Jude As The Eschatological Covenants in Chronological Order

Think of the outline below as a theatric script    written as an Apocalyptic narrative as God’s eschatological judgment unfolds through redemptive history from the beginning to the present day & beyond.   Edenic & Adamic 1  Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: Adamic & Noahic  2  May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Noahic & Abrahamic  3  Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.  4  For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Abrahamic & Mosaic  5  Now I want to remind you, although you ...

Creation & Covenant Part 3

Link to Part 1    Link to Part 2   Link to Part 4 

             Creation             

   Covenant                     

20 And God said, “Let the 

waters swarm with swarms 

of living creatures, 

and let birds fly above 

the earth across 

the expanse of the 

heavens.” 

21 So God created the 

great sea creatures 

and every living 

creature that moves, 

with which the 

waters swarm, according 

to their kinds, and 

every winged bird 

according to its kind. 

And God saw 

that it was good. 

22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful 

and multiply and fill

 the waters in the seas, 

and let birds multiply 

on the earth.” 

23 And there was 

evening and there 

was morning, the fifth day.

24 And God said, 

“Let the earth bring 

forth living creatures 

according to their kinds—livestock and 

creeping things and 

beasts of the earth 

according to their 

kinds.” And it 

was so. 25 And God 

made the beasts 

of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

Covenant Theology In Outline Form (Part 1)

This is the general outline of a suzerain covenant. Shema/Preamble Historical Prologue General Stipulations Specific Stipulations  Renewal, Document Clause Witnesses Victory Statement This outline appears repeatedly in Scripture.    It makes for a helpful Study Guide.     We ought to pay careful attention when this outline appears, insofar as every major biblical covenant takes this form.    Here are some helpful thoughts. The Bible teaches the 3 uses of the Law (& Gospel).     Understanding the 3 uses of the Law helps us as we study Deuteronomy & the Sermon on the Mount.   As Moses delivered God’s Law from Sinai, so Yeshua reveals God’s Law with a Gospel slant from the Mount of Olives.  Deuteronomy :  Preamble (1:1-5) Historical Prologue (1:6 - 4:43) General Stipulations (4:44 - 11:32) Decalogue 5 : 1 - 21  Specific Stipulations (12:1 - 26:19) Renewal, Document Clause (27:1 - 30:20)  Witnesses ...
