In fact, what is the purpose of having a magistrate if not to enforce the general equity of God's law? | Yes; the magistrate has the authority, and responsibility for doing this. A better question might be where the Bible gives people the right to dictate the terms of the governmental powers... | This question of the rights of the governed is handled by one of our most influential Confessional Framers, Samuel Rutherford in his book, Lex Rex. Tolle, Lege.
