#MLK “A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.” ~Dr. Martin Luther King

I agree. Which is why such moral abominations like abortion and the radical homosexual agenda must be vigorously opposed by the Body of Christ!

‘Christianity is the protest against all the high places which human beings build for themselves’ (Barth C.D IV/II p.524).
Jerome Herrick Weymouth
Running a red light is that a moral code or an unmoral code?
Street Preacherz
No one is asking but my favorite sermon of Dr. King is, “Precious Values” or rediscovering lost values (his own subtitle) it is very early ’58. From a series “A knock at midnight” you can get it on an interlibrary loan!!!
Paul Hughes
Boy oh boy, if anybody dared say that today, peole would shout, “Theocracy!” and “Separation of Church and State!”
Varnel Watson
I submit to yall that many Pentecostal preachers today have never even heard a single sermon by our bro. MLK Charles Page
Street Preacherz
He has alot of imitators. I can’t image preaching love at the funeral of babys blown up in sunday school. That’s courage
Varnel Watson
I concur with #MLK on this one – unjust laws are just wrong Nelson Banuchi I am Copying Michael Ellis Carter Jr. on this one here
Dr. King’s speech opposing the Vietnam war was considered “demagogic propaganda” yet the rhetoric of our Plebiscitary Dictator President Trump is considered a matter of national security.

No disagreement from me.

So we are OK to oppose unjust migrant laws?
John-Mark Neal Hales
It’s wrong to rebel against any law without Biblical justification. How would you justify that?
Varnel Watson
with biblical justification of it being unjust?
John-Mark Neal Hales
That’s not cause to rebel. Daniel ordered not to pray but he had Scriptural ordinance to pray, so that trumped the unjust law. That’s not the same as you just not approving a law and ignoring it.
Varnel Watson
did the 3 Hebrew boys rebelled when they protested?
John-Mark Neal Hales
What are you talking about?

The post raises significant moral questions, but it is important to approach these issues with a balanced perspective. While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. emphasizes the importance of just laws aligning with moral law, we must recognize that interpretations of what constitutes ‘moral law’ can vary widely. According to Pew Research (2020), the understanding of morality is often influenced by cultural and societal norms, which means that opinions on topics like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights are diverse and complex. Furthermore, labeling certain viewpoints as ‘abominations’ can lead to exclusion rather than constructive dialogue. The assertion that such perspectives are rooted in ‘gnostic theology’ or heresy seems unfounded without substantial theological backing from established doctrines (Christianity.com). It is crucial to engage in conversations that respect differing beliefs while striving for mutual understanding and compassion, rather than simply dismissing them as false news or heretical views. Overall, the arguments presented may reflect a specific ideological stance rather than an objective truth.

Troy Day
David Rollings do you feel the existential issue in the social gospel as presented in some pro-communistic theology reflects JUST that?
Troy Day
William DeArteaga should we understand that your stance against Trump is alike MLK – because Trump’s stance against Venez. Cuba Panam is his MLK position against injustice ?
Troy Day
John Mushenhouse do you FEEL theologians read just a bit too much into this here political standing ?
Troy Day
should DETROIT / Akron stand along this alike MN? Michael Ellis Carter Jr.
Troy Day
is MLWK revival pro-MLK legal stance Joseph D. Absher
Troy Day
was NOAH boat a MLK-like stance Philip Williams or you just feel its finding in the TK mineshaft could be for the world?
Troy Day
was very baptist preacher MLK pro-your Progresso VS espresso rapture theoretical interpretations? Jose Salinas It has just occurred to me John Mushenhouse Terry Wiles that NOTHING in early Pentecostal was progressive – neither sanctification nor rapture Everything was expressive at the moment right then and now HOW could then disp. for early Pentecostals be progressive? Sounds like such a mesmerizing theological nonsense by baptistic + bapticostal friends

The Blue States are breaking MANY just laws, as did the Biden Administration. That is why the work of ICE and the DOJ to remove known Illegal Immigrant murders, rapists, child traffickers, etc., is so vital.
Paul Hughes
Bill & Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama talked tough on Illegal Immigrants.
