An exhortation from Greg on Genesis, miracles, and natural evil

[Djordje]

@Greg

I have studied Scripture for years now and am more convinced than ever that God’s scorecard has nothing to do w number of converts, or the smallness of number of those who WILL suffer if they dont repent of sin and received grace by faith in Christs atoning work on the cross. Rather, Gods scorecard is Himself and He wins. He is holy, self existent and the one and only ultimate. If there are no converts next year, He wins. He does not need me, you or anybody. Salvation is the privilege of coming into relationship with Him to illuminate Him and His goodness. The joy i have comes not from punching a conversion ticket that gives me the better me. Rather it comes when i take my eyes off me to Another who is infinately more worthy. If Christianity was all about wafting and marketing misc strategies to sort of deceive people into the fold, i know me- id run. It is rather central around Creator God who transcends nature who is worthy of our worship. He is the best decision i have made. The Bible says that the wisest thing we can do is to humbly choose Him.

I’ve heard all of the worst exclusivist and infernalist apologetics, but this one really takes the cake.
