Today's Resource: God's Criminal Justice System

Does the Bible support the death penalty before the crucifixion? How about after the crucifixion? The death penalty forms the centerpiece of the Gospel. The first and last books of the Bible deal with execution, as do the Old and New Testaments generally. Enjoy this presentation of God's ideas about criminal justice. Many Christians pray for an open door to share the Gospel with a friend. That door opens with every newscast, and with the reading of every newspaper, for those who benefit from God's Criminal Justice System. Meanwhile, discover the unique style of Bob Enyart and enjoy all of his teaching tapes.

The Bible tells the story of human history and the work of God for His creation. And as all good stories do, Scripture has a plot! Grasping the big picture will help you reconcile many seemingly contradictory and controversial Bible passages. So consider listening to The Plot series based on Bob’s manuscript of the same title. Then enjoy these book studies and see how the big picture can help you to better know the living God.

The biggest problem here is that Bob Enyart sucks at being a theonomist.

See here:
http://kgov.com/what-does-the-bible-say-about-pot-marijuana-should-it-be-illegal

The problem is that Bob Enyart has NO Biblical argument here. He presupposes what he is trying to prove. In fact the OT never criminalizes drunkenness. Enyart NEVER provides a verse proving otherwise, he simply ASSUMES it should be criminal because the Bible says it is immoral.

Even under OT law, there was no drug prohibition. The actual reconstructionists know this. See here: http://store.americanvision.org/blo...ould-nail-jesus-all-over-again-and-he-s-right

If anyone on TOL can be loony enough to compare Jesus Christ with dope smoking hippies, the Jr. Libertarian would be the one (or are you theonomist today Jr.?)

Note in the article how the Libertarian nutcase Joel McDurmon wants prostitution legal as well.

You L/libertarians might note (obviously in delight) that the Bible says nothing about criminalizing pedophilia either.

Enchantment/sorcery/witchcraft (much overlap there) is forbidden in the O.T. What exactly those things comprised is a study in itself but pharmacological use is not precluded. You may find something of interest here:

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, covetousness, anger, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication, effeminacy, idolatry, hatred, strife, reveling, witchcraft, evil speaking, envy, lying, and bitterness.

Should all these be labeled as crimes? Yes or no?

Because inordinate affection should always be compared with shooting up heroin (Libertarians, what would life be like if we couldn't mock them?).

Stop your knee from jerking, Brum. I was just replying to a point he made, not really making one myself.

Relax.
