If man’s situation is the same before/after Jesus, then what is with the radical attitude shift in God?
I can’t identify a shift in God’s attitude in the New Testament. Man is under the same wrath before and after Jesus, it’s just that God isn’t dealing with man in terms of visible calamities, as he did with Sodom, Gomorrah, Egypt, and Israel. This is because the types and shadows of the Old Testament have been fulfilled in the New. Of course, the judgments in the Old are also typological of the Day of Judgment, but that hasn’t yet happened.
Thats got to be the best answer I’ve been offered yet. Thanks. You’ve given me enough to chew on. There ought to be more Christians with minds as clear and thorough.[/quote]
Thanks a lot.
