| How is it that one who holds to the Covenant of Works and Covenant of Grace tend to "view the present evil age as not worth redeeming"? What is the connection?
Also, on a different note... this is a great forum. Only on the Puritan Board can one be a "Klinean"!  | Because this present world is viewed as old creation under the curse of Adam (COW). The only hope for man is to be saved by Christ, and become part of the new creation, which will eventually replace the old with the return of Christ.
