Hey Cos

Good to here from you again.
Your underwear may be holey, but God is Holy. But you knew that. LOL.

I don't attribute randomness to God, nor do I combine them. I say in God there is no randomness. We, being limited, make the mistake of assuming randomness where there is none.

As far as your other points go, I think there is some validity to at least some of them. Christians in our countries should be ashamed that their lives do not reflect the transformation of the inner hearts, by their outward lives. Of course the Term "Christian" has also been adopted by many, many, in our society as a purely cultural function. Church is what you do on Sunday, sort of like my father was a republican and his father and his, so I am one too.

I would beg to differ that God does not give a hoey about us. You have air to breath don't you? You have food to eat. You have a family, and a job and a house. That's common Grace, everyone benefits from it. If that were all, then your point might have more strength than it does. But He has also come in person to this world where he laid down his life for you and I. If you don't wish to avail yourself of that, then don't blame God. God so loved the world...well you've been to the game.

Great to see you back, I missed our conversations.
Greg
