(April 26, 2011 at 10:51 pm)OnlyNatural Wrote: A Christian friend on Facebook posted this over Easter:

Quote:I am overwhelmed with gratefulness for what Jesus did for you and for me on the cross. I'll never be able to fully comprehend the great exchange of his suffering and death for my sin. Because of his death, I can live. Because He loved me anyway in my wretched and sinful state, I can place all my trust in Him.

I just don't get this twisted mindset anymore...
Every time I hear this I ask what happened before Jesus was nailed to the cross? Nobody reached salvation because Jesus hadn't been sacrificed yet? The response is always about the new covenant and I just tune out because I don't like leaps in logic.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
