To be honest, this conversation we're having is the third this week I've had about the same thing!! And I didn't start any of them, but I find myself joining all of them. ;) Part of me wonders if we who are the theological descendents of Calvin the Lawyerly Theologian are just not seeing the whole picture. Is sin a problem because it makes just God angry and He needs to vent it on His Son? Or is sin a problem because it separates us from a holy God? Both Berkhof and my Wesleyan theologian friend point toward the second. So that's what I'm teasng out. Another friend gave me a lengthy article that I'm digesting still, but I'm not sure that . . . well, agree with it wholly. ::shrug:: I really understand the wrestling, Andrew.
