In the last few years, there’s been potentially no greater human influence in my spiritual and academic walks with the Lord than Dr. Michael S. Heiser. No doubt, many of my readers are fans of his, many are not, and some of you may not even know who he is. That’s okay.
The fact that Tim Chaffey agrees with Heiser is a positive thing. How much is that countered though by the fact Heiser endorses both John Walton's functional creation and N. T. Wright's New Perspective on Paul (which is essentially just works salvation, though Heiser doesn't think so)? If the same "ancient Jewish mindset" that leads to the "divine counsel worldview" also leads to "functional creation" and "new perspective on Paul", shouldn't that raise some pretty significant red flags?
