Perhaps I should give it another go. I know it's been helpful for many people and if it inspires you to live a life that is more obviously shapped by the ways of Jesus then that's great.<br /><br />I think I'm right in saying that for a while Starbucks were printing some of Rick Warren's wise words (along with other notable figures) on the side of their paper cups.Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333341186856092779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359308.post-14074710272515541452009-09-10T21:40:09.751+01:002009-09-10T21:40:09.751+01:00Have you read The Purpose Driven Life?

I didn't happen to check the date on this post, but it doesn't really matter. If you are seeking any kind of guidance in taking action to serving God and showing others the alternative way of life, I have a lot of faith that God anointed this book. I have learned much about myself, my relationship with God, and God through reading it and studying it.Snot Head (a.k.a Kylie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13500317644400500113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359308.post-47754308306750454592008-04-05T12:59:00.000+01:002008-04-05T12:59:00.000+01:00Just realised I've been missing out on the ongoing...Just realised I've been missing out on the ongoing conversation. In response to Nicole's question - the traditional answer is to say that whilst Jesus died to punish all sin, only those who choose to accept the forgiveness through Jesus are set free - John 3:16.

Nick, any thoughts?)<BR/><BR/>It caused me to think about the words in 1 Peter 3:18 that say:<BR/><BR/>"Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God."<BR/><BR/>When it says "for all" does that mean everyone will go to heaven? I don't know! (I know there are those who couldn't stand the thought of eternity with God).<BR/><BR/>Like you, and others, I'm on a quest to try and figure these things out in a way I can understand and relate to. I'd love to hear more about your journey. Do you blog?<BR/><BR/>By the way, if you are studying this further you'll soon discover a number of theories about why Jesus died - sacrifice, substitution for punishment, liberation, restoration of creation, victory over sin and death, reconciliation, ransom.... Lots to dig deep into!Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333341186856092779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359308.post-48150904341609371032008-04-02T14:32:00.000+01:002008-04-02T14:32:00.000+01:00Hey Marcus, thought I'd leave a comment on this be...Hey Marcus, thought I'd leave a comment on this because it's a very interesting idea. I'm going to have to research this further. Another thought of mine is if Jesus took the punishment that everyone deserved, why would someone who doesn't accept Christ be punished when they die? Wouldn't that mean God is punishing the sin twice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359308.post-46793969790817414082008-03-29T23:06:00.000+00:002008-03-29T23:06:00.000+00:00Hi miz melly! Welcome to the Coffeehouse. Thanks...Hi miz melly! Welcome to the Coffeehouse. Thanks for your comment. It's always nice to see a new name from out of the blue!<BR/><BR/>Asking questions and inteligently seeking answers can only be a good thing in matters of faith, I believe. (It was Jesus' suggestion anyway! - Luke 11:9). The more I embark on journeys such as this the more I discover loads of people on a similar quest, and yes, it does cause you to think the big, big questions of God. Don't forget your First Love. It's what I keep coming back to.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it would be helpful to not think of previous assumptions as so much crumbling away, but rather as the first paving stones on your pathway of faith and life. You wouldn't be where you are now without those early steps.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to Tom Wright's new book - it's "in the post". Did you read the book that proceeded it? 'Simply Christian'.

It's scary when the way you've thought for years is challenged and old assumptions begin to crumble but I hope it's part of the refining fire that will make me stronger in the end.Miz Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294117022058463738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359308.post-35506773342411345302008-03-28T13:47:00.000+00:002008-03-28T13:47:00.000+00:00Thanks, Nick.

I too would have sat through these classes while in training, but not really taken it all it. (Actually I'm not sure how much I took in during other classes too!) I've even read a little about this in the past year, but the other night something just clicked.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading more on this subject. The theory of Christus Victor sounds appealing too.Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333341186856092779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359308.post-76697490436494195222008-03-27T22:22:00.000+00:002008-03-27T22:22:00.000+00:00This is good stuff!

I mean when I was at Training College and sitting through doctrine classes and going through all the atonement theories, I just wasn't really that into it - it just wasn't answering the questions I had at the time. But reading your posts here suddenly makes me interested.<BR/><BR/>I wondered if the ransom was paid to 'death' or 'sin'? Not the devil, not God but to the very 'falleness' that humankind has found itself in.Nick Cokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970942834901802318noreply@blogger.com
