Today, I got the 1st two 2011 issues of Bulletin for BIblical Research in the mail (21.1, 21.2). There is a review of my monograph, Worship That Makes Sense to Paul, in the 21.2 issue, written by Don Garlington. I appreciate the positive review and that he seemed to really “get” what the book was all about. My supervisors would be proud🙂 It is nice to feel a sense of appreciation from “the guild” for your hard work. Don – cheers to you!
Thanks, Nijay. Cheers in return from an “Old Durhamite.” I look forward to more. Don
Can I ask you to help me with the following questions on
righteousness?
1. Jesus suffered only physical death, not eternal death. How can
it be
said that Jesus bore the penalty for us?
2. Assuming Jesus cleansed all our sins for us with his blood, why
do the
curses including physical death, pain in labour etc still happen to
Christians even after they have been baptized?
3. Why are not infants and mentally incapacitated persons who are
not able
to believe in God by faith exempt from the curses?
It seems that as Jesus will return to judge us, we will still need to
suffer the curses pending his return. But if we are instantaneously
declared to be righteous by grace through faith if we believe in Jesus,
why do we still need to wait until the resurrection?
