But I didn't end up using it, so I excised it from the weblog version. The second verse, from Revelation, I was going to use until I realised most modern translations and exegetes refer the "from the foundation of the world" phrase to qualify "written" not the verb "slain".Fr Matthew Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386951752314314095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-42846616044815901852009-04-01T22:02:00.000-04:002009-04-01T22:02:00.000-04:00Fr.

Kirby:<BR/><BR/>Scripture itself rather explicitly balances the once-for-all sufficiency and finality of the Sacrifice of the Cross in relation to its eternal timelessness:<BR/><BR/>For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Hebrews 9:24-26.<BR/><BR/>And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8.<BR/><BR/>welshmannwelshmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021662418461137766noreply@blogger.com
