Not sure if you all remember me - I posted almost everday for about 2 months back in Dec-Jan last year. Well, I'm not dead (or raptured - unfortunately). Is crashfrog still around? How about my arch-nemesis :ae: ... Anyway, just thought I'd stop by and see if you guys solved all lifes riddles yet. For me- still into Reformed Theology - but live in Colorado now.
Later...

"The moral rectitude of God must consist in a due respect to things that are objects of moral respect; that is, to intelligent beings capable of moral actions and relations. And therefore it must chiefly constist in giving due respect to that Being to whom most is due; for God is infinitely the most worthy of regard. The worthiness of others is as nothing to his; so that to him belongs all possible respect. To him belongs the whole of the respect that any intelligent being is capable of. To him belongs ALL the heart. Therefore, if moral rectitude of heart consists in paying the respect of the heart which is due, or which fitness and suitableness requires, fitness requirees infinitly the greatest regard to be paid to God; and the denying of supreme regard here would be a conduct infinitely the most unfit. Hence it will follow, that moral rectitude of the disposition, inclination, or affection of God CHEIEFLY consists in a regatd to HIMSELF, infinitely above his regard to all other beings; in other words, his holiness consists in this" J. Edwards
™ Version 4.2
