Not on the Mantle
“Now that a person is converted, can we make distinctions in the text? Certainly we can distinguish imperatives from indicatives, laws from promises, and so on. But now that I saved, everything is contextualized within that grace. That grace surrounds everything, making it lovely. It is in that grace that we now stand.

The Divide Is Elsewhere
“So I affirm the three uses of the law, but I deny that the law should be used as a hermeneutical principle, whether conjoined with the gospel or not. What the text is saying can be determined apart from a law/gospel hermeneutic. What the text means for me cannot be determined apart from law/gospel considerations.”
