And He HIMSELF is THE MOST AND TRULY ONLY SOLID ETERNALLY SOLID FOUNDATION . . . for anything.
This is absolutely the main point to be grasped, IMHO. For this ROCK is the Logos, and the Alpha and Omega, of all creation. To not stand on this ROCK is to be suspended in mid-air, subject to the vagaries of blowing winds (e.g., "opinions") that carry us hither and yon to ultimate destruction.
Matt 7:24-25 says it better:
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
The world is as it is because of its foundation in this ROCK; we are as we are likewise because of our foundation in this ROCK. To reject this ROCK is a consummate act of sheer ingratitude, and perilous to ourselves; for everything scatters in the end, save what stands firmly on this ROCK.
My two-cents' worth -- hardly up to Alamo-Girl's astonishing eloquence, but my very humble testimony nonetheless.
Thanks so much for writing, Quix!
Thanks for your kind words.
Indeed you are, as usual, greatly correct.
I believe, as Scripture indicates . . . by Holy Spirit's ongoing sustaining power . . . creation remains . . . structured vs disintegrated. I suspect it's at the subatomic level or beyond our comprehension--the level.
