Subject: The ransom - God or man? |
Bible Note: ""…the timing of the Messiah is not crucial to the price of the ransom. It could have come hundreds of years earlier or later…" How do you reconcile your statement (above) with Scripture: but when the completion of time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, (Galatians 4:4--compare with Hebrews 9:26) Scripture certainly attest that there is a time schedule for God's Plan! For us to jump to a conclusion that it did not matter would be to claim to be able to surpass God's Judgment and Design!" Hi, Alien! Your reply to my question by suggesting other Scripture... If you re-read your statement (quoted within the quote) you make the presumption that the Coming of Christ is haphazzard and could have taken place any time at all... perhaps I understand "crucial" and "timing" differently than you... but God's timing is excellent and no event that has taken place has happened accidentally or out of pure whim! "The purpose of my discussion is to more fully understand the ransom, the we might be more fully motivated to dwell according to knowledge" I respect your determination in questing after the understanding of God's ransom... but your expressions seem to be either condescending to Jesus or simply trivializing the Truth that you seek to find!: "I absolutely applaud God for his choice in Jesus as the ransom, and gladly cooperated with him in the role that God has now assigned him" When I read your statement (directly above), I can't help but see triviality ("applaud God") and condescension ("the role that God has now assigned him")... Jesus is God (John 20:28), not a mere glorified human that has been given tasks to perform! God Bless! Angel |
