Note in this section that we are under the law and under a curse, but that this is never attributed to God or His wrath against us and our need to have God appeased for us to be saved. We are under a curse, self-imposed, and under the law of what is our nature (our current state being below nature, unnatural), and God's wrath is like the fire of the furnace that did not hurt God's Children - or like the burning coal of Isaiah, or that we place in the lap of sinners by responding to their evil with good. The wrath is not imaginary, it is just a matter of whether this wrath is willed, allowed, or self-imposed perception.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1162226824205767842006-10-30T10:47:00.000-06:002006-10-30T10:47:00.000-06:00Tom,Thanks.

This citation from St. Cyril was chief in causing me to rethink the whole notion of an Anselmian infection that went unnoticed in Lutheranism. St. Cyril is basically Anselmian in approach before Anselm ever lived or breathed. He was simply a good, biblical theologian.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1162226113786618162006-10-30T10:35:00.000-06:002006-10-30T10:35:00.000-06:00Will,You always seem to have very fitting and time...Will,<BR/><BR/>You always seem to have very fitting and timely quotes.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Tom FastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
