We tend to lump politics into a general term which includes everything to do with government, establishment of law, the administration of justice and doing some kind of good through a government agency.  That phenomena is indispensible with the idealism of classical thinking regarding government and the Progressive Socialistic thinking of today, it fits perfectly into their political thinking of classical thought and Socialism and its concept were the State is the highest mode of social existence.  The existence of the human being is thought to be so entwined with needing the state, that the state becomes the essences of their needs therefore it is always thought of as the highest need for the social order. 

Within this distortion of what the state has become, we have it being given something that continues to deceive and corrupt the citizen, that something is a reverence bordering on supposed holiness.  Government is hardly, a noble phenomenon, nor does it deserve a religious devotion, because it is quite literally a necessary correction to an evil and is nothing to celebrate nor was it put in place to be glorious.  The government was there to punish evil doers because of the fall of man, it was thought by the founding fathers to be a minimal social force that we call today “Limit Government”.

Today we are confusing doing good, earthly peace and the tranquility of order through a Republic/Democratic form of Capitalistic limited government, a pluralistic social order that exists with any government.  It is based on earthly peace and some definition of good which can never be agreed on as to right and wrong of the issue and/or what is the truth of that value.  For we constantly argue from two different starting point, one is arguing from a perceived “City of God” while the other is arguing from the “City of Earth” and its government, that order, that essence of man and his highest level of being, is corrupt.

The “Citizen of God” and the “Citizen of Earth” will never agree on the starting point, that point being, Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible.  The citizen of earth and God will agree on limited government but the citizen of the earth will never understand why we must have Jesus Christ, God’s 10 Commandments and the Bible.  The Citizen of earth will want nothing but so called reasoning of values through Natural Law to guide them.  They fail to understand that their essences are all in agreement through the fall, evil through that sin and they vary only because of God, and their will being changed and God’s free grace, which establishes their position in life.

No assertion is of more value than the opposite, so, too, no law is worth any more than it’s opposite.  Likewise, since we cannot perceive the essence or nature of things, and of man, a natural law is impossible, only Biblical law can work, without God and the Bible there is no agreement on liberty and what it is, no agreement on limited government and what that is, worse no agreement of the essences of values whatever they might be, and finally no agreement on rights and wrongs.  The man from the earthly city will not understand a good man of the “City of God” nor will he know what is to become of himself  and worse; why that is to happen, he doesn’t realize he has sinned against God.  We have the man of the city constantly making correction to the instructions of how the government is to run, never understanding it is the people that are corrupt.

The man of the Earthly City has no desire to believe man is corrupt, nor will he admit the issue cannot be corrected because it is this combination of the corrupt human being first and then the issue itself that needs to be examined and corrected.  If there is less and less men in government coming from the “City of God” you will have a nature decline in government, with righteousness slowly (Initially) going out of government.

We shall see if this can be corrected and/or reversed, because the decline in government is now in the rapid stages of deterioration and is about to fall.  Government serves a negative function: to restrain the wicked, it has lost that element.
