I think it's more productive to thin...Hey Ron,<br /><br />I think it's more productive to think about this part of the article:<br /><br />"God has never required a sacrifice for His love, we simply assumed He did.<br /><br />[NOTE: See Jesus in Matt. 9:13; 12:7; and also Heb. 10:8; Ps. 51:16, Hosea 6:6, 1 Sam. 15:22]"<br /><br />What does it mean that God Himself says that He does not require sacrifice?<br /><br />I think that everything you affirm in your reply is true, and valid. But none of it is contradicted by what Kevin shared here.<br /><br />Yes: "...the whole of my salvation, past, present and future is dependent on the finish work of Christ at cavalry. And this was God's plan before the world began."<br /><br />This is true. But in what way was this finished work accomplished? Who was doing what and why? <br />Keith Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328300571647154699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-16399567156463579522017-05-21T20:26:30.454-07:002017-05-21T20:26:30.454-07:00Hmmm today is 5/21 and no one has commented on th...Hmmm today is 5/21 and no one has commented on this!<br />I wonder what you think you Keith, you didn't write it but did post it.<br />The 1st part, yes Jesus came that we might follow in his steps.<br />The 2nd, are you suggesting that the death of Christ was not necessary for forgiveness?<br />That a right standing with God (or perfection) could come by another means?<br />That the principal of substitutionary offerings & faith is God accommodating us in our narrow beings?<br />Or have I completely misunderstood what is being stated here?<br />I believe that the whole of my salvation, past, present and future is dependent on the finish work of Christ at cavalry.
