Peter,

Tsk tsk.

You should know that theonomists believe that the Christianizing of nations will come through the preaching of the gospel, and not the institution of Mosaic law. Theonomy teaches that the preaching of the gospel and the conversion of souls will effect the change, a change that ought to (or in the case of Postmillenialist Theonomists, will) include the desire the abide by the law for civil society, as well as for the other arenas of life.

Even Gary Demar is adamant about that.

The view that theonomy means to pursue a political overthrow that will institute Old Testament law as a means of Christianizing the world is just error. No wonder you think "this is a distortion of what the Bible teaches ".

I hope I have clarified things for you?
