Going through trials greater than we can withstand. Contrast. An epistle written to God’t children in the fleshy tablets of our hearts. Godly sorrow vs wordly sorrow.
You discussed what it would be like to sacrifice your own sons. To me, God didn’t really sacrifice his son. He allowed him to go thru agony, but they had both agreed to it and right after his death on earth he returned to Father. Not the same as giving up our child as a sacrifice while he goes what/ where we don’t really know because we are not there.
Not really a comparison of apples to apples.
That said, I do understand it would be unbearable to watch your child tortured etc. even for a god.
I really really enjoy your ‘deep thinking’ and look forward to your podcasts after listening all week to some of the others. You seem to come up with new ways to consider what is being taught in our scripture reads.
