Interesting. I....I just have to say that is ideal. That the everyone is susceptible to the spirit and guidance by it, and therefore instead of being controlled by law, their good hearts are guided in the right direction. Unfortunately, the adversary is always hard at work, and what percentage is guided by the spirit, and what percentage thinks they are but really put the other things above it in a self serving way. That just brought it back to the starting point.
My reading travels tonight took me to deep dive into the Cambodian situation of the '70s. During the time, there a lot of confusing things going on, and now it is clear. I was bouncing between being on a carrier on Yankee Station at that time, and beng back in the states on a land base causing too many things to happen domestically. (Looking back, it was what it was.) With connection of later on, Vietnam got rid of Poi Pot and Khmer Rouge (think killing fields). I've known Cambodian refugees from that time. Then I come to a good article of the start of the Vietnam war. I was in a poor man's Italian restaurant one day when the Italians showed me a newspaper with the event that was excuse for Johnson releasing the brakes on warfare, and "the rest is history". My best friend has authored four books on the RVN war, but didn't capture it quite in that conclusive manner, more like a thousand data details.
On the Wikipedia sidebars are links to dozens of accounts of genocide, some of which I knew about, and also many things surrounding the "Indian Removal".and the situation of Mexico getting the Southwest, then our government pushing them our. Holy smokes, what a lotta!!!! I had known and/or learned about many things that weren't in the schoolbooks or TV documentaries. But it's been a sick, sick world.
YES: "Scripture has, I think, a clear answer for us as believers." Keywords: "for us as believers". Virtually the only and best thing we can do is make more people believers, but the problem is that many who claim to be don't really care deeply about the other folks who are children of God; they/we don't want to sacrifice in the way we learn in the temple, for the benefit of the other children. So we have all these wars, we stick our noses around, and we fuss about borders and DACA. We are nicy nice people, relatively comfortable, and want to be. Scriptures on the table. The scriptures aren't the problem. We are..
Oh how I wish for.... the Lord would like us to be.... "truly ethical society, each individual is led by their conscience and their conscience alone, not rhetoric.
Not rally bullhorns and name calling. No football field inhabited by kool aid drinkers on both ends.
This is hugely long, which I despise. My apology.
