Of course, they always say we have "no response" to the text, but, they have also rarely ever taken the time to actually hear how we understand and honor this text. For those who wish a written discussion, please see the lengthy exegesis offered in The God Who Justifies.00:01:00 - Category: Exegesis - Link to this article -
