Problem:
I do believe that what our government ought to do today should reflect the wisdom from then and be applied to our rulers today. Government is meant to deal out the consequences for negative or wrongdoings and to promote what is right and law abiding. We currently live in a fallen world, and have for a long time. If unchecked , there would be constant chaos and disorder. Governments are in place to ensure peace, justice and order for those that choose to live so accordingly. Once again, because God mandated and ordained government, civil authorities are said to be God's wrath on the wrongdoer's, and are God's servants, with the power to punish. Authorities instil fear in doing evil; however, there is no fear if one is not doing evil. I think today the government does in many ways, even when it seems divided still tries to care for marginalized communities, the poor and needy. I feel like unfortunately, the numbers of such needs are just so vast that resources are just not unlimited. I feel that government follow all of the previously listed topics in various ways as discussed throughout this course through many different functions like court systems; government programs; jails and corrections and other institutions.... positive response.
