Will Hitler still be Hitler? If so, then this vision of Heaven won't be Heaven.<br /><br />The fundamental problem isn't God's love for us or his desire to redeem everyone. The problem is: God has to deal with sin in order to restore shalom/peace to the cosmos.In this scenario, God does not deal with that problem.<br /><br />God judges us according to what we do. He saves us according to his mercy. Both are present in scripture. Take either one away, and you end up with an un-workable theology. Include both, and you have a profound mystery.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846573838270770592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439195.post-41359513793941049462007-01-25T08:22:00.000-06:002007-01-25T08:22:00.000-06:00To be honest, I would be tempted to do more bad st...To be honest, I would be tempted to do more bad stuff. I would probably do whatever felt good at the time. I think that means I'm doing more for God out of fear then love. Still working on that one!Beanerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260389560375328002noreply@blogger.com
