back to the heart...

Jesus Christ, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross!  Therefore God exalted him to the highest place ad gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Phil 2:6-11

that is really all that matters.  we can debate and discuss the rest all we want, but this the what is central, what really counts.  If you don't agree with this, than none of the rest of the discussion is relevant, because this, this most important, central part, is not in sync.  I feel like I am seeing this with a fresh heart, and it stings a little that I have gotten so wrapped up in my self and my junk that I could have ever lost sight of it, even for a moment.  Because before every other compatibility, this is what matters.
