Jesus would have had to be thinking on a totally different plain than the people he was taking to. I am willing to accept that Jesus was not concerned with logical consistancy, but that would be the only way to properly take on this theology. In fact I'm darn close to accepting it. <BR/><BR/>They hear "your sins are forgiven" He's saying "to me your sins are forgiven because of what I did on the cross" (even tho He hasn't been there yet on the timeline) This sounds good but does it make sense? I'm still deciding.<BR/>Thanks agin Dugall you're stretching me.wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928317.post-1112949668770598902005-04-08T04:41:00.000-04:002005-04-08T04:41:00.000-04:00dugallYou have no idea how excited I am to see you...dugall<BR/><BR/>You have no idea how excited I am to see you commenting on my blog.<BR/><BR/>To respond to your comment... I haven't yet thought of it that way. It does sustain that the cross is still about the forgiveness of sin, and I like that but I'm afraid im still a bit skeptical about it. I'm not sure if it's really consistant with Jesus normal language. Was it normal for Jesus to speak of things outside a "timeline" existance? Would it be possible that this is unique in that way? That Jesus just this once was speaking in this way? <BR/><BR/>I like your take on this. I'm willing to take accept this view but if I do it'll still be a little cloudy... like most theology. Thanks bro you got great insight!wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928317.post-1112844749295913942005-04-06T23:32:00.000-04:002005-04-06T23:32:00.000-04:00Yeah I relate.

But as long as we view it in our cultural context and assume they would be the same in comparrison, that just wouldn't really explain it.wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.com
