The money is in an account.
You have to go the bank to get the money.
No money is going to be sent to until you claim it.
The money is a gift not something you earned.
But to get the gift you have to go the bank and claim the money in your name.
Now, the money is in the bank.
It is still money even if you do not claim it.
***No money is going to be sent to until you claim it.***
I don't need the money sent to me. It is already in the bank in my account. That IS what you told me.
And, if that is true, then it is already my money whether I go to the bank or not.
If it is not in my account, then what you are really telling me is that when Jesus hung on the cross he didn't hang on the cross for any one person in particular. He merely obtained a large sum of money. Wow, isn't that cold and impersonal.
Plus, it makes God out to be some kind of Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes coordinator where everyone wins and must come down and "claim" (your word) their prize. Talk about making the shed Grace of God tawdry and impersonal.
Christian.
