“Government serves a negative function to restrain the wicked, it has lost that element.”  That was the last sentence of my article

I would like to pickup from there and continue on.  The social network made up of the citizens from these two different cities, the “City of God” and the “City of Earth”, have different values and these values which are embraced by these different citizen are irreconcilable, making it impossible to blend them into a workable form of government. 

Let me try and explain the politics and the contradictions these two cities have imbedded in them.  A government system cannot cure the disease of the human being, it is spiritual, one understands that, the other does not, one understands the cause, the other does not understand, one understand the spiritual nature of the problem the other does not understand that it is a spiritual problem.  “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men”, Paul tells us this in Romans 1:18.  The citizens of the Godly City know this and fear God’s judgment and hope in the future for a heavenly city, the citizens of the “City of Earth” don’t know that, and if they are told, they would not accept that information as a truth.  They believe they can, through government, create a city of perfection.

Now it continues to get worse for the “City of Earth” when; “Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools.” Romans 1:22.  “They also changed the truth of God into a lie,” Romans 1:25.  It finally gets this bad, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 1:32.

Verse 32 must be understood before you really start to understand were we are and at what level we are being taken to.  It tells us they (the citizen of the City of Earth) have pleasure in watching others do bad things.  We have seen bad things happening and no one is willing to step-up and say, these things are wrong.  Now whether you are from the “City of God” and are keeping your mouth shut, especially the Pastor, or if you are from the “City of Earth” and enjoy this kind of perversion both will get the same results, nothing is being corrected.  

Government is coercive by its nature and authoritarian by law so we have a government and social order that can quickly turn on its citizens if control of and/or the elements of correction within it are dead.  We have a government whose negative charge is turned into brute force in suppressing its citizens and government being elevated to status well above norm; having evil people enjoying and having pleasure in watching and doing evil.  The coercive nature of political authority has been and is largely ignored in contemporary American politics, why, because we were for the most part a Christian Nation and need not watch that closely and the politicians were for the most part from the “City of God”.  That had changed almost over night, even with the signs and winds of changes blowing harder and harder in each election cycle, was anyone paying attention?

Coercion and the having of a good society is impossible, people cannot be forced to be good and/or do good by any government action or law.  It is just another aspect of showing deterioration or failure of a social order, the laws will become more suppressive and the citizens will show less respect for the laws, especially the young citizens for they know not the laws of old, such as the Constitution and old English laws which were paid for in blood.  The resorting to coercive means represents the breakdown and not the flowering of that social order, and with the proliferation of laws and regulations that signals serious destructive internal forces in motion, with God lifting His protective hand from off the land, all the while the people are becoming less God fearing as the cycles continue and deterioration becomes more prevalent and widely accepted.

We Shall See how long this can go on, this cycle will either be broken or it will continue to destroy America.  Pray God will have mercy on us.
