Christianity is unique in this way, I think. We not only know about God, but He has revealed Himself to us so that we can know Him. This process of knowing Him and knowing ourselves brings about this unmatched duality of knowing at the same time how unworthy we are, and yet to what lengths our Savior has gone to not only cleanse us but also bless us. So we are not cleansed and left to fear, but are given a spirit of sonship. Humility is the only possible response on that view.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Jeremy D.

I'm also surprised at the inordinate anger I am confronted with when I say that I believe that God sends people to Hell from people who "say" they don't believe in Hell. I am quick to point out that I only believe what was written, that I didn't create Hell and that I am not going to send anyone there. It's the judgement, ultimately I think, that brings on the anger. <br /><br />I was riding quietly in a van with some women who were saying amongst themselves, with solace: "Hey, people can't judge me, God will be my judge." I asked them wouldn't they rather be judged by imperfect-like-them people than by a perfect Holy and Righteous God? <br /><br />Becoming a Christian was a humbling experience for me. I had to admit that I was no better than the Christians I so hated and despised.Danny Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006024707303951009noreply@blogger.com
