Thanks, my brotha. I would also add Visteds to the list. Brilliant mind and always accepting and non-judgmental.
I consider RBHill to be one of my favorite posters. I don't think he has come to appreciate the unintentional humor that he provides.

We relate to God on the basis of his Justice and Righteousness (attributes which = Divine Integrity). His virtue love represents His motivation.

None of us did. All human beings are born under the Adamic curse. Federal head of the human race screwed up the same way any of us
would have done in his shoes. So we're born with an old sin nature in our genes (passed down from the male). It has areas of weakness
(sin) and of strength (human good)) and does a great job of cranking up temptation ...[text shortened]... wanted to do them and did. Good news: Sin was judged on the cross. God's integrity is perfect.

Hesitate even to reply, Nordlys, since so much is at stake. Without intruding myself, let me simply suggest that He's a perfect gentlemen
and longsuffering, unwilling that any should perish. Desires that all may accept His gift of salvation (faith in Christ) but won't force your will.

It's a rapport relationship. Christianity is God seeking man, offering him a free gift with no strings. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain.
