“Debates over biblical language tend to come back around because the underlying question isn’t really about Greek roots. It’s about whether the Bible’s teaching on sexuality can be reinterpreted to fit modern assumptions. Huff pushed back on that framing directly” - C.Leaders

“Both in theology and in practice, we’ll get ourselves into trouble by picking between two equally true ideas. We make enemies of what should be friends…. Take the classic matter of how divine and human agency relate” - TGC

“The strength of Sloan’s argument comes with a necessary caveat…. he goes on to argue that Jesus, as Lord of the law, reestablishes the law and restores God’s people to a form of law observance. And this brings us to a few serious criticisms of Sloan’s work.” - 9 Marks

“Nowhere in Scripture do we see sentimental wishful thinking. What we see is mankind’s devastating separation from God; the death of countless sacrificial lambs; the hard, agonizing work of Christ’s redemption; the tangible nature of His resurrection; and the promise of coming judgment. At last we see the restoration of God’s ideal universe, fulfilling His plan of the ages, culminating in a resurrected people living with Him on a resurrected Earth.

“Out of 255 verses referencing emotion, one fifth (20%) are verses where Jesus teaches someone about how they ought to feel. Half of those references are about fear and/or anxiety.” - Don Johnson

“Mark immediately qualifies his statement, explaining that Jesus did, in fact, ‘lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them’! This signals that we’re dealing with something other than lack of power preventing Jesus from performing additional miracles.” - Word by Word
