Wherein Natural Law Approves Sodomy

Start the video at the 2minute mark and learn from this intellect the value of Natural Law.

Also, as pertaining to the value of Natural Law a Senior Bishop in the Church of England tells us that it is no longer ‘self-evident,’  that Natural law teaches how it is we can know what a woman is.

“A senior bishop of the Church of England said this week the Church has no ‘official definition’ of a woman amidst an evolving understanding of gender in the contemporary world.

Adam Kendry, a lay member of the General Synod, the Anglican Church’s legislative body, posed a written question: “What is the Church of England’s definition of a woman?” during the July 8-12 meeting of the synod.
In his response, Dr. Robert Innes, the Church’s Bishop in Europe and chairman of the Faith and Order Commission, declared there is currently “no official definition” of a woman.

“There is no official definition, which reflects the fact that until fairly recently definitions of this kind were thought to be self-evident, as reflected in the marriage liturgy,” Bishop Innes stated.

When the quote above notes, “were thought to be self evident,” this is another way of saying that Natural Law does not teach us what a woman is since the idea of “self-evident” is a natural law category.

Natural law sucks. It is only as good as the presuppositions one brings to whatever they are observing.

The problem with Natural Law is not that God’s world doesn’t declare His handiwork. The problem with Natural Law is that man is in epistemological rebellion against God and as such refuses to own as true what they can’t escape ontologically knowing as image bearers of God. So, appealing to Natural Law as a means by which social orders can be governed as existing among fallen men is just the kind of logic one would expect from those getting a degree from Wesmin-Cal (Escondido) having sat under the tutelage of that faculty which gives one the likes of David Ven Drunnen Q. Scott Clark, and Hike Morton.

You’d think smart guys like Stephen Wolfe would recognize this.
