    I feel like this helped clarify what you mean by natural law a little bit. Based on my understanding of it, I agree that natural law can be used to appeal to non-Christians as a middle ground in politics. My concern is that on issues that the Bible speaks on, shouldn’t special revelation take precedence over general revelation in informing Christians’ own approaches to politics? We agree that the Mosaic law has been abrogated and that the civil laws contained therein cannot be applied directly in our current time, but aren’t the broad principles that are the foundation of those laws still applicable? As an example, Leviticus 19:9-10, if applied directly, would not be particularly helpful in our current day (because of urbanization), but shouldn’t it be applied as a broad principle for informing policy (or even best practice for business)?

      Hi Ben, thanks for your comment and questions. Can you give me an example about where special revelation would take precedence over general revelation in politics? I agree with you about the idea of general principles from the law continuing to be helpful.

        The obvious example would be abortion. Its hard to argue from a purely scientific approach that unborn children are persons that need to be protected, but the scripture clearly indicates that human beings are image bearers of God even from the womb.

        For context, my comment here is a follow-up to comments that I made on Mr. Graham’s last post on legalism and antinomianism.
