Rebelling against God has consequences. This is one of the clearest examples of how people trust human law over God’s law.
The Bill of Rights was written to place limits on government power, yet even within it, men accepted the idea that property could still be taken from someone by force through "due process" and compensation.
In other words, as long as the state followed procedure and paid for it, theft could be legalized under human authority.
But the Law of God doesn't leave loopholes.
"Thou shalt not steal," you cannot take something that doesn't belong to you without the owner's consent.
It doesn't make exceptions for kings, politicians, courts, law enforcement, majorities, agencies, or governments.
God did not say, “Thou shalt not steal…unless it is voted on,” or "unless compensation is offered afterward."
If something does not belong to you, you have no righteous claim to take it without consent.
The Tenth Commandment goes even deeper. God did not just forbid theft itself; He forbade coveting.
We are not even supposed to desire or want to take control over what belongs to some else. The corruption begins in the heart long before the theft happens in practice.
Human governments spend thousands of pages trying to justify what God condemned in a single sentence.
They invent licenses, permits, eminent domain, forfeitures, "rescues", taxes, and legal exceptions to make legalized theft appear righteous. But no statute can overrule God’s commandment.
That alone shows the superiority of the Lord’s law over the laws of men. And that is only dealing with property.
