Ducthboy your words are filled with Orthodoxy, and you seem to use the Holy Bible and God's Law as a very pointed sword to prick others.

Even though you use that sword to goad me and my goofy statements, I am under the shield of God's Grace given through his sacrifice by his Holy Spirit.

The only holes I am kicking in the ship are those filled with men's own works and the only rail I grasp is God's Grace which is Universal, even the wicked are it's beneficiaries.

"The Parable of the Pebble and the Pond" is from my own experience of the Pebble (The Holy Spirit) and the Pond (My response to it).

I guess I am at a loss as to which of my "concepts" you find so objectionable. Our God is a Paradox and leaves it to each of us to balance our understanding of the Law and Scripture through our experience of the Holy Spirit.

"The only holes I am kicking in the ship are those filled with men's own works and the only rail I grasp is God's Grace which is Universal, even the wicked are it's beneficiaries."

God's grace is not "Universal". You have confused the general care God provides for the non-elect (the rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous) with the application of grace, which is evidenced by the implantation of faith, leading to the forgiveness of sin and clothing in righteousness of Christ. Fuzzy, spiritual words used throughout your post may impress some as kind and loving. In truth, these are candy-coated poison full of death and destruction. Their lack of clarity and accuracy is the worst form of cruelty.

The reason you are, "at a loss" is that God has not granted the opportunity to observe the error, and damage, of this faulty teaching.
