Well, I see that as good and bad. Getting back to God’s Word is always a good thing. You guys bring up some important issues like restitution. Coming up with an authoritarian-type interpretation of God’s Word from one man or group – not so good. I wish you well.
(FYI, I’m a Christian Constitutional conservative and an economic libertarian that believes in very limited government. The need in this country is changed hearts by God’s spirit, not resurrecting Old Testament laws that the New Testament declares are decayed and ready to vanish (Heb 8:13).)
This statement could be seen as the pietist error of placing the emphasis on experience rather than upon obedience. "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith."
The ceremonial laws of Israel are obsolete, now that the fulfillment, Christ, has come. The civil laws of God, however, are eternally binding. And those who belittle God's word (perhaps, by referring to a major part of it as "God's Word, emeritus, or, "what God believed before He evolved to our level of sophistication") shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Seriously, though, the Big Ten, and their 600 or so illustrations, give us a pattern of public weal. Common law is God's law applied over the centuries to local situations. To find the god of any culture, look for the perceived source of their laws.
If we as Christians treat God's laws with contempt, should we be surprised when "nine old men" declare themselves divine? The ultimate source of right and wrong?
Clarity provides traction. God's Law provides a transmission connecting the power within us to the needs around us. The Book of Leviticus has made me a better technical writer.
