For Christians, Christ is the fulfillment of what the nation Israel foreshadowed. He is the Son that was called out of Egypt (Hosea 11:1/Matt 2:15). He is “My Servant Israel” of Isaiah 53. So, using the NT to interpret the OT, if you bless Christ, who is the true Israel and heir of Abraham (Gal 3), you will be blessed. And if you curse Christ you will be cursed.

To be fair, the rise of higher criticism from Europe infected the great seminaries like Princeton in the late 1800s, and along comes a system that promised to return to a time of taking the Bible seriously by focusing on a very literal hermeneutic. Men like DL Moody were fighting a battle, and they were desperate for allies. Not excusing them, but it was clear some powerful forces took advantage of that. (Read Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism for a better way to fight that battle).
To this day, a critique of dispensationalism is received as an attack on the veracity of Scripture. And I have friends who are convinced that if you have a consistently literal interpreation of the Bible, you naturally arrive at dispensationalism. That is a tough conversation to have, even if you trust each other.
I think if they would consistently let the New Testament interpret the Old, you naturally reject the dispensational system.

Great book. Evidential style of apologetics, like Josh McDowell. We should also consider the Presuppositional apologetic, as it takes into account that fallen men purposefully suppress the truth in their unrighteousness. No amount of evidence will convince those that refuse to believe, requires an act of the Spirit. Still, for those that do believe, books like this can be a great help in articulating your belief.

Gal 3 supports those points, as well. It is those who are of the faith of Abraham who are the children of Abraham (v. 7). But the real kicker is that the promises were made to Abraham and his seed, meaning one, who is Christ (v. 16). It is Christ who inherits the promises, and anyone in Him are then Abraham’s offspring. Heirs with Christ according to promise (v. 29). By faith only and not by lineage or blood. Therefore, it is inappropriate for Christians to use Gen 12 (bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you) as justification for supporting the modern state that calls itself Israel. Anyone in Christ by faith, whether Jew or Gentile, is heir to the promises of Abraham. And, more to the point , if Christ as the heir is all that Israel is supposed to be, then you are blessed if you bless Christ, and cursed if you curse Christ.

“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities…and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Is 53:4-6
Who killed Jesus? Ultimately, God did. Using evil men for His purposes. As Acts tells us…
“…your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.” Acts 4:27-28
These were the evil and lawless men of Acts 2:23. “This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.”
We are responsible for our evil, but God’s plans will never be thwarted.

Great article! Thanks. I love my particular baptist forefathers. And yeah, I fully admit Baptists cheated off the WCF to produce the 1689. Pascal Denault wrote The Distinctiveness of Baptist Covenant Theology which makes a good case for a clear line of demarcation between the One Covenant-Two Administrations formula of the WCF, and the progressively revealed and concluded or promise-fulfillment structure of the 1689. Their covenant theology explains the differences in their ecclesiology with their Presbyterian brothers and drove their practice of credobaptism.

I would have to say, yes, like you I have raped and murdered everyone I want to. At least today.
Although not a true text book atheist, I do think I was definitely in the camp of defining my own morality before I was confronted with something far greater. There was absolutely no basis for what I thought was right, just myself, and logically, that makes society itself untenable.
I appreciate the thought experiment, however. The motivation for doing what is right, avoiding what is wrong is important. But if I come to a different conclusion on what is right, could you tell me why your way is actually right?

Gotcha, my mistake. You mentioned Lot’s daughters, I was addressing one of those horrible scenarios where you can see how the city affected their reasoning. Those two girls raping their father came later. Earlier in the story, Lot offering them to be raped was not justified at all. It was wrong and terrible, and violates God’s law regarding how to treat your family. We know that by what the rest of the Bible says. He was a good man trying to live well in a bad place, and made a gross error under stress. Absolutely wrong. But that account paints him warts and all. Not rationalizing his actions, it was stupid and foolish to live there. And To marry your daughters into that culture. Abraham offered his wife to pharaoh, that was wrong. David killed his general to sleep with his wife. Wrong. These were good men but also sinners, warped, and in need of mercy and internal change just like us. We can see their repentance and admission of wrong, but only Christ is good. The way the NT paints it, 2 Pet 2:7 Lot was righteous and distressed by their lawless deeds in Sodom, but he was also responsible for what happened to his family. He is accountable and should have left sooner.

