@@sweetsue6177 Hi Sweet Sue, In the Sweater Vest Dialogue, I noted on numerous occasions how both Dr. White and Dr. Wilson noted how some passages would require careful interpretation. Once that is complete, both discussed how God's Law would be made part and parcel of the judicial system of government. Nevertheless, in one "Dividing Line" years ago, Dr. White initially opposed for a theocracy, asking, for example, whern that system was in tact, there was a "High Priest, but where is the High Priest?" Reported crimes in the Bible, according to Dr. White's exegesis of the Old Testament, required a High Priest to assess the legitemacy of the reports; however, as Dr. White also admitted, "Jesus is now our High Priest and our Intercessor." Logically, this means any "High Priest" crimes are brought in a post-Ressurection context implies the allowability of an "Alter Cristu," or another Christ, the same Roman Catholic dotrine Dr. White rails against. I believe both speakers are good-hearted and loving individuals, but miss the point of penology, which, Dr. White once admits in the past, demonstrates a need for a Savior. In order to lend credence to my former sentence, I direct you to the following video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5yBiaV3p7mlqnU.html God Bless You! QP

This was a very valuable discussion. Too often today many Christians are being taught that the Old Testament has been put away, quoting Jesus, "I have fulfilled the Law." And yet what else did Jesus teach? Well, he taught His disciples to uphold the Law. So which is it? But, this is a false choice as Jesus was not saying that the Law was done and there was no longer any use for the Law. No, He was saying that He had completed the requirements of the Law, the penalty of the Law. He would be that perfect sacrifice specified by and required by the Law to receive the punishment for transgressing the Law for the remission of sins. The Law is the embodiment of God's holiness, justice, and love. The Law must be cherished as the God breathed Word that it is as part of, precursor to, and buttress for the New Testament. The Old and New Testaments are integral to and of each other, indivisible, pure, and whole and reflective of the mind and will of God. Dr. White and Pastor Wilson clearly and with astonishing simplicity declared this true truth from the rooftops. May God richly bless these two men of His Word and bless us with many more years of their service to Christians everywhere! Maranatha!

Hi Jack Uber, Personally, I think the gay community would be much more comfortable with Reformed Christians who speak to them about how the Holy Spirit convicts and saves than a person who, while sharing the Gospel with gays, speaks of a governmental system with a penology innundated with exile and death penalty penologies that will drive them away! Back in the day, even Dr. White admitted that Christian Reconstrutionists quibbled over what did and what did not constitute appropriate punishment. Also, when the Bible says that we "turn aside" neither one way nor another when dealing with God's Law, it means precisely that. As Dr. White once asked in his pre-Christian Reconstructionist days, "Where are the High Priests?" For a refutation of the position expressed in this video, see www.reformedreader.org/rbs/tarba.htm God Bless You!' QP

@@QuotidianPerfection Though I cannot be certain of your true intentions with your response, I believe I may reasonably make the following inference. It appears that as many others before you, you have accepted and legitimized a community centered around a specific sin. Though it has been asked by many others before me, still I must ask would you be as accepting of a community centered on another sin -- say the thief community, the rapist community, or the murderer's community? That asside, you also advise a softening of the message, perhaps not even mentioning the problem. But, this also begs the question of would you not fervently warn a fellow image bearer that he was about to eat poison, fall in a pit, be attacked by an animal, or succumb to some other imminent threat? Is not dying in unrepentant sin and suffering an eternity of unremitting punishment not just as urgent, not just as imminent, and not just as paramount to a fellow image bearer's existence? How terribly unloving and cruel and sadistic and hateful would I be if I did not most fervently, lovingly, and forthrightly proclaimed their sin to them with the offer and promise of forgiveness and salvation provided through Christ's perfect life, perfect sacrifice, and perfect resurrection unto true and everlasting perfection in Him? You ask far too, too much. May our most holy, heavenly Father bless you with His mercy, His grace, and His wisdom through Christ Jesus.

