Dear Parcival:
Where did you go ? It really takes me a few days many times to ponder about a post. On your notion that God can be found by looking at man. This can be said. The souls of mankind are the only thing in creation that has been tainted by sin; other than the fallen angels. But as I write this, I think that eventually we will lay down beside the lion, whereas we cannot do so now; so does that mean that some of the wild animals have been tainted by sin. Interesting point; hopefully Emile or some other lurker can illuminate this for us.
But while tainted, you can see some great examples of Christ like qualities , especially in older saints of God; and not to forget mentioning the childlike qualities of innocence and beauty and purity.
And ; you know I have seen some beautiful qualities in people that do not profess Christ and some awful qualities in those that do.
But one thing I can assure; Christ chastises His own. I have been on the receiving end many times, but after all the "shouting is over", so to speak, I always love Him more than before; because it is an impossibility for Christ to allow an event in the life of a believer that is not for that person's ultimate good, and edification, and benefit, and character, and well being, and bringing up , and building up, and better self image in Christ.
Thanks for listening.. With all respect and well being in Christ. Smile..Jesus Loves You. In Christ Gregor |
