(<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%205:17&version=NIV/" rel="nofollow">2 Cor. 5:17</a>) and the future is the completion of that: <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+21:5&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">"Behold, I am making all things new!"</a> <br /><br />I also think "Reconciliation" is probably an even better term than "Redemption" in that it reflects <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%201:19-20&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">Colossians 1:19-20</a> - that the blood of Christ on the cross is the event through which God is reconciling all things to himself.<br /><br />So, maybe "Creation / De-Creation / New Creation / Completion" OR "Creation / Alienation / Reconciliation / Consummation".<br /><br />What do you think?Bob Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486989092959410055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110103.post-16967456361671388372011-11-11T15:46:46.441-05:002011-11-11T15:46:46.441-05:00I was taught the first three stages of this story....I was taught the first three stages of this story. When I learned about the fourth, a friend of mine in CCO corrected me when I referred to it as "Restoration."<br /><br />He said, "It's not restoration. We aren't going back to the Garden of Eden. It is something better that is coming. It is Consummation." <br /><br />We were probably arguing semantics, but I've never forgotten the conversation.Marcus Goodyearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255781957722144278noreply@blogger.com
