There are sins of commission, and sins of omission. Failing to care for another as yourself is a sin of omission.

Nature does not take it's course. God put you here and it should be God who decides when to take you out. He will take you when He is ready, tube or no tube. When you make that decision, you usurp His authority. You play God.

When you start considering how unfair it would be to spend your life caring for someone who will never be able to thank you or even acknowledge your presence, you are dwelling on self. Self is not what it is all about. When you do itfor the least of His, you do itforHim.

Think about those things.

Terry,

I am not talking about “snuffing” anyone. I’m talking about ceasing from medical intervention to keep them alive, and letting nature take its course. Quite the opposite of “snuffing out”.

Re: [TruthTalk] TruthTalkin' 'bout Torah walkin'

2003-09-20 Thread Slade Henson



First of all, halacha means "The 
Walk."

Secondly



I find it interesting that this is the first email that I have received 
from you since my departure. Your accusation that I owe you money for a long 
distance phone bill is atrocious. It is a lie, making you one of those liars you 
spoke of when you quoted Revelation 21. "Judge not..." is what Judy 
quoted to you. I know you understand the context of that verse; therefore, you 
should be worried. You are judging me for being a liar and a thief, but you 
area liar and the thief. You are pietistic, angry, and 
deceived.

For those interested, call MCI and ask 
them for the balance due on 870-248-0711. It was in Slade Henson's name at the 
address of 89 Homeplace Trail, Pocahontas, AR 72455. It was in place from the 
beginning of June to the beginning of July. It was a long distance plan for free 
long distance after 7 PM for $17.95 per month. For those who are truly curious 
and want to call, I give you permission to say you are "Slade Henson" in order 
to "make sure I paid the full balance."

I find your lack of compassion and your demand 
for sustenance amazing. Torah speaks of reimbursement as well. However, since 
you have been CUT OFF (financially and spiritually) from the congregation called 
Little Children of Jesus Christ and your commission as "pastor" 
terminated by the elders, you have been making demands on me. I am actually 
surprised to see it continue. You are incredibly greedy... or just worried, 
perhaps. After all, it can be frightening not to know if money will be coming in 
to pay your gasoline and your utilities.

I fear for your eternal considerations and I 
pray for your repentance. Be a harsh judge and a harsh demander and you will 
receive the same reward in the afterlife, wherever you end up. (Remember the 
"judge not" bit from Judy?)



Hypocrisy?
Perhaps you forgot about Matthew 18? Why 
didn't you come to me, or do you think it's OK because you did this under the 
guise of "anonymity" by not naming me?Many on the list know you and I were 
near for a while... therefore you did not do this under anonymity. This is 
hypocrisy, especially since you criticized Tim Winkley for not properly 
following Matthew 18.



Hypocrisy?
You have taught against eating anything 
Biblically unclean and criticize the Koshering labels... claiming that many 
labels allow pork-based Vitamin D-3. However, you hide behind the "box-KO" kosher label to 
consume decomposing crustaceans in your multivitamin. The "box-KO" label is one 
of the more LIBERAL labels. This is Hypocrisy.



Hypocrisy?
Chris is the foremost "authority" (that I know of, at least) on the concept 
that the 2nd Commandment denies us access to ALL images whatsoever. He refused 
to be interviewed by my wife and her friend Suzanne Shell for a documentary; 
however, he allowed himself and a friend of his to be interviewed for a 
Christian TV program. Have you taken a look at his email tagline \o/ !HALALUYah! 
\o/? Hands raised high -- even in praise -- is an image.


Hypocrisy?
You accused me of tale-bearing on 07/14/2003 
when you said, "Simply put, that is talebearing. 
You also bore false witness against this brother. Indeed, Slade is a liar, 
too." You also denied being a tale bearer when you said, "I deny because it is truthful to do so." 
However... let me give you a few quotes to prove your hypocrisy (and to boot, 
your gossip wasn't all that accurate)...

  Dated 01/27/2003: Kay was for all intents and purposes A WHORE ... 
  had one child out of wedlock ... married another man who was adrug 
  using, drug selling, womanizer and child molester. Remained faithful to 
  him through wife-beatings until he repeatedly cheated on her (including with a 
  child for which he was convicted). Divorced him and eventually met Slade 
  sometime thereafter.
  Slade was 
  for all intents and purposes A WHOREMONGER. He was one of the main 
  writers for TSR, producers of "Dungeons and Dragons". It is a great 
  regret of his to this day that some of his works are still out there and he 
  can't do anything about it.

