While it is clear today that gentiles have never been under the Law of Moses and the Church certainly is not under that system, yet the Law of Moses is the only code we have given by God for a genuine nation on earth. As such, it should be considered most carefully by any modern nation as a guide to civil government... Adoption of many provisions of the Law of Moses for our own law would improve our government no end. The most pitiful thing about the Law of Moses is that it was rarely used in the OT.
