The denomination in which I grew up were very old-school, non-charismatic, rationalist (and fairly academic) evangelicals. <br /><br />I'm quite challenged by the idea in Kim's post about those with severe learning difficulties having the vocation to teach the rest of us the Gospel. <br /><br />If you follow this train of thought logically using a Girardian lens, then that is actually the vocation of anyone who is excluded, oppressed or scape-goatted. It's very humbling and makes me realise how far short of the mark I fall!PamBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324370506889227234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-68395886621595035952006-12-05T19:23:00.000+00:002006-12-05T19:23:00.000+00:00I hadn't heard of salvation by cognition .... that...I hadn't heard of salvation by cognition .... that would leave out those who are mentally impaired and small children. If understanding is the way to salvation, I'm in trouble too.<br /><br />I remember a sermon I once read that gave an example of salvation ... two people have a test coming up. One studies night and day, the other goes out partying and never cracks a book - both pass the test.crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681674503952991492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-71128389972744232422006-12-05T19:17:00.000+00:002006-12-05T19:17:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681674503952991492noreply@blogger.com
