“Here beyond men's judgments all covenants were brittle.”

“The two men stared at each other. Assumptions were made, judgments rendered, dicks measured.”

“Oh, my gods. There were furies in the Covenant.”

“The bicovenantal structure of the promise and administrative covenants provides the key for understanding the unity and diversity in God's covenantal dealings with men. Unity and continuity are founded on the promise covenants that secure it. The elements of diversity and discontinuity are found in the administrative covenants. But as explained [earlier], the discontinuity [within the administrative covenants] is not theological or ethical, but ceremonial and typological. The law of God, in terms of its ethical demands, does not pass away, nor is it abolished by a new administrative covenant.”

“And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. (St. John 3:19)”

“We are all honorable men here, we do not have to give each other assurances as if we were lawyers.”
