And...Glad to get any spillover from <a href="http://reason.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">Hit & Run</a>!<br /><br />And yes, my Dad is the very best kind of Christian: evangelical out of earnest love, a daily example of "walking the walk" as best he can, and still working every day to learn something new.<br /><br />He's not perfect though. He really likes <i>CSI: Miami</i>.Scotticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036864484047829599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490774850330904517.post-1025258244052004512010-03-31T20:08:30.118-04:002010-03-31T20:08:30.118-04:00SF,did not know what to expect after your confusin...SF,did not know what to expect after your confusing offshore drilling and smoking 'SAT question' but I can relate to this story.

I know that I can not match your wit or intellect, but I hope my faith can somehow encourage you to reach that point for yourself. From the failure of Adam to accept a single rule, the ability to choose that God gave us all invariably leads us to make wrong decisions occasionally. As much as God loves us, his holiness demands repentance and some type of sacrifice before we can have a relationship with Him again. From the time of Adam until Christ that was done with the blood sacrifice of animals. But throughout the accounts of the Old Testament, there is a coherent plan revealed for a better way. Through over 300 prophecies, all of which were fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God gave us the gift of salvation by simply believing and accepting the sacrifice of the perfect Lamb. That was not a punishment of a perfect, sinless being, but the gift of the Trinity, sending a part of that Trinity to bring God directly to us as a living human being for about 33 years. That being experienced an undeserved (but planned and predicted) death, but then arose, appeared to over 500 people, then returned to His place with God and sent another part of that Trinity, the Holy Spirit, to live in those who accept His reality and the sacrificial gift He gave to us. That death was not about justice, but grace, an undeserved gift. Knowing that we could never deserve, on our merits, to be in the presence of a holy God, He provided the perfect Sacrifice and asks us only to accept that gift and allow the Holy Spirit to help us to live in a way more pleasing to Him, manifested in the simple rules of loving God and loving our fellow man. Even those seemingly simple rules cannot be perfectly followed by us as humans, but the Holy Spirit gives us the help we need to continue to try. And that is all He asks of us.<br />I hope this helps. Read "The Shack" when you get a chance. It may help with the issue of bad things happening to innocents.
