One of my earliest religious memories was a comment a neighborhood kid made to me in which he said AE screwed it up for us by taking the forbidden fruit. He explained that had they not transgressed, we would all live forever without experiencing death. Even though the kid was less than religious later on in life, his comment always struck me as being intriguing, and now you folks have sparked that fire again. I must be missing something about your (forgive mebut let me say, Protestant) belief about the fall. If AE had not transgressed, do you think none of their descendants would have transgressed? In my experience, the best way to get a kid to do something, is to forbid him from doing it! Don't you think that at some point---probably much sooner than later---one of AE's children would have fallen? Or do you believe that of the billions who descended from AE, none would ever have transgressed? Just what are the chances of that happening.zilch?!?!?! Sowhy do most Christians blame AE for the misery in the world, when it was inevitable. From my perspectivenot only was it expected, but it was planned. And...evidently you believe that as well, since you believe Jesus was foreordained to be our Savior from before the world was created.that it was planned? (Please let me know if you do not believe such.) Yet you apparently don't believe that God wanted it to happen that way. Do you see why your perspective perplexes me? It doesn't seem logical.

Lewis: A Biography, p. 234); he even went to a priest for regular confession (p. 198), and received the sacrament of extreme unction on 7/16/63 (p. 301). His contention that some pagans may "belong to Christ without knowing it" is a destructive heresy (Mere Christianity, pp. 176-177), as was his statement that "Christ fulfils both Paganism and Judaism ..." (Reflections on the Psalms, p. 129). Lewis believed that we're to become "gods," an apparent affirmation of theistic evolution. He also believed the Book of Job is "unhistorical" (Reflections on the Psalms, pp. 110), and that the Bible contained "error" (pp. 110, 112) and is not divinely inspired (The Inklings, p. 175). Lewis used profanities, told bawdy stories, and frequently got drunk with his students (5/19/90, World magazine). Christians need to read more critically The Abolition of Man, The Problem of Pain, Miracles, The Great Divorce, and God in the Dock. For example, Lewis never believed in a literal hell, but instead believed hell is a state of mind one chooses to possess and become -- he wrote, "... every shutting-up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind is, in the end, Hell" (The Great Divorce, p. 65)....Q: Speaking just as a layman, it seems to me that the "theology" you get out of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, THE GREAT DIVORCE, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is Orthodox.

WOW you know a lot about that stuff are you an OCCULTIST?What was with the sacrifice of a Black sheep?The Author is D M Quinn He is a commited Mormon. He is a Professor at BYU from the publisher:In this ground-breaking book, D. Michael Quinn masterfully reconstructs an earlier age, finding ample evidence for folk magic in nineteenth-century New England, as he does in Mormon founder Joseph Smith's upbringing. Quinn discovers that Smith's world was inhabited by supernatural creatures whose existence could be both symbolic and real. He explains that the Smith family's treasure digging was not unusual for the times and is vital to understanding how early Mormons interpreted developments in their history in ways that differ from modern perceptions. Quinn's impressive research provides a much-needed background for the environment that produced Mormonism. This thoroughly researched examination into occult traditions surrounding Smith, his family, and other founding Mormons cannot be understated. Among the practices no longer a part of Mormonism are the use of divining rods for revelation, astrology to determine the best times to conceive children and plant crops, the study of skull contours to understand personality traits, magic formula utilized to discover lost property, and the wearing of protective talismans. Ninety-four photographs and illustrations accompany the text. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 12/7/2005 5:14:05 A.M.

Yes, Joseph was born on December 23, and thatmeans the sun was inthe first decan of Capricorn. However, the ruling planet for Capricorn was never Jupiter--it is and always has been Saturn. Jupiter is the ruler of one sign of the zodiac only and that is Sagittarius. Upon checking other signs for Joseph Smith, I see the moon was in the sign Aquarius, also ruled by Saturn.

