Sad what happened to Larry Dean Listened to this today! Two thoughts:
1. Has Larry realized that Christ's positive righteousness through his perfect life is just as important as his death? Were we “there” in his life as well as in his death, in the way he's defining it? If not, wouldn't that be an internal inconsistency? Is he talking about this any?
2. This confusion of the work of Christ and his church actually is exactly the sort of thing we would expect in a transgendered world, where the creation ordinance of male and female are deliberately blurred, confused, and swapped. Dean is collateral to the zeitgeist of the age, no matter how against transgenderism he might say that he is. Confusion over Christ and the church is the theological parallel and eschaton to confusion over the creation ordinance of male and female. Sadly, I anticipate this false teaching to gather steam in our passing and “affirming” age. Thank you for leading the charge against it, even at cost. In prayer for Dean and all those involved.
