Re: [TruthTalk] Law and Spirit

2005-12-10 Thread Judy Taylor



Oophs, typo, I meant Romans 2:14,15. When we 
become partakers of the 'divine nature' by the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit we are enabled to do by nature what 
is required by God's Law. That is, when we choose
to walk after the Spirit rather than follow the lusts 
of the old flesh nature.

You speak as if the Holy Sprit 
indwelling and the "..law written on 
their hearts" are two different things. 
What exactly do you mean when you, Judy Taylor, speak of the law 
written on your heart? Memorization or what?

No JD, it's too much for the old 
unregenerated mind - the law is spiritual - When we are in Christ and 
indwelt by the Spirit of Christ we like 
the ppl in Romans 2:14,15 do by nature the thingsrequired by God's 
Law.

What ever it means, we do know that it cannot be the same 
experienceas those under theMosaical Law. Is it the Holy Spirit 's 
influence - but you make a difference between the 
two. If this "law" has to do with various and multiple 
commandments, how are they written on our hearts in a way different 
from the Old Law? I honestly have no idea how you might answer 
this question. I have no answer and that is 
why I reject (up to this point in time) the notion that the "law written on 
our hearts" is talking about law as opposed to the rule of the 
Spirit. jd

Careful JD, if you 
reject everything in scripture that you don't comprehend mentally then 
pretty soon you will have to throw out the whole Book.

In OT days they 
did not have the Holy Spirit indwelling 
them, nor did they have
God's Law written on their hearts. They lived 
in a theocracy and Moses had to 
gather the ppl,

them every
seven years. jt

  Why do we need scripture? 
  Yes the born again/spirit filled believer is 
  given the measure of faith - 
  Yes we now have God's Law written on our hearts 
  But let's look at our example, the Head of the 
  Church, the one we are to follow 
  During His earthly ministry Jesus walked in all 
  this too; in fact He walked in the fulness of the Spirit 
  When confronted by the adversary - What was His

  No wonder the professing church is so weak.

[TruthTalk] Happy holidays, seasons greetings, X-mas

2005-12-10 Thread Terry Clifton


We have been watching the news lately, plus getting some stuff by 
e-mail, and it seems that the world we once knew is no longer to be found. 
It is bad enough when all the big merchants, such as Wal Mart, Sears, 
Target and home depot stop advertising Christmas sales and start 
advertising Holiday sales.  When you walk in the stores you are 
greeted by salespeople with Happy Holidays or Seasons greetings.  
Target stores went so far as to run the Salvation army off it's 
property.  No buckets or bell ringers there anymore.
This sounds like where the preachers and banners proclaiming Christ 
should be, but then you must remember that the reason these stores are 
there is not to proclaim Christ, but to make money.  If they mentioned 
Christ mas, it would only be lip service.


Besides that, we need to get the beam out of our own eye before we try 
to remove the speck from their's.  It seems that since Christmas falls 
on Sunday this year, that many churches will not have services So that 
people can spend time with their families.  That, to me, is s 
stupid.  Why not take the family to church?  What am I missing here?
The words of Jesus keep running through my mind.  If you do not love me 
more than mother or father, sister or brother (Family), you cannot be Mine.


Do the rest of you get worked up or nauseous over this?  Is there 
something here I don't see?  Am I too critical?  Your thoughts?

Subject: [TruthTalk] Happy holidays, seasons greetings, X-mas




We have been watching the news lately, plus getting some stuff by e-mail,
and it seems that the world we once knew is no longer to be found. It is
bad enough when all the big merchants, such as Wal Mart, Sears, Target 
and


home depot stop advertising Christmas sales and start advertising 
Holiday



sales.  When you walk in the stores you are greeted by salespeople with
Happy Holidays or Seasons greetings.  Target stores went so far as to
run the Salvation army off it's property.  No buckets or bell ringers
there anymore.
This sounds like where the preachers and banners proclaiming Christ 
should



be, but then you must remember that the reason these stores are there is
not to proclaim Christ, but to make money.  If they mentioned Christ mas,
it would only be lip service.

