I am comforted when I am reminded of how Jesus expressed his own "inner conflict." He asks the Father if there was another way (Matthew 26:39) and wonders why the Father has forsaken Him (Matthews 27:46). The enemy often condemns me for my being human. These attributes of God help me understand that acknowledging what we are feeling is not necessarily sinful. God created us as emotional creatures. I am so glad he loves us with such passion.Todd Stanfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822444254002963165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824784333102326261.post-64002033172269272112009-11-28T11:47:35.112-05:002009-11-28T11:47:35.112-05:00That is a point well taken.

I certainly would never deny the full humanity of Christ and I am thankful that He has experienced the totality of the human experience.<br><br>However, I felt that by Yancey expressing that the Father had an "inner conflict" he was connoting (not intentionally) that God was somehow in a state of disagreement with Himself or somehow not completely sure of what He was doing.<br><br>Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you pointing me to the Scriptures on this matter. Perhaps I should be more careful with my wording next time.<br><br>In Christ,<br>DanielDanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12460737253680556443noreply@blogger.com
