And Sakic beats Miikka Kiprusoff for the goal!

So, as will be said with every win the Avs have combined with a Flames loss, the Avs' playoff hopes live another day. It's pretty exciting, and I just had to make an announcement of sorts. Sakic scored a goal and had three assists.
Anyway, I did my sermon yesterday, and I am getting ready to turn in my Escapism paper right now. I'm just waiting for Kinkos to finish the fancy copy. Two huge weights out of the way.
So my Prophetic Literature class with Aimes yesterday was really good. We were talking about Zepheniah, and one of the things Aimes talked about was the concept of OT Theology. Basically, the difference between OT Theology and NT Theology is OT Theology is a historical theology. In other words, it's the theology people had in the Old Covenant, whereas NT Theology is theology we live by today. It differs because Jesus was the sacrifice for our sins, so we don't have to live by the rules of the Old Covenant in the same way. Anyhoo, Aimes is one of my favorite profs here because he's so liberal. He's a Christian, and he's not like post-modern and scientology or something gay like that, but his views on Biblical interpretation are pretty liberal. I love it, because it's a different way of thinking about things. I don't necessarily subscribe to everything he believes, but it gets me thinking, which is cool. I don't really like conservative theology.
Okay, so, we were talking about OT Theology, and he's explaining the difference between "everything is relative" (EXTREMELY Post Modern, basically what people say when they don't want other people to make them feel bad about crap that they're doing) and what I can only describe as contextual criticism. Basically, his point was that in the Bible, especially in the OT, certain things that happen are totally situational, or depend on the context. The example he made was murder. If one looked at Abraham killing Issac (God tells Abraham to kill his son Issac, and at the very last second, tells him to stop, because he wanted to see if Abraham would follow God regardless... that's a loose overview) one could justify killing children. Obviously it's not okay to kill children, and that's not what the story is saying, but if one were to look at the teachings of the OT from a black and white stand point, one could justify it.
So yeah, it's this really cool concept, that I think I'm going to do my paper on. I stayed after class and kind of brain stormed with him, and it was really cool. I guess there's this verse in 2 Cor. that quotes a passage from Deut., but takes it out of context. And on top of that, apparently the NASB version quotes it in context, because they saw it as a mistake. I don't know what the dilly yo is, but I'm really excited, and wanted to share. :-) So yeah, that's my story.
