I have pondered this point many, many times. I liken Satan's blunder in Eden to the sacrifice a chess player may make of a pawn

SC, how interesting for you to use the chess analogy to explain God's wisdom in a mystery, I Cor 2.8, "for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

Ohio,

Thanks for the verse. It certainly fits my little chess analogy.

One thing I value in a forum discussion like this is the many heads at work. We all have bits and pieces of the puzzle in our heads. We all have particular verses and interpretations that can contribute to the whole. I for one no longer have much drive to spend my hours studying the Bible in isolation. I'm not necessarily proud of that fact, but it is so.

So when a brother or sister brings me a verse that clarifies, supports, illuminates, or even undermines a pet theory -- a verse I may have neglected or forgotten -- I am thrilled.

Short posts, lotsa dialogue, verse nuggets ... this is what I enjoy most.

Then perhaps Twitter is for you, www.twitter.com, the latest in social networking.

Twitter allows you to create a sort of micro-blog with posts no longer than 140 characters, which are broadcast to anyone who cares. Verbosity is verbotten; brevity is enforced.

From Wikipedia: Westwinds Church in Jackson, Michigan uses Twitter as a part of its weekend worship services and introduced the concept of Twitter Church. Westwinds runs training classes for Twitter and encourages members to bring laptops and mobile devices to church. On occasion, the Twitter feed will be live on the screens in the auditorium and everyone is encouraged to give their input, make observations, and ask questions in an interactive worship format.

Join twitter and broadcast your tweets to other twits. Really.
