It has occurred to me, that in the universe that God has placed us, people have ultimate control of only one thing; our own attitude.
This is called “free will”.
Furthermore, it is our attitude that will be our judge, when we meet the Creator.
I often times attempt to transfer my own personal “law” or rules for salvation onto other men and women, but God has not granted this authority to me.
My self-imposed “law” or list of things ‘to do’ or ‘not to do’ will not be binding on anyone other than myself.
It is interesting to consider that all Christian churches, congregations, denominations, and even individual people have lists of rules for salvation. Some of those lists are formal written rules and laws, but many are just ingrained dogma that we have picked up from whomever has happened to have taught us along the road of life.
We seem to presume that the Creator of the universe will be obliged to judge all of mankind, on that final day, based upon our very own personal credo.
If only we could stop for a moment and consider how audacious this presumption truly is, we might be just a little more forgiving of our fellow human.
So at this point, possibly our question could be:
- What are the limits of God’s power to give life to a lifeless body?
God bless,

p.s. I believe the answer is in the preceding post.
