In its place, various ideas of exclusivity, division and categorisation have dominated. It's time we got over the Newtonian view of the universe as a closed system machine, and the Descartian View of man as a mere individual, and started realising that most leading science of the last 100 years has began to take a view of life as being all about relatedness. I'd encourage you to be very bold in declaring what the bible says about connectedness. We live in a world where we are more aware of difference than similarity, and where it suits those in power to divide and rule, both economically, politically and spiritually. Of course the doctrine of Hell, Everlasting Separation, is the lynchpin underlying EVERY philosophy of division, for it is the Ultimate Division. How does G-d who is ONE, at the end of all things, cause all things to become TWO? It's philosophical annihillation, and utter nonsense to any thinking (non-brainwashed) person. So as I see it Grace is intimately part of the Connectedness of all things. Keep up the investigation!

Its the only thing that will. When we can embrace each other in the light of our eqaulity then what else may I ask would prevent us from loving one another. Then the only thing left would be to act it out, but unless we first see we are truly equal and connected then it can never happen. As I was reading through this post what came to mind is how religion and its many faces and names has served to divide us instead of unite us, how very sad indeed. I'm just grateful that regardless of how it plays out in my lifetime or how I percieve things it has all been made right in the cross of Christ. This event alone stands above time and remains untainted by man. I must believe this to have any faith at all. Yes Steve I do believe Jesus got His prayer answered, when He asked the Father that they would All be made one. What hope we have in Christ. He truly is our All in All. Thanks Cliff for continuing to share such good news, have a great weekend. Its seeing this amazing truth that can bring real peace to this war torn world. Its the only thing that will.
