The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Supremacy of God in Human Law

C R, Thanks for your post. It has a lot of meat to it and I kinda lost my focus toward the halfway point. I'll pick up with it later.

I have just some broad brushes on Theonomy. God's Word is our standard and we should be desiring to live according to it every day and in all parts of our life. That being said I see two overarching problems with Theonomists. One is their emphasis on Law over Grace, and the other is emphasising the externals instead of the internals. We are sinners and Theonomists tend to downplay that, especially for those that support their Theonomist views. They tend to cherry-pick the law of God by majoring on many minors instead of focusing on the majors. If you get downright to it, their faith becomes one of grace + works. The works play out in their over emphasing the external at the expense of the internal.
