BREAKFAST LINKS 12/24/12:

Johnnie Moore, Patheos/Philosophical Fragments: ?We must let what we know about God compensate for what we don?t understand about Him. While we think we need answers, what we actually need is God Himself.?

Ben Witherington, Patheos/The Bible and Culture: ?It means, I take it, that while Jesus had a God button, and he could have pushed it when he got in a difficult situation, he refused to do so because it would have meant the end of his living a truly human life with all its inherent limitations.?
