Thanks for sharing. So glad you found it helpful!

The reason I didn't want to get into what "wrath" precisely *is* in the pod w Preston is bc it's besides the point since we know what it *isn't*! PSA needs Jesus's death to = substituting for God's "wrath" to each person at the final judgment. But there's a 0% chance that's right.

Given what Paul’s judgment texts say, it seems clear that being delivered from "the wrath (to come)" (Rom 5:9; 1 Thess 1:10) ≠ avoiding God’s judgment on our individual actions. Therefore, Jesus is *not* saving us from personal accountability before the divine tribunal.

At that point in the convo I was trying to explain why “wrath” in Rom 5:9 isn’t making Jesus’s death the substitution for what we must all face before the judgment throne (e.g., Rom 14:10–12; 1 Cor 3:12–15; 2 Cor 5:10; cf Eph 6:8; Col 3:24–25).

Thank you for taking a chance on it! Glad you found it stimulating.

It’s still early. The book isn’t even potty trained yet.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

No :/

The way children in families are treated is the way ppl in churches will be treated is the way ordinary ppl in communities will be treated.

Ppl who envision themselves as agents/mouthpieces of God & believe God wants them to procure compliance via top-down force are dangerous.
