Very well, GE. I see no earthly need to pursue this issue further with you. ..... One side note I would like to make, however. On March 27 in your Post 185733 you asked what soteriology meant and that same day in Post 185742 Doc told you. Now here you come on April 12 saying you don't know what soteriology is. It causes me to wonder whether you pay any attention to the answers you receive from the good people on this Forum. Pardon me please if I am wrong in my observation, GE, but it seems to me you derive some comfort in not being a scholar yourself and seeing no need for scholarship. Moreover, you express amazement at "how complicated and deep some people try to make the Scriptures." Friend, no one needs to exert any effort in trying to make the Scriptures deep. The Scriptures ARE deep. Did any rational person ever believe or assert that the Author is shallow? Even though God, as John Calvin aptly put it, talks to us in baby talk, His words still take the keenest of human minds to the end of their tethers very rapidly. We stand in absolute awe of the might and majesty of the transcendent God of all creation, with whom, said the psalmist, there is none to compare (Psalm 40:5). ...... "My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8,9). ...... It is vain to try to put God in a box and unspeakably vain to try to re-image Him in our image, though some do. --Hank | ||||||

Thanks. Also I remember someone gave me a description of what sorteriology is. To me it is still just a big word. And all the knowldge in the world is useless if you dont have love. For those who want deep spirital knowldge, no one can learn about God unless God gives them such. The bible nor knowldge saves anyone. Jesus Christ does. For me it is simple. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour and his mercy and grace endures forever. And I agree with you. WE, are the creation, GOD is the creator and he does as he pleases.Thanks again!! |
