Title: God=both merciful and just:Can the law and love not coexist?
Product review: Although Bawer's prose is commendable, his content unfortunately, brings me back to the original question he was being asked - Are you a Christian?The basic precept of a Christian is that God is both just (He commands us to obey Him) and merciful (He loves us enough to make the provision by which we Can obey Him. Praise Jesus Christ our Lord).Bawer misses the concept that Christ did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. Hence, to divide Christians into the Church of Law and the Church of Love, is unfair and unknowing. True, individuals exhibit clear manifestations of black and white attitudes, as Bawer describes. But he also shows that he clearly is one of the individuals about which he writes, while a whole society of followers of Jesus Christ exist with the understanding that our God is both - 1)our Creator and law giver and 2)our provider and redeemer, forgiving and loving us as truly only God can.
