“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death,”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wrong. We aren’t PARTNERS with God. God is the boss. We are subject to God’s will.
It’s so funny, because when you read the prophets, they refer to themselves as ‘The Slaves of Christ’. For all the esteem we hold Paul, Elijah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah in, they had a very tough life.
The rest of us get to choose, by contrast, on whether to do God’s will or not.
The concept of partnership with God is such a foreign one from the standpoint of Christian Apologetics.
