Lance, What do you mean by "vicarious". Do you mean that everyone goes to heaven? I don't understand your question. Izzy

I believe that Jesus' Humanity is vicarious. In the 'second Adam' all of humanity, from the first to the last, are included. Any exclusion is not of God's doing. Isn't it interesting how 'invested' we are in the particular way we come (through personal reading of Scripture, books, bible study groups, sermons etc.) to see & then to speak of God's Nature and Gospel. I believe it to be the case that some from among all of these 'ways of seeing' (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant & Independent}will inhabit the kingdom to come. Perhaps some of the 'nuances' matter more to us than to God. Let me hasten to add, however, SOME DO NOT. May I then ask of you (and anyone who chooses the join in) what falls into the latter category for yourself?
