There is no such thing as 2P2P believes, that the issues about David are one area and the resurrection and justification are another. That is classic 2P2P compartmentalism.
In his last letter, summarizing many things tersely, Paul said there are two things to remember about Christ: raised from the dead, descended from David. I remember thinking the 2nd was pointless for years.
Instead, the reason these are together is because the resurrection of Christ is the enthronement as the son of David, which happened because of his victory of sin and death. This is in Acts 2. In Acts 13, this is repeated: the one thing Israel was expecting at that time, knowing full well that the 490 years were about to crash down in an ugly rebellion and war, was fulfilled IN THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST because this created a message (the Gospel of justification v39) that would bless the whole world through the Seed, meaning one person. The same arrival of this promise is declared in the last presentation in Acts, ch26.
We also see in 13:34 that the things promised to David were transferred to the Servant, Christ, acc to Is 55:3, so that when Heb 1:8 extols the Son for his throne's perpetuity, he means nothing other than the throne of God.
And to corroborate or coordinate Scripture even further, the question of Christ actually being David's son was the final debate between Christ and Judaism in the gospels. It was not going to be someone else. It was not going to be like David or that kind of son. "how can Christ be David's son?" is not a question of lineage, because he was. it is a question of type or features. He never was going to be a restored Judaistic kingdom, nor will he be.
2P2P is dualistic, compartmentalised, skewed. One of the ways it does this is persistent atomizing of these passages, alienating one verse, line, phrase, even word, from the other over and over until it cannot be recognized. Because it is not here to join the power of the Gospel, but to preserve 2P2P's two-part contradictions and separations.
Meaning, there is 99% likelihood that STP will look at this and write 'made up' and the RD will again say 'you know nothing about the NT.'
Christ...raised from the dead...descended from David. The one Gospel, 2 tim 2:8.
