"Theonomy" is a modern word built from two words in Greek:

Theos (θεός) -- God
Nomos (νόμος) -- Law

Therefore, in it's modern sense, "theonomy" refers to various ways of applying the law of God to human thought and action.

In one (very broad) sense, all followers of Christ practice "theonomy," since all those who truly follow Christ will recognize at least some way in which God's law binds and limits our ethical choices. Also, all true followers of Christ will affirm that no human being can use the law to be justified (to repair our relationship with the Holy God, a relationship which our sins damaged). We can only be justified by the one-time, finished work of Jesus Christ.

This wiki, however, is directed at theonomy in a narrower sense: the "lawful use" (see 1 Tim. 1:8) of God's law for:

defining justice
teaching us how to love our neighbors, and
limiting the authority of human governments (which often try to usurp God's authority and trample on our God-given liberty).

In each of these three areas, the history of Christian teaching has been shamefully inadequate. Christians, historically, have cheerfully supported tyrannical governments. Even though the apostle Paul said that the Old Testament scriptures were "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice, in order that each person belonging to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work," (2 Tim. 3:16-17) we find that Christians in history have often neglected God's law, substituting in its place the teachings and injunctions of men.

Denna wiki riktar sig mot en lösning på detta problem. Vi bekräftar att Gud avsåg att alla skulle använda sin lag inom de tre ovanstående områdena. Vi bekräftar (med aposteln Paulus) att Guds lag kan förstås och tillämpas i vår moderna tid, vilket ger samma rättvisa som den gav israeliterna.

Våra uppgifter som ambassadörer är att:

evangelisera
lär (lärjunge)
samlas i styrande samhällen
ge ett exempel till en värld av människor som är villiga att leva under det mest rättvisa (och mest frihetsskyddande) rättssystem som någonsin skapats

-This wiki aims toward a solution to this problem. We affirm that God intended everyone to use his law in the above three areas. We affirm (with the apostle Paul) that God's law can be understood and applied in our modern era, providing the same level of justice that it provided to the Israelites.
