Well said!<BR/><BR/>And that is exactly and precisely the way in which we "reconile" John 5:22 and 1 Peter 1:17.<BR/><BR/>To wit, by this:<BR/><BR/>"Because He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom He has ordained;" (Acts 17:31)<BR/><BR/>And by this:<BR/><BR/>"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30)<BR/><BR/>No conflict, no contradiction. Yet it is proper to ascribe creation to the Father and judgment to the Son.<BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>AnastasiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-61897539014319909592007-07-02T10:33:00.000-05:002007-07-02T10:33:00.000-05:00Anastasia,I'm not sure I follow your question.

The Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is wholly involved in creation.<BR/><BR/>"Through Him all things were made" St. John confesses of the Eternal Word.<BR/><BR/>"You send forth Your Spirit and they are created and You renew the face of the earth" sings the Psalmist.<BR/><BR/>The Church confesses that Creation is the work of God the Father accomplished through God the Son and by the power of God the Holy Spirit.
