How about a compare/contrast of dispensationalism vs. covenant theology, as well as tying in the Jacob/Esau reconciliation to our treatment of fellow Christians who have wronged us in light of Paul’s steps for throwing people out of the church?
@badtimin - You got it!
@jawood2005 - I don’t know enough about Covenant theology to give a good articulation of the two divergences. And as far as Esau and the Pauline reconciliation model, I have a feeling I shouldn’t actually be taking this seriously
@NachDemGeist - I was serious, though… *sniff*
How about I write up something small about it as a guest contributor?
@jawood2005 - Dude, don’t you have your own blog? :รพ
And I guess you could do a guest piece. I guess. I dunnor.
