As in his other books, Wright mistakenly assumes that the Reformation view argues that God's essential righteousness-in other words, his own attribute of righteousness-is somehow given to believers. But this overlooks the crucial role of Jesus Christ as mediator in the traditional view: It is not God's attribute of righteousness, but the right-standing that results from a complete fulfillment of God's law, that is imputed to believers. It is Christ's obedience, not his.http://www.whitehorseinn.org/images/Horton-WrightReview.pdf
These Israel-specific laws are not intended to regulate the constitutions of common nations, but ultimately to play their part in a theocratic system that leads us ultimately to Christ and his everlasting kingdom. So you can't invoke the old covenant passages for common nations in this era in which Christ's kingdom is not identified with any geo-political nation.http://www.whitehorseinn.org/blog/2011/09/27/“why-can’t-i-own-canadiansâ€Â-rightly-dividing-the-word-of-truth/
