Soda Bread (irish Whisky Soda)

Jesus came to a growing understanding of his Messianic calling by reading the Scriptures. He had to learn the Bible just as we must. Of course, He is the greatest theologian who has ever lived. His reading of the Bible would have been free from the problems that beset Christians who wrongly interpret passages and bring their own sinful dispositions to the text. Nevertheless, we must not imagine that Christ had all of the answers as a baby and merely waited to begin His ministry at the age of thirty without putting in hard yet delightful work on a daily basis in obedience to His Father’s will. As Christopher Wright notes, the Old Testament enabled Jesus to understand Himself. The answer to His self-identity came from the Bible, 'the Hebrew scriptures in which he found a rich tapestry of figures, historical persons, prophetic pictures and symbols of worship. And in this tapestry, where others saw only a fragmented collection of various figures and hopes, Jesus saw His own face. His Hebrew Bible provided the shape of His own identity.' …He had to study to know what to do. While He was never ignorant of what He needed to know at any stage of His life, He nevertheless was required to learn (Mark Jones).

INSTRUCTIONS

BREAD:  In large bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda.  With
pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles
coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins or currants (if using).  In separate
bowl, combine buttermilk, honey and whisky.  Add all at once to dry
ingredients; stir just until no dry spots remain.  Turn dough out  onto
lightly floured surface.  Knead lightly 1 minute (too much  handling
will toughen loaves, while too little will inhibit rising.)  Divide
dough in half and shape each half into an 8 in (20 cm) round.  Place in
two greased 8 in (1.2 L) round cake pans.  With floured  knife, cut a
cross 1/2 in deep in each loaf.  GLAZE:  In small bowl, combine whisky
and milk.  Brush loaves with  glaze. Bake in 350F (180C) oven 35 to 40
minutes or until loaves  sound hollow when tapped on bottoms.  Remove
from pans; let cool on  wire racks. Cut into wedges.  File

Will hell be everlasting? All the way back in the Old Testament, Daniel 12:2, “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.” Matthew 25:46 “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” In this verses, the word translated “eternal” is the same one used for both heaven and hell. Heaven and hell parallel each other for eternity. They both stand or fall together. Jesus in Matthew 18:8 calls hell and “eternal fire.” Three times, Mark says of those in in hell, “Their worm will not die” (Mk. 9:44, 46, 48; cf. Isa. 66:24). When Jude speaks of false teachers in hell he says “for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever” (Jude 13). 2 Thessalonians 1:9, “These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.”
