Here’s What Happens When You Reject Theonomy

This Amburgy guy says we’re not under the Old Testament law, so we don’t have to worry about that. He’s read the Bible dozens of times, and he had an exact count. Yet just reading it hasn’t seemed to help him very much. If you reject theonomy, this is the kind of stupid stuff you end up saying.

He says that in Islamic countries, it is just to cut off a thief’s hand! I have no idea what to say. Is justice different in Muslim countries? Why would justice change from place to place? God’s throne is built on righteousness and justice, but he doesn’t really care what justice is on earth? What a stupid thing to say.

Maybe he needs to read the Bible several dozen more times.

And to think that a theonomist who wants to apply God’s perfect law to society is saying that our salvation is anything but a free gift is silly.

I’ve yet to hear a good argument against theonomy that doesn’t eventually lead to some sort of abject stupidity. It was just much easier to get out of Glenn than it is out of most other people.
