Quotes by Lawrence R. Farley (?)

“Thus, it is not because the question of how the world came to be was a burning one that Genesis opens with the Creation. And the modality or method of creation is not even the main point of the Creation story. The Hebrew creation story was as much polemic as it was anything else. Its main point is not, 鈥淭his is how the world came into existence,鈥� but rather, 鈥淥ur Jewish tribal God is sovereign over the whole world.鈥� What would strike the ancients the most forcefully from the story was not the statement, 鈥淕od made the world out of nothing,鈥� but the statement, 鈥淵ahweh Elohim made the world鈥濃€攁nd therefore the Hebrews who alone worship this God are assured of victory. In contemporary North America, where proponents of creation science square off against proponents of evolution in a kind of political mud wrestling, and where questions of exactly how the world came into existence dominate the discussion, it is easy to miss the main point of the Creation story. The question of the mechanics of how the world came into existence was not central, or even important. The question of which deity was sovereign was.”

“Let us struggle with all our powers to gain Paradise. The gate is very narrow, and don鈥檛 listen to those who say that everyone will be saved. This is a trap of Satan so that we won鈥檛 struggle. 鈥擲t. Paisios the Athonite, d. 1994”

“This was not God鈥檚 plan. God planned to transcend the timeless and deadly dichotomy of 鈥渦s鈥� and 鈥渢hem,鈥� to tear down the dividing wall that separated Jew and Gentile. He planned to 鈥済ather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad鈥� (John 11:52), to create a new people who shared a new nature. He planned a Kingdom which had no borders, needed no armies, and would need to fight no bloody wars to defend its sovereignty. This Kingdom would have no oppressive taxation, for its King was supported by the power of God alone, not by any human resources. It would have no foreign policy, no immigration restrictions, for all foreigners could instantly become citizens of this Kingdom through faith and baptism, without change of place or earthly nationality. In Christ, God was transforming the very nature of kingship and power, of salvation and defeat, of peace and war. Everything was redefined and transfigured. In Him, 鈥渙ld things have passed away; behold, all things have become new鈥� (2 Cor. 5:17). In this Kingdom, God made all things new (see Rev. 21:5), for it was only through this transformation that His salvation could extend to all the world, and all men could find their way home.”
