Antinomy I

Can we learn to live with the knowledge of antinomies? I don't know forsure but I think I am starting to learn how. We want everything so neat and tidy that its unnatural to not undercut one side or the other.

I have not been very explanative of this concept or even the word antinomy yet so let me define it. 'Antinomy is an appearance of contradiction between conclusions which seem equally logical, reasonable or necessary.'*

On the ride to Texas this morning I started reading a book called Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God by J. I. Packer. It so far has been about the difficulties in balancing the duties of man and the sovereignty of God. Each is in itself undeniably true (assuming you believe in the Bible is holy Scripture). So far it has been a hard but good read. I look forward to finishing it tomorrow on the ride back home... or tonight if I can't wait.

But right now I'm tired because of great conversations that took place at a Denny's last night with Emily. Totally worth it but I'm running on 3 hours of sleep right now :)
I will continue this train of thoughts on what I read from the book as part of this series.
