(Sorry, we've been wandering the deserts around Tucson and there's not a whole lotta cell signals out there, LOL!)<br /><br />"A rather forgetful Father who needs to be asked politely and specifically for all favors big and small. A Father who needs to be reminded of even my most basic needs. "<br /><br />Nah, God the Father is not forgetful. WE are the ones who are forgetful. One of the many ways He uses prayer is to remind US that we don't need to look to the world for answers or help. He has all of the answers and all the help we will ever need - and he wrote them all down in the Bible. I've been studying that puppy for decades and it is STILL revealing truths to me. (Just one of the many ways it is amazing. And it's still the #1 best selling book worldwide. Check the stats.)<br />The Travelers Twohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748823471295986933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32734453.post-90148247014573773262015-04-13T06:58:34.806-07:002015-04-13T06:58:34.806-07:00Answering your question in the Facebook feed: The...Answering your question in the Facebook feed: The question is Why? Why would Omniscience require a barbaric human sacrifice as a condition for granting Love.<br /><br />Mary Watts Kevin T Boekoff, you dropped the ball God Omniscience never required a human sacrifice. When He asked Abraham to take his son to the alter of sacrifice, He already knew - because of His Omniscience - that Abraham had enough faith to do it. He only wanted ABRAHAM to know that ABRAHAM had that much faith. Which is why at the last minute God provided a lamb instead. Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God the Father didn't sacrifice God the Son on the cross. God the Son, the Lamb of God, GAVE Himself. Now, if you fell on a grenade to save your fellow men, you would be a hero - because you gave yourself. Falling on a grenade is pretty barbaric, but you're still the hero! God "took a bullet" for you. He's a hero! And you should be just as humble about it as you would be about your best friend dying so that you could live.The Travelers Twohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748823471295986933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32734453.post-53829025299482389272015-04-12T09:22:17.331-07:002015-04-12T09:22:17.331-07:00"God created man in his own image.
