1. On Love and Omnipotence. {from PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION} “He {A.C. Turner in “Faith, Prayer, and the World Order”} was trying to envisage a mature conception of omnipotence and saw it best in the power of love, “Love,” he wrote, “is omnipotent because it can always in any circustance give a perfect expression of itself. The activity of love is self- giving; it can afford to give itself away, and no reception which it may meet can be either a limitation or defeat. If divine love is the author of all, existence, it follows that nothing can exist wherein love cannot find expression.” NOTE: Please see "Self-Love" and "The Christian View of Life and Living". |
