Ohiograce^ View Profile History	Rushdoony and "judaizing christian nationalism" Posted : 27 Jan, 2023 11:00 AM There are all kinds of "judaizing christians." Some want to keep the sabbath and the food laws. Some, like Rushdoony, want to physically punish people for their sins. There isn't one bit of difference between Rushdoony's view and the Inquisition. Augustine would be proud. the following has nothing to do with the gospel of the grace of God. "In the magisterial, 619-page explication of Reconstructionist theonomy (Theonomy in Christian Ethics), Greg Bahnsen argues that Old Testament Law applies today in “exhaustive” and “minutial” detail. “Every single stroke of the law must be seen by the Christian as applicable to this very age between the advents of Christ.” Reformed Christians understand law as a compatible servant of the gospel and look for the enduringly valid, underlying moral purposes of Old Testament Law. But Reconstructionists take this several steps further. While they believe Christ’s coming altered ceremonial law, ending the need for animal sacrifice, they do not see ancient Israel as a unique theocratic state. It is a “blueprint” for the theocracy all nations should be. And that leads to the most controversial feature of Reconstruction. Rushdoony, Bahnsen, and their peers anticipate a day when Christians will govern, using the Old Testament as their lawbook. True to the letter of Old Testament Law, homosexuals, incorrigible children, adulterers, blasphemers, astrologers, and others will be executed." https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1987/february-20/democracy-as-heresy.html Post Reply

Because if he did he would be charged with premeditated first degree homicides. The neo Sadducees and Pharisees of our time are completely hypocritical imposing burdensome stumbling blocks that they don't lift a finger for Paul warned in Galatians 2:21 that these religious hypocrites nullify Grace by attempting to keep everybody under the laws Post Reply

May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. 22 But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.” 1 Corinthians 9:20–21, “To the Jews I became as a Jew so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

Please have your quotes ready—because I’ll have mine Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Rushdoony and "judaizing christian nationalism" Posted : 28 Jan, 2023 08:12 PM Specifically I want to know if you would agree that God was right, under Old Testament law, to have “homosexuals, incorrigible children, adulterers, blasphemers, astrologers, and others executed." Or, was God wrong? Post Reply
