It’s either all grace or all law I believe our brother Paul pointed out!<br /><br />I too look forward to interact with you as well brother.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630150578438657112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558980250242671917.post-68070480815247235752009-06-09T02:40:06.511-04:002009-06-09T02:40:06.511-04:00Love your words here rich.

Why has it been the history of the Church and her leaders per se have taught an interpretation of Scripture and a certain way of seeing God which i think causes spiritual schizophrenia??? Calvinists focus on Gods absolute sovereingty and His grace supppsedly yet declare only a select few *elect* will be saved in the end??? Evangelicals make it clear if you lack obedience and faith you are pretty much in Gods proverbial *doghouse* I have seen you touch upon these issues in your posts but you spoke to my itches by your words and i just wanted to voice them here. Hope to interact with you now that i have found you via tracy. Good good stuff!!!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137068859515196903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558980250242671917.post-50002087030890641892009-06-06T20:21:02.041-04:002009-06-06T20:21:02.041-04:00Silent Wings,

Non...Silent Wings,<br /><br />It is so good to see you again.<br />None of us have ever known true, pure love, His kind, you know the stuff that is 100% free from any and all conditions.<br /><br />It is this kind of love that scares the hellish fear filled torment that we have out side of Him, slowly His love for us begins to register and dismantles the house of lies that have tortured us.<br /><br />Oh, the deep, deep love of our Father!Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630150578438657112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558980250242671917.post-21720697097860164892009-06-06T19:53:35.219-04:002009-06-06T19:53:35.219-04:00Rich my brother,
