"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverb. 3: 5-6
The Establishment.
(Personal note.)

God established the laws of nature. He also established laws for man. They do not 'change.' Because of man's breaking of His laws, facing the wrath of God, i.e., the lake of fire that is never quinched, prepared for the master facilitator of 'change,' i.e., the master psychotherapist and all who follow after him He has provided a way out. His only begotten Son's, Jesus Christ's shed blood on the cross.
There is nothing in the creation that can save you from judgment, condemnation, and being cast into the lake of fire that is never quinched except His Son. God is patient, that you might repent but, like the law of gravity not tolerant (changing His mind because he likes you). The next breath you take is a gift from God (as all the breathes you have taken and all the breaths you will be taking are a gift from God, until your death, i.e., your last breath).
What you are thinking, saying, and doing with your next breath will determine where you will spend eternity (what will God do to the man who curses Him with the next breath He gives him). Like the law of gravity, doing His will or doing your will will determine the rest. It is established. On the day of judgment (as jumping out of an airplane 2,000 feet above the ground without a parachute, when you hit an object) your opinion will not count.
When you turn to the "scientific method," where man 'discovers' the laws of nature (that are established by God) in order to determine right and wrong behavior you have damned your soul to the lake of fire that is never quinched, having rejected your salvation which can only come from God. When the establishment is of man there is, after death only the lake of fire that is never quinched. When the establishment is God there is eternal life.
These are two political system. One 'justifying' lust, i.e., you doing what you want in defiance to God. The other condemning those who lust, who is the only giver of life, i.e., the life you now live and your life after death, providing you repent, and denying the former follow after Him. Despite what anyone thinks or says, He has the final say.
