Why isn't the Law of God applied anywhere in the world today?
Nowhere in the world today the Law of God is applied! Take a look at every society, at every country and at every state, and you do not see the Law of God! Not even a glimpse of it! No trace, no one listens to it, no one complies by it, no one executes its precepts. As if it does not exist! As if God does not exist!
For if people believe in God they apply His law. If they acknowledge God as their creator, they would implement His legislation.
But belief and practice are two different things and can be completely separated. The proof is what we see in the world now.
If God's Law is exemplified in the three monotheistic religions then the three scriptures reveal the divine law. The divine law expresses the divine will, but who implements its precepts? Only on very limited individualistic bases that we do observe the practice of the divine law, and in order to be sure this is the case we have to make a thorough investigation into the life if such individuals.
But the divine Law is a communal law and is not individualistic prescriptions to be applied in the privacy of your attic.
Practice of belief and its manifestations can be indeed carried out in the privacy of your attic, where worship, prayers, being grateful and keeping remembrance of God can be fully established.
However, this is not enough, for the law of God does not consist, according to the three scriptures, the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur'an, of a solitude worship of God, it is a fully comprehensive way of life in relation with the divine, and is performed on the communal level in all exclusivity.
A human being, a believer that is, does not live in isolation like a Robinson Crusoe living in a hut on a tree in a remote island in the pacific ocean, but rather among his fellow-humans in interdependent relationships with other humans, believers or not. He shares life with all other human beings.
He must thus share his decisions with others, he, being totally dependent on others in his or her relations. Hence all affairs, whether political, social or economic, or otherwise, are all dependant on how the individual believer acts and reacts towards others.
The vertical relation with God is realized in the horizantal relation with others.
No one can live in absolute solitude. Inreality all humans live in communal relations with others.
In this, all are in need for laws to regulate their lives and regulate their relations with each other. This is where the law of God comes in to define humans, define their way of living and prescribe for them the path of God.
But all human societies do not apply the divine law preferring human laws to divine ones.
This is because either that humans do not believe in God and do not hence apply His law. It is also because the divine law is out of date for most people. It is old fashion and humans need to progress and advance in their live. It is also because it prescribes laws that are not accepted by humans, for one reason or another.
It is because the divine law is concerned with the divine and human law deals with humans. It is because the divine law does not accord with the whimsies of the human nature. It is because the human law is more merciful and the divine one, to some, is more drastic. For example capital punishment is prescribed in the Torah and in the Qur'an but the law of humans does not accept this rule.
Capital punishment is now applied less and les in the world, for the human law does not permit it. Adultery and theft and dealt with very sternly in the Torah and the Qur'an while nowhere in human law is dealt with so strictly and sternly.
Then the communities concerned do not demand such implementation of God's law. States are either laic, in the most of cases and when they have a flavor or religious spirit, in very rare cases, do not apply the divine law in its full form but apply it very partially in some cases.
Religion is no where applied now, and hence the law of God is not the present first preoccupation of leaders of societies.
