These days I have less answers, positions, causes, or political theories than ever before. The one thing I really believe is that b/c Jesus is the savior of the world, the world will be saved. Call me naive or simple, I don’t mind. This is my one and only hope for the world.
@BrianZahnd It is the only outcome I am able to reconcile with “God is love”
@BrianZahnd Unless one is born again, of the Spirit & professes that Jesus Christ is Lord, repents (stops sinning) & walks in obedience to God’s righteous will, they will be saved. God wishes that non should perish, but only a remnant will be saved. Read the Bible, daily for understanding.
@BrianZahnd However you state it, the world has been saved, the world is being saved, the world will be saved. (Thank you Father Groschel)
@BrianZahnd oh, I want to believe that (as a retired theology professor - deconstructed). I've become agnostic in my answers regarding God ... and that would include the "salvation of the world". I still try to emulate the teachings of Jesus as we know them ...
@BrianZahnd Or as John Newton, put it on his deathbed. I know that I’m a great sinner, and he’s a great savior.
@BrianZahnd @DelaneyJohnA This is it! Amen. Because as the world turns, the cross remains the same. It transcends it all.
