A comment on an old post of mine has identified Chalke as an abuser of the Bible, in the way he has deliberately omitted a phrase from his quotation of Isaiah 53:5 – “the punishment that brought us peace was upon him.”
Dr. N. T. Wright (Bishop of Durham, Church of England) waxes eloquent: “You may salve your conscience by embracing Gnosticism . . . but if Caesar takes any notice at all, all he will do is sneer at you and go on his way to yet more triumphs . . .”
Catez Stevens agrees we are seeking to know the mind of God, “but I do not think human reason can attain this. That would be trying to enclose the infinite within the finite.” “We can begin by considering the spiritual reality behind the material world.”
“If one worm be a little exalted above another, by having more dust, or a bigger dunghill, how much he does make of himself! What a distance he does keep from those who are below him.” But in Christ meets infinite highness and infinite condescension.
“According to the Christian Post (UK), less than a quarter of Christians in the UK possess enough knowledge of the Bible to be able to place key events in the order they appear.” HT Jim Bublitz
