Subject: What is the Bible's take on sacriments? |
Bible Note: You wrote: "I’m saying if in fact God had used the Mosaic sacrificial system to provide for our atonement before Hebrews or any other conflicting statements to that method was written and called it just, then to us it would have been just." And this is the heart of our disagreement. You say the just status of God's decrees is determined by him declaring them just. You separate the act from any innate attribute of God. According to you, God could have declared absolutely ANYTHING to be just satisfaction, whether that satisfaction actually cost anyone anything or not. I, however, contend that the justice of God's decrees originate in His very nature. The justice of God's acts does not originate with Him doing them. God's doing the acts that He does originates in His immutable justice, an aspect of His nature. In short, justice begins in God, not outside of Him. "Are you sure your not a Lawyer? I haven't had to weigh every word so carefully since I last talked to one of those sharks." Not a lawyer, just a shark who cares about God's character and the necessity of the Triune God's covenant of redemption decreed from eternity past. --Joe! |
