<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.

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.

We are a collaborative community website centred around a Christian understanding of Biblical law. We believe that God’s transcendent moral standards – His Torah written in the Christian scriptures – are obligatory upon all people, including those who act as God’s servants in the realm of civil government. God’s law functions both as an obligation upon human authorities and as a transcendent limitation upon their natural tendency to “do what is right in their own eyes.” It provides fixed standards of justice and strictly regulates the human sanctions which are allowed to be imposed upon sin and crime.

We intend to create an easily used catalogue of God’s law as recorded in the Christian scriptures. It will be organised by verse, topic (murder, theft, sacrifice, etc.), and past and present function in God’s redemptive order. We will follow the interpretive principles outlined in the Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics. Nevertheless, the wiki will be open to level-headed discussions and dispassionate comparisons of different models for interpreting and applying the law.

Our goals

  1. Improve our understanding of God's law, and how to apply it to all areas of our lives
  2. Teach these things to our children (Deut. 6:7)
  3. Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8)
  4. Insofar as it depends upon us, live at peace with all men (Romans 12:18)
  5. Be good ambassadors for our reigning King (2 Cor. 5:20)

Rightly Dividing the Law

Functional Categorization of the Law

Rather than attempt to force our analysis of Biblical law into the traditional three-part, 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 of God's laws.

A Bible law may fall into more than one of the above categories. Sometimes, God intended more than one function from his law. As this project makes progress, these categories may change. We hope to continue improving our understanding of God's Law and its parts.

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!
  • 2020/06/24 - Transitioning to our new location, courtesy of the host of this domain. Many thanks! Glad to be free from Fandom's advertisements.
