My 14 days of "fasting," if you will, from reading on theology are done. But they've been an awesome 14 days. It's amazing how much rest as come to my mind as I've been learning to simply accept that God IS love. And honestly, I think I'm going to have to stick with this. I can't answer all the theological questions I have, and perhaps I never will be able to. But I figure, if God is love, then he's got everyone's back. Period. Love is not something that permanently rejects or destroys. For me to live with any other idea of God, outside of love, puts me into mental torment. I cannot live that way, and I don't plan on living that way any longer. I certainly like studying on theology and philosophy, but I'm also going to need to make sure to stay away from topics and threads that destroy (not necessarily due to their inherent nature, but because of their effects on my mind). For instance: I don't know how, or when, exactly, God will bring all people to know him, but I do know that it's the only loving thing for God to do. I've got to rest in this fact. Outside of that, I've, perhaps, nothing else to stand on.

Hope all is going well over here!  :thumbsup:

Really like this Tim.  It's called trusting God.  Not trying to manipulate Him, or demand of Him, but simply trusting in His goodness.

As for the last line, we have this.  We can look to Jesus, the Beginner and Completer of our faith (Heb. 12:2)...and, His grace is sufficient.   :thumbsup:

Welcome back.  James.
The oldest known manuscripts agree with each other 99% of the time.  The scriptures, accurately translated, Spirit revealed - reliable.   Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.  Heb. 12:2
