For lack of a better term, that is. One thing that has always fascinated me and strengthened my soul is the wealth of situations in Scripture where the negatives of the OT were canceled out by the blessings of the NT, or when something was paralleled.....For example, the friendship of Jonathan and David is mirrored in St. John the Forerunner and Our Lord Himself. I love in Matthew 21:15 how the Lord restores Peter after the threefold denial. He cancels out a failure and infuses blessing and healing. Or like the serpent in the desert with Moses, the Cross is a parallel. Or how the Theotokos is the New Eve and New Ark, etc...
What is your favorite OT-NT or NT-NT parallel or "cancelation" story, for lack of a better term. I love redemption and these types of topics.
After a couple weeks of evolution warfare, talking about communism, and inter-TAW battles, I thought it would be a healthy topic....if anyone other than me is interested in this line of thought....
