Mark,

I hope the resolution to your misunderstanding is as
simple as I think it is.

>Loren,

The epoch of Adam; pre-eschaton.

>I cannot see how the epoch of sin and death is over.

It is, and it isn't. Believers have died with Christ
(Rom 6), but they have not yet risen with Christ (Rom
8).

>Can those who continue to suffer the consequences of
>sin and death in this world actually believe this
>to be the case...

Isn't this the whole idea behind the paradox of the
eschatological tension? Or have I misunderstood your
confusion altogether?

Thanks also to Moon for the thoughtful post. I will
digest and get back with a lengthy reply.
