    OT and NT fire is always God’s wrath. (29:45). A momentary lapse? Noah did not know of fire as God’s wrath. Babel did not know of fire as wrath.

    John F,

    I didn’t say that God’s wrath is always symbolized as fire. But when fire is used symbolically, it’s God’s wrath. It became a standard metaphor after S&G.

    Jay,
    I thought that by downloading the mp3 files I might have a time to listen when I am not at my computer. As I click to download the immediate response is to stream the message, it does not give me the opportunity to save a file. I have experienced this on several of the lessons.

    Larry,

    Thanks for letting me know. WordPress “upgraded” and the mechanism changed. You now have to right click and select “Save link as” to download. I’ve gone back and added instructions to all the lessons.

    I would love to see these lessons in print as I am a person who underlines as I study. I would also like them in print so that it is easier to go back and review the lessons. Thanks for all the studying you do and sharing your knowledge of the Bible with others.

    Melanie,

    I’m sorry but there are no notes per se. I usually teach based on a rough outline in my head. I haven’t used detailed notes in decades. On the other hand, everything I cover in class has been covered in the blog — often more than once. Under the Categories drop-down menu, select Theology/The Afterlife, and you’ll get /category/index/theology-index/eschatology-theology-index/ (or just click on the link). It’s quite a lot of material.

    I refresh my recollections largely from the Salvation 2.0 series from last year. It won’t be in the same order, but will cover much of the same ground. The even older series at the same link will be a little repetitive but likely more detailed in their textual analysis. One benefit of the blog is it gives me space to delve into the hard questions. One benefit of teaching class is I can’t: I have to cut a lesson down to 40 minutes, which often makes for a better lesson.
