” John Adams: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” ” Over the years I’ve come to recognize that is so true. One can have a lawyer written, duly filed contract, but only as valid as the parties involved. All the layers of dross laid upon the Constitution allow immoral people to not live up to their end of the bargain because too many times the people with the most money win in court through attrition. Or one wins in court and the offending party has all their assets in a spouses name. This happened while farming when a very brazen individual completely in the open was selling used silos and never delivering, to more farmers than just me. The state police, FBI, state attorney general, all refused to enforce the law that we won in court. After entering Christian Science had a buyer default on my wife’s property. Using prayer to the best of my ability with positive results. Glory to God always; when used as taught in Christian Science. (Through all the litigation she was unjustly dragged into, by listening to God, Mary Baker Eddy always told her lawyers the RIGHT thing to do!!)

And Mrs. Eddy was equally absolutist: “The thunder of Sinai [the Ten Commandments] and the Sermon on the Mount are pursuing and will overtake the ages, rebuking in their course all error and proclaiming the kingdom of heaven on earth.” (SH 174.) Mrs. Eddy was definitely absolutist in being able to discern the Spirit of God’s Word.
