Could it be possible for the Christian Faith to be infiltrated by man's limited thinking and biased motivation? Could our doctrines begin to reflect man's need for control, superiority, power wielding? These are remarkably harsh words for such a "loving" blog. I suggest them because the power of traditional doctrine can be so strong, little thought can be given to an alternate view. Scriptures pointing unalterably to God's desire to save all are ignored in the face of the popular "Christian" club for only the few.
The power of the resurrection (See Jack D.'s wonderful entry today), the testimony of scripture, the character of God (amply extolled through the scriptures) point to a God sized hope! "The Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17) brought "good tidings of great joy which will be to all people." (Luke 2:10)
Good news. God sized.

Perhaps it would be wise, not to try to make scripture clear. Perhaps we are going about this all wrong. Jesus intentionally used veiled language, parables, and riddles to keep most from understanding, so that He could reveal the hidden things of God to "babes". His mysteries aren't for the wise and prudent, but for the weak and foolish. !!!That would explain why He would reveal anything to me!!! :) ;) :) ;) :)
I'm on that train!