Semantic stop sign…it was not my intent to end constructive thought or reason. When a Christian starts with “God says”, means I am appealing to an external standard, one that exists outside the system you are measuring. That is my point of origin. In order to determine good or bad, you must have an objective standard by which you measure thought or action. You disagree with my starting point, but the argument itself is internally consistent.
I think your main goal is to identify hypocrisy. Understandable. If you can find hypocritical or inconsistent commands of God in the Bible, your point is proven. Which I think was your original point about ham on Easter. But how do you know hypocrisy is wrong? Is it really? where does that come from? The consistent answer I make is that you are made in the image of God. God does not approve of hypocrisy.
Morality being produced by democratic vote or what is pragmatic for that society has produced far more hypocrisy and evil as it changes with the those in power or with the weather. In some societies, child murder was acceptable for worship, even Israel engaged in it, but it is objectively always wrong.
On Satan….According to the Genesis account, Satan deceived the first parents, our representative head, and condemned all succeeding generations to death. Jesus calls him a murder from the beginning. So, no, Satan has far more blood…all that blood on his hands. Killing and causing suffering out of hatred for God and God’s Creation. God provides redemption in Christ. He is just and will punish evil, but provides a way back to Him which shows He is also merciful.
On Lot, Lot was righteous, but also a weak and fooling man to try to lead his family in a terrible environment. Bad call. So affected were his daughters by that city that they thought it was a good idea to get their father stone drunk and date rape him. Their actions produced some horrible enemy nations for Israel, the Moabites and Ammonites. Lot’s foolishness and his daughters’ gross perversion created generational problems. Descriptive not prescriptive. In fact, the story is a warning. Lot was a good man and tried to do good, but made some stupid choices and it really affected his family.
However, there is a note of God’s redemption even in this horrible sin, Ruth the Moabite became a wonderful example of the redemptive love of God. She was in the line of King David and even Christ Himself. God can use even gross sin for noble things.
I am sure you will reference a story I have no answer for, but that would be my failing. Not the Bible’s. I think it would be a far better use of your obviously sharp and introspectional mind to ask why you know hypocrisy is wrong or why you want to be a good father. Is it just what everybody thinks? Is it just what makes society run well?
Well, then who defines what running well looks like? It’s a never-ending subjective black hole.

“Morally repugnant” shows that you have a sense of right and wrong, you know some things are unjust. This is good. You know harming the innocent is wrong. We may disagree on what some of those things are, but you know there is a right and wrong. And frankly, the way you talk about being a good father is something I greatly respect. I try to be, as well.
The Christian response is that God defines what is good. He is that definition. Our morality is subjective, existing within the system. He is objective, existing outside the system He creates. He has power of life and death, not us. He is the offended party, not us.
No, the point of the law is not to just to highlight failure, but it is a mirror to show you what you are really like inside. We are not just broken, we’re selfish and even murderous if pushed. Regarding His children, as the story goes… in the beginning He gave us one rule, and we broke it. He gives us another chance to just live together with a few rules and we end up filling the Earth with violence (Gen 3-8). He creates human government and more rules to stem that violence (Gen 9) and we still kill each other. Maybe we just need an exact system to show us what God requires, hence the 10 Commandments and the Mosaic Law. Add in 600 laws and a detailed case law system with penalties, and still we failed. It’s not the laws, it’s not the amount of laws. Romans 7 tells us the law is good, it’s not the fault of the law. It’s us. We are the problem. Throughout the history in the OT, we get highlighted portraits of those who got that lesson. People who were changed from the inside out. Abraham is one, even with all his problems, his faith was credited to him as being righteous. The New Testament builds on that foundational truth, in Romans 3 through 5, that faith is the only way, and it is then reflected in your actions, chapters 6 through 8.
That is what the coming of Christ shows us, he could do all of that. He lives out that life in us and through us, all the credit goes to Him. He is the standard, and it really does matter what you are like internally…not just on the surface. Who you are inside comes out in your actions. That’s what He meant when He said you will know a tree by its fruits. That’s why his harshest words were for the hypocrite teaches who were like whitewashed tombs, looked good on the outside, but inside had dead men’s bones.
I hope I’ve been clear, but I’m not the standard of righteousness. I am not what God requires. I’m not even close. Christ is. And if your experience with Christians has been one of prideful hypocrisy, or the creation of endless sets of rules to change what only God can change, shame on them.
They have forgotten what they are: Rebellious enemies of God who had unfathomable mercy extended to them. They have been forgiven much, they should live with more grace towards others.

I’ll have to say my favorite character is Grunkle Stan.
I like your questions, and I appreciate you letting me engage on your page. In my original response, I delineated some differences between moral civil and ceremonial law. Each having different purposes. All of which are fulfilled in the coming of Messiah, the Christ, but are applied differently because they have different reasons for being given. Much like the exact rules of the road in England should not apply to France, but the intent of being a safe driver and following the rules to keep those around you safe is universal in both countries. We call it general equity. The moral underpinnings are universal. Acts chapter 10 answers the question why you can eat pork. It’s not about the pork, it’s about the lesson on holiness God was giving to his people in the mosaic covenant, which has been fulfilled in Christ, which means he kept it on our behalf. Acts chapter 10 is about the good news going to Israel first and then to all people everywhere without racial distinction.