@@jackuber7358 Dear Jack Uber, Thanks for the prompt response. I will reply as carefully as I can. You wrote: "It appears that as many others before you, you have accepted and legitimized a community centered around a specific sin." I think the term "legitimize" ought to be defined very carefully. If legitimizing sin means that breaking God's commandments, even the smallest one, necessitates divine retribution, then it is inaccurate to make such a statement, since James 2:10 points out that even the smallest transgressors, unless saved by the Lamb of God, will be sentenced to an eterniy in their Hell for their misdeeds. If legitimizing sin means reconstructing governments to align them with the Mosaic Civil Code, that's a different issue altogether. As Dr.White points out on his "Dividing Line," God, in the end, will judge, "so no one will escape justice. I think Dr. White is inconsistent, though, by railing against those who seek to overthrow the United States Constitution--something he is seeking to do himself! Anyhow, I believe all Scripture is God-breathed but the penalology for theocratic Israel does not have to be followed by governements today. I will expand my argument as I address your other concerns. You wrote: "Though it has been asked by many others before me, still I must ask would you be as accepting of a community centered on another sin -- say the thief community, the rapist community, or the murderer's community?" Let me say that every sinner requires grace--that is the message of the Gospel--or else he or she will suffer fiery punishment in the hereafter forever. You should remember, too, that, in the New Testament, Jesus talks of "greater sins" and "lesser sins." In the United States, the majority of states believe that those who commit premeditated murder are eligible for death by lethal injection. Those who steal from others, and are caughy, have their freedom and some of their rights suspended temporarily up until they serve enough time to repay for their wrongdoing. Rapists are given lengthy sentences because of the lifelong trauma their acts cause other people--and, in the event that a rapist kills a victim in the act, some individuals believe that individual should receive the death penalty. While transgressions, such as adultery, are also offensive to God and His sense of justice, authenticating them would involve a potential to invade everyone's privacy--and everyone would be in a frenzy. Nevertheless, such persons would still 1) not escape Chruch discipline if a Christian nor 2) judgment, as Dr. White says about all Biblical infractions, in the hereafter. God's mechanism for punishing wrongoing seems, therefore, to be Chruch discipline and Judgment, rather than exhaustive secular penologies. "But, this also begs the question of would you not fervently warn a fellow image bearer that he was about to eat poison, fall in a pit, be attacked by an animal, or succumb to some other imminent threat?" Of course I would! However, I think these are moral concerns, which have wider reaching implications than setting up a government based on theocratic Israel. In order for a theonomic system to work as it did in theocratic Israel, again, the law needs to be followed to the letter. Also, people need to be brought before a High Priest--the Levites were in charge in this task. However, since Jesus is our High Priest, how, as Dr. White once asked, can this system be executed? God is very clear how exact this system needed to be when intact: people were executed for "strange fires!" "Is not dying in unrepentant sin and suffering an eternity of unremitting punishment not just as urgent, not just as imminent, and not just as paramount to a fellow image bearer's existence?" Yes. All retrobates need grace. Nevertheless, there are many Bible-believing Cristians who think the same thing who are not Chrustian Reconstructionists. I think the amount of argumentation that goes on between the Cohristian Reconstructionist movement--and even those who oppose it--demonstrates that it is not a Gospel issue. I think that the New Testament stresses the importance of recognizing one's transgressions and subsequent need for salvation far more than it emphasizes the importance of establishing a theocracy. "How terribly unloving and cruel and sadistic and hateful would I be if I did not most fervently, lovingly, and forthrightly proclaimed their sin to them with the offer and promise of forgiveness and salvation provided through Christ's perfect life, perfect sacrifice, and perfect resurrection unto true and everlasting perfection in Him?" Wow! I must commend you on your eloquence both in writing and in rhetoric. And, to be sincere, I agree with that statement completely. What I'm saying is this--we have no epistemic warrant to move from contingency to non-contingency where theocratic matters are concerned and also that such a move may scare adulterers away from Christians for fear that they might be executed under a theocratic reign. The best thing to do is to allow God to execute justice. There are plenty of Christian scholars who disagree with reinstating the Civil Code and I can provide you links to such material if you choose. My personal experience is talk of theocratic states tends, at time, to divide the elect, and we should be more concerned about the Gospel than a specific type of penury system which is, as some interpret it (and I agree with them)--used to show the seriousness and degrees of disobeying God, and our need to return to Him and His Word. God Bless You! QP

If more ministers were like Doug and James I can only imagine how much more vital the Christians and their Christian culture would be. Much of the unrest going on in our culture would be answered or addressed if we applied God’s Law, but too many Christians feel like God’s Law is abrogated and Republican principals of governing and economics is the only thing to keep this country great. Thus, vote Republican and be a good, moral person and pray God either turns this country around or He’ll be here soon to Rapture us all away from the mess we’ve been making for generations not teaching and discipling from all of Scripture.

