Episode notes
Natural Law as Divine Revelation
- Natural law is part of God's natural revelation that reveals moral truth to all humans.
- This ensures all people bear responsibility before God and understand moral order even without scripture.
Natural Law vs. Bad Theories
- Natural law itself is consistent even if humans misunderstand or rebel against it.
- Bad natural law theories or sinners rejecting natural law do not negate its existence or authority.
Natural Law and Protestantism
- Natural law predates the Reformation and is affirmed by early Protestant theologians as biblical doctrine.
- It does not conflict with Sola Scriptura and is part of a continuous Christian tradition.
