O, the Frailty of Memory

2.27

Ope the doors of heaven and let the rains fall but once, and the whole world will swim in the vale of tears. God's will being uncontrollable, however, and his promises infallible, the world has little hope for catharsis aqueous. Instead, we must muddle along as we can in the grime.

    I feel there is a middle ground here.

    God promised that he would never again flood the earth. Until he comes back with the last Greek classical element that hasn't yet covered the earth, we are unable to leave.

    I got that, but regardless of the filth of the world, we still make our own choices. I don't think we have to be consigned to "muddling."

    Jesus told us to be perfect; if He asked us to be perfect, He must have given us whatever we need in order to do it.

    Water and fire have and will come, both in doses small and large, but I don't think they're the only kinds of cleansing we can have.

    God only offers individual cleansing now. Corporate cleansing will have to wait, for better or for best.

    I both agree and disagree. Didn't Ellen White say that Christ was waiting for His character to be perfectly reflected in His church? That implies a sort of corporate cleansing, doesn't it?

    Cleansing was treated as a corporate event for the children of Israel, and they're a sort of prototype for the world church today, aren't they?

    But yes, of course cleansing is also intensely personal; yes, of course not everyone on earth will accept that cleansing.
