    BONUS: Replies from David VanDrunen On State Illegitimacy
    Sep 26 2024
    In this bonus episode, we interview Dr. David VanDrunen. We consider his reply on several points to Pastor Taylor Drummond's critical article that we discuss in episode 17. The title of that article is "Fool's Gold?: A libertarian analysis of VanDrunen's account of state legitimacy" and it examines particular arguments in David VanDrunen's book Politics After Christendom.VanDrunen expresses his appreciation for Drummond's article and our episode discussing it, raises questions concerning immoral complicity if the state is taken to be illegitimate, offers some clarification about his (up to this point) not having differentiated monopoly states from non-monopolistic civil governance in his writing, raises questions concerning what sort of consent is normative for the customary legal order's own legitimacy and its authorizing function, raises the question of when abuse or injustice might categorically disqualify one from rightfully possessing authoritative office and its relation to political resistance, and, at the end, responds to our proposal how a fuller, non-aggressionist view of proportionality in the lex talionis of the Noahic Covenant entails a conclusive argument in favor of the exclusively "protectionist" purpose of civil governance law. https://reformedlibertarians.com/bonusCMain Points of Discussion00:00 Introduction00:09 Episode description02:15 Prefatory statements05:37 The question of immoral complicity16:30 Clarifying matters of complicity21:13 The question of civil governance vs. monopoly state27:55 Distinguishing normativity from de facto (non-)conformity to norms31:00 The question of legitimizing consent35:56 Distinguishing compliance under duress (by aggression)40:45 The question of abuse/tyranny and de-legitimization45:20 The question of a conclusive protectionist-only view49:32 Remaining uncertainty about Scriptural “regulative principle” for civil governance52:29 Closing remarksAdditional ResourcesAbout David VanDrunenhttps://www.wscal.edu/faculty-member/david-vandrunen/ – author page at Mongerismhttps://www.monergism.com/authorsspeakers/david-vandrunen – bib at ResearchGatehttps://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/David-VanDrunen-2115184386 Episode 17: David VanDrunen’s View Of Civil Government, with Taylor Drummondhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/017 “Fool’s Gold?: A libertarian analysis of VanDrunen’s account of state legitimacy,” by Taylor Drummondhttps://libertarianchristians.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/CLR-5-Drummond.pdfPolitics After Christendom by David VanDrunenhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/0310108845/ “The Protectionist Purpose of Law: A Moral Case from the Biblical Covenant with Noah,” by David VanDrunenhttps://www.pdcnet.org/jsce/content/jsce_2015_0035_0002_0101_0117 Episode 2: What Does Romans 13 Say About Civil Government?https://reformedlibertarians.com/002 Episode 8: The Boetie Option - the peaceful underthrow of the statehttps://reformedlibertarians.com/008 Episode 14: Does Political Representation Make Sense?, with Gerard Caseyhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/014 Episode 15: Can Christian Civil Government Be Theocratic?https://reformedlibertarians.com/015 Episode 18: Politics And The Church’s Mission: What Should The Church Teach About Civil Government? https://reformedlibertarians.com/018 Audio of Answering 10 Objections to Libertarian Anarchism by Roderick Longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsUjJ7TOhgk&list=PLwrDNUO5MDu8WYU5oB7l037lvAEjSoPBr&index=13 The Reformed Libertarians Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute: https://libertarianchristians.com and a member of the Christians for Liberty Network: https://christiansforliberty.netAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

    Ep. 19: The Myth Of Religious Neutrality
    Sep 12 2024

    A reading of edited excerpts from the article “On The General Relation Of Religion, Metaphysics, and Science” by Dr Roy A. Clouser, presenting the Neo-Calvinist view of what has been called The Myth Of Religious Neutrality. The predominant Scholastic view of the general relation is summarized, followed by a summary of the Neo-Calvinist, or Reformational view. According to the Neo-Calvinist view, the way in which religious belief guides theories is then summarized, the view of religious belief is further explained, how religious belief within a given metaphysics affects science is further explained, and a prominent objection is answered.

    Ep. 18: Politics and the Church's Mission: What Should the Church Teach About Civil Government?
    Aug 15 2024
    We discuss the teaching mission of the institutional church, its relation to the church’s statements of faith, and what the institutional church must and may not teach about politics on several important points. We talk about the Reformed confessional view of submission to civil governance, the recent failure of some churches in the face of unlawful state dictates, the error of theonomic views, and how a biblically Reformed covenantal hermeneutic informs a correct view of general equity.https://reformedlibertarians.com/018Main Points of Discussion00:00 Introduction00:32 Episode description01:00 Why are we discussing this?02:15 What is the church’s teaching mission?05:07 One way the Reformed confessions are part of the church’s mission07:34 False teaching about submission to God-ordained civil governance13:43 Not a matter of political theory14:53 False teaching of original and so-called “general equity theonomy”19:28 Proper meaning of general equity24:30 The Reformed biblical covenantal hermeneutic30:39 Recap32:53 Disestablishmentarianism and Biblical criterion of proportional retributionAdditional Resources:What Does Romans 13 Say About Civil Government?https://reformedlibertarians.com/002Why Is The Right Of Resistance Important?https://reformedlibertarians.com/006Answers to Objections to Reformed Confessional View of Romans 13https://reformedlibertarians.com/episode/why-isnt-the-state-biblically-justified-resolving-romans-13-objections/Annotated bibliography of Reformed Political Resistance Theologyhttps://tinyurl.com/RefoPoliResistBibPaper and video presentation of “Theonomy, General Equity, and Libertarianism” by Jonathan McIntoshhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/theonomy-general-equity-and-libertarianism-by-jonathan-mcintoshExcerpt from “Men In Combat Over The Civil Law: ‘General Equity’ in WCF 19.4” by Peter Wallace and Craig Troxelhttps://sites.google.com/view/general-equity/Lecture series on Reformed Covenant Theology in systematic, biblical, and practical perspectives by Lee Ironshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwrDNUO5MDu9WPd6FaReLxZkaK7VO8plEVideo explaining the relations between the Abrahamic, Old Mosaic, and New Covenants, by Lee Ironshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_ScAhK-s2s5 videos explaining the typological works principle in the Old Mosaic Covenant, by Lee Ironshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwrDNUO5MDu-vEf9AeUSZt8UY53E7OYnFThe Westminster Confession of Faith (1788)https://opc.org/wcf.htmlThe Belgic Confession of Faith (1958)https://threeforms.org/the-belgic-confession/Resources on the false teaching of Theonomy- Meredith G.

