Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

I'll say this (on topic)... Could it be that the Prodical Son returned to hs fathers house simply because he had nowhere else to go. I mean he was in a hog pen, you know. Thats about as low as it gets. There was no where else to go. His friends had abandoned him. The 'riotous living" is what brought him to the point that he either "pretended to" or "thought about" eating the hogs slop. How could he have sunk so low? Where else could he turn but to a father that loved without condition. Without condition. Now theres a thought. So, if the son did rebel against rules, the father loved him anyway. If, in fact, the son just wanted to experience life beyond the fathers house, the father's unconditional love reached out for him and accepted him back. He didn't have to "earn" his fathers love... it was his unconditionally.

Notice that the father didn't accept him back on the condition that he abide the rules. He loved him, and accepted him, without condition, just as God loves and accepts us.
