Our World DOES Belongs to God

I do believe in God's Law or Biblical Justice being something we get back to following in our lives. I am not a Theonomist, however, which might confuse some people.

The reason I cannot support the Theonomist idea is that it wishes for all penalties for breaking the Law Code in the Bible should follow the penalties listed in the Torah. I agree with theonomy that the Moral Law from the Bible is still in effect for God. However, I disagree with making the entirety of the Law code backed by the force of our modern Justice system. 

For example, I have no problem with Capital Punishment by the government against thou whom shall murder. Which matches the penalty of murders being killed by the government under Theocracy in the Old Testament.

I believe restitution for theft is legitimate as a form of punishment for theft which is the penalty in the Bible for thou shall not steal. 

I would support a sexual predator also being given Capital punishment by the government as well. Which matches the idea that governments job is to vanquish evil and enforce the good.

Parts of the Moral Law that consist of laws against harming others or their property absolutely are enforceable, but, that does not mean it is possible or even plausible to enforce with law everything in the moral code. 

I do not support becoming a Theocracy which does things like giving the death penalty for adulatory. However, people whom do such a thing are absolutely breaking God's Law and if not saved by Grace through Faith in Christ will have an eternal home in the depths of hell. The answer is to evangelize them and not to use Theocratic means to that end. Much as Jesus did with the woman caught in adulatory tell them to repent, and go sin no more not stone them with the law

I also think, however, going to the other extreme of saying God has no moral or immoral behaviour in his sight is also not biblical. For example; I am against Sodomy laws, but, homosexual sexual activity is still against the moral code section of God's laws. I am not going to condone said activity, but, I do think that it should be legal to act in such a manor. It clearly lists sexually active homosexuals as not inheriting the kingdom of God in Corinthians. Which means we should tell the truth in love to our LGBTQ friends and not hide the truth from them. We should evangelize said individuals and get them saved in love and with compassion for their struggle in Jesus Holy Name. 

If everything that was something that is listed as sending people to hell was illegal we would be living in an Authoritarian Nightmare which I am not prepared to support in anyway. 

The main place I agree with Theonomy on is that the World does Belong to God. However, at the end of the day God is in solid control of this World and His decrees will come to pass no matter how much this world fights against Him. All we can do is to work to be his means to that end.
