Oven-Theology: Dedicated To Richard Lamoureux of Canada
My prayer is that you, maybe with a word I share, will love the Bible & adore Jesus. O, it is THE Book of books, Best Romances, adventures, evil people & nations stopped, lessons taught! Peter denied Jesus thrice before His execution. But the LOVE that restored him (& us) is hidden plainly in John 21. Jesus sees Peter swim ahead of the boat to see the resurrected Jesus! Jesus does not ask WHY the denials, or offer second chances. He simply asks, "Peter, do U love (agape) me?" Yes, THREE times. Humble Peter finally says, "You alone know." No longer brash, rash, first in class. That is how Peter was restored. Jesus & Love.
Smith Wigglesworth, on the Bible, the only book he learned to read at 23: "When i read the newspaper I feel dirtier than I went in. When I read the Bible I feel cleaner than I went in. And I like feeling clean." PTL, shalom & Aleluia
Thoughts I am expanding upon following Richard's generous visits to my recent posts, and his thought-provoking questions.
1. Why did the great psychoanalyst, Karl Jung, almost never condemn criminals and proven racists and evil leaders? (Good answers will receive, from moi, an ACROSTIC poem with your name/s.)
2. Before we romanticize the words of Jesus, "I am the BREAD of life," remember He was ready to go into the fire, literally through the Oven
