Matthew Aitken live 29.09.21

When Jesus spoke the Truth to his accusers, he would justify himself by quoting Law.

First, he would quote God's Law, and after quoting God's Law He would often quote the accuser's law and use that against them as well.
For example, Jesus would say, "Did ye never read in the scriptures..." and then quote God's Law.
Then he would turn around and say, "Is it not written in your law..." and quote their own law!
His accusers would have no answer, they could not overcome Him. How could anyone overcome somebody who is obeying both God's Law and man's law!? If a man made law is just, it will be in harmony with God's Law.

It is important to distinguish between commercial law and maxims of law, when quoting from their law.
We should never, ever quote their codes, rules, regulations, ordinances, statutes, common law, merchant law, public policies, constitutions, etc., because these are commercial in nature, and if we use their commercial law, they can presume we are engaged in commerce (which means we are of the world), which will nullify our witness (because we are not of the world). Maxims of law are not commercial law, but are mostly based upon scripture and truth.

Consent and Contracts

Consent makes the law. A contract is a law between the parties, which can acquire force only by consent.

Consent makes the law: the terms of a contract, lawful in its purpose, constitute the law as between the parties.

To him consenting no injury is done.

He who consents cannot receive an injury.

Consent removes or obviates a mistake.

He who mistakes is not considered as consenting.

Every consent involves a submission; but a mere submission does not necessarily involve consent.

A contract founded on a base and unlawful consideration, or against good morals, is null.

One who wills a thing to be or to be done cannot complain of that thing as an injury.

The agreement of the parties makes the law of the contract.

The contract makes the law.

Agreements give the law to the contract.

The agreement of the parties overcomes or prevails against the law.
