It’s cool when some of us were/are arriving at similar points independently. I have appreciation for both Heiser and Bates but while I listened to them lecture since coming to these positions have never read either of them.
Was really thinking and struggling through the whole faith/works issue and believing loyalty or allegiance really cut the Gordian knot. Especially when you consider how Abraham or any ancient Israelite “believing” (pistis) saved them.
I see y’all quoting Heiser! Supernatural realm and then Salvation by Allegiance Alone is a great next step by Matt Bates
