Church?=Israel
Thursday, April 28th, 2005From TableTalk this morning, reflecting on 1Pt 2:9-10: The biblical view (which is sometimes mistakenly called “replacement theology”) does not say that the church “replaces” Israel.

How Many?

Ten but we’ll accept eight. How many audience members does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two. One to [...]
