My Reflection on People Neglecting the Importance of Ecclestiastes 8:11

Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."

I've observed how people today laugh at the Bible as a "book of fables" yet it contains the most practical advice in life. If the Bible is just a book of fables then why try to appeal to law and order when the Bible is a book of law and order? I'd like to talk about Ecclesiastes 8:11's principle of providing proper punishment for any misdeed.

It's very common to see how a lot of evil is done in the name of human rights. I could evaluate a few of these stupidities that many countries suffer from today:

• They can't distinguish authoritarian governments from authoritative governments then wonder why society has no order.
• They cry foul for sentenced criminals instead of the victims of criminals then wonder why crime is so rampant.
• They think spanking is child abuse then wonder why many children grow up so spoiled.
• They think perjury shouldn't be treated as a criminal offense then wonder why a lot of innocent people are now in jail.
• They think that telling homosexuals of the dangers of their acts is equivalent to a hate crime then wonder why so many people die from homosexuality-related deaths.
• They think that curfews for minors is unjust then wonder why so many minors are either getting victimized by crime or performing the crimes themselves.
• The list can go on and on that it drives me dizzy because of their love for sin then they wonder why society is getting worse!

That's just a few of the many stupidities that the world is suffering from today no thanks to calling vile people as liberals (Isaiah 32:5). All in the name of being liberal a lot of vile acts are approved to be legal right now. There's hardly any just and proper discipline implemented to keep society straight. It's stupid how people can love sin and hate its consequences, how people can neglect punishing crime yet they complain when there's no peace and order, they hate discipline then complain why their children are not growing up right and how they think lying in court is no offense yet complain about innocent people in jail. They profess to be wise but they became fools (Romans 1:22).

Remember that 1 Timothy 1:8-10 says, "But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;". We need laws to punish wrong because we live in a sinful world. Sad to say, the whole world is just getting worse and people are too stupid not to even notice it!
