Ten Reasons To Believe In God

[MajestyJo]

Received with thanks from my friend Carey.

The following was an additional comment from him with regard to the article above :

By and large this essay was good and thoughtful presenting many worthy arguments even though I personally don't agree with the classical "atonement" theory.

God might be dismayed with we errant creatures, but paying for sins through someone else's (even a God) suffering does not balance the scales of justice but adds on another wrong.

My personal thought was that God allowed His Son to pay the price, He gave us the gift of forgiveness, why can't we give it to ourselves. Many times we add to our own pain by lack of acceptance and by our fear of letting go, we make ourselves into the martyr and the victim when the price has already been paid.

Easter a time of forgiveness and new life.
