Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Holy his will abideth;
I will be still whate'er he doth;
And follow where he guideth:
He is my God: though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall:
Wherefore to him I leave it all.
Whate'er my God ordains is right:
He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path;
I know he will not leave me:
I take, content, what he hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait his day.
Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking:
My God is true; each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.
Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet am I not forsaken;
My Father's care is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall:
And so to him I leave it all.  (TH, 94).

1.     The civil change of a human being should not be the primacy or supremacy of importance for civil criminals.

2.     The redemptive change of human beings should be the primacy or supremacy of importance for civil criminals.

3.     The redemptive change will follow a civil change, but a civil change will not always follow a redemptive change.  The ultimate aim in the ultimate betterment of a free republic-democracy in society is the regenerating presence of God the Spirit and His Word.  Luther said “sin boldly” if the wicked seek injustice, but the Puritans would also say that let us not be ashamed of our repentance.  What does it mean?  It means sometimes the obvious of doing right is the only way to stand for Jesus though it may cost us everything.  Repentance is not “Aha!  Aha!  I have seen it and now you will pay!”  Rather repentance is “Praise God that such a one is now seeking the face of Jesus and he is really forgiven!”  Do not further the wrong over the right, but the right over the wrong. 

4.     All things should be focused on the redemptive change no matter what (will you endure all things for the sake of the elect in 2 Timothy 2:10?), because the redemptive change is about the ultimate good and what is always right according to the glory of Jesus Christ.

5.     All things should not be centered on a civil change unless it will follow a redemptive change.

6.     There is a civil change that leads to city life that is unto justice like Cain, but for some of the non-elect there is an outward civil change that leads to suicide like Judas Iscariot.

7.     The punishment for overall criminals of every degree for the never-converted non-elect is divine judgment apart from civil prosecution and imprisonment where they become vessels of abiding wrath as they walk along life’s road for ultimate damnation.

8.     It is possible to have a murderer be sentenced to life imprisonment and come to a redemptive change, but it is possible to put to death a civil criminal who has a civil seeking unto the things of God but end in the execution of the death penalty and eternal condemnation.

9.     It is possible to know through God’s outworking providence if a fallen sinner who has violated the civil law has the path to lead to “death row” but not every fallen sinner who has violated the civil law should be put to the path of “death row” if it is not prescribed by a holy God and His plan of ultimate justice, because it has been divinely satisfied through the cosmic propitiatory sacrifice of the divine Lamb of God (Jesus Christ alone).

10. Many “devil devils” will object to the ancient practice of the death penalty, because of the practice of hidden lawlessness like the Papists.

11. Revenge is not a matter of fallen sinners or the civil magistrate, but just vengeance is what the civil government partakes.  It is like angel armies partaking of the power of Jesus Christ, but fallen sinners should not partake of revenge.

12. A holy Triune God sometimes works above, against and beyond secondary means (creation and pre-Incarnate appearance in the Old Testament of God the Son) and it further He does not necessarily need fallen man and civil government unless in His all-wise counsel He chooses to use secondary means to further His cosmic purpose.

13. For example, the old Balaam fell in ancient battle in that a holy Triune God had the very darkness of Balaam smite him in physical combat.  A holy Triune God can use combat to recompense His enemies’ justice before ultimate justice but also unto an ultimate justice that spends eternity in everlasting gnashing of teeth and outer darkness.

14. It is possible for a murderer to be sentenced to life imprisonment and yield only an outward appearance of “change” when it is not a true or civil or redemptive change.  That is, this is like the masquerade of Satan as an angel of light.

15. Sometimes because of cosmic treason (sin) there can be multiple judgments of civil authorities and government and a holy God opposed to a civil violator of the civil and moral law of God.

16. It is possible for a murderer and a rapist as one person to be a pre-converted elect sinner but before the choosing by a holy Triune God he or she finds himself on the wrong side of warfare, but a faithful Triune Creator and Redeemer according to His time saves in time and space those who are His after the sins of the pre-converted elect no matter what spiritual, moral or civil crimes he or she has committed: namely, behold the offense of the superlative Cross of Jesus Christ for His chosen outcasts (for example, the apostle Paul).

17. There are some elect sinners who would benefit by the Word preached in light of Reformed Orthodoxy in a judicial system that assigns this divine task to the local church, but also adjusts their prison system.  That is, an ecumenical approach has had the opposite effect.  How?  It cannot produce a redemptive change but potentially a civil change, but what is a civil change worth if it is not a mind-and-heart change in the sense of God’s salvational presence?  Dear Waldron, behold the tears of Esau, but you ought to seek the tears of Peter!

18. There is a true chemical balance in the human brain whether elect or non-elect, but moral crime is still crime and violations of the law are still violations of the law.  However, in light of these facts there is recognition of compassion in both cases: namely, the elect unto mercy and the non-elect unto justice.  Merciful compassion for an offender that has Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is not a violation of the law.  Rather let God be God: namely, He will work out His corrective judgment in chastening that is not the excuse of the flames of purgatory, but the non-meritorious correction by a holy God that adds nothing to the only true and real merit of merits in Jesus.

19. There are supernatural words like a holy God judging Cain that surpasses words of the civil authorities, but also yields a greater judgment and cosmic purpose and meaning.

20. There is a civil restraining grace among the non-elect that is different than the converted elect.  That is, the difference simply is the non-elect do not have the Spirit in them but the converted elect have the Spirit in them.   What does this mean concerning the civil law?  It means true Christians will obey the law of God by the Spirit but the non-elect have a civil obedience to the law.  The Spirit of God is better than a civil obedience, because it is ultimately good.  If you care merely for the outward appearance of keeping the law, it is better to keep the law inwardly as well as outwardly but not just outwardly.

