The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead isn't just a historical fact, it's a present day reality.
He didn't just rise long ago, He is still risen today, and will be forevermore.
“Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, Unless the Lord has commanded it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth?”
(Lam. 3:37-38 NAS95)
@ConceptualJames When they conflate micro evolution (adaptation) with “macro evolution” and present finch beak size changes as evidence that humans share a common ancestor with sharks and bananas.
@bendellwerry But this is not so in the New Covenant.
In the New we’re not dealing with Abraham’s physical seed any longer.
The New is with Abraham’s spiritual seed only, both Jew and Gentile, so long as the person has the faith of Abraham, in the Seed of Abraham (Jesus!), they’re his seed.
@bendellwerry Not merely but also.
Both Ishmael (the son of the flesh) and Isaac (the son of the promise) has to get circumcised. Because they were Abraham’s physical seed.
Both Jacob (whom God loved) and Esau (whom He hated) were circumcised. Because they were Abraham’s physical seed.
@jamesrwoodtheo1 Can you unpack that for me a little bit?
It sounds like he’s saying we shouldn’t choose what church to join but what… join whichever random one?
@ThinkInst @InspiringPhilos That’s right.
Paul said that God “made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth”
And Genesis says Adam named his wife Eve because she was “mother of all the living”.
@st_turretin@DRod3186@VeilCassandra The question was if you believe that the new covenant is really just a new administration of the same covenant of grace.
Seems clear that this is what covenant theology teaches, right?
