The Westminster Confession of Faith taught the CoW was given "voluntarily." That is the definition of "positive law." In contrast, we "owe obedience unto him" as Creator regardless. Natural law is built into nature, part of man's knowledge, even when suppressed (Rom. 1).

I could be wrong but it seems that the kuyperians and modern 2ks agree that the covenant of works is inherent in or constitutive of nature/creation. So, CoW is essential to natural law. Their disputes are centered on its political implications. But it seems that classically CoW was understood at connatural or logically instituted subsequent to natural law (by order of decree). Natural law is necessary for CoW but CoW is not necessary to natural law. My political thought assumes the latter formulation.

Covenant Theology 101: - Natural Law is not the same as the Covenant of Works. - Natural Law is prior to and distinguished from the CoW.

Whenever I have a question about theology, most of my reliable sources today are about 20 years younger than me. I admire these guys. Amazing things happening.

“Connatural” is probably the wrong way to put it. The point is that natural law does not logically entail CoW. But CoW logically assumes natural law as the content of its antecedent.

Journalism attracts the dumbest people—the sort of people who can’t produce an idea and defend it but can half-understand another’s idea, “expose” it, and create sensation. They are idea-managers for the powerful in mass democracy. “Speaking truth to power” is a lie.

The role of the journalist is to manage and apply public standards of legitimacy to ideas and individuals. It isn’t “truth telling”; it is managing “truth” on behalf of the powerful.

This is why it requires only weak minds. Being weak-minded is a strength, in a way. They conflate truth/false and good/bad, and good/bad is received, not attained by thought. If it is “bad,” it is false. And since they can’t understand the idea fully, they are equipped to accentuate its badness.

You can’t affirm “spirituality of the church” and then encourage men to get their political philosophy or ideas about natural things from the church. It necessarily means that people have to seek out voices outside the instituted church and ministry. You can’t have it both ways.

NEW HORIZONS FEATURE | Where are the Young Men? by Rev. Everett Henes In Christian circles, many wonder how to reach young men in a digital age, and how to encourage them to consider ministry. Rev. Everett Henes contributes to the conversation in this month's New Horizons. Read the full article here: opc.org/nh.html?article_id=1…

The only way to reconcile this is to adopt anabaptist ideas, which confound nature and grace.

The pastor should affirm and encourage those laboring in politics. But, most importantly, they should remind them to set their minds on things above, on higher things, on eternal life in Christ.

Yesterday evening, the Nathanael Greene Society was notified of our disaffiliation from the Old Glory Club. While this came as a surprise, it ultimately has no bearing on the direction or mission of the Society. The Nathanael Greene Society remains committed to unifying Christian brothers in the state of North Carolina and furthering our goals and mission. We wish the chapters of the Old Glory Club the best. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 Esse Quam Videri

Do not waste your time being the reply guy to anti-CNs. Do something productive. Ignore them.

Yes. From a historical standpoint, Baptists have certainly rejected the magisterium. But from a systematic standpoint, this is not a necessary conclusion of our belief system. Just declaring "that's not Baptist" is not persuasive in arguing against these ideas.
Stephen Wolfe
@PerfInjustOct 20
I recently finished a long essay arguing that Baptist theology does not logically limit the state in any way different than Presbyterian theology limits the state. Both logically reject the Erastian view. The absolute limits are the same. Rejecting the “magisterial” view is accidental to the Baptist system.
