God's M.O. has never altered. His attitude towards all his creation throughout eternity is one of unending care and kindness.

As an example, our Sun can only be seen at a distance.....and even that with great difficulty when looking directly at it. God's Glory is his self sacrificing love; its brightness a consuming fire.

The Good News is a past and present continuous reality which is held in our earthen vessels by believing it......till the physical reality becomes our experience at the second coming.....when mortality puts on immortality and this corruptible puts on incorruption. This has been the great hope...

I would say Salvation came SteVen before the foundation of the World. I wonder what 'Salvation before the foundation of the World means'? It means that God's tenderness, his Grace, his Mercy, his Loving Kindness have always existed, it is past present continuous and has never changed......ever...

Are we saved by certainty, or by faith? - the mystery of salvation We are saved by Jesus. Why gravitate to the subjective and make it the primary criteria? ie certainty or faith Faith is the hand which grasps the certainty of Salvation but Salvation is there even before we are born.

Let's see if we can agree on something and build from there? Would you agree that being born again is something happening to you ie, it's a subjective experience?

It's a question Rj

Let me ask this, is Jesus a tool to get what we want, ie, being born again, or is Jesus the main event? I would say that being 'transformed by the renewing of ones mind' is seeing Jesus as the main event and believing it, and being born again is the fruit of seeing this.

All humanity has been restored IN JESUS.....especially those who believe. This restoration of all people is God's Glory....it is unprecedented.....unheard of Many/ most don't care for this restoration, they even despise and twist it and misrepresent it by making it conditional upon something...

Born again is about you/ the individual. Don't miss Jesus in all the 'born again' yada yada Rj.....because it's highly possible!

We can pull the history of Jesus apart as clinically and sterile as one might pull the anatomy of a hand apart to discover its parts but totally miss the loving caress it is capable of. The Story of Jesus is one of Salvation with a capital S. It is about God's emotional and compassionate ties...

The second death

Perhaps you could point out to us all your faults and errors instead of those of others?

Are Women Made in God’s Image? Only on Fridays! :contemplate:.......and if they eat only fish, they're one step closer :rolleyes:

What did Jesus die to save us from? Death.

I read Calvins institutes 45 odd years ago. I don't remember all the details, and frankly it is not that important to me. My passion is to see Jesus, not Calvin or Luther or any of the reformers for that matter, interesting though they are. They were men for their time. All the barking about...

I hope praying for your enemies does not include the right to run them down :oops:

ahhhhh, theology! of course. Do you think that Jesus was into Theology?

So can drawing a caricature of Mohamed. So can belonging to certain ethnicities. So can living on Planet Earth.

Calvin's theology reveals it.