Besides that, we need to get the beam out of our own eye before we try to
remove the speck from their's.  It seems that since Christmas falls on
Sunday this year, that many churches will not have services So that
people can spend time with their families.  That, to me, is s 
stupid.



Why not take the family to church?  What am I missing here?
The words of Jesus keep running through my mind.  If you do not love me
more than mother or father, sister or brother (Family), you cannot be
Mine.

Do the rest of you get worked up or nauseous over this?  Is there
something here I don't see?  Am I too critical?  Your thoughts?

You speak as if the Holy Sprit indwelling and the "..law written on their hearts" are two different things. 
What exactly do you mean when you, Judy Taylor, speak of the law written on your heart? Memorization or what?

No JD, it's too much for the old unregenerated mind - the law is spiritual - When we are in Christ and indwelt by the Spirit of Christ we like the ppl in Romans 1:14,15 do by nature the thingsrequired by God's Law.

You have not explained how your version of legal inwardness is different from that of the OT opportunity for same. Secondly,you misunderstand Romans , chapter 2 (you meant 2:14-,15 correct ?).The "Gentiles" in that passage are not regenerated anything. You only say that because your bias orders you to do so. 

Look at what you say !! The "Gentile" (according to you) is anyone and everyone who has the indwelling Holy Spirit. He is one who has received the new nature and , therefore, does by nature the things of the Law. 

So -- who is the Jew in this passage? He is obviously not like the rest of us. If the Gentile is the Holy Ghost inhabited disciple of God - who is this Jew guy? And , if the Gentile is the one withthe Holy Spirit, who does by nature the things of the Law - how is it that he might be lost ("...conscience either excusing or accusing .")? And what of 2:12? The "Gentile" in this passage, according to Judy, is the saved individual (having the indwelling Holy Spirit). He is judged by onestandardand the Jew (Christian?) is judged by another.

It is so much easier to just accept the text for what it says. 



What ever it means, we do know that it cannot be the same experienceas those under theMosaical Law. Is it the Holy Spirit 's influence - but you make a difference between the two. If this "law" has to do with various and multiple commandments, how are they written on our hearts in a way different from the Old Law? I honestly have no idea how you might answer this question. I have no answer and that is why I reject (up to this point in time) the notion that the "law written on our hearts" is talking about law as opposed to the rule of the Spirit. jd

Careful JD, if you reject everything in scripture that you don't comprehend mentally then pretty soon you will have to throw out the whole Book. jtI can't reject what I don't comprehend, Judy. You are such an avowed anti-intellectual that it is scary. And, what is almost funny about your anti-intellectual stance is that you rely so much on yourown brand of intellectualism. It is startling to me, justhow little you use scripture to get from point A to point B. "Discernment," my dear, is the single most lacking quality you possess!!! 



In OT days they did not have the Holy Spirit indwelling them, nor did they have
God's Law written on their hearts. They lived in a theocracy and Moses had to 
gather the ppl, men, women, and children and read God's Law to them every
seven years. jt

Democrats sell Christian 'hypocrite' stickerFish symbol with hellish flames removed from website after exposure

Posted: December 10, 20051:00 a.m. Eastern


©2005WorldNetDaily.com 




The official website of Washington State Democrats sold magnetic car stickers of the Christian fish symbol and cross emblazoned with the word "hypocrite" on a background of hellish flames. 
The item was removed about mid-day yesterday after a weblog took note, calling it an example of Democrat Party hostility toward religious believers, especially Christians. 

