Bible Note: Sir (Pent), I think your views on the self-imposed limitation of Jesus are sound and, insofar as it is revealed, scripturally grounded. I think where we run into a sand barge is when we attempt to put God in a box and say, in so many words, God MUST do this or act like this or think thus and so. God is God and if the incarnate God chose to limit Himself on earth in certain respects, who are we to say, No, you can't do that: it isn't God-like of you? God made man in His own image; it is not our burden to make God in ours...... As for as your comments and concerns about the posts of your correspondent, well specifically to him and generally to us all, I would add that we need to exercise common sense and our very best judgment when we post anything at all on this forum. The Internet has extremely long tentacles and we will never know who may read what we say to their edification or to their damnation. --Hank |
