Thank you very much brother for your welcome and your very careful points made about my writing piece.

I wrote it up rather quickly and right off the top of my head, but that is not a good enough excuse for sloppiness!

I shall work upon editing it, in order that I present the necessary balance upon the two fold aspect of Christ's righteousness, as you so accurately picked up upon.

I agree with your comments entirely, and as one who has been discussing (on a side note!) "New Perspectivism" for over 4 years, I should have been more careful. Go figure!

At times, when we try to provide an apologetic response to one or two particular errors, we can sometimes present a corrective that itself leaves out some necessary information!

Arthur Pink warned about that very thing when he first wrote the "Sovereignty of God" so many years ago.

I will re-word the response to include what you have brought to my attention.

Also, not to justify what I have said, the reason I probably focused more upon the passive aspect, was more because Mr Ponter has a problem with actual "propitiation before God", and not so much of a problem with the active obedience aspect.

I kind of addressed or emphasised the completed and substitutionary aspect before the alter of God, and not so much upon the active obedience in the life of Jesus.

Do you understand what I mean?

Blessings
Mark