The original page can be seen here. 
The product was sold along with ribbons with slogans such as "Support Diversity" and "Give Peace a Chance." 
A line below the ribbons reads "Honk for Blue State Pride!" - referring to the common designation of states won by Democrats in the presidential election, and "Show your fellow drivers that magnetic car ribbons are not only the territory of Republicans!" - a reference to the popular "Support Our Troops" ribbons. 
Only the "hypocrite" magnet is missing from the current page . 
Special offers:

Re: [TruthTalk] Some thoughts from a master teacher

2005-12-10 Thread knpraise

"But in respect of the very three elements which are supposed to vindicate it[theology]as a science, namely, the idea of unity, the possibility of myth, and the humanistic relevance of Christianity, it can only be described as completely empty from the theological standpoint, so that theology integrated along these lines must be flatly disowned as theology" (Dogmatics, 1.1, The word of God, pp. 9,10).



When critics of Barth leapfrogsuch foundational comments, they cannot possibly understand what Barth is all about. He is as "conservative" as one gets - if being centered in the Word is a definition of same. 


Bro Barth seems to accept these criterion as legitimate considerations when one thinks to consider theology as a "science" :

1. freedom from contradiction
2. Unity in the sphere of its object. [read: subject matter].
3. The willingness to accept request for verification.
4. Respect for that which is physically and biologically impossible.
5. Freedom from all prejudgments.
6. The validity of axiomatic propositions [relative to biblical studies and 'theological' conclusions].

Certainly, these are excellent considerations as one considers a person hermeneutic.

 Christmas Party will take
 place on December 23rd at Luigi's Open Pit

 traditional carols ... feel
 free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our

 In addition, forget
 about the gifts

 $10 is too much money.

 Yes, there will be a flower arrangement for the
 gay men's table.
 Happy now?

Re: [TruthTalk] Mr. Cleo and the age of Aquarius

2005-12-10 Thread Blainerb473




Hope you can understand this (see 
below). 

The age of Aquarius will not 
startuntil the year 2614--until then we are stuck with the age of 
Pisces.
At the time of Christ, it was the age of 
Aries, which bytheway, is the birth sun-sign of Jesus--assuming he was born 
during the Passover, as the BoM suggests he was. And if he was born at 
that time, his moon sign would likely have been Libra. Aries and Libra are 
complementary signs--Aries emphasizing the head, symbolized by the Ram, and 
associated with courage, initiative, and independence; Librais 
symbolizedby the scales of justice and balance, and is associated 
with Love, fairness and social awareness. Libra is also sometimes 
symbolized byan iron fist wearing a velvet glove.

Precession and 
the Age of AquariusMany people have a daily encounter with the 
twelve signs of the zodiac in the form of daily horoscopes. This celestial 
self-help column is the tired heir of the ancient cult of astrology: the belief 
that what goes on overhead in the sky influences what we do in our daily lives. 
The horoscopes usually provide very generic advice, good for any sign in any 
season. How can one go wrong with that? Along with this belief of being 
influenced by balls of rock and gas millions and billions of light years away, 
is a belief that we also live in certain "ages." And perhaps no particular age 
is better know that the one paid tribute to in the 60's musical "Hair" the 
famous "Age of Aquarius." 
Before we go into what an "age" is, we have to 
point out a bit of a flaw in the astrological sense. My sign is Cancer, 
supposedly on my birthday, July 10th, the Sun resides in the stars of 
Cancer the Crab. Bzt! In fact, on July 10th, the Sun is nowhere near Cancer, 
it is lurking in Gemini, the Twins. What happened? It?s called precession. 

