God's Law

Every person is secure in his possessions and property, and there is no special class of government thugs entitled to steal with impunity. Any forfeiture or penalty must be the result of a court verdict, issued on specific crime, where a specific private victim complained and sued. The government has no right to confiscate any private property against the will of the owner for no reason whatsoever, whether by taxes, penalties, or eminent domain.

Man's Law

Any government thug has the legal right to steal a private individual’s money (civil forfeiture, fines), time (traffic stops, bureaucratic red tape), or property (eminent domain) with no option for restitution to the victim. But what do I know, theonomy is “tyranny,” and we are much better off under the laws of men.

God's Law

The land is owned by the families, and the decisions concerning the property are solely in the hands of the family owning the property, not the civil government.

Man's Law

The government is the supreme owner of the land, legislating and regulating the use of private property as the bureaucrats see fit, while also forcing the owners to pay rent (property tax) or face punitive action and/or confiscation.
