Comment on The Law/Gospel Distinction is Under Attack by Theodore A. Jones

Theodore A. Jones — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:51:09 +0000

“It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the the law who will be declared righteous.” Rom. 2:13

FYI. A law has been added to the law because of Jesus’ crucifixion. No person will be declared righteous by God who refuses to obey this added law.

@Charlie, thanks for your comment.
“I don’t believe Riddleblog is saying that the church is not the Israel of God.”
If my post implied that, it is not what I meant. My only reservation is that I am not totally convinced that Israel is the type and that the church is the antitype. I know that this is probably the universal reformed view, but I am just not convinced. I am open to rebuke of course.

I don’t believe Riddleblog is saying that the church is not the Israel of God. Paul says that in Galatians 6:16. But Isaiah does say that the Christ is the Servant of God and is the true Israel. It’s a both/and and not an either/or:

“We [amillennarians] say: `Yes, the nation of Israel was the people of God in the old covenant. Now in the new covenant the believing church is the people of God.’ And thus we quickly run past (or we miss the blessed point entirely) the fact that we Christians are the Israel of God, Abraham’s seed, and the heirs to the promises, only because by faith, we are united to him who alone is the true Israel, Abraham’s one seed.” (See Strimple, “Amillennialism,” in Bock, ed., Three Views of the Millennium and Beyond, 89).

That’s from the article to which you linked.

Sincerely in Christ,

Charlie

I know I’m three years late, but Spurgeon said the same thing about Arminianism. FWIW.

Yeah, well the video itself will be a bit slower as well when I add more pictures, video, transitions, subtitles, etc. Any pictures that have anything to do with rock or mountains was taken around Pikes Peak or the Rocky Mountain National Park.

awesome ending to the video! We’ll have to go through the pictures a bit slower because a lot of them really interest me but I can’t figure out where in America you took them!

Yes, I will continue to update my blog. This is only the beginning. It is my hope that I will get to do this every year. Maybe not two weeks, but at least a week so that I may continue to meet people, hear their stories, and make conversation. I already made two Facebook friends while on this trip.