When astrology had its birth pangs, thousands of 
years ago with the Babylonians, the sky looked a little different than it does 
now. Long ago, on July 10th, the Sun really did hang out in Cancer. But 
precession has caused things to shift. The Earth rotates on its axis, just 
like a top. Also like a top, but not to the same extreme, the Earth is bulged 
slightly at the equator and flattened slightly at the poles. The Sun and Moon 
tug on that bulge and cause the Earth to wobble a bit. If you watch a spinning 
top you can see that the top does not point straight up but traces out a small 
circle which gets more pronounced as the top winds down. The Earth doesn't wind 
down and the axis keeps tracing out that same small circle. It takes a very long 
time to make one circle, 26,000 years to be exact. Precession has the effect of 
making the stars appear to "shift" in their places in the sky. 
Right now our axis points to the north star, 
long ago it pointed to a star called Thuban in Draco. In the future it will 
point to Vega, and sometimes in its path, there is no north star at all. But in 
addition to changes in the north star, there are other changes, and it is the 
reason for the shift in the zodiac. Precession has caused the Sun to have the 
stars of Gemini as a backdrop instead of Cancer. But back to the ages, 
what are they? 
The ages are astrology's way of dealing with 
precession. Long ago, on the vernal equinox, the Sun was in the stars of Aries 
the ram. Back then the astrologers referred to the age of Aries. Apparently 
there are certain attributes connected with each age. 
Currently we are in the age of Pisces. I'm not 
sure what attributes are connected with this age. According to the popular song, 
we are in the "dawning of the age of Aquarius." And when the much heralded age 
arrives, harmony, trust and love will abound. But don't hold your breath waiting 
for that age of Aquarius. It's going to be a long morning twilight. The age of 
Aquarius will not start until the year 2614.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
DAVEH: Sorry to take so long getting back to you on this, 
  Lance. While I can give you a longer version than before, I 
  certainly can't give you all the details, as I have neither the time (I do 
  need some sleep!) nor the knowledge. 
  But... As you must know, I believe God created 
  us spiritually prior to the creation of the world. IOWwe were spirit 
  beings in a pre-mortal existence. It is my belief that God the Father 
  consists of a spirit housed in a physical body. He created us as spirit 
  beings, with the intent that we could (if we desire and are obedient) become 
  not only one with him, but also perfect (complete, as Perry would suggest) as 
  he is perfect. That basic process is known by LDS 
  folks as eternal progressioneffectively progressing from a created 
  spirit being to one who is like God. As has been often quoted, one LDS 
  authority said...As man is, God once was. As God is, man 
  may become..which is a catchy phrase that tends to excite 
  many Christians, yet it implies the thinking of many LDS folks who believe we 
  have the potential to become like GodIFF we so desire to fulfill our 
  potential to become one with the Lord by being obedient to him. Those 
  who do so, bring glory to the Lord. Those who don't will suffer 
  damnation (hell) to some extent, by impeding their eternal 
  progression. In order that the spirit beings in the 
  pre-mortal existence can progress to the point of gaining a glorified 
  resurrected body of flesh and bone, as the Savior now has, it was necessary 
  for us to be born into a world created perfectly, so to speak. Adam and 
  Eve were created as immortals, and as such were incapable of death. Not 
  only that, but they were incapable of understanding the difference between 
  good and evilthey were innocent. Yes, they were pure and undefiled, 
  but yet they were also naive in their innocence.quite unlike God who knows 
  the difference between good and evil. By placing the 
  tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden, and then commanding them not 
  to eat of that tree, explaining that they would die IF they partook of the 
  forbidden fruit, God made it possible for them to not only gain the knowledge 
  needed to become like him, but he also provided a way they could shed their 
  bodies of flesh and bloodby dying, which separates the spirit from the 
  body. In partaking of the forbidden fruit, not only 
  did AE subject themselves to the possibility of physical death (which we 
  define as the separation of the spirit from the physical body), but they also 
  were separated from God.which we define as spiritual 
  death. In essence, this resulted in AE experiencing two 
  forms of hellfirst the separation from God, and second being returned to 
  the state of a spirit being, without the ability to overcome that 
  deficit. Hence, they would remain in that eternal state of damnation 
  forever, if it were not for God's plan of 
  salvation. That plan of salvation was prepared 
  before the foundation of the world, and Jesus was chosen to implement 
  it. God prepared his Son to be a perfect sacrifice to atone for 
  AE's (and all of mankind's) transgressions. Not only that, but the 
  Son he foreordained to save us from our (specifically, AE's in this 
  instance) sins also was able to overcome physical death in a process we know 
  as the resurrection. Neither of these impediments to our progression 
  were things we could overcome on our own though. We had to have a Savior 
  do that for us. Due to his resurrection, all will be resurrected and 
  gain an immortal physical body. Due to his atonement, all will have the 
  opportunity to have their sins remitted and return to heaven IF they so desire 
  and are willing to be obedient to the Lord's commandments. That is why 
  it is through his grace that we are saved...nothing we could do on our own 
  could accomplish that salvation. Once Jesus fulfilled that mantle of 
  salvation (both physical and spiritual), the only thing standing between us 
  and God is ourselves. Effectively...We can either keep the 
  commandments, and return to the Lord in heaven, or we can eschew them and 
  suffer damnation (impedance) to our eternal 
  progression. I hope that answers your query, 
  Lance. If you want a slightly deeper (and different) view of the Fall, I 
  can post an interesting perspective of the Fall that was recently posted to an 
  LDS Forum.just let me know if that appeals to 
you.

