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 name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you”

~ Mike Lewis

There is much blasphemy running around the world these days, and while there is no outright persecution in the United States, at least, there certainly is a writhing sense of loathing seething under the surface.

A Very Brief Comparison of Libertarian and Theonomist Utopias

Societal Degradation – Why do I Care So Passionately?

~ Mike Lewis

Recently the following objection was raised to me*: The societal degradation of a culture is what ultimately will destroy it. Arnold Joseph Toynbee chronicled that in 26 great ancient civilizations, there was a pattern of moral decay before the society was destroyed.
