-Rather than attempt to shoehorn our analysis of Biblical law into the traditional tripartite, exclusive divisions (see below), we propose the following set of non-exclusive, functional categories. We hope these help to distinguish the overlapping motives and purposes behind each law.

-<languages />We are a community dedicated to Christian theonomy. Theonomy means God's law. God is the standard for all law. His Torah -- his law-word -- is given to us in the Christian scriptures. Every person is required to follow God's law. This includes men in civil government. God's law establishes a fixed standard for civil government. It limits the power of men in government. It prevents them from "doing what is right in their own eyes." God's law also specifies and limits the penalties and punishments for sin and crime.
