Bible Note: Dear Colin, Brooks hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the link. Consider the fact that we are no longer depraved sons of our father the devil; that our hearts of stone have been replaced with hearts of flesh; that old things have passed away and we have been made new creatures in Christ. The furthest thing from my mind was a touchy-feely type of theology. Nevertheless, God has given us emotions for a reason. Emotions are good when they are moved by moral and spiritual truth. Guilt (for instance) may not be pleasent, but where would we be without it? Let's not through out the baaby with the bath water. :-) John |
