Could it be that God's jealousy for His glory is related to His love for self, and that the Calvinist's emphasis on the sovereignty and glorification of God is our best way to recognize that love?

Here is a question for you xzins. I bring this up because Stanley Jones completely missed this in his book: Does God ever ask us to do anything that He Himself will not do?

He would violate his own nature in doing so. For God never asks us to do anything that he himself is not doing. ~ Stanley Jones

Now, in the narrow confines of what Jones was discussing, he was correct, God did exactly as he asks us. But does God ever ask us to do something--anything--that He Himself is not doing?

Yes, the question is related to what we are talking about. And I'll stipulate right up front that the Calvinist answer is YES.

Re. 135.

Yes it is directly related to what we are discussing, and Yes the Calvinist answer is Yes.

So then he didn't miss it after all. Or are you pulling something out of context to trash one of the greatest missionaries, evangelists and statesmen of the last century?
