Moffatt renders verse 5, "I demolish theories and any rampart thrown up to resist the knowledge of God, I take every project prisoner to make it obey Christ." St. Paul was talking about the cultural mandate. Before the fall, the task was less complicated. Now man needs regeneration. [B]Thus, the [I]first[/I] step in the mandate is to bring men the word of God and for God to regenerate them. The [I]second[/I] step is to demolish every kind of rampart or opposition to the dominion of God in Christ. The world and men must be brought into captivity to Christ, under the dominion of the Kingdom of God and the law of that kingdom. [I]Third[/I], this requires that, like Paul, we court-martial or "administer justice upon all disobedience" in every area of life where we encounter it. [/B]To deny the cultural mandate is to deny Christ and to surrender the world to the devil. R.J. Rushdoony, The Institutes of Biblical Law ( [/QUOTE]
