I am a Canadian, married with kid, and working in Hong Kong. I usually answer posts from a reformed / protestant / evangelical perspective.
People I have encountered on this site seem to be a ‘whole bunch of good people’. Even those who sharply disagree with my own point of view.
I am a huge sinner but am happy knowing God's grace will keep me in his grip.

What is the status of the Law in the Messianic Age? Sorry I do not know how to attempt an answer because the question seems to presuppose a modern dispensation type of 'messianic age' assumed in the expected answer. This ideas was not imagined in any sense by the first hearers of the verses you quote. I prefer to identify what the meaning was with the first hearers before trying to understand anything beyond that, so I can't start anywhere. If you choose a New Testament verse that might have been understood as indicating a future 'Messiahnic Age' different from the 'messianic age' we currently live in and different from what the Jews expected? |

1 Corinthians 13:12: “For now we see through a glass, darkly” @Brilliant - Oh I guess if you have never been to a 'house of mirrors' at a circus or carnival you might not get it. One mirror makes you look short and fat, anothre mirror makes you look tall and thin, another makes you head fat and big fat lips, etc. Its juts a crazy warped mirror thing at carnivals in the US and other places where you get cotton candy, popcorn etc. |

Are there intra-textual supports for a politicized reading of Revelation? I do not know if you are still around but I finally posted an answer. Thanks for leading me to this book it was very good. |

How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? @MonicaCellio - Actually I appreciated your comments Monica, it pried into where my view really stads, so I re-wroded my answer with less reliance on just the Hebraism. Thanks for keeping me honest with myself :) |

How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? @MonicaCellio - I do not totally base my thinking from the article, its just a sample. The fact that 26 hours can properly mean three days is enough for me to realize that idiomatic usage is going on. Even when I say ‘I saw you two days ago’ what does that actually mean? I think this might be a proverbial red herring. I do not even know if people used to ask about it this in the past. Besides my trusty Jewish historian, Alfred Edersheim does not even bother to notice the issue. If a professor of Hebrew history isn’t bothered, neither am I. Sorry if I don’t have a better answer, no motivation. |
