The Theonomic Position

“The Standard of God’s law.”
The only standard that God provides is biblical law. The moral standards (laws) of the Old Testament dispensation are still morally authoritative today along with New Testament teaching. Because of this, these standards as expressed in the word of God, provide the Christian with socio-political norms for modern culture. The theonomic argument is based on the premise of Covenant Theology, that there is continuity between Old and New Testament moral principles and regulations until God's revelation tells us otherwise, and therefore, the Old Testament law continues to offer us an inspired and reliable model for a Biblical civil moral code.
