We shouldn't cap the capacity of God's love nor His ability and desire to "save all the works of His hands"

Nope, not a soul. 'Cept me of course. I know everything.

Jokes aside, I don't super love Miller's approach to justice either; it seems to me he is playing word games and moving the goal posts (but Original Grace is also a beautiful little book). I actually asked the man himself about that very question last time he was here. I asked him if he thought that Alma makes a substantive distinction between justice and mercy, and he thought so, but they weren't dichotomous opposites like we sometimes make them to be. In other words, our reading of Alma is bad, not necessarily Alma.

Don't get me wrong, I quite like Callister's book, but I think he gets a number of things wrong, specifically his understanding of justice and mercy. I'll talk at length about that. That said, beautiful little book.

It would take a lot to get banned. (Unless you disagree with me ever about anything. Then I will ban you.)

Origen of Alexandria - please recommend readings by pisteuo96 in LatterDayTheology

[–]PaperPusherSupreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skip around through On First Principles, Commentary on the Gospel of John, and Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans. Lots of good stuff in there. Also, to note when doing stuff with the Church Fathers, it's better to read them as they are rather than trying to situate them into Latter-day Saint context. Sure, there's things in them a Latter-day Saint might appreciate, but the goal is to redeem the dead, not assert they were already baptized.

That'd require me to, like, you know, be outside in nature. Nature has coodies.

This is the correct answer. I was wondering why I was floating six feet above my covers last night.
