The "God of the living" has done infinitely more than saving my undying soul from hell.

Even if theologically incorrect, Jesus Christ's power of attraction rests upon his self-sufficient life, which "not even death will ever be able to overcome", a.k.a., "his glory" or eternal life, which he is still sharing with everyone who believes in him. Amen.

(Matt. 16:18; John 3: 14-17; 14: 18-21; 19: 30-37)

Let us be careful not to presume understanding unconditional love as portrayed, once and for all, in Christ's death on the cross without a radical change in our way of thinking.

75% of the first disciples missed the Premiere and required 40 additional days of rehearsal prior to their full acceptance.

(Matt. 16: 13-28; 26: 47-56; Acts 1: 1-5)

What is outstanding for urgent solution is the contradiction between Christ's presence and exercise of absolute authority today, as once demonstrated, (Matt. 28: 18-20; Acts 2) and the questionable hope for the day of his return.

It is either one or the other. The latter has little or no Scriptural justification. Or has it?

My hope is to someday be able to display that kind of love,until then I am in training.

Please allow me to make a slight change in the interesting terms of your simultaneous equations, which I find highly relevant for Jesus Christ's power of attraction.

"Friends are for comfort and protection". (no change)
"Christ is for learning perfection". (with significant change)

Thank you.
