The ...Dear Charlotte,<BR/><BR/>You have thought quite a bit! The comments "I already know what's going to happen here, why bother?" has been problematic also for me for quite some time, however, the deeper one digs in a portion of Scripture, the more It grows in significance: that’s what happened to you here! The Holy Spirit continues teaching… Great! Keep going….<BR/>On "perichoresis", did you ever have the opportunity to read “Out of the Silent Planet” (Lewis of course!)? In the last chapter there is an awesome description of this. You would love it!<BR/>About OBSESSED by creationism, sorry, maybe I am one of these ridiculous people. My only argument being: I do not see why I would believe that God can make an arm dead and back to life in one minute, heal a leprous patient or a paralyzed one and not be able to perform a 6 day, 24 hour new earth creation? I have no problem with the statement. For me raising oneself from the dead and creating a world in a week meets, in my mind, the same amount of faith… And I ask God every day for Him t have mercy with my unbelief.<BR/>Finally about work; it seems to me that ‘labor’ is a Godly given (in paradise) therapy for our bodies, especially the labor on behalf of my neighbor… <BR/>Keep thinking! It is greatly appreciated,<BR/>sincerely,<BR/>A & PAdriana Schalkwijk Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275026189125647368noreply@blogger.com
