I would still agree in principle that the laws of our land should be based on Scripture and not the ideas of man. IOW, I would agree with what the Westminster Confession states on this issue such as in Chapter 19.<br /><br />I would no longer describe myself as a Theonomist as those that do are a) quite splintered in how they would carry out theonomy, b) are often arrogant and self-righteous (I say this with all do respect to these folks as many are quite learned and I do belive that they are Christians), c) they focus far too much on the politcal aspects of issues today rather than taking a Scriptural stance and d) it is putting the cart before the horse today as Theonomy will never work until there is an out-pouring of the Holy Sprit in this country.<br /><br />BTW, it was not me who was kicked off the Puritanboard. I have never been a member. It was Daniel Ritchie, who is the author of the ReformedCovenanter blog, that was removed from that discussion board.Reformed Renegadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649738389237095011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103362054168967459.post-38351794439571272452009-08-13T09:45:22.791-04:002009-08-13T09:45:22.791-04:00"The Gospel According to Jesus" was prob..."The Gospel According to Jesus" was probably one of the first books that made me aware of historical theology as a category and that was the beginning of the end. Hodges "Systematic Theology in 3 Vols" was the watershed.<br /><br />KABAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103362054168967459.post-46296845535178334722009-08-12T23:07:38.714-04:002009-08-12T23:07:38.714-04:00Hi, I'm looking into Theonomy and saw that you...Hi, I'm looking into Theonomy and saw that you are a former believer of the doctrine. You made the statement on some guy's blog about being kicked off the Puritanboard.<br /><br />What was it that convinced you that Theonomy is no longer a valid doctrine?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103362054168967459.post-34967547210447372092009-07-08T02:07:03.555-04:002009-07-08T02:07:03.555-04:00Hi Russ,

C Sproul's books also lead me to study systematic reformed theology. <br />Shalom<br />StephenStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043886776042264298noreply@blogger.com
