Where is Law of God applied? Nowhere!
Where is the law of God? Nowhere! It is not practiced in any one society or community in the whole world today.
If we agree that there are three monotheistic religions and three scriptures prescribing the same thing in terms of a divine law then we cannot even see one society implementing the scriptures in one way or the other.
What we observe are individuals who more or less exercise the perceptions of their scriptures. If the three monotheistic religions are taken as divine pronouncements and laws then where are these implemented? Nowhere.
The Torah, labeled as the Law of God, represents the Law sent to mankind and particularly to the Children of Israel some two thousands and three hundred years ago revealed to Moses at the Sinai Mountain following the Exodus from Egypt.
The Tablets of the divine Law was sent to the Children of Israel to regulate their lives, informing them of God as the creator of the universe, the creator of life and death. It prescribes for the Children of Israel the law they should abide by and should apply in their Daly lives.
It warns them that if they comply by the Law and comply by its commandments they shall be rewarded abundantly in this world. But if they reject the Law and do not obey its commandments then God will send His wrath on them and destroy them.
It is a form of Alliance where a Covenant is convened between God and the Children of Israel.
The Torah informs us then of how many times the Children of Israel broke their Covenants and how many times the divine wrath befell on them.
Nowadays, nowhere the Law of the Torah is applied. In Israel, the Jewish State, coming into existence in 1948, not one single commandment of their Torah is applied. Not even one commandment prescribed for them is implemented, in one way or the other. Jewish people today, whether in Israel or elsewhere are as far for their Law as planet Earth from Antares. It is a laic state and the Jews carry on living in a most temporal form of practice.
The ends of earthly gains and profits ( the end justifies the means), especially money and power, dominate the Jewish state and the Jews living under its flag. Jews in Israel live each for his or her interest, though some of them practice their religious precepts at home and Synagogues they are individuals and not communal. Only one faction of Jewish orthodoxy practices and at a very limited communal level in Israel exercises some of the commandments prescribed in the Law.
Christianity is nowhere practiced. Christians living under different societies in the world are no practitioners of their religion. Temporal life with its gains and profits dominate their living styles.
Nowhere in the world Christianity is applied and Christians make their own religion, what they understand of it. It is mostly on individual levels, while most Christians have left the precepts of their religion to indulge into the lusts and desires of this life, while Christianity prescribes the kingdom of heaven as a mode of living and that citizenship is not for this world but for the hereafter. But Christians apply best of rendering unto Caesar what belongs to Ceasar and rendering unto God what belongs to God, and thus separate their lives from God.
Nowhere is Islam applied and its divine prescriptions are not applied. Saudi Arabia Kingdom, with its pretension to be the guardian of Islam and its religious precepts, is so far away from any of its practices. It only applies some precepts of he Islamic criminal law (al-hudud) in some cases only. But the political structure is against Islam in spirit and in form, for in Islam there is no monarchy and no kings and princes who rule and dominate the lives of Muslims.
The precept of (Shura) or mutual consultation in running and deciding the affairs of all Muslims is in the hands of all Muslims is replaced by a monarchic tyranny and despotism that leaves any dictatorship in the world half way. In the economic field Islam prescribes sharing of wealth and equitable distribution of natural and public resources, but in the Kingdom of the Saudis this is the least the case.
So much economic distinction between the adversely poor and the extremely wealthy. In the social domain there is a pre-dominant class structure that makes the difference between the heaven and the earth. No precepts of solidarity is applied, no precepts of union and brotherhood is applied. Every Saudi is for himself, or herself. Islam is the least seen in the land of Islam.
So where is God's Law? Nowhere! In the Scriptures only!
