SNAKE 42: What's Your View of General Equity Theonomy?

In this episode of "Steak on the Table," we tackle the topic of general equity theonomy—what it means, how it applies to modern governance, and whether it's misunderstood or misapplied. Are accusations against thinkers like Rushdoony and Bahnsen fair, or are they rooted in misconceptions? We unpack the controversies, examine the confessions like the 1689 London Baptist, and explore how biblical principles intersect with laws in today's pluralistic society.

Join Tanner Cartwright and Jerry Dorris from Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, as we discuss Christian nationalism, confessional Christianity, and whether theonomy aligns with the moral law of God. Is this a third-tier issue, or does it demand deeper reflection on justice and governance?
