This is the spiritual blindfold I was speaking of.
We want to do it OUR way... Man considers himself sufficient in all things...
---

I took this to mean that deliberations on judgement is not a clear cut thing becasue the concept is innately difficult for us to comprehend and understand, something I concur with. Obviously you have ideas on how this works, but it seems to me that one can interpret what is in the bible in different ways. I was discussing my 'views' on it with this premise in the background.

As far as finding Jesus - We can only all try to do our best and get to know Him and/or God as well as we can! I think you will concur that reasoning and logical thinking only gets you so far...

OH... ok... thank you. You did misread me.
I was expanding upon what you said about grace based salvation being more fair than works based salvation. You were absolutely correct in this assessment. God IS just and perfectly fair... but man cannot see this truth because of his pride in self accomplishment. It goes back to us needing to recognize that we cannot live up to God's standard. Our only hope is in Jesus who paid the price for our sin in our stead.

Yes... reasoning and logic can only take us so far.
It is now time for you to take that leap of faith.
