I have a question about Chapter 19 Paragraph 4 of the 2LBC of 1689. It states;
To the people of Israel He also gave sundry judicial laws which expired when they ceased to be a nation. These are not binding on anyone now by virtue of their being part of the laws of that nation, but their general equity continue to be applicable in modern times.
In the copy I have, it lists 1 Corinthians 9:8-10 as the Scripture support for Paragraph 4. It states;
8 Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. (ESV)
Can some please help me understand how 1 Corinthians 9:8-10 is the "proof text" for the 2LBC of 1689 Chapter 19 Paragraph 4?
Thank you!
