Bible Note: Dear Lionstrong, thanks for the reply. Thanks for taking the time to explain your viewpoint fully. I appreciate it. I do agree with many of the things you've said in these two parts. I'll reread it over the next couple of days to try to understand it better (I'm a slow learner). Please don't think, brother, that I think that unregenerated man is worthless, just an animal, or any other derogatory term that sinners are labeled. I disagree with that view. "While we were YET sinners, Christ died for us, the Godly for the ungodly." Your view (or Westminster's view) bears much consideration. The only thing that I might add, as a supplement, not a substitute, is that man's worth is really based upon the fact that God chooses to love us. Regardless of whether we agree what that 'image of God' is, we can rest assured that our value is based upon the worth that God assigns to us. How great a love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called 'the Children of God.' Blessings in Christ, brother Lionstrong. In Him, Bill Mc |
