Prodigal: Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: I get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the Jews there suddenly turns up a man who goes about talking as if He was God….Among Patheists anyone might say that he was a part of God, or one with God: there would be nothing very odd about it. But this man, since He was a Jew, could not mean that kind of god. God, in their language, meant the Being outside the world Who made it and was infinitely different from anything else. And when you have grasped that, you will see that what this man said was, quite simply, the most shocking thing that has ever been uttered by human lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:2 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
