THE DOCTRINE OF DIVINE ESTABLISHMENT
1.Definition and Description
A. God has ordained certain laws for the survival and freedom of the human race during the course of human history. Anarchy exists when segments of nations ignore these laws. The laws of divine establishment provide the freedom to fulfill the divine plan as ordained in the divine decrees under many forms of government
B. The laws of Divine Establishment are designed and directed toward both believer and unbeliever.
C. The Laws of Divine Establishment operate from the fall of man to the Second Advent, as well as in the Millennium. However, in the Millennium, some modifications will be needed in Divine Establishment to make it compatible with the perfect environment which will be realized under the benevolent dictatorship of Jesus Christ.
D. The laws of Divine Establishment affect freedom, civilization, authority, evangelism, spiritual growth, and perpetuation of the human race. They are as important as the law of gravity.
E. The laws of Divine Establishment define freedom in terms of privacy, property and authority. There is no such thing as the enjoyment of life or freedom without the existence of authority.
F. Both the privacy of the individual and the function of legitimate authority are necessary for the function of human freedom.
G. Therefore, the four divine institutions, volition, marriage, family and nationalism are the basis for the laws of divine establishment.
H. God also has a system of divine laws for angels and nature. All of these laws are designed to resolve the angelic conflict using an inferior creature: man.
A. Volition the soul is prepared for us by God. It is the house for human life. The body is the house for the soul. The justice of God imputes human life to the soul; human life resides in the soul forever. No man can remove human life from the soul. We have two sets of laws: (a) establishment, and (b) The Royal Family Honor Code under which believers are required to function. With both sets of law functioning in the believer’s life, he has great capacity for life, integrity and enough doctrine to reach spiritual maturity. The soul is made up of volition, self-consciousness, mentality and conscience. Volition is the authority of the soul. Human volition must have privacy and freedom for proper function. As a matter of principle, there is no freedom without privacy, as you cannot exercise volition without privacy. Divine Establishment provides freedom and privacy for those who refrain from violating the criminal laws of Divine Establishment. While people are not born equal or live in equality, they must have freedom of choice and the right to live in a free society, pursuing a course of action compatible with their own aspirations or lack thereof. We should have the right to go as far as our abilities and motivations will take us. No government should ever have the right to destroy our motivation by saying we are greater than we are, or by providing everything for us. Variation in human ability, both inherent and acquired, does not preclude freedom and freedom of decision in adult persons. All normal persons have the option of positive or negative volition at God-consciousness, plus the freedom to accept or reject Jesus Christ at Gospel hearing. Freedom is the basis for true evangelism. Freedom of speech and worship are necessary for advance to spiritual maturity. Freedom is the normal sphere of function for the volition of the soul. There have been some notable exceptions to the principle however, such as in the roman empire where slavery was prevalent but slaves were essentially free to come and go as they pleased so long as they acquitted their responsibilities.Thus throughout history it has been possible to live under slavery and be evangelized and from there advance to spiritual maturity.
Under the authority of the laws of divine establishment, the right man / right woman relationship becomes the normal, legitimate expression of category two love (I Cor. 7:9; I Tim. 5:14; Eph. 5:22, 23, 28 & 33; Heb. 13:4). Marriage is the beginning of authority in life for adults. All authority is vested in the husband and there are no exceptions or rationalizations. Violations of a principle do not change the principle as is demonstrated in the fact that God continues to use the local church no matter how badly it fails. Because of bad emotion, marriage is one of the greatest areas for making mistakes in life. Therefore, in approaching marriage, one has to be rational in both function and response. The principle of marriage rejects the concepts of revolution, anarchy, adultery, or promiscuousness as it is supposed to be the basis for stability in society and for the formation of civilization.

DOCTRINE OF THE SOUL conclusion
The soul must be distinguished from the human spirit.
A.Originally man (the created man: Adam) was trichotomous, having been created with a body, soul and human spirit Gen. 2:7
B.After the fall, man is born dichotomous, having only a body and soul, I Cor. 2:14; Jude 19
C.The believer, however, is said to have a body, soul and spirit, I Thes 5:23. The human spirit is regenerated by God the Holy Spirit at the point of salvation.
Psm. 19:7; 34:22; Mark 8:36-37; I Pet 1:9; Heb. 10:39
A.Therefore, there is no “healing in the atonement.” The body is not saved because the old sin nature still resides there. In eternity, the soul is given a perfect body minus the old sin nature therefore assuring that the eternal body and soul are incapable of both sin and human good.
B.To have a soul, human spirit and a resurrection body is strictly the result of grace, which is God’s plan.
C.Those in eternity who glorify God will be those who had maximum Bible doctrine in their souls in time.
2.The soul is the area of the worst sins which are mental attitude sins, Job 21:25; Zech. 11:8
A.The content of the soul is seen when a person speaks. What you truly are is revealed when you speak.
B.Sins of the tongue reveal mental attitude sins. If you are beset by feelings of guilt, if you are arrogant, bitter, or are seeking revenge, involved in sins of anger, hatred, jealousy and envy, you will speak in such a manner that your mental attitude sins are revealed.
C.Therefore, the soul is the launching pad of all overt sins as well as sins of the tongue.
3.The soul becomes the seat of misery because of scar tissue of the soul, Psm. 6:3; 106:15; 119:25, 28, 81
4.The soul is the area for all capacities, good and bad. The mature believer in time, has maximum capacity for life, love and happiness. However, the reversionistic believer, residing in the cosmic system, has maximum capacity for sin, human good, evil and self-induced misery.
