Practical Implications of God's Attributes
Ann has some good food for thought in a blog post about God's attributes (here's the link). I'm not sure whether ann's thoughts here are original or borrowed, but they are good way to stir up one's thoughts about God.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
If there was ever a present day example of why the RCC's doctrine for the human's need for their magisterium and their pope being infallible ex cathedra, is a fraud in its attempts to gain their acceptance, Ann's little catechism, one can link to hereon, is that example!
ReplyDeleteWhile it isn't hard reading like reading John Owen or Francis Turrentin, it is just as powerful, and maybe more so seeing I would find many more learning minds able to read and embrace and live both practically and spiritually, after after reading Ann than them!
Isa 2:5 O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Heb 6:3 And this we will do if God permits.
Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
1Pe 2:1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
1Pe 2:2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation--
1Pe 2:3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Well, here are some more practical implications of God's attributes..
ReplyDeleteLucian,
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a massive absence of reasoning to get someone from the text quoted to the tag-line applied to the text quoted.
