Smelly God?

Does God speak through a smelly security guard ranting about Mexicans?

Can one take floating words and mingle them into desired context –
so that the perspective of the receiver is altered?

Is this allowed?

“Stay right hear until I let you out.” –
“I’ll open the door for you when it’s time for you to leave.” –
“I am the one that opens and closes the gate.” –
“There are others who said I would open the gate, but they do not have the authority to speak for me.” –

Are these words?

God?

Security Man?

Do you believe in fate or chance?

Do they embrace?

[ John 3:16-21

“There's a kind of asymmetry to Jesus' words in this text—those who don't believe have themselves to blame, but for those who do believe, the credit goes to God, not to themselves.

Jesus did not come to a neutral world. He didn't come to make neutral people positive, but he came to those already dead and guilty to make some alive and free.

Those who don't come to Jesus in faith magnify his justice, while those who do come magnify his grace.”

Are you of science?

Are you of faith?

Do they mingle?
