Jehovah, who is God over all has ordained two governments here on this
earth: the spiritual, which by the Holy Spirit under Christ makes the
Israel of God. Those are marked by showing reverence for Jesus Christ
and devotion to true divine worship by the Holy Spirit through His
people and the secular which restrains the unchristlike people and
wicked so that they are obliged to keep the peace outwardly, forcible.
The laws of worldly government extend no farther than to personal
existence called life and property and what is external upon this earth.
For over the soul God can and will let no one rule but himself.
Therefore, where temporal power presumes to prescribe laws for the soul,
it encroaches upon God’s government and only misleads and destroys
souls into eternity. The Church Jesus Christ desire to make this so
clear that everyone can grasp and that the teachers, preachers, and
bishops may see what fools they are when they seek to coerce the people
with their laws and commandments into believing one thing or another
Divine Lordship is not a threat; rather it’s the
place of greatest safety.
