Recently I was speaking to a pretty well known "Calvinistic" pastor and he said:
" I see no language in the Bible that would convince me that the ten commandments constitue the moral law.....Those are theological constructs that are the result of hermeneutic systems, not the result of solid exegesis."
He went on to say:
" Now, I agree wholeheartedly with the London Baptist Confession of Faith, which states the commandments cannot save, but they do inform us concerning the nature amd character of God. And to, that degree, they are valuable and important. I am not dismissing the ten commandments. I am merly putting them in their historic and theological place"
My question is- how does one go about in responding to a negation of the ten commandments as "the moral law"? I have a few ideas, but I wanted to see how the brethren would go about it. I really don't know why anyone would be unwilling to call them the moral law, unless one is promoting Anti-nomianism
In advance, thanks!
