If you mean laws that relate to souls/gods and not the physical incarnation of man, where is a reference to the spiritual laws even existing?

Ask and you shall be given

Seek and you will find

These are the most known.

DD, I'm not sure if you're making a scriptual argument or a metaphysical/philosophical argument. Do you have scriptual references for what you're saying? Or is what you're trying to say more like:
Perhaps there are provisions within the law of God to allow "prophets"/messengers of God to legally catch offenders. Which comes across a little more philosophically...


As I said I don't know all the spiritual laws, well afaik .

The "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" is nice saying, but when you read the OT law god also demanded "justice". The execution of Jesus was nothing but justice in the eyes of the Jew. He thus failed to fulfill another messianic prophesy in that he was not blameless.

And so HUMANS acted as God when they stoned for his blasphemy against God. God should punish him, not humans, yet the jews took the law in their hands and said: "In the name of God, I punish you"

I think God is quite capable of that Godself. But the jews insisted on acting as God.

How is it possible for a God to be a lawbreaker? God makes the laws. And can change them anytime He wants to.
So what ? So congressmen do. Making a law and breaking it yourself is bad government-practice.

Of motion laws of gravity laws of physics if any of these physical laws are broken than chaos and destruction will happen.
'Laws of nature' are falsifiable statements about nature. You cannot 'break' them, you can only falsify them, that is show they were not 'laws' after all. It is very unfortunate that they are called laws, this terminology counts for lots of misunderstandings.
Quote:
If we don't fully understand the spiritual laws, how can we know if Jesus followed them or not?
No idea what 'spiritual laws' are suppposed to be. In order be significant however a law needs to be known and understood by those who are subject to it.

Not always,it may depend on what you are looking for and how long you have to look for it.If you are looking for something that does not exist create it or you will be looking for a long time.

Knock and it shall be opened

It looks like Jesus never was a door to door salesman in todays world.
