Subject: Is it easy for God to forgive? |
Bible Note: You are welcome my friend :-) Yes, Doc does have a way of bringing all aspects into focus. I hadn't thought enough about that, and I think I originally missed in your post were it said, perhaps, He was going against His nature. Anyway, however I suppose I maybe skipped over it "lightly", because reading your post's over this past year that I've been around, I hadn't really seen anything in your theology reflecting that you would "seriously" consider that, but rather it was probably only just a passing thought..... You did say that, you were just thinking out loud, after all. Certainly, everything but everything, is for His Glory! Having once been the sort of man that would just as soon remove a kneecap, rather then help a man up, I can well empathize with anyone's getting emotional about His Grace and Mercy. I've often found myself weeping, when I truly realize just how loving and wonderfully forgiving He is. His Mercy endureth forever! Bless you Brother Steve! John |
