When you (so eloquently) ask "Why are we willing to rely on God for healing but not protection, particularly protection from something that Christ has already defeated and has lost its sting," well...it comes off as a bit smug. Despite what Paul wrote and Shakespeare and others have quoted again and again, there is a very real spiritual and emotional sting that goes with the loss of life. I understand where you're nudging me, as a reader, and I completely support that. We need to live our lives with the confidence of God's grace in the atoning sacrifice of God's son, not hunker down in Walmart-stocked bunkers to await the end times. Maybe one day unafraid of death, but I'm not there yet. In Matthew 5:48 Jesus asks us to be perfect, but I'm still working on that one, too.... ;'}Martha-Lynn https://www.blogger.com/profile/12808515783580455919noreply@blogger.com
