Galatians 3

Galatians 3

Dr. Camden M. Bucey explores Paul s enigmatic phrase in Romans 7:14 by using Galatians 3 as an interpretive context for Romans 7–8. This address concluded the main sessions of the 2019 Reformed Forum Theology Conference held at Hope OPC in Grayslake, Illino

Galatians 2–4

e Lord and the role of the tabernacle and sacrificial system in the Sinai Covenant. Camden compared Galatians 2–4 with Romans 7–8 in order to address Paul s phrase that the law is Spiritual in Romans 7:14. Participants: Camden Bucey , Glen Clary , Jim Cassidy Glen Clary and Camde

Galatians 3:6 · Jim Cassidy

Sure, yeah. I was just wondering if you can – again, this is sort of a new perspective on Paul question, I guess, and I realize you are expounding Paul and not N.T. Wright, but I think it would be a benefit to our listeners if we could get your thoughts on Galatians 3.6, because this one has been a

Galatians 3:6 · David McWilliams

Yes, it is the counting of an alien righteousness. I think what’s helpful in reading Galatians 3.6 is to compare it with Romans 4, in which the apostle says, Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. And it goes on to say, now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as

Galatians 3:10 · Jim Cassidy

So when you come to Galatians 3.10 then where it says, for all who rely on works of the law are under a curse, for it is written cursed as everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law and do them, you know, this passage has been worked over by scholars as to whether or no

Galatians 3:8 · Speaker 1

The Bible story is then the story of how God was faithful to that promise he made to Abraham in Genesis 12. That promise that Paul will one day call the gospel proclaimed beforehand, I think that’s Galatians 3, verse 8. That promise that would be ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. The promise that I thi

Galatians 3:10–14 · Nick Batzig

And, Guy, I know this is a fairly well-understood issue for a lot of Reformed people, but could you explain briefly what your understanding of the exegesis of Galatians 3.10-14 would be? What is Paul saying there? Who’s under the curse? What is the blessing? How do people get it? If you could just g

Galatians 3:10–14 · Guy Prentiss Waters

Sure. Well, in this passage, Galatians 3.10-3.14, and maybe it would be helpful just to parallel my reading of the passage with the way Wright reads this passage in his manuscript. Pleased to see the difference. Wright certainly comes to term with the language of curse in this passage,

Galatians 3:10 · Camden Bucey

Third Isaiah, right. Yeah. Well, second Isaiah. Second Isaiah there, I guess, yeah. No, this is good, Will. What do you think, Adam? Do you have any thoughts in response to what we’re saying? I mean, I love just even the summary treatment you say after dealing with Galatians 3.10 a little bit. You w

person of sinners, and there’s the sin of sinners. I must find a reason why the sword falls here on the cross of Calvary, why sin is condemned in the flesh of Jesus Christ, not in my sin. And the reason is that he bore my sin. He is me. And if you recall Lutheran Galatians 3.13, the exposition there

Galatians 3:13 · Jeff Waddington

And there’s a lot more that can be said about that. But ultimately, the point I was wanting to make is our understanding of the cross has to fit into this scheme of the covenant of redemption, the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace. And the death of Christ involves Christ himself becoming

Galatians 3:13 · Jeff Waddington

Because Christ, and this is where I was going earlier, Christ has become a curse for us, per Galatians 3.13. And if he hasn’t been raised, he’s still under a curse.

Galatians 3:13 · Jeff Waddington

And if Christ was a curse for us, that means if he’s not raised, he’s still under condemnation, and so are we. But we can only be justified. We can only be declared righteous. We can only be forgiven our sins if Christ himself has been raised and justified. That is declared just. Even though he was

Galatians 3:13 · Jeff Waddington

Galatians 3.13, which we talked about last week. And Galatians 4.5. And we are all told in 1 Peter 1.18 that we are redeemed from our empty way of life. So those are some of the things that we’re told that we are redeemed from, along with a redemption from all wickedness in Titus 2.14,

Galatians 3:13 · Brandon Crowe

He was living and not dead. And I think one of the more plausible scenarios is, why was Paul so vehemently opposed to the church? And why was he so zealous? And probably one of the reasons is because they were saying that the cursed man, Jesus, is the Messiah and God’s son. You know, think of Galati

Galatians 3:14 · Lane G. Tipton

To tease out something we can develop later, where is the promise realized, according to Paul? Galatians 3.14, in the Spirit. Right. The condition that fulfills climatically the promise is Christ who is life-giving Spirit. The law, because it’s weakened by the flesh,

Galatians 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

Well, I think what we get, particularly in texts like Hebrews 9.16, is the idea, and Galatians 3.15 and other places bring this into view, is Jesus, in order to redeem his people, there must be a shedding of blood.

Galatians 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

And through that seed, the nations will be blessed. And so the Lord is going to build a city nation. He’s going to build a kingdom people. And he’s going to do so through the line of Shem, through Abraham and his seed, which Paul 3.16, Galatians 3.16 through 29, is Christ and those in him.

Galatians 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

And Abraham is the head now, as it were, the proleptic anticipatory head of a new humanity, of a nation. All nations on earth will be blessed through you. And who is that seed climactically? Galatians 3.16 through 29. Christ and those united to him. And so that Sethite theme

Galatians 3:16 · Jim Cassidy

And so, it caught me as going through it, very confusing at the time, now looking back, seeing things, I think, retrospectively much more clear. And so, I asked that question to set up the way in which Paul, particularly in Galatians 3.16, interprets the promise that is given to Abraham, the promise

Galatians 3:19

he Old Covenant. We will consider consider the hypothesis that Romans 7:14a is explained in part by Galatians 3:19 and Galatians 3:22–24 sheds light on Romans 7:14b. The struggle of Romans 7 is that of the earthly/dust (χοϊκός) man (1 Corinthians 15:47–48). The law originates fro

Galatians 3:24 · Paul Maxwell

Well, he tries to wrestle with the primary texts you’d want to throw at him first. He actually doesn’t do that much with 1 Timothy 1.15. He doesn’t deal extensively with that. The main passages he deals with are Philippians 3, 6 through 9, Romans 7, and then Galatians 3.24.

Galatians 3:24 · Camden Bucey

And what about Galatians 3.24? That’s a particular verse that you’ve called out. Galatians 3. Oh, just such an important chapter. Yeah. The relationship of Gentiles to Jews now. Mm-hmm. And Gentiles can be children of Abraham by having the same faith as Abraham. Right. And you’ve grabbed it in. Yeah

Galatians 3:26 · Lane G. Tipton

with Christ, so that that’s how we make sense of Paul saying you’re justified in Christ, Galatians 2.17, sanctified in Christ, Romans 6.9 and 10, adopted in him, Galatians 3.26, things like that, and so, and just building one last point on that, like when Dr. Gaffin was talking about firstborn and f

Galatians 3:29 · Camden Bucey

Galatians 3.29, Romans 4, for example. What do you think about that?

Galatians 3:29 · Camden Bucey

Galatians 3.29, I mentioned already. But God can raise up children from Abraham from stones. You know, the problem here isn’t a genetic problem. You know, and so God’s emphasis has never been exclusively on genetics, because even in Old Testament Israel, there was provision for Gentiles to convert a

Galatians 3:29 · Camden Bucey

ethnic Israel, the nation, the theocratic nation of Israel, and the descendants thereof relate to the spiritual sons of Abraham, Galatians 3.29, etc. Let’s take a text like Romans 11, which talks about the olive tree as the people of God, with Christ being the root. How might we understand Christ in
