This lecture speaks to things I have never been able to put into words.  I am so grateful for his obedience to his calling to learn and teach!

The weird sound problems happen again (46:50), and Tom picks up on it. I wonder what is going on?

I have sensed these truth  and have seen glimpses of them,  but have not heard them articulated so beautifully. What a rich feast. I am hungry for more. Thank you for airing these lectures so that we may continue to grow in understanding. I knew decades ago that the goal of the cross was not about going to heaven after death but the coming of Heaven down to Earth, where righteousness and peace will rule the nations through Christ and His faithful servants. Isaiah  52 and 53 are worn out in my Bible. So beautiful is our God.

A most complete and thrilling account of the follow up to the the scriptures following Jesus death and resurrection.

I have been praying for the Holy Spirit to teach me about prophecy and end times, because none of those I had heard seemed to fit scriptures. I would read testimonies of people in the Middle East and Africa having dreams, visions,and encounters with Jesus. So I learned He is here, but also on His throne. I learned that fear stifles faith, so I pray asking for His perfect love to cast out my fears and mature my faith. These lessons by NT Wright are part of the answers to my prayers. These are not what the majority of western churches are teaching. Most teach psychology, tolerance , refer to the church as a hospital for sick people, and so most are filled with unredeemed, un sanctified sinners who are being told they are saved. Paul warned not to associate with such sinners, not at all meaning the world, because then we would have to leave the world. Today, to not   associate with such sinners as he named, we would have to leave the church! I am listening to these sermons and praying for understanding. May the Holy Spirit help the church to wake up and stop following the spirit of this world rather than the Holy Spirit of Jesus.

"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advance one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth." - Thomas Jefferson

Dr Wright affirms the significance of Israel and the temple. A huge aspect of this significance is the positive imagery of the coming together of “heaven and earth” in the temple. Thankfully, he now 49:46 ff frees us to see that Israel’s (temple) significance is no less in its embodiment as and enactment of the real powers of evil than in its representation of the presence/absence of God. Both meet in Israel, specifically in the temple which sought the destruction of The Christ with more evil fervency than Rome did. Dr Wright seemed (seemed) to want to save the positive sacred significance of the historical Israel, as less “pagan” than the nations. Israel had and has no greater merit than the nations. Its history demonstrates grace not inherent merit. That it was chosen to enact and justify God’s love in and for our world by his coming in Christ is testimony to grace, not merit. The temple falls. The glory had departed. Apart from Christ, Israel (Judea) is just another (pagan) nation; because of Christ, the whole world is now under the Lordship of the Son of the Father. My baker, my barista, my bus driver, my haematologist, my enemy … all are governed by this Lord.

Whyn't view it as if crow never returned to feast on carcasses yet that dove with fig 🌿 in beak..

Did jesus drive a car ?

1: why a person introducing a person introducing a person, to introduce the speaker?
2: Highland Park 21 yo is a particularly yummy drop.3
3: his swipe at those who reject Darwinism is misplaced. Darwin proposed, and his followers reinforce this; that the cosmos 'made' itself and is completely defined in material terms, which at best merges the personal creator god into the creation, de-personalizing it while de-reifying him, rather than his communicated distinction from the creation while active and present within it: the very point of Genesis 1 (apart from its many other points).

When does the lecture start?  I cannot believe the idiocy

34:36 Wright saying 'go to heaven instead' shows he doesn't know the Bible as no-one is going to heaven as Jesus is coming to Earth to make it a happy place for humans to live.

33:55 referring to Jesus as a Jewish prophet is no better than Muslims.

Too much prattling intended to please other theologians.
