Theonomy Thread

Todd Bordow, quoting OPC pastor Meredith Kline: “Their special thesis is that the Mosaic Law, more or less in its entirety, constitutes a continuing norm for mankind, and that it is the duty of the civil magistrate to enforce it, precepts & penalties alike”

Kline on Theonomy (continued):

“The law, even the civil penalties, were given as examples of what is righteousness in a nation. And so apply not only uniquely to Israel but also apply to every nation, then and today.”

Kline also: Theonomy is the opposite error of Dispensationalism. Dispensationalists don’t see *enough* continuity between the Old and New Testaments, and Theonomy sees *too much* continuity.

Kline: Bahnsen makes an appeal to the Westminster confession. However, Theonomists have completely & foundationally misread the entire Bible, which puts them outside of the orthodoxy contained in the WCF with respect to the appeal Theonomists make to General Equity (WCF 19.4)
