We are in the business of selling jelly donuts. The best way to sabotage sales of jelly donuts is to leave the jelly out. A jelly doughnut is not a jelly doughnut without the jelly. It is something else - a croissant perhaps. What is the jelly of Christianity? The jelly of Christianity is God's love for us. His power made paradise. His love for us, however, makes paradise sweet. Power demands respect. But love demands love. The sweetness of paradise is the honey that lures the bees back home to the hive. Rational creatures seek the sweetness of paradise and flee the sourness of godlessness. It is contrary to our self-interest to do otherwise. It is crazy to do otherwise. Therefore, when you are in the business of selling jelly donuts, make sure that you do not leave the jelly out.
God delivers to us the gift of our creation and the gift of paradise. Both gifts were delivered to Adam and Eve simultaneously. God inserted a delay between the delivery of the gift of creation and the gift of paradise with regard to the children of Adam and Eve. Why?
