God calls us to be Holy, and spritually perfect. To grow in grace and knowledge. Often, we find our selfes justifying our actions, trying to find out if somthing is <em>wrong </em>or <em>a sin. </em>We constantly try to find these grey areas. We focus on what is a sin, and we do everyhthing but. If we focused on holines and spiritual maturity, these things would resolve themselves, we wouldnt have to worry about were to draw a line. Over my life in many christian circles i have witnessed way more disuccions about what we want and are allowed to do, rather then what we should be doing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/202379240189227016-4003677140996110821?l=wildtabernacle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218054136094145980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202379240189227016.post-1870618899061510232007-03-11T15:39:00.001-07:002007-03-11T15:39:25.829-07:00When God made the rules for this world, why did he choose to placate sin with sacrifice, why did life have to die, and why did Blood need to be shed? Is it simply because blood happens to be our life giving liquid? Couldn’t it have been anything God wanted? If God chose something other then sacrifice would he still have had to die? Would there have been any other way?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/202379240189227016-187061889906151023?l=wildtabernacle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218054136094145980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202379240189227016.post-9619574766063328792007-03-11T15:38:00.000-07:002007-03-11T15:39:02.523-07:00God?<br />Isn’t our God so totally awesome?. What manner of God, capable of doing so much more then our mere mortal minds could ever imagine, could decide to make a wee little planet in the middle of nowhere, and inhabit it with a bunch of human creatures. Then watch as these creatures, who were made in His own image, fail and began possessing and expressing the very opposite of holistic qualities, wickedly violating and contrasting Gods own personal holiness. And then how could this God fall into so much love with them that he sent his own son, who transformed his all powerful, unblemished and almighty being into that of a mundane hedonistic human, to experience the worst of what they could suffer. And then finally to die, to propitiate their iniquities, saving them from their wicked, vile and separated state to spend the rest of eternity in his presence.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/202379240189227016-961957476606332879?l=wildtabernacle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218054136094145980noreply@blogger.com5
