Psalm 119:43, The Royal Law: Romans 12:10-21 & James 2:8; Psalm 119:44, Client Nation Culture is Maintained by Amalgamation of Immigrants

	36)	The two negative mandates of Leviticus 19:18 are stated in:
Romans 12:19 -	Beloved ones, stop avenging yourselves.  Instead, give place to punishment from the justice of God, for it stands written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
	37)	Incorporated into that same passage are commandments which make the positive mandate a part of the Honor Code:
Romans 12:10 -	With reference to your brotherly love, be devoted to each other; with reference to honor, let each one of you esteem others more highly than yourself by giving precedence to them.
v 14 -		Speak well of those who persecute you, keep on speaking well and do not curse them.
v 17 -	Never pay back evil for evil.  Respect what is honorable in the sight of all mankind.
v 18 -	If it is possible (and it is) as much as it depends on you, live in harmony with all mankind.
v 20 -	Nevertheless, if the one hostile to you is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink.  By doing this you pile up burning coals of fire on his head.
v 21 -	Stop being conquered by evil but conquer evil by means of good.
	38)	Not only is this mandate a part of the Royal Family Honor Code, it is to be regarded by the Church Age believer as The Royal Law.
James 2:8 -		If you are fulfilling the Royal Law, which is according to the Scripture [ Leviticus 19:18 ], “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” then you are doing the right thing in a right way.

39)	Our warrior is appealing to the Lord for justice under this ordinance found in the Establishment Code of the Mosaic Law.
40)	Jesus Christ has demonstrated the effectiveness of this Law by applying it at the cross.
41)	The writer of Psalm 119 applies the Law stated in Leviticus 19:18 to his situation and defers judgment to the Supreme Court of Heaven.
42)	By submitting to the divine ordinance he makes his appeal for divine justice.
Psalm 119:43 -	Do not take the Word of truth out of my mouth, for I confidently wait with patience [ yahal ] for Your justice.
	43)	It is not uncommon for the word mishpat to appear in the Old Testament in coordination with the word for Law, Torah.  In verse 44 we see this circumstance occur.
Psalm 119:44 -	[NAS] I will keep Your Law [ Torah ] continually, forever and ever.
1-	In order for the writer to keep the Law continually he must facilitate its content into his soul through Bible study.
2-	There is a cause and effect relationship between teacher and student.  The teacher teaches and the student learns.
3-	But God does not reveal Himself directly to mankind.  Instead He chooses to reveal Himself by means of agents, such as the human authors of Scripture, and, in Old Testament times, by dreams, visions, teaching angels, and theophanies of Jesus Christ.
4-	The ultimate point of contact between the eternal Logos and the soul of man became the written Logos.
5-	The first increment of this canon was the first five books of the Bible, referred to by several titles: The Mosaic Law, the Pentateuch, or the Torah.

6-	The word Torah has both a basic and a specific meaning.  The former means “teaching” while the latter means such things as “statutes, ordinances, precepts, commandments, and testimonies.”
7-	Under the basic idea of teaching, the Torah is the means by which God reveals to us basic insight into how to live with each other and to worship Him.
8-	The Law covers every category of human life.  Each category is to be lived under divine direction and care determined by the content of the Torah.
9-	Three major areas of human function are regulated by God in the Torah: The Order Code in the Ten Commandments, the Establishment Code, and the Spiritual Code.
10-	The Law thus reveals the divine will for one’s daily life regarding these three areas.
11-	Universal knowledge of the Torah results in a national wisdom that distinguishes the people of Client Nation Israel from all others.
12-	PRINCIPLE:	Diversity results in the destruction of a Client Nation.
13-	This does not mean that a Client Nation cannot survive unless all its citizens know doctrine.
14-	But it does mean that a Client Nation is such a nation because it possesses a large number of positive volition people whose very thought process is reflected in the national culture and which ultimately effects national policy.

15-	This is easy to understand on a smaller scale.  Take two congressional districts found in the St. Louis area, one represented by Dick Gephardt and the other by Jim Talent.  Each carries his district by large margins each election.  Mr. Talent could go into Mr. Gephardt’s district and Mr. Gephardt into Mr. Talent’s and both would lose.  Why?  Because the political thinking of the two districts is entirely different.  That thinking determines the type of politician elected and that in turn influences the types of bills which are passed in the House.
16-	The same is true for the United States as a Client Nation.  When a large number of its citizens are believers they tend to vote for representatives, senators, and presidents who at least subscribe to the laws of divine establishment if not the same theological perspective.  In this way Christianity does not determine the laws of the land or impose its will on the people but it does influence who writes its bills and passes its laws.
17-	Consequently, there can be a separation of church and state and believers can still impact the national culture and influence the types of laws that are passed.
18-	Therefore, you can see that a Client Nation could include people of many different religions and ethnic backgrounds but only one culture.
19-	The culture of a Client Nation must be based on establishment viewpoint derived from the Bible although it can include those of varying religions and races.
20-	This is workable however, only if those of divergent religions and races are successfully amalgamated into the general establishment culture.
21-	Diversity however asserts that no one culture is superior to any other and therefore all cultures must coexist.  However, in our nation, such diversity would erode and ultimately destroy our foundational culture based on establishment truth.  Diversity will lead to our Client Nation becoming tragically flawed.

22-	Our Client Nation is based on a Judeo-Christian ethic imbedded into Anglo-Saxon law expressed in Western European culture which all crystallized following the Protestant Reformation.
23-	An immigrants who enters into our Client Nation must be allowed to retain his religion and heritage but he must agree to learn our system of ethics, our system of jurisprudence, and our system of establishment or his cultural views will weaken the dominant culture to that degree.
24-	Amalgamation means teaching establishment truth and constitutional law and the immigrant learning and accepting them for application to life.
