Footnote: Theological Nuance

Why do the kinfolk

need to believe that God is

ferocious?  Look---God's

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I suggest that the Parable of the Two Debtors, and of The Prodigal Son indicate that God does not collect, from Jesus' death, a debt or a penalty owed by us.  Jesus, as the principle of Life, entered death to vivify it with His presence; not even Death could remain dead with Jesus in it.
