In this episode, we quickly review Luther’s letter regarding the question of whether the King of England should be free to divorce the Queen. In this letter he deals with differences and conflicts within and between divine law and natural law, as well as Moses’ civil law for Old Testament Israel and the positive law of the 16th century as it relates to marriage and divorce.
The new material (which follows page 2-3 of the first handout below) is an overview of the Bible’s condemnation of homosexuality in both the Old and New Testaments.

Review: The Divine Law is propagated through both revealed law in the Holy Scriptures and natural law written upon the heart. The Divine law as found in the Old Testament has three classes: Ceremonial, Civil, and Moral.
“For millennia, marriage was inextricably linked to the one thing that only an opposite-sex couple can do: procreate” (p.4)
“The basic argument is that States formalize and promote marriage, unlike other fulfilling human relationships, in order to encourage potentially procreative conduct to take place within a lasting unit that has long been thought to provide the best atmosphere for raising children” (p.4)
Martin Luther’s response shows appropriate ways to address differences and conflicts within and between divine law, natural law, and the positive law of the 16th century. Luther speaks to moral law, Moses’ civil law for Old Testament Israel, civil law(in the 16th), and natural law as it relates to marriage and divorce.
