LILY ROSE:
HAPPY to be of any assistance, in spite of any differences to the contrary.
L.B.:
I fully concur that an ACTUAL relationship with the DIVINE can occur, in spite of the doctrinal conflicts that both the Bible and Christianity represent. I merely chose a route with fewer impediments.
I like your suggestion of "The Good Father", but it would not have had the same impact in ticket sales.
FCSLC:
Agree with your Marcion scenario, but as we know, the early church was a pretty big mess. It was the more powerful who won out, not the most SPIRITUAL.
TLW version of 'fire & brimstone' was definitely the 'obedience' version, but with the same consequences--a more 'kindler & gentler' form of 'blessed judgment'.
