I understand your explanation Terry but didn't read the
same meaning into what Debbie wrote initially - I think her
last statement especially has to do with everybody
being taken up in the incarnation - a concept that I can't accept.
If I'm wrong she will probably straighten me out when
she gets back from the camping trip.
Hope you come through the storm in one piece; we did
when Isabella hit our area and there are still ppl with
blue tarps on their roofs in our area. On our
news tonight they said Dennis wouldn't hit FL until tomorrow
afternoon.
Will remember to pray for you and Vee - can't do
without that wisdom for too long now - judyt
Read it again, Judy. No one says Christ cannot live without us. Concentrate on "We are the weak link". If we are not saved, it is our own fault. Christ did His part. If we are saved, it is because we have done something in response to what Christ did.

Possibly, for all time. TerryWe are the weak link in the chain.To the extent we are able to live out our reconciliation to God at all, it is because of Christ in us.But it is not Christ without us who lives.