On September 21, 1823, for example, Smith prayed under the full moon on a Sunday night that was ruled by his own ruling planet, Jupiter. The hours of his prayer and vision were ruled by planets and the moon, making the time particularly propitious for the summoning of and communing with a good spirit. (Smith also owned a talisman which had the magic seal of Jupiter and the Latin words "Confirmo O Deus potentissimus" on one side, and the astrological symbol for Jupiter, Jupiter's magic number (136), and a magic table in Hebrew lettering that added up to 136 on the other side.)

Do you think Cain, Hitler or any of the other villains of history would have remained angels? I submit to you that there would proportionally be very few who would not have transgressed. Consider another example. Adults have preached to kids ad nauseam to avoid smoking, alcohol, sex and drugs. Just denying them such, entices many it seems.

Even though the kid was less than religious later on in life, his comment always struck me as being intriguing, and now you folks have sparked that fire again. I must be missing something about your (forgive mebut let me say, Protestant) belief about the fall. If AE had not transgressed, do you think none of their descendants would have transgressed? In my experience, the best way to get a kid to do something, is to forbid him from doing it! Don't you think that at some point---probably much sooner than later---one of AE's children would have fallen? Or do you believe that of the billions who descended from AE, none would ever have transgressed? Just what are the chances of that happening.zilch?!?!?! Sowhy do most Christians blame AE for the misery in the world, when it was inevitable. From my perspectivenot only was it expected, but it was planned. And...evidently you believe that as well, since you believe Jesus was foreordained to be our Savior from before the world was created.that it was planned?

Re: [TruthTalk] New Subject--AE
I truly wish you could see this ,Dave, because it is important to our understanding. The tree was there for a reason. God could have programmed every creature to behave exactly as He wanted them to, but He did not. He even gave angels a choice. He wants us to come to Him out of love, just as He comes to us out of love. To do that, we must make a choice. We CHOOSE to love Him. We show that love by living to please Him. We show our SELFishness by doing what we want to do. We do not need to disobey to be stronger. We need to obey, for our own good. You do not keep your wife in a bubble, but you also do not tell your wife to go out and play around with drugs or catch aids so that she can be more resistant to these things. ( I use your wife here because I do not know if you have children or other family. ) Dave Hansen wrote: God's desire was for them to remain pure and innocent, just as would be the desire of any father for his children. DAVEH: I probably shouldn't intrude on Blaine's discussion with you, Terry. But, it seems to me that God could easily have kept AE pure and innocent, had he wanted to do so. For instance, he could either have kept Satan out of the Garden of Eden, or he could have not placed the tree of knowledge of good and evil there. Orhe could simply have not commanded them not to partake. But he didn't do any of those things. IMO, God wanted AE to transgress for a reason. FWIW.While it may be noble to want to keep one's children pure and innocent, a loving parent who overly protects their children will end up with kids acutely susceptible to the ills of the world. I see it similar to communicable illnesses. You could raise your kid in a bubble and he would live a germ/virus free life. But once he enters the real world, he would be extremely vulnerable to catching a slew of nasty bugs. Isn't it much better to allow your kid be exposed to such hazards so that he can become inoculated against the ravages in the strength of his youth than allow such illnesses to eventually attack later in life when one is perhaps more vulnerable? I see that somewhat as an analogy to the tree knowledge of good and evil. I hope that makes a little sense, Terry. (Though I'm sure some TTers will take exception.) FTRI don't think that is the sole reason for the tree though. It is obvious that God did not expect his creations to remain pure and innocent, and he knew that they would not remain so in the situation he placed them. But it was necessary for them to go through that process for a specific reason, as I don't believe God was just wishfully hoping they would remain pure and innocent. I do appreciate you sharing your belief about it though, Terry. Terry Clifton wrote: God's desire was for them to remain pure and innocent, just as would be the desire of any father for his children.

