Episode notes
Judicial Laws Are The Theonomist Flashpoint
- Scott Clark distinguishes moral, ceremonial, and judicial laws and locates the controversy around the judicial laws' status after Christ's death.
- He argues the theonomists seek reimposition of Mosaic judicial laws despite Westminster Confession 19.4 saying they expired with Israel's state.
General Equity Means Natural Law Not Mosaic Detail
- Clark explains 'general equity' in the Confession refers to natural or creational law, not blanket judicial continuity.
- He calls attempts to mix theonomy with natural law a contradictory 'natural law theonomist' label and rhetorical bamboozle.
Secular Describes The Present Age Not Hostility
- Clark distinguishes secular (this age) from secularism (rival religion) and locates Christians living in the penultimate age between Christ's work and return.
- He uses Paul and Calvin to justify a twofold kingdom: civil and spiritual spheres.
