Acceptable . . .

interesting word in this context.

I suppose . . . in the sense that it is acceptable that you drink a cup of hydrochloric acid.

I can get over it and go on living. I can accept it in that sense.

But it's not at all important--in most respects--whether I accept it or not.

THE FATHER said--THIS IS MY SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.

THE FATHER will have something to say at some point about one's acceptance or rejection of HIS 'only begotten' SON whom HE SENT to die for you--and whome HE RAISED again to prove it.

re: one's acceptance or rejection of HIS 'only begotten' SON

I wonder if the operative term here is 'rejection'. One is not rejecting something if they have no knowledge of it. If I have strep throat and the doctor does not offer me the option of penicillin to prevent the complications that so frequently develop with untreated strep it certainly can't be said that I rejected the treatment. Especially if I went to the doc, putting my full faith in him to do what would be best for me. Seems to me rejection requires an option and absent that you can't really term it rejection. Just a thought.
