Name: Stuffed Quince (Dolmeh-E Beh)
Ingredients: 4 lg Quinces similar in size; 1/4 c Yellow split peas or green peas; 1 Onion; finely chopped; 1/2 lb Ground meat (lamb or beef); 2 tb Oil; 1 ts Tomato paste; 1/3 c Vinegar or lemon juice; 2 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Pepper; 1 ts Cinnamon; 1/4 c Sugar; 1 tb Butter; melted; 1/4 ts Saffron; dissolved in:; 1 tb Hot water

It is the grace of God that fallen men most detest. If lost men really thought that God is a harsh and cruel deity who deals severely with all who offend Him, they would cower in His presence, and they would do everything possible to avoid His wrath. Men do not fear God, however; they disdain Him. They interpret His grace as weakness and His delay of judgment as inability to achieve His purposes. Men who are sinners do not want to admit their own guilt and thus do not want to petition God for grace. They will have heaven on their own terms or not at all. Thus lost men will go to hell because they hate grace and will have none of it.
