I have been both. Thank you Blake. | ||

Excellent video Blake. The father (God) sacrifices his lamb (Jesus Christ) to redeem his lost son (sinners). | ||

RD: Same here. Hey brother Sami! Great to see you here. All, Here's another video that enhanced my understanding of a biblical story and is complimentary to the parable explannation above.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZKuixGmiMw I never really grasped or remembered the part where Job repents, which turns the whole story on its head compared to conventional understanding, at least so far as I understood it. Even if following the law perfectly, having obeyed the Father to get what we want means we have the wrong motivation and a false god of our own making. The message is that God wants a relationship, not a slave or a performing monkey. | ||

Welcome to BadWeb Sami! I need to set aside a block of time to take in the Job video and re-watch The Parable. | ||

Blake & Ourdee Thanks! True, God wants a relationship. If God wanted slaves, then He could have created us as robots. Robots obey laws perfectly. The problem with robots is that they don't form relationships. | ||

Might be nice if we had a switch that we could turn on and off. | ||

I've had it explained to me that God is a gentleman. He will not force you into a relationship. | ||

I tend to view the new covenant as equating in one respect to children coming into adulthood, no longer subject to the constant disciplinary authority of the parent, but rather loved unconditionally, allowed to do as they please, wrong or right. |
