Conversations With An Ebullient Natural Law Theorist
April 22, 2021

For The KingFTK
How far can natural law stretch in society? What is the use of natural law to the Christian?
Natural law are the laws that are self-evident to all humans as being endowed by their creator by virtue of their being made in God's image, however, this law is only as good as it matches up to revealed laws of God found in scripture. Christians should understand natural law but it has been lost to 21st century Christianity almost entirely. Hopefully this will help get you started in understanding such an important topic. Some application of natural law include, rights afforded to mankind, international law, laws of war, etc.
