I have read Zender, but thanks for suggesting it. I just started a book last night called The Sacredness of Questioning Everything by David Dark, and it seems like it may be right down this ally. I'll let you know. Julia. I have read Zender, but thanks for suggesting it.

Thanks for your words. Your mention of the prodigal son story is important for me. I think you are right on there, and I will be thinking about that and considering it more. Thanks a bunch. RAWK!

Jesus didn't run around yelling at sinners and judging them, he forgave them. God's justice is not one that's punative or retributive. Divine justice is much more than we expect or comprehend. think of the prodical son's return, that's the layout of the kin-dom of heaven. we can't be like the other brother and keep records, it won't do us any good. God's justice is God's mercy, you can't separate the two as they are one in the same. the question of God’s justice must be re-thought in light of Christ.

I am amazed. You recommending a book to further my dive into a part of Christianity that I don't yet understand real well. I would expect you to be steering me the other direction perhaps. Thanks. I will check it out. John. I am amazed. You recommending a book to further my dive into a part of Christianity that I don’t yet understand real well.

That all makes sense and is essentially the same that I have thought. I've read What's So Amazing About Grace and have heard of the other. But what do you do with God's so called side of "justice?" Sure, God can love everybody regardless of faith. But it doesn't seem to me that you can hold both justice and mercy tightly at the same time. Ok.
