I appreciate your thoughtful questions and see the threads you are weaving together. There is a persistent question for me however which centers around God's blood sacrifice and God's incarnation. Are we saved because God became human and thus shares our human struggle or are we saved because Jesus life was ransomed for us? Which one moves you past a legalistic motivation to a place of I can do something? Some might argue that the drone attacks themselves are a kind of redemptive action in that for a few lives lost many more are saved. I look forward to your next installment and your ideas on these challenging theological issues.
