1 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | mbooker | 59352 | ||
Hi Brother John I have been reading these posts and wondered if you wouldn't mind engaging me in a bit of dialouge. I admit up front :) that I do not have the same view as you concerning this but I want to share with you my thought process and I want to correctly understand your view. I'm also not sure if this (the forum) would be the place for us to go back and forth, but if its OK, I would appreciate your time. Abba Father Bless |

2 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | John Reformed | 59375 | ||
A follow up note (fron Calvins commentary on John 3) How can these things be? We see what is the chief obstacle in the way of Nicodemus. Every thing that he hears appears monstrous, because he does not understand the manner of it; so that there is no greater obstacle to us than our own pride; that is, we always wish to be wise beyond what is proper, and therefore we reject with diabolical pride every thing that is not explained to our reason; as if it were proper to limit the infinite power of God to our poor capacity. We are, indeed, permitted, to a certain extent, to inquire into the manner and reason of the works of God, provided that we do so with sobriety and reverence; but Nicodemus rejects it as a fable, on this ground, that he does not believe it to be possible. A word of caution to all of us who seek to know the mind of God. God Bless, John |
