How can God redeem us?... You err in not knowing the power of God.. He redeems us through faith (our faith).. which buys a lot in the economy of God.. People can have faith in a lot of things.. Faith is the key to "the kingdom".. What you have faith in is question.. The right key will open the gate(s) the wrong key will not..
How do you get That key, the right key?.. I would say through prayer.. Some have many keys on their key chain.. Knew a handy man once that had many keys on a key chain.. all the right ones for various locks.. But THIS key can be only obtained through prayer, I believe..
Who knows.... this post could be a challenge to you to seek another key..
I love how so many people said that this is not breaking news, but its on the 2nd page of posts...anywho, on subject, hey are we gonna be like the muslims that were pissed over the depictions of mohammad? no, we live in the civilized west, and will therefore surrender to it as free speech.
Sin creates a gap between man and God that only God can traverse. He does this by reaching out to, and assuming human nature in His own person, the person Jesus Christ. This person is truly man and truly God. By becoming our humanity on the cross, Jesus is able to make the infinite reperation, the ultimate sacrifice needed to repair the rift between humanity and God.
It matters very much if Jesus is not truly man and truly God. If God takes on a cloak, an appearance of humanity, but never truly becomes one of us, then His sacrifice does not benefit us.
