Re: Salvation by faith and works : intellectually ridiculous?
God is in a position to measure everything up and to draw such a line. This raises the spectre of the person who just scrapes into heaven and the person who misses it by a gnats whisker obtaining those positions even though on Gods paper they are nigh on neck in neck.
Not that I care either way, but since when did you get to tell God what was fair?
If God wants to send this person to heaven and that person to hell for some gnat's whisker of a difference, surely it's up to him? Do you think he's going to be bound by some man-made contract?

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible
