]]> Comment on Atonement by Ernest Prabhakar http://www.kevinnardi.com/theosophile/2009/06/05/atonement/comment-page-1/#comment-259 Ernest Prabhakar Sat, 06 Jun 2009 19:55:02 +0000 http://www.kevinnardi.com/theosophile/?p=104#comment-259 Yeah, I'm not sure how much can be absolutized, but I think you are definitely on to something. The hard fact is that reconciliation involves three parties (God, you, and the other person) and each has a stake in the process. Note also the symmetry between that Saul tried to do to the Gibeonites and what they did to his family. Yeah, I’m not sure how much can be absolutized, but I think you are definitely on to something.

If we already have forgiveness for our sin, atonement isn't necessary. But a right heart will desire to atone for sins committed against others, and should seek it ("I'm sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?"). If the other party can forgive without atonement, that is good for them, but the one who sinned should not expect it.

Just wanted to say I really like what you're doing on this site. Good stuff. Also, send me your current e-mail address and phone number. I have apparently lost a lot of friend's contact info through getting a new phone. Kevin! Just wanted to say I really like what you’re doing on this site. Good stuff.

I can certainly identify with being frustrated with "life" -- I felt that way for much of mine. Being married (and now a parent) helps; now I just long for sleep, rather than death. :-) More seriously, I think the answer is to cultivate an appropriate "thirst for glory" -- rather than for comfort. Something I touched upon in my last LEAD! lesson: http://2transform.us/2009/02/24/lead-b9-from-sloth-to-fruitfulness/ Look forward to talking with you soon. Another great post, Kevin.