@@gregb6469 - Stand for the convictions of your faith and the ethics that it is calling you to. If neither party fits the bill then don't vote for them. If the partial party wants your vote next election they'll take your ethical and moral values into consideration. However, if you keep giving them your vote to simply beat the "anti-God Leftists" every single election then they already have your vote and they aren't going to change. Vote locally, perhaps run locally or get behind someone you know is morally and ethically fit for duty in your local area and put them in place. Change your home scene and stop pandering to the Federal elections and offices as though they are the only thing that matters. Vote third party on the major elections until the "right" party takes your missing vote seriously and begin to once again pander and pursue your vote by actually taking on your values. All the while you're boosting the third party vote and maybe just maybe those numbers begin to go up and more and more people see a third party as a viable option. Don't worry about the immediate election as though it is the "most important election" but be patient and play the long game. Simply ask yourself what are the values of the right? Are they conserving those values or are they simply one or two steps behind the left? What fiscal principals do they actually have? To simply spend less than the left would have liked? That's not fiscally sound.

I've found it useful to think of the law as a pointillist self portrait done by the Creator. The law shows us who God is as much as it tells us what He commands. They wind up being the same thing. This is profoundly true if you think through what it means to be an image of God. The law reveals God's character to those whose purpose is to bear His image in the world.

The issue isn't whether on this side of Christ's cross the people who are united to Christ in faith (necessarily excluding 'covenant children' on the basis of their being born to parents who have faith rather than their own receipt of grace whereby they express their own possession of faith) do not have and are not under law. It's what law or system of law it is that they're under. And it is Paul and the writer of Hebrews that tell us it ain't the Law of Moses, which however we might wanna divide it over 3 aspects of moral, civil, and ceremonial comes as a package deal over which God demanded obedience to every single one so that all 613 stipulations are moral- and never mind that that Law was ever given only to Israel for covenant life from which the rest of the world was cut off, and yet the rest of the world was still under condemnation for being under another law that they've broken in Adam. Rather, it's the law prophesied by Jeremiah that God will write in the hearts and minds of His people, and this has been revealed to be the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, which is no legal system but a work of the Spirit that transfers one from death to life and progressively conforms the person to the image of Christ, to which conformity we were given a new set of commands that are revealed in the whole body of New Testament Scripture, far more difficult to obey than the Law of Moses so that they are impossible to obey if it weren't that God is the one who secures and guarantees obedience in the regeneration and sanctifying work He does upon a person. That said, I would welcome theonomy of the Covenant Theology variety as the new law for the US, because this Constitution is an abysmal failure in securing our rights, liberties, and sustaining righteousness...so long as we are not killed for holding to a baptist view of expressing the sign of the covenant, and we can freely work on Sundays and Saturdays as we want or need.

Refreshing to finally hear fellow Evangelical theologians treat the law positively. A step in the right direction. Gentlemen, I have several comments. They require more side by I'll be as succinct as possible. First I'd like to say that from Matt 5:17, it's clear that Christ did not do away with the law in any reason. If Jesus said "I did not come to do away with the law" it follows that "I came to fulfill the law" cannot be made to signify that he did away with the law or any part of it. Furthermore, from the record of Acts, the Apostles never abandoned their ceremonial duties. They kept the feasts, they fulfilled vows as prescribed, etc... This they did for 40 years with no sense of conflict with the Gospel. Secondly, even though they themselves kept law and the traditions, they did not require the gentile believers to be yoked to the law as they were. Yet Paul's instruction for gentile believers is taken directly from the law. In fact one can find nine of the ten commandments being laid upon gentile believers. Interestingly, the only Sabbath based teaching occurs in an epistle written exclusively to Jews (Hebrews). Thirdly, I think the apostles saw their teaching as "fulfilling the law" as they used a measure of application appropriate to each class of believer. For Paul, requiring circumcision for Gentile believers would be "abrogating the law".

That we are under grace and not under law is as true as we get anything from Scripture. It's an error to take from this that being under grace means there is no law for believers to follow. It's just as erroneous however to read the whole counsel of OT and NT scripture and think that it's the Law of Moses that binds the believer when Paul's writings and Hebrews militantly contradict that assertion. Believers are under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, which is not a legal system but the new life that begins at regeneration and continues in progressive sanctification by the Spirit. And what is directly prescriptive towards this sanctification is the new set of commands given to us in the whole of the NT writings, while the old Law- which has been done away with because the covenant in which the Law was its covenant terms and stipulations had become obsolete with the institution of the new covenant that fulfills Jeremiah's prophesy- remains instructive to us over the holiness of God and the nature of our evil that just our very exposure to the commandments in the Law can and does arouse us to violate the Law wherever we are inclined so that the remedy that saves us involves being free from that system of Law.

