Guvnah:
I found the quote from CS Lewis’ “Mere Christianity” that addresses my take on the specificity of what the Crucifixion was/means/does:
“Of course you can express this in all sorts of different ways. You can say that Christ died for our sins. You may say that the Father has forgiven us because Christ has done for us what we ought to have done. You may say we are washed in the blood of the Lamb. You may say that Christ has defeated death. They are all true. If any of them do not appeal to you, leave it alone and get on with the formula that does. And, whatever you do, do not start quarreling with other people because they use a different formula from yours.”
That’s beautiful, Guvnah, and very true. I appreciate you posting it here.
Well…dang!
Thanks for that info.
I’d just assumed (and yeah, I fit the first part of that cliche this time) that it was a generic icon indicating that “some” post from that person/icon had been responded to, not that it brought up the actual specific post…
