I was tempted to give up, but despair is a lazy kind of pride (so says Wendell Berry), so I’m re-reading that creed thing<\/a> to see if my mutterings might help John<\/a> to see that I am on the Lord’s side too. <\/p>\n

Following Andrew’s points:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This to me is nicer than believing in God because of say the ontological proof. I think the doctrine of Creation (God saw that it was very good. Woman and Man messed it up early on. Creation looks and waits for God’s true children to treat it right) is one of the key ones that people around today need to hear.<\/li>\n
  2. Seems there’s a missing middle eight to this point about the role of those who do<\/strong> have particular knowledge of God.<\/li>\n
  3. Amen.<\/li>\n
  4. Yep, makes sense to me. Perhaps worth emphasising that’s not the end of the story, except for for Israel. Resurrection should probably be slotted in here.<\/li>\n
  5. Oooo yeah, like a hen sheltering her chicks.<\/li>\n
  6. The devolvment of Israel’s defining symbols onto Jesus is an important theme Reformed theology AFAIKA has missed.<\/li>\n
  7. I like the incompleteness\/tentativeness Andrew shows after this point. Humility.<\/li>\n
  8. Wow, that’s a great summary.<\/li>\n
  9. Stimulating and inspiring to work. Evidently has been reading NTW.<\/li>\n
  10. Ah, that’s what I was looking for at point four. 10b feels like the ‘swept from off the land’ of our versification<\/a> of Psalm 1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
