My first though after reading this quote is that he hates God or is angry with his own dad (or both)and has confused God's purposes with his own outrage that he would never sacrifice his child. I cannot understand how anyone with even a basic grasp of these Holy Scriptures would place Jesus as a victim or that He was some poor schlameel that stumbled in to Jarusalem and got himself crucified. He is God as The Father is God (and The Spirit)and all of these things were know of God before the foundation of the earth.

The Christian never forgives without Christ - without his life in him, and the knowledge that his death has atoned for ALL the sins of his people. Thus Christ's sacrifice is ever present in the minds of those who forgive. Thus atonement has been made, and a price paid for the forgiven sin. <br /><br />BlessingsThe Welshmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717441148489203372noreply@blogger.com
