"Civil Government's Seventh Commandment Duty"

This message maintains that because the law of God is universal, each of the commandments must apply to all of the institutions and spheres of society, including Family, Church, and State. Further, the principle that the civil magistrate should punish overt violations of the seventh commandment, such as adultery, homosexuality, incest, bestiality, and pornography, is pre-Mosaic, though the various case laws confirm and strengthen the principle.
