Comment: The "law of liberty" is a Biblical principle, thus, so is the statue of liberty... No matter who sets claim on this monument the truth remains self evident.
Funny thing about that Biblical 'law of liberty', it was completely ignored by generations of Christians as they enslaved millions of blacks, subjugated the Jews into ghettos (or just murdered them), used the same Bible to starve the Irish almost out of existence and decimate the Native American tribes of North AND South America ----- and prevent first, unpropertied men from having the vote and then, until the turn of the previous century -within the memories of some of the mothers of the women on this forum-, any woman from fully participating in her liberty.
Christian Law of Liberty only as long as Christ is king, buddy.

Now it seems you and I are thinking along the same lines..
And yes one must wear the mind of Christ (who walked in this law of liberty) in order for the law of liberty to rule the deeds of the Christian...
So these who profess to be Christians who persecute other against the perfect law of liberty are false to the heart of Christ and the one true God... They may spiritually be saved but their mind has resorted back to the law...
Matthew 15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men [law].
Comment: This is why the stature of liberty is such a great monument to Christ's doctrine when seen in the right light.
Two thousand years ago they had it right

Galatains 3:28

neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Comment: Even today the battle of the sexes rages on against the perfect law of liberty and the will of the true God of love...
