Undermining the Theonomist Syllogism

~ Mike Lewis ~ 2 Comments

It seems to me that the Theonomist argument can be boiled down to the following Syllogism: P1) God does not change. P2) If the Law has been abrogated, then God has changed. C) The Law has not been abrogated. The Reformed Libertarian objection is with P2. This is not necessarily true. If the purpose for … Continue reading Undermining the Theonomist Syllogism

The Theological Reasoning Behind Reformed Libertarianism

~ Mike Lewis ~ 1 Comment

This is a cross post from Facebook, but I thought I would preserve it. Somebody asked me for the Theological Reasoning Behind Reformed Libertarianism.

My Definitive Exegesis of Romans 13, and How it Supports Anarchy

I am an anarchist who was, until recently, a minarchist because I could not "get around" Romans 13. But in recent months I have come to accept anarchy through careful study of Romans 13. In a … Continue reading My Definitive Exegesis of Romans 13, and How it Supports Anarchy

Dr. Marc Clauson, professor of History and Political Science at Cedarville University, wrote a blog post for Bereans at the Gate back in September that I have been long overdue in rebutting. In his article he used the case of Belle Knox, the famous Duke porn star, to ponder the question of whether Divine Command … Continue reading Libertarianism and the Christian: An Uneasy Relationship? – A Response to Bereans at the Gate
