More quotes by R.J. Rushdoony
To control the future requires the control of education and of the child. Hence, for Christians to tolerate statist education, or to allow their children to be trained thereby, means to renounce power in society, to renounce their children, and to deny Christ's Lordship over all of life.
R.J. Rushdoony
The result of becoming tolerant towards sin is that we become intolerant towards God and His Word.
R.J. Rushdoony
Our basic problem today is that we have two religions in conflict, humanism and Christianity, each with its own morality and the laws of that morality.
R.J. Rushdoony
In the name of equal rights, women are being stripped of the protections of the family and given no place except the perverse competition of a sexual market in which increasingly shock, deviation, and aggressiveness command a premium . . .
R.J. Rushdoony
There can be no tolerance in a law-system for another religion. Toleration is a device used to introduce a new law-system as a prelude to a new intolerance... Every law-system must maintain its existence by hostility to every other law-system and to alien religious foundations or else it commits suicide
R.J. Rushdoony
All religions segregate also...every religion asserts an order of truth and every other order is regarded as a lie.
R.J. Rushdoony
All too many churchmen view the undisciplined & amoral products of statist education as evidences of the failure of these schools. On the contrary, they are evidences of their success.
R.J. Rushdoony
Biblical law permits voluntary slavery because it recognizes that some people are not able to maintain a position of independence . . . The law is humane and also unsentimental. It recognizes that some people are by nature slaves and will always be so.
R.J. Rushdoony
The only true order is founded on Biblical Law. All law is religious in nature, and every non-Biblical law-order represents an anti-Christian religion.
R.J. Rushdoony
We cannot use our thoughts and feelings as a standard: only God’s Word is the test.
R.J. Rushdoony
Segregation or separation is thus a basic principle of Biblical Law with respect to religion and morality. Every attempt to destroy this principle is an effort to reduce society to its lowest common denominator.
R.J. Rushdoony
The state is a bankrupt institution. The only alternative to this bankrupt 'humanistic' system is a God-centered government.
R.J. Rushdoony
Humanistic law aims at saving man and remaking society. For Humanism, salvation is an act of the state.
R.J. Rushdoony
Few things are more commonly misunderstood than the nature and meaning of theocracy. It is commonly assumed to be a dictatorial rule by self-appointed men who claim to rule for God. In reality, theocracy in Biblical law is the closest thing to a radical libertarianism that can be had.
R.J. Rushdoony
God in His law requires the death penalty for homosexuals.
R.J. Rushdoony
Man lives in time but his life transcends time.
R.J. Rushdoony
Christianity is completely and radically anti-democratic it is committed to spiritual aristocracy.
R.J. Rushdoony
People do not avoid the Bible because it is difficult to understand as much as because what they understand condemns their conscience and throws light on dark corners in their lives which they prefer to keep dark.
R.J. Rushdoony
History has never been dominated by majorities, but only by dedicated minorities who stand unconditionally on their faith.
R.J. Rushdoony
Do we need more laws? God forbid! We need more righteousness, more freedom, and more godly men -- and fewer laws.
