Yes! Exactly!
Furthermore, Calvin and Turretin claimed that "Natural Law" has the power to change the Mosaic judicials, and even change the penalties imposed by the judicials. This is a far cry from Bahnsen's views on Theonomy.
I like Bahnsen alot, and I even met him shortly before he passed away. His work in Apologetics is second to none. He had a clear view of the Gospel. He is sitting closer to God than I ever hope to be. Hopefully, I will meet him in heaven.
The "bath water" of his theology is this Theonomy stuff. I would rather toss that out and remember him for all of the good he has done for the Church.