Blainerb: I actually saw and touched one 
of the original Sunstones that were placed in the Nauvoo Temple in Nauvoo 
Illinois. The state of Illinois had retained it for their museum. 
Thanks for showing us what it looks like. It represents--symbolizes--the 
highest degree of brightness and glory man may attain too in the 
resurrection--which glory is likened unto the sun. It is in no way a 
representation of what God actually looks like. (Read more

  There are seven stars in the sign or constellation of

  Lee "to represent the great truth that through the priesthood 
  of God the lost may find their way." Harold B.Lee, 
  Stand Ye in Holy Places, p. 251

Blainerb: President Lee is referring to 
the one star in the Big Dipper constellation called the North Star. Unlike 
the other six stars, it remains constant as the earth turns on its axis every 
twenty-four hours, and thus symbolizes Jesus Christ, who never deviates or 
changes, but remains a constant source of enlightenment for those who seek his 
counsel and who seek to emulate Him. We may, like the mariners of old who 
kept their course steady by taking a fix on the North Star, find our spiritual 
directions by taking a fix on Jesus Christ.

  
   
Blainerb: The above photo is of another 
section of the outer wall of the original Nauvoo, Illinois, Temple. The 
star symbolizes the lowest of the three degrees of glory man may attain to in 
the resurrection. Since stars produce their own light, these are probably 
those who stand in their own light and reject the greater light of Jesus 
Christ.

The moon represents the middle degree of glory 
man may be resurrected to. The glory of the moon is a reflection of the 
light received from the sun, and so shall it be among the inhabitants of this 
glory/Kingdom. That is, they will accept the greater light of Jesus 
Christ, and will be among the honorable of the earth, but were not valiant in 
their testimony of Jesus Christ. Kevin's nonsense below tells me he stands 
in his own light. :)

  sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the

  Enoch, Abraham, and Moses all had revelations on astronomy, 
  and Joseph Smith called the first newspaper of the Church The Evening and 
  the Morning Star. Why this preoccupation with the 
  heavens?
In the Book of Revelations, Christ is called 
the "bright and Morning Star. This would be Venus, which because of its 
being closer to the sun than the earth, sometimes follows the sun down as 
the Evening Star, sometimes is hidden behind the sun, and sometimes precedes the 
sun arising in the morning, so is called the Morning Star. This sequence 
symbolizes the death (Evening Star), burial (star behind the sun) and 
resurrection (Morning Star) of Jesus Christ. It is all symbolic. 
ByTheWay, the Hopi Indians include part of this sequence in one of their 
ceremonies--they have one of their priests wear a white robe and a fake beard, 
and chant, "I am the bright and morning 
star." (Book of the Hopi, p. 143, by Frank 
Waters.)

  Just as the Savior was born and sacrificed on special Hebrew calendar 
  days, so was the Prophet Joseph Smith. His birth on Monday, 23 
  December 1805 coincided with the Hebrew day marking the winter solstice, leading to the suggestion 
  that it symbolized the return of the light of the gospel to a dark 
  world.(Proctor, Scot Facer, Witness of the

  Moreover, Thursday, 27 June 1844, the day on which the Prophet went "like a

  when you, Judy Taylor, speak of the law written on your 
  heart? Memorization or what?
  
