That's really not what I was expecting. Thanks for answering.
Can you explain what your answer to number 1 means? It doesn't seem to include anything about human wellbeing whatsoever.
Wow indeed I have been repeating this for 80+ pages and you just now got it (albeit unexpectedly)
It means what it says. It's a paradigm shift from ascribing a 'good or bad value' to works.
Let's say their is billion dollar prize for a race between NYC and London but you can't fly or use any type of water vessel, past or currently in use. the idea being to try and change how we travel.
Then let's say there are a group of really good swimmers who think the can make the journey and they set off, most of which never loose sight of Hudson bay. but a handful make it 3 days into a month long swim. then 1/2 of them make it 5, then one super good swimmer makes it 1/2 way.
Now if the goal was to create a new way to travel but these douche bag swimmers only look at bridging the gap, or rather just getting to London not using a current or past vehicle, did the people who couldn't make it out of the harbor do a good job, if the goal was to create a new way of travel? what about the guys who swam for 5 days? what about the guy who made it 1/2 way? No of course not! they all failed to meet the end goal of London and what's more important they failed to comprehend the true goal of the race to begin with!
You 'good' people are swimming in the Atlantic. Christianity is a transatlantic tunnel or transporter/the new way to bridge the transatlantic gap.
The basis of Christianity, Biblical Christianity is to seperate us from the law. Meaning the 'saved' are not judged by the law therefore our deed good or bad neither qualify or disqualify us from salvation.
Before I go on do you understand all of this?
