While secular it has had more Biblical laws than it now does. Since Christians are active, what is their standard for their legislative input? That was part of the theonomic question. Although much of "Judaic" law was indeed "Judaic" since it was both religious and civil/criminal, calling it all...

Agreed re: postmil roots and one's eschatology certainly is part of his thinking structure. But irrespective IMO they ask one of the most valid questions I've ever encountered - By What Standard? - and it does not involve my eschatological thinking. For me it's a more simple and basic question...

A proper theonomic approach recognizes wisdom in dealing with cultures Matt19:8. I guess if you set aside rhetoric and delete my question mark such a question becomes reasonable. We're not remaining on the same page. A problem with brevity at times. I was referring to minimum prosecution to...

Yes, secular human gov't exists. Theonomy. It is understood that Jesus Christ is in Heaven. No reason to not strive for our best. There are always competing ideas among men. A Theonomic approach? A mature theonomy would think it can place cameras in bedrooms or it would continue to refine...

So, no involvement in legislation and politics and only evangelism?

has always under a theocracy doesn't necessarily represent the Theonomy being discussed by some who began the discussion.

We ambassadors.

Thanks for your definition. Since you're an ambassador, how are we to function to represent His rule? What is His standard for men? I'd probably expand it beyond a prime minister to include any form of "servants" in law - from leaders and legislators to enforcement - the power of the sword and...

I guess I'd expand the question and first ask for your explanation of "The Thearchy". Apart from that, from what I've observed, there was enough humility in some of those I read to know that there was a lot of work to be done to make sure God's Law was correctly understood. I'm not sure this...

What is the quote from? I saw it the first time you posted it. Are you saying this or quoting it from something? Where are you getting your info re: ereō? Did you look at the info from Mounce that I linked? Did you notice he shows eirēken in his concordance for legō? Are you seeing in any of...

See above added highlights. Remind me, what Greek text do you work from? Please lighten up on your statements like the first bold remark above.

And the one you feed is the one that dominates. Vicious cycle.

One last thought I missed before: 14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are...

I'll let BDAG do this for you so it's not me: εἴρηκεν verb indicative perfect active 3rd person singular from λέγω. Re: Heb10, this might be a good resource for you. Bill Mounce wrote the basics of Greek we used in seminary about 20 years ago. Start here to see the parsing of legō, then...

What commandments?

Hebrews1:8.

Since Christ has all authority in Heaven and on earth and Since He rules and reigns pursuant to His New Covenant and His Law, has "morality" changed from what men have become accustomed to since the fall of man? Have we come full circle back to the requirement of the pre-fall era of creation...

It seems the focus should not be on human beings at all but on righteousness and godliness. Romans 1 essentially says God sees a human mind that does not value having Him in knowledge as having no value. This is in line with Jesus Christ loving righteousness and hating lawlessness. But these...

And what would this be?

18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth." (Rev. 11:18 NKJ) I...
