Transcript For Lesson Six Answers
Biblical Law I Lesson 6
Welcome back. We are going to be starting on the sixth commandment - Thou shalt not kill. This has a lot of different implications as I am sure you discovered in your reading.
For Lesson Six read: Institutes Of Biblical Law Vol. 1 pages 219 -262. Any questions not answered when you watch the video must be marked wrong.
Pause this video now until you have completed all the questions.
The Sixth Commandment
“Thou Shalt Not Kill”
1. Calvin cited UNJUST violence as forbidden by the law; capital punishment, legitimate warfare, self-defence, and similar acts are not forbidden. pg. 219
2. The proper meaning of the law involves both the NEGATIVE precept and the POSITIVE affirmation.
3. The law asks two things of every man, OBEDIENCE and ENFORCEMENT. pg. 220
4. Law and order are the RESPONSIBILITIES of all good men without exception. pg. 221
5. LIFE is created by God, and can be assailed or taken only on God’s terms. pg. 221
6. The DOCTOR’S function is to further healing and to protect and further man’s life under God. pg. 221
Instead of healing more and more doctors more moving into the taking of human life through abortion and euthanasia.
7. Not reverence for life but reverence for GOD and His law-word is basic to this and every other commandment. pg. 222
We do not worship life, we worship God. If we worshipped life, there would be no martyrs. Yet church history is filled with martyrs and even today more people lose their lives for Christ than at any other time in history.
8. To view DEATH as the ultimate evil is thus morally wrong. pg. 222
9. The purely personal violations of this law involve any and every ABUSE of our body which is destructive to our health and in violation of God’s will for us. pg. 223
This would include taking unnecessary risks, smoking, tattooing, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and anything we deliberately do to harm ourselves. It can also include overeating, over working, lack of care for personal hygiene, etc. I think we all have an area or more that we need to work on to bring God glory through the care of our bodies. This is not to bring condemnation for those in Christ, but neither is being in Christ an excuse to violate any aspect of God’s law. The more we study the Law, the more we realize we need a Saviour!
10. To worship God alone is the ESSENCE of the law. pg. 223
11. Man is born into a world of total MEANING. pg. 224
While meaningless plagues the non-Christian community, it should not be a part of the Christian life. You were specifically designed by a loving Father to have meaning and purpose. It begins with loving and worshipping God. That is always the foundation and God will lead us into the good works He has prepared for us as we follow Him.
The Death Penalty
12. In order to give man the pre-eminence, the humanist logically must destroy any concept of JUSTICE as a real and objective standard. pg. 226
13. History has never been determined by MAJORITIES but rather always and only by God. pg. 227
This is our comfort when the days seem dark. God is in control. It seems often He allows things to get really dark so people will be willing to seek after Him. Then the light breaks forth and a new era begins. We are in a time where we will either have a repeat of the Great Awakening and turning to God or a repeat of the French Revolution with its horrors. The choice is ours, which path will we take?
14. What are the five modes of punishment in Biblical Law? DEATH PENALTY, WHIPPING, RESTITUTION, FORCED LABOUR UNTIL DEBT IS PAID, CONFINEMENT IN CITY OF REFUGE pg. 228
15. The PRISON system is a humanistic device. pg. 228
The prison system is cruel punishment. Full restitution by the criminal - even if that means his life - is the only way for a just society.
16. Between Biblical law and humanistic law there is an unbridgeable gap and an unceasing WARFARE. pg. 229
17. The “eye for eye” principle means that the PUNISHMENT must fit the CRIME. pg. 229
18. There are two kinds of capital punishment:
A. GOD directly exercises judgment and death.
B. God DELEGATES to man the duty of inflicting death. pg. 230
Because God states that no ransom can be made for a murderer, this leads some to believe that for other capital offences the death penalty was the maximum penalty but not necessarily required in every case.
19. Biblical law holds ANIMALS as well as men liable for murder charges. pg. 230
20. Biblical law has no plea of not guilty be reason of INSANITY. pg. 231
21. Biblical law has no privileged status before the law for a MINOR. pg. 231
Old enough to do the crime, old enough to do the time as the saying goes - although as we noted prison is not an appropriate punishment
22. The rights of the individual are being protected, provided the individual has committed a CRIME. pg. 234
23. List the offenses for which Biblical law requires the death penalty: MURDER, STRIKING OR CURSING A PARENT, KIDNAPING, ADULTERY, INCEST, BEASTIALITY, SODOMY, UNCHASTITY, RAPE OF A BETROTHED VIRGIN, WITCHCRAFT, HUMAN SACRIFICE, INCORRIGIBLE DELINQUENCY OR HABITUAL CRIMINALITY, BLASPHEMY, SABBATH DESECRATION, PROPAGATION OF FALSE DOCTRINES, SACRIFICING TO FALSE GODS, REFUSING TO ABIDE BY THE COURT DECISION, FAILING TO RESTORE THE PLEDGE OR BAILMENT. pg. 235
24. List the four methods of capital punishment: BURNING, STONING, HANGING, THE SWORD pg. 235
Stoning seems to be the most popular method, probably because the witnesses had to partake in the execution and stoning allows multiple executioners.