RE: [TruthTalk] Why is it that those people who profess participation, by adoption through Christ in God's family...
Judy, how about considering the fact that CSL was MUCH OLDER than you when he got saved, and maybe just hadnt had all the years and/or Bible Study Fellowship experiences that you have. You have grown over the years, according to your words below. Im sure CSL did also. No one has it all together immediately. Cut people some slack; especially those who spend their lives writing and speaking Christian apologetics to the best of their understanding. I think his personal choices were exemplary. And since when is making a lot of money writing a sin? Now who else can we slice and dice on TT? iz I read Linda's observations and there was a time when I may have agreed with her - However, I now believe that a heart truly surrendered to Christ would have layed aside the classical education and mythology rather than try to mix it like oil and water. Paul had a pretty good education himself and he counted it as dung compared to the knowledge of Christ. For the record I don't believe CSL actually knew the Lord though he may have been up on doctrinal orthodoxy and he made a lot of money with his writing. His personal choices tell the rest of the story.

His contention that some pagans may "belong to Christ without knowing it" is a destructive heresy (Mere Christianity, pp. 176-177), as was his statement that "Christ fulfils both Paganism and Judaism ..."

Lewis used profanities, told bawdy stories, and frequently got drunk with his students (5/19/90, World magazine).

IMHO, it is safe to speculate that some (if not most) of AE's descendants would have transgressed. Look at AEit didn't take them too long to transgress. Do you think Cain, Hitler or any of the other villains of history would have remained angels? I submit to you that there would proportionally be very few who would not have transgressed. Consider another example. Adults have preached to kids ad nauseam to avoid smoking, alcohol, sex and drugs. Just denying them such, entices many it seems. Sowould you reasonably expect any but a few of AE's descendants to withstand the temptations that Eve failed to avoid? Here's something to ponder: What effect would monkeys, horses or whatever animals inhabiting the Garden of Eden eating the forbidden fruit have had IFF AE hadn't? Terry Clifton wrote: This seems so obvious that it should be hard to miss, but if you have been taught otherwise all your life, I suspect it would be hard to accept.

DAVEH: Thank you two for your comments, both of which focus in one facet of the AE situation of which I am most keen. One of my earliest religious memories was a comment a neighborhood kid made to me in which he said AE screwed it up for us by taking the forbidden fruit. He explained that had they not transgressed, we would all live forever without experiencing death. Even though the kid was less than religious later on in life, his comment always struck me as being intriguing, and now you folks have sparked that fire again. I must be missing something about your (forgive mebut let me say, Protestant) belief about the fall. If AE had not transgressed, do you think none of their descendants would have transgressed? In my experience, the best way to get a kid to do something, is to forbid him from doing it! Don't you think that at some point---probably much sooner than later---one of AE's children would have fallen? Or do you believe that of the billions who descended from AE, none would ever have transgressed? Just what are the chances of that happening.zilch?!?!?! Sowhy do most Christians blame AE for the misery in the world, when it was inevitable. From my perspectivenot only was it expected, but it was planned. And...evidently you believe that as well, since you believe Jesus was foreordained to be our Savior from before the world was created.that it was planned? (Please let me know if you do not believe such.) Yet you apparently don't believe that God wanted it to happen that way. Do you see why your perspective perplexes me? It doesn't seem logical.

His contention that some pagans may "belong to Christ without knowing it" is a destructive heresy (Mere Christianity, pp. 176-177), as was his statement that "Christ fulfils both Paganism and Judaism " (Reflections on the Psalms, p. 129). Lewis believed that we're to become "gods," an apparent affirmation of theistic evolution. He also believed the Book of Job is "unhistorical" (Reflections on the Psalms, pp. 110), and that the Bible contained "error" (pp. 110, 112) and is not divinely inspired (The Inklings, p. 175).

