Jesus is Jacob’s ladder. He’s the bridge between heaven and earth. We don’t climb our way up into God’s presence, but he descends to us from heaven while we’re asleep.
Today, we learn about A.T. Robertson and one of his monumental achievements: a 1500-page grammar of the Greek New Testament. As Robertson once quipped, “the greatest proof that the Bible is inspired is that it has survived so much bad preaching.”
There’s no promise in the Bible that if you do cast lots you will get the right answer. The basic problem with casting lots is that it does not require any transformation of the mind at all. If someone makes this a pattern in their life, they are out of step with the Bible.
The difference between Christianity and all other religions simply boils down to GRACE. No one gets to heaven on their own merit, but on the merit of Jesus Christ the righteous.
This signals deep differences in your most basic spiritual instincts. I cannot imagine that you both have the same heartfelt conviction about the authority and preciousness of the Bible.
