In terms of sin, regardless of which atonement theory we&#8217;re discussing, I can follow the thinking about what Christ had/has to do to overcome sin, but I don&#8217;t understand the equivalent for conquering death. I confess up front that I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feastuponthewordblog.org&amp;blog=608683&amp;post=1825&amp;subd=feastuponthewordblog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
