God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Mercy can never be earned. Its very necessity is evoked by unworthiness, else there would be no need for it. Because we have sinned, we need mercy, not because we have obeyed. The only qualification for mercy is affliction.
The problem here is the obvious lack of understanding of the infinite nature of sin as contrasted to the infinite righteousness of God. If the slightest sin is infinite in its significance, then it also demands infinite punishment as a divine judgment. Though it is common for all Christians to wish that there were some way out of the doctrine of eternal punishment because of its inexorable and unyielding revelation of divine judgment, one must rely in Christian faith on the doctrine that God is a God of infinite righteousness and well as infinite love. While on the one hand He bestows infinite grace to those who trust Him, He must, on the other hand, inflict eternal punishment on those who spurn His grace.
To roast the hazelnuts you should place them on a sheet pan and put them in
a 400°F oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the outside skin starts to break
away. Rub the hazelnuts together so that the outer dark skins flake off.
You do not want to toast them, you just want the skin to loosen up.
In a large skillet place the butter and heat it on medium high until it has
melted. Add the mushrooms and saut. them for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they
are brown. Add the 1/4 cup of sherry and deglaze the pan. Add the chicken
stock. Cook the ingredients on medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until
the liquid is reduced by 1/2.
In a small saucepan place the 3/4 cup of sherry. Cook it on medium high
heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is reduced by 3/4.
Add the reduced sherry, salt, and pepper to soup, and stir them in.
In each of 4 individual serving bowls place 3 of the Chicken-Hazelnut
Quenelles. Ladle the soup on top. Sprinkle on the hazelnuts.
