Frequently Asked Questions
What does “pronomian” mean?
The term pronomian means “pro-law” and stands in contrast to antinomian (“anti-law”). Pronomian theology or pronomianism is a theological position held by Christians and Messianic Jews who affirm the ongoing validity and applicability of the Torah (the Law of Moses).

What is the Torah?
The Torah may refer either to the first five books of the Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—or to the commandments given to God’s people through the prophet Moses. In Hebrew, the word Torah means “instruction.” When Christians and Messianic Jews talk about “keeping Torah,” we mean following the commandments given in the Law of Moses.
Didn’t Jesus Fulfill the Law?
When Jesus said that he came to fulfill the Law, he made clear that this did not mean abolishing it (Matthew 5:17). So whatever “fulfill” entails, it cannot mean that he nullified the Law of Moses. He continues by affirming that the Law will remain in effect as long as heaven and earth exist and calls his followers to keep the commandments (Matthew 5:18–19). Many scholars argue that, in this context, to fulfill the Law means to carry it out fully and to teach it faithfully (cf. Matthew 5:19).

Is Pronomianism a denomination?
Pronomianism is not a denomination but rather a theological position and approach to Scripture that affirms the ongoing validity of the Law of Moses and seeks to practice its commandments. It can be embraced by believers within any denomination. Learn more here.
