    The book of Hebrews addresses this line of questioning pretty directly. Also, in Romans 3:21-26 Paul talks about how Christ was the method of OT's salvation.

    The second time I read the Bible through was trying to find Jesus in the Old Testament - it had bothered me - at what exact moment did the Jews, who were previously God's Chosen people, have to convert to Christianity to avoid hell? So I read the OT looking for Jesus to know what they would have been responsible to know. But mainly what I found was that in the same way that I'd stopped believing in Santa Claus, I stopped believing in Jesus…

    The book of Hebrews addresses this line of questioning pretty directly. Also, in Romans 3:21-26 Paul talks about how Christ was the method of OT's salvation.

    21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

    Totally agree. It's also something that is very hard to measure so it won't be on any KPI sheets.

    I appreciate the share. A lot of highlights are that because of the possible controversy around what happened, so I'm sure that could easily garner the appropriate quality discussions desired.

    I didn't know about the ironman change. I don't particularly go after an achievement, but I always feel accomplished when I see one pop up! I will likely have to play again in order to actually "win" in Iberia because right now I own way too much land and 75%+ has to be my culture if I am to end the struggle...I have like 40ish or so counties that are the wrong culture.

    Crusader Kings III with the new Tournaments DLC has been loads of role-play fun. I started a game in the Iberian struggle. A bit of a set back as I did not read ahead on how to resolve the struggle, so I'm kind of stuck in an infinite loop of struggling. The DLC has added a lot of fun additions to the game.

    I just finished reading A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal and it was fantastic. I immediately picked up another book by Ben Macintyre called The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War. It has started out just the same, so I'm excited to spend time there. I'm also on the ninth book in the Liz Carlyle series, Breaking Cover. It's not a masterpiece, but Stella Remington's books are a fun, easy read. I'm also working my way through John Piper's Providence and I am reading a Strategic Management book for my MBA program.

    I'd like to know reddit's plan to return value to its users through charging for API access. I'm sure I'll be waiting for awhile because they're just going to pocket the value.

    “Crawling Reddit, generating value and not returning any of that value to our users is something we have a problem with,” Mr. Huffman said. “It’s a good time for us to tighten things up.”
