To: Running On Empty

***God won’t let me go, but if I will to leave Him, He still won’t let me go? Or leaving Him, I am let go? But He doesn’t let me go? So if He doesn’t let me go, but I will to go, my will is not His will-—but still, He doesn’t let me go?***

The way that I understand it is that once the Reformed God hijacks your soul, you cannot get away no matter what you do. Now you must do works to show that you are hijacked which are really really important except that they aren’t and don’t matter. You can go out and sin and you will, but the Reformed God won’t let you sin TOO much and will pull you back in time to get that limo ride.

Oh, and Mary occupies a few verses in Luke, she might be mentioned during the Passion, but she is normally overlooked at Pentecost.

If you’re going to quote me Mark, the least you can do is ping me to it. Rules, ya know. And if you’re going to quote me, please do it accurately.

My salvation is sure in Christ. We can stray but he is always drawing us back. I don’t know what kind of problem folks see with that. I think it’s comforting to know that even when we sin, He’s always wooing us to Himself. When we return, like the Prodigal Son, remember him, the Father is always waiting with open arms. Isn’t your Father like that?
Your remarks are nasty and incorrect. I thought more of you than that.
