Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

Laz: across the landscape are those whose beings are awakened to the glorious Gospel of reconciliation. Much thanks for the link.

"To say that sin, assuming it to be opposed to God, has the power of creating a world antagonistic to God as everlasting as He is, attributes to it a power equal at least to His; since according to this view, souls whom God willed to be saved, and for whom Christ died, are held in bondage under the power of sin for ever; and all this in opposition to the Word of God, which says that God's Son was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil." ~Andrew Jukes
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

Amen! I noticed recently how Romans 8:3 says - sin/hamartia/imperfection is what is and has been condemned. ? I took it to mean it is the one thing that comes out of all this, as condemned. And is like a kidnapper! And the ransom?s been paid.. Not, imo, to appease God?s ire, but our very own psyche, that we may have -boldness- to step up upon the way of reconciliation and union with God.
   So I totally agree. The idea that sin-missing the mark could have more POWER than God Almighty is indeed a very strange idea! :thumbsup:

I didn?t find anything to disagree with, but I didn?t follow the -learn more- links.. I think they are the same as a group on Facebook..? - https://www.facebook.com/groups/212981733316/?ref=share
   I think they had a problem, or so it seemed to me, with folks demanding approval of certain things, which I feel no requirement to approve nor disapprove.. that being, to me, God?s domain. My one rule being Love. There?s other CU groups on Facebook, including Tentmaker - https://www.facebook.com/groups/tentmaker/?ref=share

They?re marked as private groups.. I don?t know if threads can be read unless joined..?

I plan to read more on the CU Association website. Thanks for the link.