Totah is not Laws do to, No Temple here on earth. We are to Torah, keep it in our Hearts as wittnessed over and over again. ECC 12 13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: FEAR GOD and KEEP His COMMANDMENTS, because this is the WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. 1 tim 1:5 Now the PURPOSE of the COMMANDMENTS is LOVE from a pure HEART, from a good conscience, and from SINCERE faith, Duet 30 10 if you OBEY the LORD your God and keep his COMMANDS and DECREES that are written in this Book of the Torah/Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your HEART and with all your SOUL. Proverbs 3 3 Let know LOVING commitment ant TRUTH forsake you-bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your HEART. 2 cor 3 3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ DELIVERED by us, written not with ink but with the SPIRIT of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human HEARTS. Ezekiel 11 19-20 And I will give them one HEART, and a NEW SPIRIT I will put within them. I will remove the HEART of stone from their flesh and give them a HEART of flesh, that they may walk in "my statutes" and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my "PEOPLES", and I will be their God. Jer 31 33 But this is the COVENANT that I will make with the HOUSE of ISRAEL after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my TORAH within them, and I will write it on their HEARTS. And I will be their God, and they shall be my PEOPLES Hebrews 10 16 This is the COVENANT I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my TORAH/ law in their HEARTS, and I will write them on their MINDS.” Daniel 7 28 Hitherto is the END OF THE MATTER. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I KEPT the MATTER in my HEART Eph 6:6 - not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as BONDSERVANTS of Christ, doing the WILL of God from the HEART, Isaiah 56 6-7 And FOREIGNERS who bind themselves to the LORD to minister to him, to LOVE the name of the LORD, and to be his SERVANTS, all who KEEP the SABBITH without desecrating it and who hold fast to my COVENANT - these I will bring to my HOLY mountain and give them joy in my HOUSE of prayer.

@Brad Bowers Oh, really? I'm willing to bet that Pastor Wilson would agree with RC Sproul and other like-minded theologians that all laws have moral implications. Therefore all of the dietary laws in the OT would need to be obeyed morally because choosing to ignore them would break the first two commandments. Yet, in Acts chapter 10 we have the Lord tell Peter to eat animals that would be "unclean" or "common" under the Mosaic law. The concept of keeping the law is the same, but what counts as immoral did in fact change.

@Brad Bowers Alright, just so we are clear. I am not encouraging immoral behavior. I agree that there is a clearly defined morality that is stated in both testaments. The contention that usually arises is where the line is drawn from the Old Testament to the New. (I also haven't seen this video in two months. I might have forgotten the whole context of my comment.) It seems to me that many Christians who subscribe to covenant theology/post-milennial eschatology pick and choose when to say that the OT law is a guide book and when it no longer matters. To the Israelite who was given the covenant at Mt Sinai it was all or nothing.

The moral law is 10 commandments which Jesus and the rich man recited to Jesus yet loved his riches too much therefore he was committing the sin of idolatry and loving his riches more than the first commandment and wasn't aware of it. Ceremonial laws are in Leviticus - hand washing, etc which Pharisees accused Jesus' disciples of not doing. Not for cleanliness but Pharisees did over and over plus they made up some more. Moral law includes Matthes 5-7 where Jesus took us "higher" - such as "even lusting a woman in your heart is adultery." This doesn't mean "noticing a nice looking woman" it is a longer looking gaze and thoughts such as David did with Bathsheba which led to having sex with her, her getting pregnant, calling her husband home from war, and ultimately having him killed. This lust of heart leads to more and more sin. The ceremonial law was for the Jews. Moral laws are for us all. Study Matthew 5-7. Study New Testament. The 10 commandments are covered in there. I hope this helps. Btw, Jesus is throughout the Old Testament. I bought a Bible on Amazon that shows me all passages related to Jesus and was fulfilled in New Testament. Also, although he's not reformed, Mike Winger does a great study called "Finding Jesus in the Old Testament." Look his name and that title up on KZfaq on Google. It is like a Scarlet Thread starting in Genesis 3:15. It is so exciting to find Jesus, and see him in the Old Testament. He is there. Everywhere. It is so exciting and makes the Old Testament so exciting. I'd love Dr. White to do a study with the Hebrew roots. Okay, I'm done. I hope that helps. God bless you!

