Re: I wonder? "To die for our sins" is the first thing that comes to mind for me. I've never bought into the Scotist argument that says we can know that the Incarnation would have happened even without sin. __________________ But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." I will rather boast most gladly of my weakness, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
