“and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” Heb.9.22 ESV
Every boy and girl who has ever played a game, knows that fudging is not only wrong, if it is tolerated it ruins the game. If we think about this long enough, we will come to see how utterly foolish is the modern notion that God would fudge his own rules. A good God doesn’t fudge nor will He allow fudging. God’s love and abounding goodness is revealed as much in His hatred of sin as it is in His grace and mercy toward the sinner. God would not be good if He were not just, nor would He love, if He simply overlooked our evil deeds. What kind of God would fudge? The shedding of Christ’s blood is a clear demonstration of His commitment to both justice and mercy. He will not just forgive us as though we never transgressed. His justice demanded blood; His love gave us the blood of Christ. God doesn’t fudge! 5/29/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