That is one of my favorite CS Lewis quotes. And quite true.
The TLDR summary is that from the heart springs the hate that manifests in murder. Or the envy that manifests in theft. Bad actions start from the inside. So, the converse is absolutely Not true that if you meant well the action does not matter. A heart filled with love for others, even your enemies, manifests in objectively good action. In both mercy and justice. If it does not, there’s something wrong inside. And Gods law is how we evaluate those actions.

It’s a fair question, and if I understand you correctly, I think the underlying claim that you are making is that the Christian who claims his morality comes from the Bible but eats ham is inconsistency picking and choosing which ones to follow. This response is not to convert you (not my job) only to the address the claim. For the Christian, the key phrase is “to fulfill them” (the Law and the Prophets). The context of Matt 5-7 is saying this is what people who live in the Kingdom of God should be like. He is saying that you have been told the Law is external, that is, do these things, but it’s actually about the heart behind them. Like stealing, adultery, murder all come from the heart first. This is not new. It has always been that way, even Deut 10:16 talks about not just being circumcised in body, that is a Jew outside, but circumcised in heart, Jewish inside and loving God with all your heart. Deuteronomy 6:4 says the same thing. “Fulfilling the Law” raises it above the outward, restores the intent, and Matt 5-7 shows that we all fall short since our hearts are full of anger, lust, and envy. Jesus as the true Son, the fulfillment of everything Israel should be, keeps that Law meeting the intent which was to love God and love your neighbor (both of which also come from the Law). Those are “moral laws” which transcend time. The civil and ceremonial laws had a place in that OT era and now that Messiah has come, the need for the separateness that kept Israel together has fulfilled its purpose. Gentiles without the Law know murder is wrong. Israel with the Law also knew, but they had a mission to show the world who God is and what He requires. The ceremonial intent behind the not eating pork was to teach about holiness and purity, and to show by those many laws that you cannot possibly keep them all, God is holy and we are not. So, we need one who keeps the Law perfectly, from the heart and maintains the spirit of the law, which is love. Messiah shows that it wasn’t the ham that was the point, the point is that God is holy and you must look to the One who kept the Law for your sake and who paid the penalty you deserve. Acts 10 is a perfect example of eating nonkosher meats is really about bringing the good news to the Gentiles. The New Testament does not abrogate the OT Law but shows the intent that was always there, helps us see how far short we fall, and points us to the One who fulfilled it all. Christ, the Passover Lamb, was delivered to death and paid our penalty, and then raised from the dead showing that we too can have new life. In Christ, is how Christians can be consistent with how these OT laws should be applied.

I am going to have to read that article again. Big words, and I have small brains. Interesting point here….
“But theonomists, like dispensationalists, without biblical warrant impose distinctions within the course of a given historical epoch of an institution, distinctions that result in changing norms of conduct. Thus, it is suggested among theonomists that a demographic shift in a State from an unbeliever to a believer dominant population signalizes a change of norms with respect to the supposed State function of suppressing false religions.”
We’ve often said that the theonomist and the dispensationalist make the same error from different directions. Essentially using the Old Testament to interpret the New. Which can happen if you hold to the “one covenant / two administrations” view from the WCF. If the Old is obsolete, and replaced with the New, you don’t drag the old forward. Yet, we have to agree that God’s Law is good as Paul declares in Rom 7. It just takes on a greater and fuller meaning in light of who Christ is and what He has done.

Dude, we need to have you on our podcast. Fireworks for sure. We’re a bunch of reformed-ish Baptists and love covenant theology, but, full disclosure, we tend to see eschatology through a Christ-centered lens rather than the lens of covenant. We split on the preterist and idealist readings of Revelation and I am the lone ammill in our little group.

Isn't Bahnsen basically in agreement with Van Til? He wrote a large tome about it.

Honest question, why would you need to add in Geerhardus Vos to avoid becoming a reconstructionist like Rushdoony? Does Bahnsen take Van Til to an improper conclusion?

It’s true, Xero shoes are awesome. Their soles last, but I find the stitching on the sides to be the weak point. Still, a big fan of the product. And I am in no way connected to the company.

I love my Xero shoes. The Prio and their daylite hikers are personal faves. I can run in the Prios, but their Simple DIY sandles are cheap and super effective for all activities.

To watch: Unbreakable, Bruce Willis. Asks what is a hero, and who is a villain. I know M. Night has had some flops, but I love this movie.
The meh, Avatar. Stunning special effects, but just so preachy it makes me gag.

Family just finished a study of 2 Peter and it does say that this world will be destroyed by fire as the old world was destroyed by water, making room for the New Heavens and New Earth. I think the New Creation has been inaugurated as it says in 2 Cor 5:17, but we are awaiting the full consummation of that new Creation, as Christ is the 2nd Adam and takes dominion over the New Creation they the spread of the Gospel. It does seems to be a gradual process, so there's something going on there.

