interesting take!

Hello again Cyann, you might like to listen to this story. 9:58The Ragman — by Walter Wangerin, Jr.YouTube · Tim Boden8 Apr 2014

The Atonement is God's revelation of his character.....He chose to die rather than coerce.....rather than insist everyone dances to his tune.

It's like this DPM, as long as we hunker down and are intent on our own opinion, that's the opinion we will be stuck with, ie we close ourselves off to further revelation.

I don't think you've understood the Atonement DPM.

chin up lilygrace, chin up

the judgement we make of God is the judgement we make of ourselves. You can reverse that and it is also true.

lol....I appreciate your honesty on that.....not that it hasn't been known. :)

The issue is how you see A_R......as in a God who forgives when we earn it.....as in me being perceived as rude when I'm being direct. It appears to me you do not differentiate between between having a different view and not being liked. That is as much a fantasy as some of your threads. Now...

righty!

our justice and punishment is arbitrary ie, do we jail him for 5yrs or 10yrs? God's justice is one of liberation...can we get our head around that? When the multitudes cry for the rocks and the mountains to fall on them at Jesus return, they are saying, we would rather die than face the one who...

God has forgiven all in Jesus, something so foreign to the human heart we resist it. The connection between what Jesus did and how people respond are different matters entirely. Consider Judas, Jesus addressed him at the moment he was being betrayed as 'my friend' but in spite of that, he...
