquinas).

False law is that which is not in accord with the DIVINE LAW!

So, what does this mean?

Should we stop paying our taxes just because we feel like it? (or happen to be a Ron Paul supporter!)

Should we ignore societal law?

Which laws should be obeyed? Which laws should be ignored?

Am I free to wander across the street while cars are rushing on, claiming that the yellow caution light is not 'in accord with the eternal law'?

Well, no.

The Eternal Law is the Law of God. The Natural law of creation (for example, males mating with females in each of the animal species) and the Eternal law is that which has been handed down to us from Sinai . . .

Yes, there are Ten Commandments that, at one point, were the basis of Western law itself (not now it seems in the U.S.) as well as the rest of the Torah, that Jewish moral code that similarly prohibited everything from perjury to not allowing interest on loans to accrue past a period of seven years.

Is it not striking that even our beloved 'credit reports' are wiped clean every seven years?

The source of this practice is of course the Jews!

It was the Jews (not the Gentiles, like you & I) who started the practice of debt cancellation.

But, the society founded by the Jews, Christendom is now in decline . . .

Maybe a new President, someone who actually likes the Jewish people and doesn't just pay lip service to Israeli-U.S. relations, will actually take center stage.

As for me and my house, give me that old time Jewish religion, complete with Bankruptcy protection from creditors (not generally a strong suit of the G.O.P.!), complete with prohibitions against perjury and other circumstantial evidence in court.

Blessings in Yeshua the Anointed One of YHWH,
