As for the income tax, I can't quote chapter and verse, but it seems like it must somehow be the result of the curse of sin!<BR/><BR/>DRSDRShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13198878981483483288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-1167071412865505022006-12-25T11:30:00.000-07:002006-12-25T11:30:00.000-07:00Charles -- Since I haven't received The Ensign for ... well, ever, I can't answer your question. <BR/><BR/>Well, I like that rendition anyway! ;-)<BR/><BR/>God bless!William N.

Won't that have been a lot easier?<BR/><BR/>But instead, the Creator takes on the form of the created and allows himself to be killed by them. But most significant, during this definitive act of human injustice, he suffers something far worse than a Roman spike or scourge: He bears the wrath of a holy God for OUR sin. And somehow, this satisifies the infinite justice of a holy God (Isaiah 53). <BR/><BR/>I don't completely understand it, but I'm thankful for it! "[G]reat is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh." (I Tim 3:16 KJV)<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you and your family.DRShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13198878981483483288noreply@blogger.com
