The Law

The third item in the Ark according to Hebrews 9 was the Law written on two tablets of stone. This law has been the basis for criminal law for years but lately that has come under attack. We are no longer responsible for our actions but rather we are victims. Change society and we won't have crime. However, the Ten Commandments make it clear that we are responsible. The Law shows that we are sinners in need of a Saviour. Oliver Wendell Holmes began to shift the foundations from the justice that was ultimately derived from God's Law to social and economic polices proven scientifically to work best (according to Holmes). A century later we know that this does not work.