I went into the messianic movement because the modern church's explaination of the Law seemed to come with a hand wave and it didn't seem right considering how God and Jesus spoke of it. That uninformed assertion pushes people towards works-based theologies that threaten the sufficiency of the sacrifice of the savior. The law still applies because it is His. Grace applies over that through the blood of Christ and as His followers we should study the Law; because if you don't understand what it illustrated you're likely to dismiss it entirely as somehow null and void.

A lot of the problems are with the penal law. The death penalty was related to the sacrificial system. If someone was deemed to have committed an offence with a high hand he had no sacrifice and therefore could be open to the death penalty (cf. Numbers 15:30 and surrounding verses). Also, someone could be cleared of suspicion of blood guiltiness not with the death of an animal, but with the death of the High Priest (Numbers 35:28 ) Double or more than double reparation and restoration for many offences and the death penalty for murder is much more straightforward.

How does this pertain to acts 15 and the 'Jerusalem Council'? The question is asked, do the Gentiles need to follow the law of moses? The assumption being that the Jewish converts are already following the law. You would not ask whether the gentiles need to follow the law, unless the Jewish converts were already following it. Also, in acts 21, Paul is instructed by James to show all the people that he is still following the law by partaking in a Nazirite ceremony. How can it be that the ceremonies and sacrifices of the law have been abrogated, yet Christians in those early days are apparently still following them?

What do you think about this: I would appeal to the law of love, as given us by Christ and his apostles, not to a general equity from the Law. the parapet and lawnmower examples would elicit the same response from a Christian from applying the NT teachings alone. since the law is teaching us how to love, the teachings of the NT will comport. And how to divide up the law into those 3 parts falls under the same category for me - who is the authority to tell me which is which, and what is the continuous part? I'll read the teachings of Christ and His apostles to tell me. I suppose this is generally a new covenant understanding.

2Pet 3:16’s author (possibly other than Peter) tells us that he, Peter, knows of multiple Pauline letters to the Church- (possibly Corinth, Rome, Ephesus- total number known to Peter not mentioned here) and is exhorting the faithful to whom Peter is writing, (likely the Church in Asia Minor) not to be deceived by what Paul specifically wrote to them- because Peter knows that some of what Paul writes is hard to understand. Peter is writing to this specific group at this specific time about what Paul wrote specifically to them and warning them. (Any assertion that he or any NT author is writing for an audience beyond those to whom he is addressing is eisogesis - and a reading ‘into the text’ something that is not there. In the second half of the verse, he exhorts the ‘scoffers’ and ignorant not to distort Paul’s writing to their own destruction- “as they do other scriptures”. Present tense ‘do distort’ in verse 16 means that they are currently distorting scripture- there is no evidence that this audience has any other writings this side of revelation, beyond that which Paul wrote them- And since we know that they ‘do distort’ scripture, it can only logically follow that Peter is speaking of OT scripture. We know this because 2Pet predates the determination of the NT canon- the decided list of books that make up the NT scriptures. Any ‘futuristic’ gymnastics to say these writings were pre-determined is a reading into the text what is not there and a tradition with a small t.

@@marlam8625 Ah, now I see. Apostles and their writings are not inspired, but rather helpful whims and commentary on the Old Testament. Paul taught Timothy that only revelation from the Old Testament is inspired to equip the man of God for every good work. This begs the question of course because from your interpretation this means that 2 Timothy 3:16 is at best a tradition of man. And from what you just argued to assume that it has any authority or is written to you and me would be eisegesis. That is quite the assumption and self-refuting. Of course 2 Peter came from Peter. Coming from your perspective, I could see why you would ignore 2 Peter 1:1-2 as inspired and go at it from a liberal theological approach. From the way you are arguing, I would assume you might lean Hebrew Roots, and I assure you, liberal theologians do not agree with anything you stand for. You are like the Muslim who quotes Dr. Bart Ehrman to score points on a debate against Christianity. If they are twisting Paul's words as they do the rest of Scripture it follows that Pauline Epistles are Scripture. I need you to actually engage with this instead of presenting what you think logically follows. It does not. I will allow the readers of this rabbit hole to decide.

Much good things to take away here, but I think there is some confusion or lack of clarity on what it means to be under grace. The New Testament writers wrote about the law in a different sense than the Old. Paul explain the meaning of the law in our age , we don’t have to make up things just follow Paul reasoning in Romans and his others letters.