25. The penalties, together with the Biblical faith which motivated them, worked to reduce CRIME. pg. 236
26. The law breaks down when the FAITH behind the law is gone. pg. 237
27. Either men and nations obey God’s laws, or God invokes the DEATH PENALTY against them. pg. 237
It has been observed that a civilization is destroyed with three generations of giving itself over to sexual immorality. We are approaching the third generation since the sexual revolution of the 1960’s. Destruction is on the horizon if we do not have genuine national repentance.
28. To use cases of injustice to DESTROY the law is itself a very great and deadly act of injustice. pg. 238
Origins of the State: Its Prophetic Offices
29. The state represents God’s ministry of JUSTICE, the fullness of which is seen in HEAVEN and HELL. pg. 240
Humanists hate the reality of Hell because they want to sin without consequence. They want to live in rebellion and irresponsibility. They want to live in a fantasy world. But that world will one day crash with reality and reality will win. They will face the Almighty God and answer for all their actions as will everyone outside of Jesus Christ.
30. The first and basic duty of the state is to further the Kingdom of God by recognizing the SOVEREIGNTY of God and His word and conforming itself to the law-word of God. pg. 240
31. PROTECTION is not a mere negation: it is a present and continual climate of peace and safety. pg. 241
32. This does not mean that the law is a developing thing but that man’s AWARENESS of its implications develops as new situations bring fresh light on the possible applications of the law. pg. 242
33. The first Pentecost was the CIVIL Pentecost at the ordination of the civil authorities. pg. 242
34. The office of civil magistrates, offices of state, are PROPHETIC offices, in that the civil officer must speak for God. pg. 243
This is one reason why we are to pray for our government leaders. They are to faithfully represent God in their sphere of authority. When they do not, they reap the fearful anger and judgment of God. Most of our leaders today promote humanism and their own agendas. We pray for their repentance and return to their prophetic office for if they do not, then not only are they misrepresenting God and destroying people’s lives, but they are headed for the worst torments of hell for eternity. The greater the responsibility, the greater the judgment.
“To Make Alive”
35. An important aspect of the duty to “make alive” as it appears in Scripture is ART. pg. 246
36. OPPRESSION is repeatedly cited as a particularly hateful sin in the sight of God. pg. 246
37. The only basis for our relationship with other men is God’s law, not our FEELINGS. pg. 247
38. In the COURTS, the poor are not to be favoured or disfavoured. pg. 247
39. In everyday living, the DESERVING poor, both natives and aliens, had a legal right to glean. pg. 247
40. GLEANING was hard work. pg. 248
41. Society, as Biblical law envisions it is competitive and free but not ATOMISTIC. pg. 249
42. In order to have true community, FAITH is necessary. pg. 250
43. The poor were to be aided in their needs, but aid could not be a SUBSIDY. pg. 251
Giving subsidy to the undeserving, like our current welfare states do, simply encourages laziness and irresponsibility.
44. A property owner had thus a general responsibility to remove occasions of HURT to legitimate persons on his land or in his home. pg. 252
A property owner is not responsible if an illegitimate person is injured on their premises. A thief who is injured on victim’s property assumes all the responsibility himself. To use a Scriptural phrase, his blood is on his own head.
45. Men and society are destroyed by FALSE charity. pg. 252
Welfarism is one way people and governments use to destroy people and gain more power and wealth. It is the subversion of Godly order and the oppression of the people under their control.
46. Since man lives in a fallen world, he has a task of RESTORATION. pg. 253
Hybridization and Law
47. Where LOVE is the answer, all law and order must give way to the imperative of love. pg. 254
48. Love without law is total PERMISSIVENESS. pg. 254
49. Old-fashioned fathers are thus Scripturally sound in declaring that they administer their DISCIPLINE out of love. pg. 254
50. To harm or destroy the FERTILITY of men, plants, and animals is to violate this law. pg. 255
51. The commandments clearly require a RESPECT for God’s creation. pg. 255
52. Homosexuality and bestiality were RELIGIOUS practices of the cults of chaos. pg. 256
53. Unequal yoking plainly means mixed MARRIAGES between believers and unbelievers. pg. 256
Inter-racial is not a comment on people of different skin colours marriage, but people coming from totally different backgrounds. Marriages to achieve a common purpose need to have a common foundation. This includes a common faith and is certainly made easier with a common background and culture. Paul also makes clear that this does not apply to one partner who converts to Christianity after being married. In such a case they are to stay with their partner, honouring the marriage covenant, unless their partner rejects or abandons them because of their new faith.
54. Respect for creation means recognizing that, because God is the Creator, all things have a PURPOSE in terms of Him. pg. 257
55. ALL insects and animals have their God-given place in the life-cycle. pg. 260
56. WEEDS have their place in God’s plan, in that they penetrate deep into the subsoil and bring necessary minerals to the top-soil. pg. 261
57. The world is not an ENEMY, but is God’s handiwork. pg. 262
58. Although the world is by nature essentially good, it is all the same a FALLEN world. pg. 262
59. Hybridization and unequal yoking involve a fundamental DISRESPECT for God’s handiwork. pg. 262
As always, in this course, there is a lot to think about! For the next lesson read Biblical Law pages 263 - 302 and answer the related questions. Memorize Ex. 20:13 and write Ex. 20:1-13 from memory. May the peace and grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
