Or even the historical figure of Jesus?  05:58 – How do we properly understand typology as pointing towards the New Testament?  14:10 – What does Jimmy think of the new document Antiqua et nova? Does he have any advice for the everyday person?  18:08 – I have a friend who doesn’t believe God loves sinners and uses Ps 5:5 as evidence.

Why does it say that?
