The problem with that was everyone has a different moral code. The U.S. Founders turned that around. Natural Law defined that which was / is (gravity, physics, fiscal law, etc.) with morality being that which was in harmony with natural law. Dr. King's reference to "moral" is in harmony with his God and the U.S. Founder's definition. His use of law here also reflects carnal man's rules of tyranny (so called law) Reply Mary - MI 2/25/14 Reply watchman13, USA 2/25/14 Reply jim k, austin tx 2/26/14 SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
