Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
It is my understanding that some duties are moral and natural and so binding on all, while other duties are positive, requiring special revelation to make them known. There are duties given by special revelation that are added on to the natural duties (like an established church) and are not binding of themselves on unbelievers. Nevertheless, it is everyone's obligation to repent and believe on Jesus, and Psalm 2 shows the universal obligation of kings to "kiss the Son." However, isn't this the kind of duty that can only be made known through special revelation (even a positive duty?)? If so, are those without special revelation under this duty? And if so in what manner are they? Clearly, once they heard the special revelation, they would be obligated.
Of course, if my understanding leading up to the concluding questions is incorrect, what part is wrong?
