All Those Biblical Laws

The Chalcedon Foundation - Faith for All Life:

My father (R. J. Rushdoony) often referred to the rabbinical count of 613 laws in Scripture. His point was not whether this was an accurate count, but the small quantity of Biblical laws. Moreover, many of these laws had no civil or ecclesiastical penalty attached. The most obvious example of this is the tithe that had no provision for enforcement. Biblical laws involve a very limited role for civil and ecclesiastical governments to enforce them. That does not mean those laws without penalty were not binding, only that their enforcement was a personal responsibility, an exercise of personal faithfulness.

Doug Wilson on sola fide

BLOG and MABLOG: "Believing the doctrine of justification by faith alone as a way of being justified is a fine way of actually denying the doctrine of justification by faith alone. We are not saved by works -- ethical or theological. We are not saved because we got better than a ninety on the ethics quiz, or over a ninety-five on the justification section of the theology exam." - Doug Wilson dlr

In my remarks, I indicated that, as measured by the size of the Federal budget in non-defense areas, George W. Bush is the most liberal President in American history.

One Absolute, Unchanging God

…a second principle of the Shema Israel: one absolute, unchanging God means one absolute, unchanging law. Men’s social application and approximations of the righteousness of God may alter, vary, and waver, but the absolute law does not. To speak of the law as “for Israel” but not for Christians is not only to abandon the law but also to abandon the God of the law. Since there is only one true God, and His law is the expression of His unchanging nature and righteousness, then to abandon the Biblical law for another law-system is to change gods. The moral collapse of Christendom is a product of this current process of changing gods. – R. J. Rushdoony
