I believe that we humans do play a role, however limited, in obtaining salvation. At a minimum a man must make the effort to accept Christ as the Savior and to live as he commanded.

Additionally, it is often forgotten that God is an entirely different order of being than is man. The terms that apply to man, such as "Love," "Hate" etc. do not necessarily mean the same when applied to the Lord. To get around this problem some theologians use the concept of analogy. Analogy is a weak form of "reason" if it is "reason" at all?

Aren’t parables higher forms of analogy?....did not even Aesop communicate truth by the use of analogous fables? How should the 7 year old child understand the dangers of flattery unless he was told of the timeless tale of the Fox and the Crow?
