NT Wright in this <B><I>INTRODUCTORY</B></I> essay.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Phil -- I was wondering why you didn't say one word about what Parbar means. Or Cain's wife... blonde? Or brunette? And what about the days of creation. Were they EST, PST, or something else? And the little horn in Daniel's vision: could that be a flugelhorn?<BR/><BR/>Really, Phil; if you keep up this bad habit of not saying everything that could be said in every post you do about anything... well, I just don't know <I>what</I> we'll have to do with you!<BR/><BR/>< /s >DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1148086163752266842006-05-19T17:49:00.000-07:002006-05-19T17:49:00.000-07:00"Dr Thomas" (or is it Will again?) suggests that L...<B>"Dr Thomas"</B> (or is it Will again?) suggests that Luther's understanding of the phrase "the righteousness of God" was <I>"somewhat novel."</I><BR/><BR/>Short answer: NT Wright's interpretation of the phrase is a whole lot MORE novel than Luther's.<BR/><BR/>And even if we started with the definition of <I>righteousness</I> you propose, what you suggest the passage "appears to say" makes little sense in this context.<BR/><BR/>Speaking frankly: what New Perspectivists have to do to this text in order to make fit their system rivals the way Zane Hodges bowdlerized James 2.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll get to that, I hope. This is the first of a series. Did you notice that? There's a lot more than "one thing" left unaddressed by this short post.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Incidentally, why don't you post with your real name, or at least a more suitable pseudonym? I have the utmost respect for Dr. Thomas, and it's irritating to see you use his name to post ideas that we both know he would find abominable.Phil Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649092052031518426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1148084221362535352006-05-19T17:17:00.000-07:002006-05-19T17:17:00.000-07:00For anyone interested, Phil deposited some nuggets...For anyone interested, Phil deposited some nuggets of wisdom in our combox at our blog: http://mongrelhorde.blogspot.com/2006/05/sixth-circle.html<BR/><BR/>Keep fightin' the good fight, Phil.

With related matters such as the substitutionary atonement coming under fire on a growing level, this series will be very timely and a good reminder. <BR/><BR/>As to the comments you've been reading, it does no harm for everyone to let down their hair and laugh once in a while.

Why don't I just hang it up? It's just my little way of keeping myself sharp, buried in the precious Word of God, and, well, to "always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks [me] a reason for the hope that is in [me], with meekness and fear."<BR/><BR/>OTOH, this blog has given me some great ammunition of my own in replying to some of the outlandish posts these guys upload.

I look forward to the series--it will help me "give an answer to every man" (1 Peter 3:15) as I deal with the characters in the Bible Study Conference I still moderate. I have just about one of each:<BR/><BR/>the "science proves evolution and Ken Ham is a nutcase" Catholic; <BR/><BR/>the "I divorced my wife, left my family, and don't attend church because the Spirit teaches me everything I need to know" floater;<BR/><BR/>the "all we have to do is love one another and we'll please God bcause people have been hurt by pastors" charismatic;<BR/><BR/>the "Jesus didn't exist, the apostles made stuff up, and God told me all about Himself directly" inventor;<BR/><BR/>and the "we don't worship Mary and where did you get all that rubbish" Roman Catholic.<BR/><BR/>An interesting group, eh?Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534421623031122881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1148054471413126292006-05-19T09:01:00.000-07:002006-05-19T09:01:00.000-07:00Looking forward to it, Phil.
