Christ was crucified once, and it is my contention that he needn't be placed there again except that it is necessary for he is God. It satisfies me that I do not know God and I much prefer imagination.<br /><br />Reality may not require a conciousness for it to be, and yet there is. Christ guarantees an inalienability (for lack of something simpler to say).<br /><br />Reminders are necessary for created things, but creation can not be mistaken. Whatever happens during the whole course of life, I feel fond and glad to meet it. :)Christopher Yenivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-61065489449480564492022-12-15T19:36:50.546+00:002022-12-15T19:36:50.546+00:00I also believe that God provides many opportunitie...I also believe that God provides many opportunities for repentance but some souls just double down because of pride or attachment to some other sin.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-58492831007613594132022-12-15T16:19:27.979+00:002022-12-15T16:19:27.979+00:00This is excellent, thank you. The ideas expressed...This is excellent, thank you. The ideas expressed in this post, with which I agree, makes it very difficult for me to accept any kind of permanence in the afterlife. Meaning, it is possible for even the most wicked soul in the lowest ring of Hell to come back to God (through Christ) at some point in eternity. Even those who choose Christ in life can't fully know and understand Christ at that point. They will be learning more about God and Christ throughout eternity; so someone who rejects Christ must necessarily be doing so without full knowledge of Christ therefore always leaving the door open to coming back. Indeed, I believe the most basic stucture/fact about reality is that it is tilted (even if infinitesimally) towards God, and that rejecting God requires an eternity of swimming upstream, so to speak. It is also this fact of reality that biases those who choose Christ initially to stick with Him as they learn more and more about God and Creation through eternity.<br /><br />-Andrew E.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071413357901396149noreply@blogger.com
