righteousness = justice
justice = righteousness
justice = righteousness
In this fifth Chapter of RJ Rushdoony's "In His Service" he continues to explain how Humanism destroys God's "Division of Labour" especially in regards to the family. What is "Division of Labour"?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
So, in other words, we don't call a baker when our cow needs a c-section. Likewise we should not call on the state to have power and control over our children, education, property, inheritance, welfare or marriage. These responsibilities, labours, belong to the family.
Scripture divides the labour among three major institutions: family, church, and state. Family is God's basic institution and it is given the responsibility to have power and control over our children, education, property, inheritance, welfare and marriage. Yet, Humanism strives and has largely succeeded in tranfering these powers and controls over to the state. The division of labour is slowly being distroyed and with it a free and godly society. Without a free and godly society there is no justice, no righteousness.
In order to divide the labour. The institution of the family must be understood and established. Marriage must be understood and established. Marriage is a scarament of the family. Rushdoony points out the scripture that ordains man and woman by marriage as one, the woman from the man and the man from the woman. The rise in man's "rights"over women , as in the 18th century, and woman's "rights" over men, as in the 19th and 20th centuries, are ungodly and irresponsible because they "seek power apart from God and over eachother" . He explains the convenantal or the "giveness" of marriage as being the foundation of a godly family and the romantic, pragmatic, mercenary or the "free choice" of marriage as the foundation of a humanistic family.
The godly family works together to establish God's righteousness, justice, in the labour it has been ordained to do:
rearing children
owning family property (a trust from the Lord)
building inheritances (reserving assets for a godly seed to continue the establishment of God's kingdom on earth)
education
welfare
The godly family is the vehicle for the driving force of God's kingdom on earth, the regeneration of the entire creation.
