The Biblical Boundaries of Good Government (these from Pastor Barry Mahler-see link after #12):
Government must:
- Pass a simple system of laws that honor and protect humanity’s most precious asset – the image of God in us (Genesis 9:6b; Exodus 20:2)
- Enforce that system of laws (Genesis 9:5,6)
- Maintain an open, fair and free judicial system (Exodus 18:21,22; Deuteronomy 19:15)
- Ensure capital punishment for murderers (Genesis 9:6), other serious offenders (Leviticus 20) and repeat offenders (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
- Fine and/or physically punish minor offenders, after which they are to be set free (Leviticus 6:4,5; Deuteronomy 25:2,3)
- Quarantine those with dangerous, infectious diseases (Leviticus 13)
- Maintain secure borders against the rest of the world (Joshua 13-19; 2 Samuel 8:6,14)
- Maintain a national language (Genesis 11:7-9; 2 Kings 18:26)
- Avenge and protect the blood of its people upon the world stage (1 Samuel 15:2,3)
- Maintain its roadways that its people may move about freely (Deuteronomy 19:3)
- Mint the coin of the realm (Exodus 30:13)
- Tax all of its people an equal percentage of their income to maintain these services (Leviticus 27:30)
