"THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS"
A Public Response to Brian Schwertley
by Greg Loren Durand
Greg Loren Durand has written a book against Theonomy. And the book is not just against Theonomy. I can understand people writing a book against the abuses of Theonomy, but he basically rejects the Reformed faith for a modified form of Dispensationalism. The book is totally unconfessional. The idea that the whole law of God has been done away. — Brian Schwertley
God codified the Covenant of Works specifically for the Israelites in the Mosaic law, and as an Israelite, Christ fulfilled that law to the letter. In a broader sense, He therefore also fulfilled the Covenant of Works in behalf of the Gentile elect. The specific Mosaic code for Israelites, and the general Covenant of Works for Gentiles, was therefore abrogated as far as the believer is concerned because Christ's active obedience is imputed to their account. In order to escape His judgment, God commands faith in Christ, not obedience to the Mosaic code/Covenant of Works. — Greg Loren Durand
