Theocast
A Reformed Response to Theonomy
May 17, 2023
Summary
In the first of two episodes on theonomy, Jon and Justin seek to generally define theonomy and then respond to it theologically. The guys consider a confessional understanding of the threefold division of the law, the distinction between moral and positive law, and 1689 Federalism as safeguards against theonomy.

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, Justin and I, well, we talk about theonomy.
It's a pretty hot topic, but please hear us out before you turn it off.
We are trying to be accurate in representing what theonomy has taught and is teaching today, and the reform response to that, specifically covenant theology from a 1689 Federalist position.
We try to be charitable and gracious.
We're hoping the iron sharpens iron here and that we can all glorify and love our Father together.
Stay tuned.
We are excited to announce we have a brand new podcast available called the Kingsmen Podcast.
It's where we are reclaiming biblical manhood by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.
You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.
You can also watch it on YouTube.
We have new episodes that come out every Monday.
Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ conversations about the Christian life from a reformed and pastoral and confessional perspective.
Your hosts today are Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.
And I'm John Moffat.
I'm pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, where there's lots of pollen.
So lots of sneezing today.
Say less.
Yeah.
It's good to be with you, Justin.
We've had the opportunity to already talk and deal with technological problems.
