Re: A Handmaids Tale

It is interesting that almost no one wants to discuss the pros/cons of living under mosaic law.

From Wikepedia:

Quote:
Theonomy, from theos (god) and nomos (law), is the idea that Mosaic law should be observed by modern societies. Theonomists reject the traditional Reformed belief that the civil laws of the Mosaic Law are no longer applicable. This idea is not to be confused with the idea of "theonomous ethics" proposed by Paul Tillich.
Either everyone thinks Mosaic Law would be grand, or more likely that Esaias would out debate them on it. If we could clone Bro Esaias and put all of them in charge it might work.

I personally think that until the wicked are destroyed depraved men can not govern themselves justly.

The Israelites were not able to make mosaic law work, and I don't think there has every been a successful theonomic society, correct me if I am wrong.
