  1. 5Solas5Points

    How significant is the difference between saying the decalogue CONTAINS the moral law but is not equivalent to it vs the decalogue IS the moral law?

    Witsius on the Natural Law and the Decalogue

    Recommendations for Study of Ten Commandments, esp. 2nd and 4th

    I feel as if I am in the middle of a paradigm shift recently.
