I like your logical thought process. I actually agree that the story most likely means the baby died. I listed some of the other possibilities as a record of my stream of consciousness meditating on it. Determining that the baby died is really the easy part. However, I think the intrigue and true value of the story (and by extention all literature) is how it invites us to step into the mother's shoes (figuratively speaking of course!) and ponder the possible depths of her agony. Your obviously a logical guy, so I'd like to know what you think. What are your thoughts concerning the mother's story (not just the fact that her baby died)? I assume you believe that's worth considering--even though it is speculative and not a part of the story proper. Peace, Brian Max,

But it took a while to get to that point. When I first read it I simply didn't get it. Buit now, I can't stop thinking about it. I absolutely love this story.

]]> Comment on Is Love the Controlling Attribute of God? by A Free Spirit http://dangitbill.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/is-love-the-controlling-attribute-of-god/#comment-1385 A Free Spirit Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:26:42 +0000 http://dangitbill.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/is-love-the-controlling-attribute-of-god/#comment-1385 So what does it mean to say that the source of existence (i.e., God) is love? I would argue the question points to the metaphysics of love rather than simply saying that God creates existence (or, the world) because God loves it.

]]> Comment on Integrative Paper Proposal by dante mably http://dangitbill.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/integrative-paper-proposal/#comment-1382 dante mably Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:18:24 +0000 http://dangitbill.wordpress.com/?p=450#comment-1382 Just ran across your blog while looking to see if a particular Kline article was online. I also noticed that you completed your thesis. I too am an RTS grad (2007); my thesis had Vos and Kline as influences but unfortunately, my reader turned out to be antagonistic to Kline and redemptive-historical BT in general. I imagine Griffith was very helpful. Just ran across your blog while looking to see if a particular Kline article was online. I also noticed that you completed your thesis.

No one could see Heaven unless it was through Him. Michael is in God's hands now and is judged by the scriptures. To many men he would have been god-like, but he was not God.
