Matthew 27:25 Then answered all the people and said His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Let us reiterate again, before proceeding; wherever you have the guiding principle of a “government by the people, for the people whether it be democratic or theocratic “We the people” would sooner or later make demands that are diabolically opposed to God and righteousness, and that is because of inherent, fallen human nature.
This is actually the fundamental flaw in democracy, where majority rule bears sway. In other words, if in our democracy God is relegated to a subjective role, then the clamors of fallen human nature inevitably, will gain the ascendency, and will be pitted against God’s revealed will.
History is witness to this fact and it is now sweeping America like a tornado, as the majority of “We the people” clamor for more alternative marriages and lifestyles, which the Bible proscribes. Twenty years ago this was not the case but as the majority of “We the people” approved of, or demanded it, politicians and the judicial branch were goaded under pressure to acquiesce.
Exodus 23:2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
