Subject: What is the Bible's take on sacriments? |
Bible Note: "I think your line of though approaches the age old philosphical question, If God can do anything can God create a rock so big He can not pick it up. I think your line of reasoning would lead one to conclude the answer to be yes." My line of reasoning would actually preclude the notion that God can do ANYTHING. God cannot be not-God. "If God did seem to violate one of your human established absolutes listed in your post above, tell me who exactly would you complain to? :-)" If you throw in the word "seem" like you did above, Ed, we have a completely different argument altogether. The way things "seem" is often different than the way things "are." Of course to our finite minds God can "seem" unjust at times. Just ask anyone who thinks it is unjust for God to send anyone to hell. But I wasn't talking about how things seem, but the way God Himself has declared that they ARE. You see, the absolutes given in my post are not established apart from the gracious self-revelation of God Himself. Which of those absolutes go beyond what the Bible teaches, if they are indeed "established by humans," as you claim them to be? --Joe! |