The presence of kids who were Homeschooled in the 1980s and '90s is beginning to be felt more and more in our cultural life. Dr. Brien Ray did a fascinating study on homeschoolers and found that 73% of homeschoolers 18-24 vote compared to 29% of all people their age. The voting percentage goes up to 95% for people above age 25 and they're three times more likely than their fellow citizens to give political contributions. 74% of homeschoolers have taken college courses, compared to only 46% of the general population. Ironically, homeschoolers who were predicted to be social misfits, are more active and involved in their community's politics than the general population.Parents who chose to make extraordinary sacrifices to ensure their children aren't led astray by the dominant culture are getting extraordinary results as 94% of homeschoolers are holding to their parents religious beliefs.The Homeschooled kids of the '90s will be the leaders of the next century because of hard work, sacrifice, and loving families. I was homeschooled, but am hardly the best or brightest of the bunch. I never thought about it much as a kid, but having been around both homeschooled and public school kids as an adult, I'm struck by the general courtesy, kindness, and advance vocabulary of homeschooled kids. They're a shining beacon of hope in this present darkness, and a reminder of God's abiding faithfulness. And the nay sayers said "O NO how are they going to learn to Socialize?" Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DaveH writes: FWIW.While it may be noble to want to keep one's children pure and innocent, a loving parent who overly protects their children will end up with kids acutely susceptible to the ills of the world. Not necessarily; being over protective through fear is one thing. Teaching children spiritual discernment in the fear of God is another because then the parent has His power and watchful eye on their side.I see it similar to communicable illnesses. You could raise your kid in a bubble and he would live a germ/virus free life. But once he enters the real world, he would be extremely vulnerable to catching a slew of nasty bugs. Isn't it much better to allow your kid be exposed to such hazards so that he can become inoculated against the ravages in the strength of his youth than allow such illnesses to eventually attack later in life when one is perhaps more vulnerable?This is what the wisdom of the world teaches. But we are fearfully and wonderfully made and God has given us an immune system which should be able to throw off anything that comes our way when not compromised by sin.I see that somewhat as an analogy to the tree knowledge of good and evil. I hope that makes a little sense, Terry. (Though I'm sure some TTers will take exception.) FTRI don't think that is the sole reason for the tree though.Thetrees in the garden DaveH are the two kinds of wisdom. The tree of life is "pure, peaceable, and full of good fruit" and this is the tree God wanted His creation to eat from. The other tree - the one the serpent was promoting - is earthly, sensual, and demonic. So take your pick.

Michael Quinn masterfully reconstructs an earlier age, finding ample evidence for folk magic in nineteenth-century New England, as he does in Mormon founder Joseph Smith's upbringing. Quinn discovers that Smith's world was inhabited by supernatural creatures whose existence could be both symbolic and real. He explains that the Smith family's treasure digging was not unusual for the times and is vital to understanding how early Mormons interpreted developments in their history in ways that differ from modern perceptions. Quinn's impressive research provides a much-needed background for the environment that produced Mormonism. This thoroughly researched examination into occult traditions surrounding Smith, his family, and other founding Mormons cannot be understated. Among the practices no longer a part of Mormonism are the use of divining rods for revelation, astrology to determine the best times to conceive children and plant crops, the study of skull contours to understand personality traits, magic formula utilized to discover lost property, and the wearing of protective talismans.

The presence of kids who were Homeschooled in the 1980s and '90s is beginning to be felt more and more in our cultural life. Dr. Brien Ray did a fascinating study on homeschoolers and found that 73% of homeschoolers 18-24 vote compared to 29% of all people their age. The voting percentage goes up to 95% for people above age 25 and they're three times more likely than their fellow citizens to give political contributions. 74% of homeschoolers have taken college courses, compared to only 46% of the general population. Ironically, homeschoolers who were predicted to be social misfits, are more active and involved in their community's politics than the general population.Parents who chose to make extraordinary sacrifices to ensure their children aren't led astray by the dominant culture are getting extraordinary results as 94% of homeschoolers are holding to their parents religious beliefs.The Homeschooled kids of the '90s will be the leaders of the next century because of hard work, sacrifice, and loving families. I was homeschooled, but am hardly the best or brightest of the bunch. I never thought about it much as a kid, but having been around both homeschooled and public school kids as an adult, I'm struck by the general courtesy, kindness, and advance vocabulary of homeschooled kids. They're a shining beacon of hope in this present darkness, and a reminder of God's abiding faithfulness. And the nay sayers said "O NO how are they going to learn to Socialize?"

