We have a whole lot of "filling" to do.
I couldn’t help but chuckle reading that. We sometimes forget the creation mandate came before the fall.
Sadly, this is the first article I have ever read that espouses the new heavens and earth you have beautifully described. I’ll be re-reading this one and perusing my Bible. :)
Ah, yes... so much gets "forgotten," I suspect because of some combination of strong indoctrination and just becoming too habituated to the "party line."
I have, perhaps unsurprisingly, gotten some "push back" on this. Actually, I am somewhat surprised that I haven't gotten more? Hey, one of the "blessings" of having so few readers, right?
Actually, after an average readership of less than fifty, this entry in the series has jumped to over 100... Do you suppose that might have something to do with the word "Sex" in the title? ;)
My friend Lydon, I very much look forward to hearing further observations, questions, and any other reactions after you've done some re-reading and perusing.... Thanks for commenting! ;)
