A Challenge to u/Terevos2
I've been having a great discussion with one of the mods here, Terevos2, about God's law and Civil Government. We have been discussing how God's law applies to civil government (if at all). Terevos, a moderator on a "reformed" subreddit, *actually* maintains that civil government specifically ought *NOT* to enforce laws that are modeled after Biblical law. Now perhaps I've misrepresented him, but here is a quote:
> And no, I don't think our government should apply any of God's law for society. We can certainly learn from God's commands, but to implement some of them without all of them would be to infringe on the whole law.
But perhaps he needs an opportunity to further clarify his position (which I propose to provide to him).
While I enjoy talking to Terevos and I enjoy his presence on the subreddit I believe that he holds to and is promoting a particularly offensive and humanistic view of God's law. I'd like to challenge Terevos2 to agree to participating in a friendly skype video conference, on a date of his choosing, of a duration of his choosing, that will be moderated to make sure neither of us become "too excited," in which we will discuss this question. Then I'll upload it to youtube and post it on the subreddit so that everyone here can consider the issue on their own.
This will allow Terevos to fully clarify his position to me, it will allow us to really get into the nitty gritty of the question without being held back by the use of words instead of speech, and it ought to be great food for thought to everyone here.
What do you say Terevos?
If any of you fellow members of this subreddit are interested in seeing your moderator do this then please indicate your support of the idea in the comments below.
The theme of the discussion will basically be this: Should civil government seek to employ biblical law as the foundational basis for all civil law?
