Verið velkomin á wiki laga Guðs

Við erum samvinnuvefur samfélagsins sem snýst um kristinn skilning á lögum Guðs eins og það er skrifað í Biblíunni. Við trúum því að lög Guðs séu yfirgengilegar skyldur yfir alla menn, líka þá sem starfa sem þjónar Guðs á sviði borgaralegra stjórnvalda. Lög Guðs virka bæði sem skylda á yfirvöld manna og sem yfirgengileg takmörkun á náttúrulegri tilhneigingu þeirra til að „gera það sem er rétt í þeirra eigin augum.“ Það veitir fasta réttlætisstaðla og stýrir ströngum viðurlögum sem leyfilegt er að beita vegna glæpa og afbrota.

The aim of this wiki is to generate an easily accessible catalogue of God’s law in the Christian scriptures ─ organised by verse, topic (murder, theft, sacrifice, etc.), and past and present function in God’s redemptive order. We will follow the hermeneutical principles outlined in the Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics. Nevertheless, the wiki will be open to level-headed discussions and dispassionate comparisons of various models for interpreting and applying the law, as proffered by a range of theonomic authors.

Rightly Dividing the Law

Functional Categorization of the Law

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.

• Loving God
• Loving one's neighbor
• Family Regulations
• Human Judicial Response
  • Judicial Procedure
  • Restorative Justice
  • Retributive Justice
• Typological Function
  • Ritual Cleanness
  • Sacrificial Regulations
• Levitical Priesthood Regulations
• Israelite Land Regulations
• One-time Command

The above should be considered non-exclusive "categories," rather than "divisions." As this project advances, these categories may be amended to better fit a comprehensive understanding of God's Law and its parts.

Traditional (Tripartite) Division of the Law

• Civil/Judicial Law
• Moral Law
• Typological/Ceremonial Law
• Principles and Definitions

Announcements

• 2020/09/02 - Notes working and added; support for many languages in the works. Much work still do be done in categorization.
• 2020/08/07 - Adding translations now, more streamlining, and continuing to add content. Passages categorized up into Exodus 20.
• 2020/07/21 - The Chapter and Passage pages have been streamlined significantly. Some features still under construction. Progressively sanctifying our design for the topic structure. Bare-bones passage categorizations added up through Exodus 14.
• 2020/07/02 - Significant formatting upgrades in progress. We're up through Exodus 9 in parsing the scripture. More commands per chapter in Exodus, so progress will be slower from here on out. Getting close to Sinai, though! Excited to dive into the actual law soon!
