Only a law-order which holds to the primacy of God's law can bring forth true freedom, freedom for justice, truth, and godly life. Freedom as an absolute is simply an assertion of man's "right" to be his own god; this means a radical denial of God's law-order. "Freedom" thus is another name for the claim by man to divinity and autonomy. It means that man becomes his own absolute.
R.J. RushdoonyBut integration and equality are myths; they disguise a new segregation and a new equality...Every social order institutes its own program of separation or segregation. A particular faith and morality is given privileged status and all else is separated for progressive elimination.
R.J. RushdoonyThere can be no good character in civil government if there is none in the people. You cannot make a good omelet with bad eggs.
R.J. RushdoonyWhenever freedom is made into the absolute, the result is not freedom but anarchism. Freedom must be under law, or it is not freedom.
