Subject: What is the Bible's take on sacriments? |
Bible Note: Joe Again I think we are saying the same thing. The point I was trying to make was God is the definer of what becomes our standard. Therefore as the definer whatever He establishes is in fact the boundaries of the definition of that attribute. By saying this I’m in no way opening the door to suggest whimsical behavior, contradictory behavior, or behavior that violates an established absolute or a previously defined nature or attribute of God. Our God is a God that uses variety and accomplishes the same task in many different ways. Example nature and the pollination of a flower. Consider the ways this is accomplished each unique, each different, but each accomplishing God’s desire to pollinate the flower. The fact remains God may well be using a method to accomplished it that we have yet to discover. To try to limit how God is going to accomplish something or limit what God can and cannot do outside of what has already been established in nature or the word of God is foolishness on our part. Back to the track God could have established the parameters of our salvation in many ways. Your assertion that it had to be Jesus is incorrect. However after God had established more definitions your assertion is correct. Example before Gen 3:15 the object of our salvation could have been anything, after Gen 3:15 He had to be human. As God further defined what he was going to do the definition and how he was going to accomplish it began to narrowed down what was going to happen. However nothing in nature or creation forced God to supply those definitions other than His desire to accomplish what He wanted in the way He desired. EdB |
