@jacob_allee The election of Israel argument makes no sense, given the context. Election to what, exactly? To vocation? This makes no sense of Paul’s lament. Paul really wishes himself to be cut off from Christ because gentiles are the main missionary force and not ethnic Israel as a whole?
@jarsofKlay The emptying involves status not ontology. In light of Roman virtue culture and the cursus honorum, Christ willing descended the social ladder from the top to the bottom. In demonstrating true selfless love and virtue, He was exalted back to the top of the public social ladder.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Andrew Payne to Founders Seminary this fall as an Adjunct Professor of Greek and Modern Theology.

He earned his Ph.D. in 2023 from Southern Evangelical Seminary, where he wrote on natural law theory and theosis. Dr. Payne has strong academic training in both Greek and Latin, which supports his teaching and research.
His academic work is wide-ranging.He has presented at professional conferences on topics including Reformed theology, apologetics, Molinism, Søren Kierkegaard, psychoanalysis, and early medieval Anglo-Saxon poetry. He has also published with the Davenant Institute, the Christian Apologetics Journal, and an upcoming three-part series with Genealogies of Modernity.
Dr. Payne will serve as an adjunct professor at Founders Seminary, where he will primarily teach Greek and Modern Theology, drawing on his expertise in the classical languages and historical theology. Pray for Dr. Payne and the seminary as he transitions into this role.

@writeontheedg3 A God who is a power among powers and has to be clever to outsmart the other powers is not the God of classical theism. Divinity is not a genus of which God is a species (even the greatest of them).
I'm not a Heiser hater (I actually think a lot of his scholarship is helpful), but the below is a reason to read Heiser with discernment. Undermining the classical doctrine of God is dangerous.
Many hate Heiser’s work because it destroys the possibility of a deterministic Creator, and shapes God as a Power among powers, a God who co-creates, who longs for His Creation to be healed - and had to be clever to outsmart the other powers to bring that healing about.
It’s the greatest story ever to be told… and we get to help our Father write it!
The things that @dgh5391 posts about regarding the books he’s reading and things he’s learning for seminary are all the things I wish I was made to read and learn about while I was in seminary.