Not necessarily; being over protective through fear is one thing. Teaching children spiritual discernment in the fear of God is another because then the parent has His power and watchful eye on their side. I see it similar to communicable illnesses. You could raise your kid in a bubble and he would live a germ/virus free life. But once he enters the real world, he would be extremely vulnerable to catching a slew of nasty bugs. Isn't it much better to allow your kid be exposed to such hazards so that he can become inoculated against the ravages in the strength of his youth than allow such illnesses to eventually attack later in life when one is perhaps more vulnerable? This is what the wisdom of the world teaches. But we are fearfully and wonderfully made and God has given us an immune system which should be able to throw off anything that comes our way when not compromised by sin. I see that somewhat as an analogy to the tree knowledge of good and evil. I hope that makes a little sense, Terry. (Though I'm sure some TTers will take exception.) FTRI don't think that is the sole reason for the tree though. Thetrees in the garden DaveH are the two kinds of wisdom. The tree of life is "pure, peaceable, and full of good fruit" and this is the tree God wanted His creation to eat from. The other tree - the one the serpent was promoting - is earthly, sensual, and demonic. So take your pick.

Re: [TruthTalk] The Triune God, Holy Scripture Interpretation - Why diverse...
Blainerb: These are great questions, Lance, I don't usually bother, but I even took time to look up some of your words in my dictionary to be sure I understood them. :) See my comments in blue below: In a message dated 12/7/2005 5:16:02 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Are we promised any more than 'enough' understanding to facilitate salvation? I think you may not expect more than you are willing to receive, Lance. Joseph Smith was not allowed to open the sealed portion of the golden plates, due to the pride and unbelief that was projected among the Gentile population. Even the parts he did translate are usually rejected by those who pretend to beteachers of the gospel. Does 'study' matter when it comes to Scripture? What's entailed in this 'study'? Study is productive, assuming the Holy Spirit is taken as one's guide. Without it, studyresults in "ever learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth." What is the role of the Holy Spirit inapprehending the 'gospel', the act of exegesis, the act of exposition (either spoken or written), office/sign gifts? I'd say it is critical. See the parable of the Ten Virgins. Those who took the Holy Spirit for their guides were prepared to enter into the covenant relationship as the "Bride" to the Bridegroom. Those who were not prepared by the Spirit were not spiritually prepared for the marriage. Is there even the possibility of the entire believing community, globally, coming to a unitary understanding of the entire corpus of Scripture? Ideally, there is no reason why not. But practically speaking, I see little or no hope. Human pride is the reason it will never happen. Every man does his own thing, becomes egoistically married to his position, and that leads to strife, wherein the devil may then play his games amongst us. Do even the most mature (godly/holy/sanctified) believers possess only a partial/limited understanding of the Holy Scriptures? Ifwe put our foot downagainstnew truth when it is introduced, we can hardly claim to be Godly/Holy/Sanctified, despite your most carefully constructed facade of being otherwise.We can, of course, always resort to being sanctimonious, as did the Jews who prayed in public to be heard of men, etc. :) Do all believers err, at some points, in their understanding and therefore, teaching of the Holy Scriptures? Does this necessarily represent sin? When as a believer something of your teaching is errant relative to ontological truth and, you discover this to be so then, what steps ought you to take to rectify the matter vis a vis those who received this teaching? I am not sure I understand what you are getting at, but I refer you to 76th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, verses 5-10--I hope this might be something of an answer for you: 5"For thus saith the Lord--I the Lord am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end. 6 "Great shall be their reward, and eternal shall be their glory. 7 "And to them will I reveal all mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom. 8 "Yea, and even the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations. 9 "And their wisdom shall be great, and their understanding reach to heaven, and before them the wisdom of the wise shall perish, and the understanding of the prudent shall come to naught. 10 "For by my spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will--yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man." Just musing..

Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Are we promised any more than 'enough' understanding to facilitate salvation? I think you may not expect more than you are willing to receive, Lance. Joseph Smith was not allowed to open the sealed portion of the golden plates, due to the pride and unbelief that was projected among the Gentile population. Even the parts he did translate are usually rejected by those who pretend to beteachers of the gospel. Does 'study' matter when it comes to Scripture? What's entailed in this 'study'? Study is productive, assuming the Holy Spirit is taken as one's guide. Without it, studyresults in "ever learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth." What is the role of the Holy Spirit inapprehending the 'gospel', the act of exegesis, the act of exposition (either spoken or written), office/sign gifts? I'd say it is critical. See the parable of the Ten Virgins. Those who took the Holy Spirit for their guides were prepared to enter into the covenant relationship as the "Bride" to the Bridegroom. Those who were not prepared by the Spirit were not spiritually prepared for the marriage. Is there even the possibility of the entire believing community, globally, coming to a unitary understanding of the entire corpus of Scripture? Ideally, there is no reason why not. But practically speaking, I see little or no hope. Human pride is the reason it will never happen. Every man does his own thing, becomes egoistically married to his position, and that leads to strife, wherein the devil may then play his games amongst us. Do even the most mature (godly/holy/sanctified) believers possess only a partial/limited understanding of the Holy Scriptures? Ifwe put our foot downagainstnew truth when it is introduced, we can hardly claim to be Godly/Holy/Sanctified, despite your most carefully constructed facade of being otherwise.We can, of course, always resort to being sanctimonious, as did the Jews who prayed in public to be heard of men, etc. :) Do all believers err, at some points, in their understanding and therefore, teaching of the Holy Scriptures? Does this necessarily represent sin? When as a believer something of your teaching is errant relative to ontological truth and, you discover this to be so then, what steps ought you to take to rectify the matter vis a vis those who received this teaching? I am not sure I understand what you are getting at, but I refer you to 76th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, verses 5-10--I hope this might be something of an answer for you: 5"For thus saith the Lord--I the Lord am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end. 6 "Great shall be their reward, and eternal shall be their glory. 7 "And to them will I reveal all mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom. 8 "Yea, and even the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations. 9 "And their wisdom shall be great, and their understanding reach to heaven, and before them the wisdom of the wise shall perish, and the understanding of the prudent shall come to naught. 10 "For by my spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will--yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man."

Re: [TruthTalk] New Subject--AE
Genesis 2:7 ...man became a living soul. This is only said of men. No where in the Bible will you find a reference to the soul of a horse or a monkey. Animals were not made to have eternal lives any more than trees or vines. They were created for man to use, to eat, to have dominion over. Terry === Dave Hansen wrote: monkeys and horses do not have a soul. DAVEH: ??? Aren't you speculating when you make that claim, Terry? What Biblical evidence supports that theory?

He planned a remedy for the fall. Big difference. DAVEH: I don't quite see the difference, Terry. However, I will admit to being biased by my belief that He did plan for them to fall. As to their descendants missing the mark, who knows? All we can do is speculate, and speculation often leads to error. DAVEH: I respectfully disagree on this one, Terry. IMHO, it is safe to speculate that some (if not most) of AE's descendants would have transgressed. Look at AEit didn't take them too long to transgress. Do you think Cain, Hitler or any of the other villains of history would have remained angels? I submit to you that there would proportionally be very few who would not have transgressed. Consider another example. Adults have preached to kids ad nauseam to avoid smoking, alcohol, sex and drugs. Just denying them such, entices many it seems. Sowould you reasonably expect any but a few of AE's descendants to withstand the temptations that Eve failed to avoid? Here's something to ponder: What effect would monkeys, horses or whatever animals inhabiting the Garden of Eden eating the forbidden fruit have had IFF AE hadn't? Terry Clifton wrote: This seems so obvious that it should be hard to miss, but if you have been taught otherwise all your life, I suspect it would be hard to accept.

