Both-God has more than one side. You can't classify God and neatly put him in only one category. If you joined a team and didn't follow the coach's rules, he would bench you or if you still wouldn't follow the rules, he would kick you off the team. Unfortunately, being off God's team leaves you with the other side. We all know that satan is always on the prowl for people to sign up.(G) James

Mark---as I've said before, your posts show a kindness that is more "Christlike" than Rev. Vidrine & his parishoners---however, the reason is that you are obeying the principles of God in your communication while Vidrine & parish are disobeying these principles. However, your "obedience" to a principle of kindness won't earn you salvation, as salvation is by grace---not works. However, we must be careful to not presume upon God's grace. I believe "honest sinners" will eventually be found by God, since he is a pursuing God. However, ornery sinners will not be found by God because their very orneriness will keep God out of their lives. Have a sensational day. Barney

Mark, Hi again, you say: >>Would God rather rehabilitate a wayward soul, or punish it?<< I should think that God made that pretty clear when he sent His Son Who died, and was seperated from God (for the 1st time ever) and was raised from the dead,(seen THAT done lately?) and Who returned to the Father to speak on our behalf. >>Wouldn't rehabilitation fit within god's context of unconditional love, better than a rendering of that soul<< SEE ABOVE!! >>Given the fact that Gods desires are going to come out in the way he wants them to, Does he choose to be a God of love or punishment?>> God's love is SO BIG that he gave YOU free choice. If you force your kids to do something, how appreciative are they of you? God defeated death for you, then asks "will you accept this gift, or not?"And scripture declares that you will have one of two fathers. One Father is LIFE. If that is truth, what is the other father??? dcf
