Although I would find myself solidly within the warm cozy confines of reformed theology I also do believe that salvation lies not through belief in Luther or Calvin but in Jesus Christ. I expect to see many, to borrow a Catholic phrase "separated brethren" in Heaven. You just might arrive there a little later since I'm not planning on making a stopover in purgatory ;).<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I'll be amazed on the other side about how much I got wrong, but I trust that the same Spirit of truth is guiding us both in our quest to know God better.Derikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144420670062606943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970772341265505777.post-33024103566353262492009-03-13T19:07:00.000-07:002009-03-13T19:07:00.000-07:00Ya sorry Derik if I appear defensive lol it just s...Ya sorry Derik if I appear defensive lol it just seems like a rarity to have someone not telling me I'm an unsaved heretic, so I get a little edgy. Good luck with the Galatians series, it's an amazing book, so much to discuss from justification to the relation between law and gospel (or law of moses vs law of Christ), marriage, fruits of the spirit, etc. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to check out Westerholm's blog. I'll probably end up in Mac divinity so I should get to know his stuff.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Derik.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752373297874435269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970772341265505777.post-10235765041994434532009-03-13T13:44:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:44:00.000-07:00By the way it's pretty scary to preach in galatian...By the way it's pretty scary to preach in galatians when we have one of the top protestant experts on Pauline epistles at our church. His name is Stephen Westerholm and he teaches at McMaster University. Here's one of his articles:<BR/><BR/>http://www.ctsfw.edu/events/symposia/papers/sym2006westerholm.pdfDerikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144420670062606943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970772341265505777.post-67944791304909562612009-03-13T13:29:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for the clarification Andrew.

We're preaching through Galatians right now and the thought crossed my mind as I was reading through your blog posting.<BR/><BR/>Of course Paul would have felt as if he was running his race in vain if he was teaching Christ's sufficiency apart from the OT Law and Peter and the church in Jerusalem were teaching (or at least modeling) something different. His point in retelling his confrontation of Peter was to say that Peter was in error and recognized it and there is no disagreement between them on this matter.Derikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144420670062606943noreply@blogger.com
