"We understand the necessity of Christ’s death on the cross for the atonement of sins only when we see them in light of the Old Covenant practices and promises." (The Gospel is Bigger than You Think, Chapter 6, Anthony Delgado, 2024) https://t.co/E7yyAi9WLF
I've been a bit absent from SM finishing up the publication of The #Gospel is Bigger than You Think. Here's a teaser from Ch. 1. We're getting VERY close! Make sure to get on the Early-Bird list so you get an email when the book launches and updates on other features.
@DeanAbbott Liturgy this morning for starters and then see if my kids have anything in store. Yesterday was my daughter’s 16th so my guess is we won’t do much. Everyone’s pretty tired.
@Logos I think it’s important to think critically about the why of a moral issue not just the what of the issue, especially form a theological, symbolic perspective to help people understand why the issue exists in the heart of God.
@richardrohlin I don’t think Darling actually understands this issue anyway. Darling’s mistake is that he doesn’t realize there is a growing libertarian and anarchochristian influence in the SBC that doesn’t claim allegiance to the flag under the current regime or future potential options.
@DeanAbbott I suspect because the SBC — maybe we just speak this into being lol — affects a lot of the protestantism, but especially evangelicalism, interfaces with greater society.
@richardrohlin@JohnThe4Runner@Alypius_Loft Please do talk about this. I’m dying to hear your thoughts.
I’m SBC and could see accepting the Apostles Creed, but most SBs won’t acknowledge Christ’s descent to hell. With the Nicene, it’s just not baptistic in theology and if you modify a creed…it’s not a creed.
We believe in Jesus’s inaugurated Kingship and await his consummated Kingship when all things are made new. We proclaim that Christ is victorious when we look back to the cross. We proclaim that Christ is forever victorious when we look forward to God’s Eternal Kingdom.
