14-The Law the Believer's Rule?
Series Believers Under Christ's Law
How should believers read, quote and use the law? Are they obliged to obey it as a command, as a rule? If so, are they obliged to obey all the commandments? Or what?
Different schools of thought come up with different answers.
At one extreme, there is the Reconstructionist: Believers have to obey the law, all of it. This includes stoning for witches, adulterers, sabbath breakers, and so on. Believers must do all they can to bring about a Christian State which will enforce the Mosaic law on all its citizens.
At the other extreme, there is the Antinomian: Believers are utterly free of the law. Disobedience brings more grace and more liberty. This is what the ‘no condemnation in Christ’ means.1
In this article, I have only one thing to say about these two: both are completely unscriptural.
