Quite a way back you wrote to Rex (whom I miss greatly): "Do you mean that if God has blessed mankind as a whole to go forth and multiply and find goodness of life through sexual procreation, and that if Jesus is upheld as the perfect man, the Representative Man, if you like, the Mediator between God and Man, then shouldn't we expect to find Jesus wholeheartedly participating in every good thing that belongs to Man, including the good thing of sexual procreation? That is, even without getting into 'commandments' and 'must-do's', wouldn't Jesus, in being fully man, do all the good things that man does? Such as having children? Tell me if you think that's where the trouble lies, and we can take the discussion further :)" With that question asked, where would you have gone next in the discussion? Might it have concerned the meaning of being fruitful? ---Ford |
