There is no such thing as a constructive force which is not sin or injustice. Even though some police force is sometimes necessary, it is a trade-off of a small amount of injustice to prevent a larger amount of injustice under the extreme conditions of injustice which satan creates in controlling the world. The very important point here is that there is all the difference in the world between a small amount of injustice being necessary and it being virtue. If it is virtue, then the sky is the limit. If it is a trade-off, then it needs to be minimized and limited to extreme conditions rather than normalized.

Perhaps even more important than limiting the injustice is not allowing the meaning of morality to be altered. If some injustice is necessary as police force, and it is called virtue, then force becomes virtue instead of sin throughout morality. Force never is virtue, and the need for police force does not make force virtue.

Where this point becomes extremely important is in the rationalization of coercion and intimidation. There is a very high tendency to promote coercion and intimidation in the world, and it is often portrayed as virtue or a necessary solution to problems. It never is.

Even in Christianity, coercion and intimidation are often portrayed as faith, which shifts allegiance from God to satan. How do people know whether it is God or satan creating some influence in their lives? When they get coercion and intimidation mixed up with faith, they are following satan instead of God.

The opposite of coercion and intimidation is subservience. Christ taught subservience, not just the nobodies serving those above them, but the somebodies serving the nobodies. This is because coercion and intimidation is how power is controlled, and subservience is how it is overcome.

Christ said, "Let the greater among your be as the junior, the leader as the servant...I am in your midst as the one who serves you" (Luke 22:26,27)(Mat 20:25-28).

He used this philosophy to correct erroneous assumptions about faith (Luke 17:5-10). When he was asked by the apostles to increase their faith, he said that instead of ordering a servant to do something, the master should be helpful to the servant. He described subservience as faith and domination as not faith.

The importance of this point is always missed. In the world, including Christianity, people assume that faith is subservience to a higher master. Was not Abraham's faith subservience to a point of killing his child for God? Guess what. That standard of faith is what God was correcting. The demons taught people through rituals of sacrifice, often including killing their children on an altar, to show allegiance to themselves.

Coercion and intimidation create the religion of sacrifice. People don't kill their kids on an altar without coercion and intimidation.

After Abraham's worldly version of faith was demonstrated, God proceeded to correct it, which in fact was the purpose of the next two thousand years of his religion. From the time of Abraham to the time of Christ, people were being taught how to replace the religion of the demons based on sacrifice with a religion based on morality. Christ then taught the basic principles of morality, where real faith is the leaders being subservient to the slaves.

In Hebrews 11:1, faith is described as confident assurance in what is hoped for. Does a slave have confident assurance in the master who dominates him? Or does he have confident assurance in the master who helps him? Eventually, the slaves will find a way to get out from under the dominating masters, because their needs are never met through domination. People are destroyed by dominating controllers, not supported by them.