I am not a paid spokesman. But, Swan was one of the first places where I bought BTC. I am still a customer and withdrawing is easy, free, and painless. They have had some bad press, but it just hasn’t affect their customer service for my small account. Maybe others have had different experiences.

Yeah, the video missed the point of why Jesus said to get away from Him. As the greater context shows. It was not because they prayed to Him as God the Son, but because they were hypocrites. It is not just saying Lord, or doing great or mighty works supposedly in His name (even miracles can be faked) but the ones who actually does the will of the Father. And then, verse 24 says to obey His (Jesus’s) words because He speaks with authority. He puts His words on par with the will of the Father, making His teaching equal. It is not falsely attributing deity to Jesus that brings His judgment on “that day” but knowing His teachings and not doing them (v 26). Obeying Jesus as the very Word of God is our safe haven in the coming storm. The original video missed it entirely. And, this renews my prayer for mercy from God as I can be guilty of this very thing. Thank God I have a mediator between the Judge and me, the God-man Christ Jesus.

Same. Wrote my thesis on the AnteNicean period back in the day (post Resurrection and the early Church up to 325 AD). Pre Constantine. A turbulent time today the least.

Just finished the audio version of Broken Money, by @nprofile…c44v. Read by @nprofile…tevv. Highly recommend if spend a lot of time in the car commuting or like to listen to books during a workout. There are lots of charts and graphs referenced, so a visual does help, but the descriptions are so vivid that you can visualize them yourself.
@nprofile…c44v states it is not a Bitcoin book, per se, but incorporates history, political theory, and technology into what money is and what our current system has become…and where it’s going. Definitely makes you think and if you weren’t a Bitcoiner before, you will be. If you weren’t skeptical of govt overreach before, you definitely will be.
Great job @nprofile…c44v and @nprofile…tevv !

Just a cursory review of Gramsci would support that. One scholar said that Gramsci was a proponent of teaching sex to kids early to help undermine the traditional family and replace it with the state system. I’m sure Freud would have seen the power of that tactic. Not saying Freud harbored pedo tendencies, but he did boil most things down to sex and basic id functions. And if you want a great critique of cultural Marxism from a Biblical standpoint, Fault Lines by Voddie Bachman is a must read.

FeyssPalmer, if we ever meet in person, the drink of your choice is on me. And, I thank you for an equally thoughtful and respectful exchange. I hope I understand your view correctly, that what we consider “morality” is the natural result of generational selection that fosters a more stable and functional society. Those traits are the ones passed on to our progeny. And, we have decided to call those traits “morality.” If so, then this pragmatic approach requires nothing more than to pass those traits on. No God required.
But I think that makes my point. The standards for what is a “good” society change with the wind, nothing is more arbitrary than that. Good by consensus changes with time and geography, as one empire supplants another. What perpetuates certain members of our species can also justify the worst crimes. Without an external law Giver, however, these actions are not “crimes”. And yes, I think you see my view correctly, an unchanging standard of morality must exist, or there is none. And, yes, my list of gods was woefully inadequate. You can lump all pantheistic religions into being part of the system they measure, therefore subjective. But the One that must exist outside the system in order to judge fairly is also the One that offers the way to pay for those crimes. He offers Himself. Not just the self sacrifice of a good man, but the Lawgiver Himself. And we, who were quite evil and selfish, are changed into better people as a result. That is what is fundamentally different about the person of Jesus Christ among all the ancient agrarian or early bronze age religions you listed.
Ultimately, I think your system lacks justice. Evil can be hidden and never made right. And I think your system allows evil to grow, under the justification that it is for the “greater good” of the species. And, from what I have read of your words, you definitely value truth, you truly value people, and you innately know there is a right and wrong. You claim that is the result of favorable genes. The Bible claims that God puts eternity into our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). We know there is something after we die, but we purposely suppress this knowledge because we choose evil rather than good (Romans 1:16-32). There is a Moral Law, we know some things are right and wrong, but there is also something wrong with us because we know what’s right but don’t do it. I know you don’t see the Bible as authority. I only quote those two versus because I am not the source of truth, nor do I claim to be able to define right or wrong for myself. My human attempts at that put myself first and hurt other people. I only can point others to the One who does show us what is good. Because He made us in His image, all of us, and He is of intrinsic and infinite value, we therefore have value. That is why murder is wrong. God will seek justice for the innocent, He will not just let that go. He is merciful, but he is also just. Ok, this tome does not answer all your very legitimate questions and objections. It is too long already. But I hope that at the bare minimum, as a result of our exchange, there are two more people that understand each other better and truly want the best for the other. If you choose to respond, I’ll definitely read and consider your words, even a short response, but I’ll close out the thread.
