Agape Feast Conversations: Week 27
Weekly round-up of new articles and news on the Internet worth reading.
“Has the Church Replaced Israel?” by Ben Davis. “The Church is not a novel institution nor a replacement for Israel, but the mature and redeemed assembly of God’s covenant people—rooted in the Old Testament, fulfilled in Christ, and extended to all nations. Through Christ, both Jew and Gentile are gathered into one body, the true Israel of God, heirs together of the promises, the covenants, and the inheritance once spoken to the patriarchs. The Gospel does not announce the abandonment of Israel, but the expansion and perfection of Israel in the Messiah. In Him, the dividing wall is torn down, and a new humanity is formed—united not by bloodline, but by faith.”
“Nothing is Unclean"? Examining Romans 14:14 (Interview w/ Rob Vanhoff)” by David Wilber.
“On the Origin of the Pork Taboo” by Andrew Lawler. As one who abides by kashrut, I found this article insightful.
“Bureaucrats Target Tutoring Startup After Homeschooling Surge” by Rod Lampard. The Australian government again attacking the God-given rights of those who don’t want to enrol their children into a broken and pagan educational system.
“New evidence for why King Josiah went to meet Pharaoh Necho in Megiddo” by Ran Silberman. I love biblical archaeology!
“SBC motion to ban female pastors fails with over 60% support” by Michael Gryboski. In the absence of biblical patriarchy, the trajectory goes from compromising complementarianism, to unbiblical egalitarianism, ending with sinful feminism.
“UK votes to decriminalize abortion” by LifeSiteNews. The UK government legalises child sacrifice on demand.
“Stripe and Substack Demand Authors’ Financial Details” by Robert Malone. Concerning. That might derail my intention of asking those subscribed to my Substack to prayerfully consider supporting my work here.
Blast from the Past:
“Is Jesus Michael the Archangel?” by Answering Adventism. An excellent book on the pre-incarnate Yeshua as the Angel of the Lord, I recommend: Christ Before the Manger: The Life and Times of the Preincarnate Christ by Ron Rhodes.
