Google brought me here. Have you ever thought that St. Augustine was wrong in regards to this idea. He could not read Greek and came up with some very wrong ideas about Christianity based on bad Latin translations. JL I was reading one of your old posts on a just war. Google brought me here.

This video rips those who have been saved and torn from the clutches of powers far greater than our abilitly and screams of the intervention of CHRIST, who gave himself as a sacrifice to GOD for sin. The only thing separarting us (mankind) from GOD YAHWEH* We identify with this RESCUE so much because we have been rescued but one thing is certain we also needed to FIGHT to get back to him and we needed to WANT to be back in HIS arms so to speak... Just my humble two cents.... Great love & Joy, Lisa Hi there,

One thing the camera failed to do is to keep tabs on God/Jesus. When she was coming to the end of herself (contemplating suicide), if you watch the one glimpse the camera gives, it is at the same time that Jesus is dying on the cross. If you don't know to watch him, you miss that part completely - and the story loses a vital point of impact. They also missed showing him arise from the dead - but I knew because it was then she began to try to come back to Him. I think something is to be found in that. The lifeline he had I admit I didn't fully understand. But I think if you see that she never truly chose to come back to him until he was done dying on the cross, then you see it wasn't until then that we even had the ability to. The other thing that struck me personally is that she was redeemed (white shirt) shortly after his resurrection (I'm sure the timing was off due to the skit’s limitations). Her shirt was white (redeemed), yet still she struggled against sin. How many Christians stumble with the reality of strongholds that took root before we were saved, and have yet to be completely destroyed. When we turn it over to Christ to come to us, then we allow His strength to save us. I would like to comment on some things that I saw in the video.

My post wound up a lot longer than I realized, and even then I left something out, so I will add it now. If you have any suggestions for additional changes to the skit, I would love to hear your ideas. Darryl Jim,

I believe, from what you have written, that your version of the skit will present a more accurate depiction. However, it is always hard to depict--in any medium--the duality of our existence (the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man). I hope you can do that in a way that is honest, accurate, and impacting. Sincerely, Jim Darryl,
