He would not and, has said so. He is, however,
quite incorrect. He's just a 'fundy' with a vocabulary and good
grammar.

I am a "Fundie" with a Capital F
I would dare say David would not classify himself as such

Sadly, it just such prattle that permits the

be illiterate 'fundies' of the first order. However, your respective 'fundy'
hearts would appear to be motivated to share Christ on a regular basis with
others. God is gracious!!

This is the best and clearest example of why & how Barfh is a
Christian?
Did he apply this to himself? Did he take Jesus as his personal
savior? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The event of the death of Christ is the execution of the
judgment of God, of the gracious God who in the giving of His son in our
place, and the lowly obedience of the Son in our place, reconciled
the world with Himself, genuinely and definitely affirmed man as His
creature in spite of his sin, cried to the heaven, confirmed His
faithfulness towards him, and carried through His covenant with
him............... Barth (Church Dogmatics, iv.1, p
514)
Words written by one who is involved in the very
story for which Christ experienced.

It is interesting to me that God dealt with the fall
of man as He did. His was a solution considered in a world
(eternity) very different from ours -- inaccessible, in
fact, except through faith (now) and dying (later). But
the administration of this "consideration" was in our world
-- a world that God created, rules over but cannot
indwell apart from a humiliation (Philip 2) and a surrender of
his eternal existence in death. That is a remarkable
action on the part of the Christian God. I believe that
what He did for us is what He HAD to do. The fall left Him
without a choice. And He knew of this demand before our
creation. The Son of God was just that, the Son, before
the foundations of the world (John 17) and it was out of this passion
that we are created!!
The "creation," then, was not a
statement of His power so much as it was of His grace.
(These words are mine ---------- the
inspiration, such as it is, for these words came from
Barth. To argue that Barth is not profoundly a Christian
is ill-informed, at best)
