“I think I had a particular moment when I was 15 years old.

“It's incredibly arrogant to pick and choose which incomprehensible truths we embrace. No one wants to ditch God's plan of redemption [the cross], even though it doesn't make sense to us.

As soon as we do this, we are putting God's actions in submission to our own reasoning, which is a ridiculous thing for clay to do.” WantShouldWellsActionPlansPicksCrossesEmbraceRidiculousPunishmentRedemptionMake SenseReasoningArrogantSubmissionClayEraseGod's PlanRidiculous Things Book:Erasing Hell: What God Said about Eternity, and the Things We've Made Up Source: Erasing Hell: What God Said about Eternity, and the Things We've Made Up
