Fair comment, but on the other hand we will get a far better deal in heaven than we do on earth, which is just a place of sorrows that we are passing through. It's that perspective on our reality down here which just about keeps me going. There's an interesting question about whether the crucifixion caused permanent damage - a continuing experience of pain in some sense - to our God - because of the rupture of the otherwise eternal relationships within it. Comments anyone? |
