Re: It's Sad-istic to derive any pleasure at all from the pain of others
Dear Kenny Copeland, Hally Lindsey, evangelical groupies thereof,
It's not wise, at least not wisdom from above (James 3) with understanding (Prov 4), to get too hung up on the cross; not if "cursed every one that hangeth on a tree" and God given victory over law: sin & death is "through" Jesus => Christ: the end of the law, as if going through (in one side and out the other) a door, the I am (the door, among seven things mentioned about what "I am" is in John)... Daniel Miles (Godshew.org).

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
God never took any pleasure in sacrifice, which is "of the law": Ps 40:7; Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13; Heb 10.
Allegoric moral: His Grace is never pleased with law added to "my grace is sufficient for thee", for grace + law makes grace "no more grace", not to mention such oxymoronic grace + law was "all vanity and vexation of Spirit" according to Solomon.
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
