Law #2

No legal standards are not limited to the determination and interpretation of each individual. If humans interpreted laws their own way, laws wouldn't have any authority and there would be no point of it. Even if people knowingly broke man's law, they could use the excuse that they interpreted the law differently so they wouldn't get accused. Laws are final, punishments however can be based on how someone argues their interpretation of the law. The law that God expects us to follow (unless it contradicts his word) is not up for negotiation. We must remember that when taking man's law into account that God placed each member of the government in power purposefully for us. But as sinful people, those who God choose often mess up as well. In this case, man is allowed to go against man's law (such as abortion laws!) This is the only time man is allowed to negotiate man's law (if it goes against God's law). In most cases, man's law, like God's law is there to protect us, so interpreting it differently would only cause harm.