    Ep. 17: David VanDrunen’s View Of Civil Government, with Taylor Drummond
    Jul 18 2024

    An interview with Pastor Taylor Drummond about his article “Fool’s Gold?: A libertarian analysis of VanDrunen’s account of state legitimacy,” which appreciatively, but critically, examines arguments in the book Politics After Christendom by Dr. David VanDrunen. Pastor Drummond introduces himself and recounts how he became a confessional, Calvinistic Baptist, and a libertarian-anarchist. He speaks about how VanDrunen’s biblical arguments for the legitimacy of the state fail his own standard for justifying the state. Drummond also explains how VanDrunen’s theoretical argument is at odds with his own view of law, justice, and rights, and is in tension with many of his economic and theological insights.

    Ep. 16: The Five Elements and Epochs of The Kingdom Of God
    Jun 6 2024
    An introduction to a Reformed view of the Kingdom of God in its 5 elements and its 5 covenantally-administered epochs, culminating in the Kingdom’s definitive consummation in the New Creation. The relation between Christian cultural activity and the Kingdom of God is also clarified.https://reformedlibertarians.com/016Main Points of Discussion00:00 Introduction00:32 Episode description 01:03 Kingdom of God as the New Creation and central to Bible and all reality03:25 5 “Royal” Elements Ruler, Realm, Reign, those Ruled, Regulation by Covenant05:31 Covenant in Scripture as oath-commitment Covenants as administering Kingdom of God07:20 5 Epochs 1.

One of Dispensationalism’s erroneous beliefs (in all its forms) is that after the first advent of Christ, God’s promise to give the physical territory of Canaan to the physical descendants of Israel remains in effect.A doctrinal “heresy” can be understood as a teaching that denies some point of orthodox creedal teaching. The heretical teaching we had in mind (and should have specified) is the belief that prior to Christ’s first advent, or during the era of the Law (or Old Covenant), salvation was not by grace through faith in Christ, the promised Savior. Not all forms of Dispensationalism teach this, however.For further discussion of Dispensationalism, see this lecture on The New Covenant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynilaJANdoMAdditional Resources:The Majesty On High, by Steven M.

  • Ep. 15: Can Christian Civil Government Be "Theocratic"?

    Ep. 15: Can Christian Civil Government Be "Theocratic"?
    Apr 20 2023

    A discussion of whether a Reformed Christian view of civil governance is compatible with theocracy. We explain how the term "theocratic" has been used, and two key elements of a theocratic view (namely, the monopoly state and civil establishment of religion) that must be rejected in a genuinely Christian view of civil governance. We also touch on how some who support a theocratic view go wrong in their eschatology.

    https://reformedlibertarians.com/015/

    00:00 Start

    00:32 Episode description

    01:27 About the history of the term https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/political-science-and-government/political-science-terms-and-concepts/theocracy

    02:22 All of life, and so all politics, is ultimately guided by central religious commitments

    04:45 The objectionable sense of "theocratic" is not entailed by the universality of central religious commitments and their ultimate guidance of all of life

    05:28 Two key elements of theocracy are "a monopoly state" and "civil establishment of religion"; Monopoly explained

    07:41 Just and unjust uses of coercion; The obligation of non-aggression; The illegitimacy of all states

    12:13 A simple analogy

    15:12 Establishmentarianism explained https://reformedlibertarians.com/against-civil-establishment-of-religion/

    16:46 The unique, symbolic, and temporary (now obsolete) old Mosaic covenant theocracy involved suspension of the common grace order; It was a temporary symbolic-intrusion of final judgment and the kingdom of God, now inaugurated in the new covenant institutional church, and yet to be consummated in the New Heavens and Earth

    19:59 While the old covenant was in effect, it was not a violation of non-aggression https://reformedlibertarians.com/002 ; Now, in the new covenant era, the normal operation of the common grace order has resumed; This entails prohibition of establishmentarianism and monopoly, enacting either is antichrist

    22:03 Genuinely limited governance, required by God's ultimate sovereignty, according to a consistent Christian view, entails non-monopoly and non-establishment

    24:17 Recap

    25:10 The under-realization of inaugurated eschatology in the new covenant by postmillennialism and so-called optimism that often accompanies a theocratic view
