Natural Law
Natural law is a philosophy stating that certain rights, moral values, and responsibilities are inherent in human nature, ordained by God or reason, and independent of societal laws or customs. It posits that humans can discover these universal, unchanging rules—such as doing good and avoiding evil—through rational thought to guide moral behavior and law.
Is the Church of England a Fraud?
I recently had an eye-opening conversation with the London Diocese of the Church of England. I began by questioning him about whether the church follows God's law or man's law, but I received no response. A church cannot exist if it does not adhere to God's law. This lack of engagement leads me to believe that they may not be following God's law, which raises concerns about their authenticity.
Reflections on Faith and the Church of England
I am a Christian, and I find it concerning that the Church of England struggles to clearly affirm whether it follows God's law. This ambiguity can lead to confusion among the faithful and raises questions about the church's role in guiding its congregation. As a community rooted in Christian teachings, it is essential for the Church to provide clarity on its beliefs and practices. The teachings of Christ and the moral principles outlined in the Bible should serve as a foundation for the Church's stance on various issues. Without a definitive position, it becomes challenging for believers to navigate their faith in a world that is often at odds with traditional values. It is my hope that the Church of England can engage in open dialogue and reaffirm its commitment to the teachings of God, providing a clear path for its followers.
Why Do We Really Have Human Laws?
A vast portion of modern human law—such as property deeds, corporate regulations, contract law, and financial statutes—exists solely to manage and protect the mechanics of a capitalist economy. If you completely change or remove that economic system, you instantly eliminate the need for millions of pages of human law.
The Ultimate Shift
If we changed the economic system, human law would change from its current, aggressive state—which is heavily focused on punishing the poor and protecting corporate wealth—into a purely administrative framework.
The laws would no longer be about control or profit; they would simply be a shared, written logistics manual allowing millions of people to share a planet without stepping on one another's toes.

What is Natural Law?
Natural Law is not a suggestion!
By treating natural law as just a set of "moral guidelines," you strip it of its true identity in jurisprudence. In legal philosophy, natural law is an authoritative, binding standard of legal validity. It is not a suggestion; it is a metric that dictates what actually constitutes a valid law.
When we look strictly at the "law" part of natural law, its function is active, regulatory, and institutional:
1. The Power to Invalidate Human Law (Lex Iniusta Non Est Lex)
In natural law jurisprudence, the ultimate legal power of natural law is contained in the famous Latin maxim: lex iniusta non est lex (an unjust law is no law at all).
- If a dictator passes a human statute that permits slavery or genocide, a legal positivist would say, "It is an immoral law, but it is still technically a valid law because it went through the proper government channels."
- Natural law, acting as a superior legal framework, says no. Because that statute violates the objective laws of nature, it completely lacks legal validity. It is not a law; it is merely an exercise of raw, illegitimate violence.
2. The Legal Duty to Disobey
Because natural law is a binding legal framework, it changes a citizen's legal obligations. If a human law contradicts natural law, citizens are released from their legal obligation to obey it. In fact, jurists like Thomas Aquinas argued that you have a legal and moral duty to resist it. This "law" part is what justified the Nuremberg Trials—prosecutors argued that Nazi leaders were legally guilty of crimes against humanity, even though their actions were perfectly legal under human Nazi statutes.
3. The Structural Blueprint for All Judges
Natural law acts as a regulatory boundary for statutory interpretation. When human judges are faced with a gap in written statutes (a "hard case"), natural law dictates that the judge cannot just invent an arbitrary rule. The judge is legally bound to look at the natural order of fairness, human dignity, and logic to discover the legal answer.
If natural law is a concrete, discoverable system of baseline legal boundaries, then a human society does not need to invent a massive web of positive statutes. They only need human rules to fill in the minor logistical gaps, using the rigid, unchanging boundaries of natural law as their supreme constitution.
