GOD IS ABLE
GOD IS ABLE TO REDEEM
Back in my pagan, pre-Christian days of the 1980's, a prominent Kansas City pastor whose late parishioner's estate I was handling reminded me that I had once told him to his face that I did not believe in Jesus Christ. I did not deny that.
But I declared that unlike the current "Apostle Paul", who had presided at the stoning of Stephen, I had not done such; nor pursued Jesus' disciples unto Damascus for the purpose of killing them. Yet, the same Paul, née "Saul" was now a part of authorized Christian canon.
He smiled, demurred and assented. The Lord is able to redeem, to save all who seek, regardless of history!
