Question:-- What about the idea that the government should be neutral and should recognize that we live in a democratic, pluralistic society?R.J. Rushdoony: Our Lord said, "Occupy until I come." We are told that the kingdoms of this world must become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. The Old Testament if rife with prophecies concerning the nations being under the Christ the Messiah. Now this is clearly an important aspect of our faith. Some years ago, Weingarten wrote a book made up entirely of the texts of the Old Testament that predict the triumph to come in Christ, how all the nations shall be His. Isaiah says that even in Egypt, being a type of the unregenerate world, five cities out of six will call upon the name of the Lord, an image of great victory. So if we are going to fight with an eye towards winning, we've got to have a postmillennial faith. Now you can go to heaven without it, but you'll do better in this world and in the world to come, if you stand in terms of the fact that we are to bring everything into captivity to Christ. All our thinking is presuppositional. We begin with axioms of thought, premises that we believe, and we think in terms of that. As Christians we think in terms of the fact that God is, and all things must reckon with God and make an accounting to God. If we do not believe, we begin with the premise, God is not and I am alone in this world. It's a dog-eat-dog world. It's survival of the fittest. So you live accordingly and the world goes to hell in a hand basket. It becomes trashier. So ideas do have consequences. To believe that we are the people of victory that Christ is going to triumph and only when all things are put under His feet will the last enemy, death, be destroyed.

Dear "junk:" You'd better start preparing now for your heavenly interview ... where you explain to God how/why his OT law is so unnaturally cruel and ill-spoken. Furthermore, unless you refute all the other national law systems of the world, you'll need to explain why you've disagreed ... only with God's civil ethical system!

My problem with Rushdoony is that he demands that my God must look like his.

The moral law is perpetual and only the ceremonial and judicial law were taken away. if you believe that there is no the Law of Moses any more, then why do you disallow murder. If you search the scripture, it is clear that civil punishment and lawful war is the exception to the commandment of not murder. Punishment of unrepented terrible heresy and criminal is absolutely lawful and is the duty of a magistrate.

I think you should phrase it this way:"Romans 13 does not belong in the New Testament because it says the civil magistrate bears the sword and punishes evil doers ..."And ..."The Pelagian view of the non-existence original sin is the correct view and all others Christians who believe in original sin are in error. In fact, no sin or crime should ever be punished in the way God's Law prescribes. We should rely on man's ideas instead ..."That would clarify your antinomian views.

Only Calvinist loons believe in killing people for breaking the Law of Moses. True Christians know (1) Jesus nailed the Law of Moses to the cross, (2) Jesus did away with the death penalty for religious infractions when he said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" -- newsflash, Rushdoony, everyone has sin except infants, and infants can't throw very far.

Wow. I'd say more about what this just made me realize, but for obvious reasons, lets not ruin it for those who don't or will never get it.

Yes, thank you!
