Just noticing ...Thanks for sharing the song, Dale.<br /><br />Just noticing on your sidebar that you didn't like Napoleon Dynamite? I guess I can see that. But boy did it make me laugh. Glad you liked Atonement. I was going to read the book but it is so much like the movie I figured it redundant in light of everything else I've got to read.<br /><br />Anyway, about your song. I hate that I'm always relating everything you write to Barth, so maybe I shouldn't. Your readers will think I'm a jerk. But heck, as you know its what I'm reading write now, and this is conversation, and based on the grace you've always extended in the past, I'm sure you'll forgive me! So here goes: <br /><br />I'm intrigued that Barth draws out the utter incomprehensibility of the seeming contradictions that the true revelation of God brings to us (i.e. Lord as Servant, Servant as Lord), but then insists that Jesus Christ in Himself is whole, and that sin is the real paradox, the impossible possibility that in time will be no more, and in fact in the Son of God and Son of Man has been rendered null and void already. Curious.<br /><br />That doesn't take away from your song, of course. Don't hear me that way. What your song marvels in, if I'm hearing it right, is that this very condescension of God to humanity is so utterly un-graspable from our side, but has nonetheless been given from His. Right?Jon Couttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728055140831842717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068123822395678541.post-71889556228669445912010-01-25T08:54:31.655-07:002010-01-25T08:54:31.655-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jon Couttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728055140831842717noreply@blogger.com
