I caught it. That’s what happens over there. That’s why I am happier over here even though its slow. I guess we’re off topic now. Sorry.

My answer to the OP is Grace.

Mushroom and pineapple? For real? :eek: My prejudices are showing.

And what, in the final analysis, is the difference between grace and revelation?

It’s past my bedtime. They’ve come to turn off the computers in the monkey cage here in the lab. Good night.

Gross. :bigyikes: “Who put pineapple on my mushroom pizza?”

Okay, grace: When you wrote earlier about the “uncreated permitting the experience,” you are talking about God graciously condescending to allow us to experience Him, right? Well, I agree. But God is so gracious I think He allows us to experience Him to an extent (through natural revelation) even if we don’t necessarily acknowledge Him. So my answer to the OP would be, “Yes, certainly, it happens all the time,” but you would add the postscript, “but always by God’s grace, even when the grace is unrecognized.” Is that close?

Well, I don’t eat pork but I felt like having a hawaiian pizza, so I replaced the ham with mushrooms. Oh and hot sauce.

Grace is about goodness. Revelation is about truth.

Close enough for me. Here, have some pineapple.
 
No thanks.:eek:

Well, I’m with Truthstalker, time for bed.

(You know, that didn’t quite come out right, but you all know what I mean. 😛 Good night.)
