Athena, I don't think anyone here "obsesses" over that jackal. I don't. I've never so much as mentioned him here ever. Maybe you are obsessing over him?
In any case, I had something to say about him last night...and I said it. It was my blog to say what I pleased, thank you very much.
Parti, I'm really sorry, but that was funny. Ethel so willingly looked and of course, she knew what was going on 'cuz that was the '70's and well, we all know that guy had no clothes on.
Athena Nike. OMG. You are so right. Seriously, I mean God made it SOoooooo difficult to go to heaven that NOBODY could possibly end up in heaven! Ever. Oh wait, what is the requirement for salvation? That we believe that Jesus is the son of God and ask Him for forgiveness? Who in this world could possibly do that??? Oh vey!
Athena, that's a good question. I've wondered the same often enough. On the surface, it doesn't seem fair that God made us imperfect yet seems to expect so much of us. Yes, God made us imperfect in that he designed us to need Him, and not to be little Gods. One could say that the nature of the imperfection was an incompleteness, rather than a sinful nature. We are complete in Him, not without Him.
God did not create us with sin. We chose to sin. He gave us free will and with that free will we chose to sin. On the other hand we may choose to love God. The expectation of us to become more like God may be obtained by loving Him and heeding his Word. In doing so we become less inclined to sin because we are less incomplete as we seek relationship with God.
This is a good point. I mean all of us embellish or put on a bit of drama when relating a noteworthy incidence. A good build-up, exaggerated details, a bit of suspense... But the gospels relate the events as if they are impartial witnesses. Bored ones at that. There's no sense of emotion or partiality. They're just relating the events as they were observed.