  Dated 06/30/2003: Thanks for the 
  input. We'll see if YHVH brings it 
  forth ... we certainly can't do it of our own accord (I know, I know, that's a 
  Honda).
  By the way, do me a favor? DO NOT 
  mention it to the Hensons. They have owed us more than a hundred dollars 
  for months and are pitching a fit over it. If they think we may be 
  getting that Toyota they may just NEVER pay that back thinking (WRONGFULLY and 
  WICKEDLY) that we don't need it anyway.
  Well, today is the 30th. It'll be 
  interesting to see what comes forth this New Moon 
day!



Thief?
You bought bibles using Little Children of 
Jesus Christ (LCOJC) funds but kept the profits yourself (you told 
me this yourself.) You are a thief of the tithes of believers. That makes you a 
thief of God's own funds. Do you think He will forget? Perhaps this is why your 
funds are depleting, you are

Thank you for your response,
If I am suddenly silent it is because we are on a hurricane watch here.
some are without power already and Isabel is supposed to land at the
outer banks in a couple of hours.  They are expecting massive power
outages and flooding.

Maybe a good place to begin here is asking ourselves the question
what is the heart? Is it the soul (mind, will, emotions) or is it 
spirit?  
We know it is possible to have a deceived heart and an evil heart of
unbelief.  It is also possible to have a root of fear in our heart which
is different from normal fear of danger which would be in the soul.
Paul wrote to Timothy that the 'goal' of the instruction is love from 
a pure heart so if the heart/spirit is pure from the start of our walk
with God then why would this be the goal?  

Is it because we don't think like God, or love like He does.  Being 
conformed to the image of Christ does not happen overnight and  
spiritual discernment is a must if we are to resist evil and choose
the good - Having our senses exercised to discern between good
and evil is also a process.

Well the lights are blinking so won't push it here.

Until Later,
Judy

Just a thought. If the comatose person is unsaved and bound
for Hell, would you send him there, or would he be more 
comfortable in a coma? If there was less than one tenth of one
percent of a chance that he would ever regain consciousness
and be able to repent, would itbe worth waiting? Or have you
already taken all that into account in your previous responses?

Terry, Why is it that whenever we have differing opinions, that you decide that I am the one with no discernment? Could it ever be you? Just wondering…..J Izzy

Terry, It seems to me that the selfish thing to do is to cling to someone by interfering in postponing their death at their own expense. (In certain situations.) I’ve probably taken care of more ill people than you have, and I know what that means, and that is not the issue. Playing God can work both ways. I don’t think we should judge people who want to stop that game. Izzy

There are sins of commission, and sins of omission. Failing to care for another as yourself is a sin of omission.



Nature does not take it's course. God put you here and it should be God who decides when to take you out. He will take you when He is ready, tube or no tube. When you make that decision, you usurp His authority. You play God.



When you start considering how unfair it would be to spend your life caring for someone who will never be able to thank you or even acknowledge your presence, you are dwelling on self. Self is not what it is all about. When you do itfor the least of His, you do itforHim.



Think about those things.

Terry,

I am not talking about “snuffing” anyone. I’m talking about ceasing from medical intervention to keep them alive, and letting nature take its course. Quite the opposite of “snuffing out”.

Then I take it that your conscience would not bother you if you snuffed your hubby a day too early?

Terry, You can only make decisions upon the information you have available today. Can’t look back tomorrow. Besides that, new medical developments take years of RD, and nothing just pops up unexpectedly overnight. Izzy

Just something to muddy the thought process. What if you pull the plug on your patient today, and tomorrow they find the cure that was never available before? Could happen.

But you state that, “I also believe that her fate is in God's hands and he should not tamper with that.” By forcing medical treatment upon her, you could certainly say that people are “tampering”. 

You may be right. I am still thinking it through. I really haven't come to a conclusion. Laura

RE: [TruthTalk] Sanctification by the Spirit

2003-09-20 Thread jandgtaylor1

Hi IZ  all:
Our family all hung out at our place and waited Isabel out. We only lost two window 
screens (they blew off} but there is devastation all around us, broken poles, power 
lines on the ground and debris everywhere. I've never seen trees laying on their sides 
with their entire root systems exposed.  There is a 95% blackout and I don't know when 
we will have power back, we live out of town and are probably last on the list. I am 
using my daughter's computer to check mail, her power came on at 4 a.m. today, for us 
it could be 2 weeks or more and without power our pump will not work so we have no 
water.  Even Walmart is closed. The only store open was Lowe's building supply, they 
were selling generators for $700, they had 200 in the store and about 300 ppl in line 
for them. So right now we are trying to decide what perishables need to be thrown out 
and what to keep. There is a local curfew too, we are supposed to be home by 7 p.m.

I'm thankful and praising the Lord that it wasn't worse for us and now if we can just 
have patience. There is a hot line where ppl are helping ppl as much as they can which 
is good.

Please pray for us,
Grace and Peace,
Judy
