Hi, Cheri... The Hammurabi Code wasn't what I was talking about. Natural law theory asserts that the judgments of good and evil are not just arbitrary judgments of convenience or of political usefulness, but are fundamentally located in the very nature of men themselves. It is what men can know about right and wrong without the assistance of revelation. This idea is supported, as Hooker asserts, by Romans 2:14. Natural law is an idea that forms the basis of the philosophy of John Locke (1632-1704); from which the Framers drew in their thinking. However, the idea goes farther back than that. I seem to recall Thomas Aquinas writing about (13th century). I'm certain it even goes back farther than that. It gets kind of complicated. I probably should have left well enough alone. Never mind. :-) In Him, Doc |

Dear Doc, Maybe we don't have to go too far wayback to centuries ago but reading the 1st chapter "The Law of Human Nature" of Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) for grasping some idea. Shalom Azure |
