@MattWalshBlog C.S. Lewis actually strongly insisted that Aslan is in fact meant to be Jesus Himself, so even the argument that "it's not Jesus" isn't a valid one.
@michaeljknowles Respectfully have to disagree. I don't really know or care how much of it is actually Integralism. What scares me as a voter is a small but growing cadre of voices who sound suspiciously like Lenin with incense who see Catholics as useful idiots. Love the show!
@SpencerKlavan I think the biggest issue with this might be more the immersion problem the word choice creates. Prior to the 1900s the word "dad" in particular was largely considered baby talk and only really caught on as something adults said in the 20th century. So it's jarringly modern.
@rabbriansamuel I think it's an excellent exegetical tool because it gives us an idea of how the translators, and by extension the Jewish people at the time, understood the Scriptures. Translation choice is never 1:1 so there's always an element of interpretation.
@Markbhere2@rabbriansamuel Verse 33: “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the LORD: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."
Remind me of the Hebrew word for "law" again?
@Markbhere2@rabbriansamuel James explicitly states that the idea that Paul is telling Jews not to follow the Law of Moses is a lie. In that same passage.
@DazzerG123@rabbriansamuel Who was the bride before the Church was formed? Or did you think Paul invented the imagery of the congregation as the bride? The book of Hosea alone is steeped in the imagery and Israel is accused of adultery for chasing other gods. The Church is part of that, not the whole.
@rabbriansamuel He also goes into a multi-paragraph tabernacle metaphor in the same book. So yeah: definitely a Jewish community thinking in Jewish categories. Otherwise he would have to EXPLAIN.
@shroompolitics @DJimRussell Ah yes how could I forget that immediately upon reading from the scroll of Isaiah Christ sacrificed a chicken 🙄 Learn the difference between a Temple and Synagogue. Also Ashkenazi and Sephardim both share more DNA with Mizrahi than one another
