I then realized I was not 100% sure you are a father, but you sure are a wonderful example of what a father should be like even if your not (but I do kind of remember you talking about a daughter..don't i?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1150461637413513342006-06-16T07:40:00.000-05:002006-06-16T07:40:00.000-05:00Your words always bless me, KB!Your words always bless me, KB!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203594257221430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1150459085785922612006-06-16T06:58:00.000-05:002006-06-16T06:58:00.000-05:00This is so much more than semantics, and a great d...This is so much more than semantics, and a great distinction. Elohim is who we serve...

He had to prove to us that our silly attempts to come to the Father were futile... but, that a day would come which would reveal to all that God's love vastly exceeded our foolishness. Sadly, still today, we think we can "work" our way to God. We look right past the cross and the incredible message it reveals, and attempt to persuade God to favor us as a reward for all of our correctness. We insult the cross with our self-righteousness. But, that's OK... the cross covers us anyway. That's how great God is!brucedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839887792626090688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1150222995626881952006-06-13T13:23:00.000-05:002006-06-13T13:23:00.000-05:00Is there not a fourth choice?

The writers attributed to Jesus what he did not attribute to himself.<BR/><BR/>I only throw those out because I have heard them and I think they are fair questions. I have always found Lewis's trilemma a bit coercive... :)<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of giving people more space to make judgments than that.<BR/><BR/>JulieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088119765077193302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1150168549027180062006-06-12T22:15:00.000-05:002006-06-12T22:15:00.000-05:00Well put!

And thank you for putting up what is probably my most favorite, most memorable quote of Lewis. <BR/><BR/>BradBrad Hustonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034379100231079992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1150167822970373042006-06-12T22:03:00.000-05:002006-06-12T22:03:00.000-05:00I remember the first time I read that passage in M...I remember the first time I read that passage in Mere Christianity--the world stopped, and when it started again, things were different.God's Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561357217539705033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1150143590587741452006-06-12T15:19:00.000-05:002006-06-12T15:19:00.000-05:00First of all, "Happy Birthday" to your mom. WOW, 9...First of all, "<B>Happy Birthday</B>" to your mom. WOW, 90!!!<BR/><BR/>It's kind of funny. When I was a non-Christian, I would read those "Jesus is Lord", or "Jesus Saves" signs and get turned off. Now that I am a Christian, I read them and think to myself, "Somebody like my old self just drove past that sign and got turned off." <BR/><BR/>But it's such a poignant sentence that it just has to be said! I think I like your idea of "<I>Jesus is God</I>" better. That would at least explain what Lord meant. And it doesn't leave the non-believer thinking "Saves <I>what</I>? His pennies?"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Side note: If your mother is 90, then either she gave birth to you in her 60's or 70's, or you ar using a very old picture of yourself. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