DAVEH: Thank you two for your comments, both of which focus in one facet of the AE situation of which I am most keen. One of my earliest religious memories was a comment a neighborhood kid made to me in which he said AE screwed it up for us by taking the forbidden fruit. He explained that had they not transgressed, we would all live forever without experiencing death. Even though the kid was less than religious later on in life, his comment always struck me as being intriguing, and now you folks have sparked that fire again. I must be missing something about your (forgive mebut let me say, Protestant) belief about the fall. If AE had not transgressed, do you think none of their descendants would have transgressed? In my experience, the best way to get a kid to do something, is to forbid him from doing it! Don't you think that at some point---probably much sooner than later---one of AE's children would have fallen? Or do you believe that of the billions who descended from AE, none would ever have transgressed? Just what are the chances of that happening.zilch?!?!?! Sowhy do most Christians blame AE for the misery in the world, when it was inevitable. From my perspectivenot only was it expected, but it was planned. And...evidently you believe that as well, since you believe Jesus was foreordained to be our Savior from before the world was created.that it was planned? (Please let me know if you do not believe such.) Yet you apparently don't believe that God wanted it to happen that way. Do you see why your perspective perplexes me? It doesn't seem logical.

Parents who chose to make extraordinary sacrifices to ensure their children aren't led astray by the dominant culture are getting extraordinary results as 94% of homeschoolers are holding to their parents religious beliefs. The Homeschooled kids of the '90s will be the leaders of the next century because of hard work, sacrifice, and loving families. I was homeschooled, but am hardly the best or brightest of the bunch. I never thought about it much as a kid, but having been around both homeschooled and public school kids as an adult, I'm struck by the general courtesy, kindness, and advance vocabulary of homeschooled kids. They're a shining beacon of hope in this present darkness, and a reminder of God's abiding faithfulness. And the nay sayers said O NO how are they going to learn to Socialize?

Not necessarily; being over protective through fear is one thing. Teaching children spiritual discernment in the fear of God is another because then the parent has His power and watchful eye on their side. I see it similar to communicable illnesses. You could raise your kid in a bubble and he would live a germ/virus free life. But once he enters the real world, he would be extremely vulnerable to catching a slew of nasty bugs. Isn't it much better to allow your kid be exposed to such hazards so that he can become inoculated against the ravages in the strength of his youth than allow such illnesses to eventually attack later in life when one is perhaps more vulnerable? This is what the wisdom of the world teaches. But we are fearfully and wonderfully made and God has given us an immune system which should be able to throw off anything that comes our way when not compromised by sin. I see that somewhat as an analogy to the tree knowledge of good and evil. I hope that makes a little sense, Terry. (Though I'm sure some TTers will take exception.) FTRI don't think that is the sole reason for the tree though. Thetrees in the garden DaveH are the two kinds of wisdom. The tree of life is pure, peaceable, and full of good fruit and this is the tree God
RE: [TruthTalk] A tribute to Perusal knowledge
PS I forgot to bragerr, I mean mention, that my 7 year old granddaughter has been playing the piano for the past year. Son Todd taught himself to play after graduating from the Academy, and he is teaching her to play. But they can play the daylights out of any instrument! And, boy, can the 3 year old belt out Ive Got Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in My Heart with drama! iz From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 3:01 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] A tribute to Perusal knowledge Why are you forcing the obvious pretense of merriment upon the rest of uswho are eqully members of this DISCUSSION group.
