Theonomy

Theonomy gets a bad press.

But I am indebted to the insights of the fathers of the movement for many insights but believe you cannot take the civil law of Moses and say this all that a state can legislate. We are not civil Israel in our states. Our states are not covenant states even those of us with a Christian establshment of religion like England or Scotland.

Progressive revelation means there are some radical new things in the covenant even for those of us who baptise covenant chlidren.

We are not in agrarian societies. Civil law must progress too.
