What a jerk.

Great great comment here. Unfortunately its knee deep in a very long post. I thought it would be good to pull it out for some fresh air for all to see.

[Regarding Free Will & God's Sovereignty]

Paradox: A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true.Though there is no room in the Truth for contradiction, there is ample evidence of paradox.


So simple, so short, so true.

Jerk. This is MY blog. Quit trying to hog all the attention.

David Porta would be proud -- found this quote on a Lutheran website:

The plain fact is that God has chosen to reveal Himself in Divinely authorized and instituted paradox. Therefore, true Christian theology approaches God’s revelation with a humble mind, bent on receiving God’s truth in the very paradox in which God couches it, and determined not to mess with God’s revelation by attempting to eliminate the paradox through the juggling acts of human reason and logic. True Christian theology receives what God has given, and delivers it to the faithful. True Christian theology is what Dr. Luther calls it: "the theology of the cross," in clear distinction and opposition to any other approach to God’s Word, which Luther calls "the theology of glory." God’s Word is rightly divided, understood, and delivered to you, if and only if it embraces and proclaims the paradox which is the theology of the cross.