21. The prophets of the Old Testament were law enforcers of the moral law of God for obedience that pointed them to the ultimate and higher righteousness and remission than the Cross of Jesus Christ.

22. There is a civil restraining grace among the pre-converted elect before they come to know Christ, but it is with a greater emphasis than a mere civil restraining grace in light of the presence of the Triune God after God alone chooses them in time and space.

23. There is no problem that heaven cannot solve.  This ultimately means that justice is satisfied at the Cross of Jesus Christ not for everyone but for those to whom it is intended.  It is a higher justice than anything the earthly court system can yield. 

24. The other justice that does not redeem is the place of everlasting hell. 

25. The aim for all people should be the divine satisfaction of Christ at His Cross in the place of God’s place alone through the Word preached but it is how God intends to use it whether for conviction of sin unto remission or for attrition-like awareness of sin unto judgment.  

26. There is a sense also where Incarnate Deity (Jesus Christ alone) has let the blind alone to fall into the pit: namely, they will get repaid by their own sinfulness of sin whether for ultimate justice by God’s choice or a holy God will change it for a real spiritual awakening for Christian humility unto ultimate mercy, but in whatever case it is for the holy and eternal glory of Incarnate Majesty (Jesus Christ).

27. There is a sense where there is knowledge of wrongdoing (for example, we know Peter denied Christ), but there is also a real sense where Jesus has already taken that upon Himself through the propitiation and expiation of the Cross.

28. A holy Triune God is able to work through secondary means to accomplish His sovereign purpose, but it does not mean fallen man and fallen Lucifer is sovereign.  There is no sovereignty of God’s fallen creatures, but this is what evil times yield.  You must imitate a holy God in terms of His holiness but not as a demi-god.  How does man respond?   To sum it up for you it simply means to do whatsoever is right.

29. It is better to let a civil offender go through the non-justice of legitimate mercy (not more injustice) than release a civil offender through more injustice (non-mercy).  In other words, every fallen sinner on earth has a specific plan to undergo by a holy foredetermined God: namely, it is not all necessarily the same.   Moreover, justice is not preserved through the practice of an unholy bended knee or any immoral evils for that matter.  That is, this does not preserve justice but furthers injustice. 

30. To the best of your knowledge in light of the infallible Scriptures, preserve the dignity and honor of justice, mercy and liberty in the honor of Jesus through seeking excellence unto an aim for God’s Triune majesty without sexual favors.  Do not partake of the group of the end times described in Revelation chapter 18, because a holy God is not the author of injustice.  Rather a holy Triune God is author of holiness, justice and mercy without the darkness of cosmic villainy in light of God’s perfect holiness: namely, a standard that none come to by nature.  Rather it is a foreign righteousness imputed by faith alone.

31. It is possible to change the behavior of a elect and non-elect sinners through a balance of chemicals in the human brain, but not every elect sinner that has the Spirit will adjust to a true balance in the human brain, but also not all non-elect sinners will adjust in light of a chemical imbalance that do not have the Spirit.  It depends on what God does in all things as He pleases.

32. There should not be unjust classifications of crimes to further some injustice by a government that sways the facts for its favor only because it’s the government: namely, the preservation of intelligence is at stake because of the necessity and nature of truth.  Something classified could be a real unknown but actual criminality by appearance but also hidden in a hyper-civil mechanism that furthers crime with an unwilling will when the victim is dependent upon his "controller behind the scene" that is independent upon himself through a hidden satanic, brainwashed but psychological warfare that is dependent upon the "demi-god" behind the scene like "men enslaved to men" in something like "terror-controlled drowns" in utter orchestration, manipulation, exploitation and serious manifestation of criminal and abnormal behavior of "men enslaved to men" that results in a premeditated, commission and acts of crime (whether murder and/or rape) and it can even happen in federal court by "controlling" the testimony of those who are to be exposed: namely, to break free is a unseen battle that is liberated through the adjustment of the hyper-induced second cause (fallen men and women on whatever side is being fought).  The person stuck with the crime is in a "set-up" by the controller of the outward crime.  I have discovered this through a situation I went through myself by the "group of the end times."  It is a real threat to national security, freedom, law and the warfare of a democratic-republic.  In studying sin from theology, suppose this happens to a pre-converted elect person or later a Christian or both?  What should be done before a holy God in light of sin?  All of this is true but we must take full responsibility before a holy God and always end up on the side of the forgiveness of the gospel even when we are not sure if it is totally us: namely, the honor of Jesus is at stake and I leave no stone unturned even though I believe this is the case.  The greater sin belongs to Judas (modern day Mr. Gomes), but Pilate (Judge Kilgallen) has done the lesser sin.  Tell me Mr. and Mrs. Balaam, what is truth?  No doubt it is Jesus Christ and He will deal with you face to face in His own timing whether a personal encounter now or at the Last Day.  

33.  We ought to be like William Wallace that fights for freedom even when we get torn apart, but also like Stonewall Jackson that furthers the gospel before taking up warfare with His brothers either in Adam or in Christ.  Let me say that in a Day of Grace there should not be warfare among Christians, but in some sense there will always be evil unto the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  Why is it this way?  Human beings are not all-wise, but a holy Triune God is all-wise.  That is, He is working out His ultimate, hidden and meticulous purpose of Himself to bring His dear Son all the majestic glory.  Why?  Because a holy Triune God always does what is right.

To thee, our God, we fly
For mercy and for grace:
O hear our lowly cry,
And hide not thou thy face:
O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
Arise, O Lord of Hosts;
Be jealous for thy Name,
And drive from out our coasts
The sins that put to shame:
The powers ordained by thee
With heav'nly wisdom bless;
May they thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness:
The church of thy dear Son
Inflame with love's pure fire;
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire:
Give peace, Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult thy majesty: (TH, 618).
