Why Ask Human Law?

If Sunday is of God, why ask human help? If it has divine law back of it, why ask for human law? It is a purely religious matter, a matter between man and his God. Why not compel men by law to observe the Lord’s Supper or be baptized? One is as logical as the other. There is always room to doubt the scripturalness of a religious duty when it needs human law to support it. If Sunday is of God it can not be overthrown; while on the other hand Jesus says, “Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.” And no human law will support a false dogma or institution when blow the winds of God.
