Translations:What is a Biblical law jurisdiction, and how is this concept derived from scripture?/2/en

Obviously, different people will reach different conclusions about how certain Biblical laws should be interpreted. These often involve issues that affect how civil government should treat (or not treat) certain crimes/sins. Some people, for instance, believe that the Sinai covenant feasts should continue to be observed in some way, and that civil government should somehow enforce observance. Others believe that this is an area of Christian liberty. Some people believe that the Sabbath should still be enforced in some way by civil government, and some (like myself) believe that such enforcement is no longer in the power of civil government (cf. Col. 2:16-17). Some people believe that witnessed acts of adultery should be punished by civil government, and some believe that they should not.