  





No JD, 
it's too much for the old unregenerated 
mind - the law is spiritual - When we are in Christ and indwelt by the Spirit of Christ we like the ppl in Romans 2:14,15 do by nature the thingsrequired by 
God's Law.

You have not explained how your 
version of legal inwardness is different from that of the OT opportunity for same. 


OT people had noSpirit of 
Christ indwelling them JD; they were to keep the Levitical Law along with 
God's moral laws.

Secondly,you 
misunderstand Romans , chapter 2 (you meant 2:14-,15 correct 
?).The "Gentiles" in that passage are not regenerated 
anything.

There is no way an unregenerated 
person either OT or NT is able to fulfill God's
law "by nature" JD. Read about 
their natures in Ephesians 2. Children of wrath.
Now tell me how you figure. 
Makes no sense. You arein Calvin's mode - 
OTOH
saying unregenerate man is by 
nature totally depraved and the next minute claiming that 
they can also"by nature" fulfill 
God's law - something only Jesus
had accomplished pre 
Calvary.

You only say that because your bias 
orders you to do so. 

If you want to call it that - OK 
then.My scriptural bias compelsme to do 
it.

Look at what you say 
!! The "Gentile" (according to you) is anyone and everyone 
who has the indwelling Holy 
Spirit. He is one who has received the new nature and , 
therefore, does by nature the things of the Law. 


Remember I did say the regenerated 
gentile who is walking after the Spirit JD.
Don't leave anything 
out.

So -- who is the Jew in 
this passage? He is obviously not like the rest of 
us. If the Gentile is the Holy Ghost inhabited disciple of 
God - who is this Jew guy?

He is either a disciple of Christ 
who is also indwelt by the Spirit of God - remember
in Christ there is no Jew, Greek, 
bond, or free. All are one. Or he is a 
legalistic
Judaiser who is still under bondage 
to the sacrificial law.

And , if the Gentile is the one 
withthe Holy Spirit, who does by nature the things of the Law 
- how is it that he might be lost 
("...conscience either 
excusing or accusing .")?

That does not refer to saved/lost 
JD. When a Christian's conscience excuses them
they go on their way 
rejoicing. When accused by the conscience it is time to go 
to
the throne of grace and do some 
business with God. Time to repent.


And what of 2:12? The 
"Gentile" in this passage, according to Judy, is the saved individual 
(having the indwelling Holy 
Spirit). He is judged by 
onestandardand the 
Jew (Christian?) 
is judged by 
another.

I didn't say anything of the kind 
JD. The above is your construction and yours 
alone
Please stop putting words in my 
mouth. I can speak for myself, thank you.

It is so much easier to just accept 
the text for what it says. 

Yes, then you don't have to cut 
anything out or try to manipulate any passages.



What ever it means, we do know that it cannot be the same 
experienceas those under theMosaical Law. Is it the 
Holy Spirit 's influence - but you make a difference 
between the two. If this "law" has to do with various and 
multiple commandments, how are they written on our hearts in a way 
different from the Old Law? I honestly have no idea how you 
might answer this question. I have no answer 
and that is why I reject (up to this point in time) the notion that the "law 
written on our hearts" is talking about law as opposed to the 
rule of the Spirit. jd

Careful JD, if you reject everything in scripture that 
you don't comprehend mentally then pretty soon you will have to throw out the whole 
Book. jtI can't 
reject what I don't comprehend, Judy. You are 
such an avowed anti-intellectual that it is scary. And, 
what is almost funny about your anti-intellectual stance is that you rely so 
much on yourown brand of intellectualism. It is startling to me, 
justhow little you use scripture to get from point A to 
point B. "Discernment," my dear, is the single most

Blainerb: The above photo is of another section of the outer wall of the original Nauvoo, Illinois, Temple. The star symbolizes the lowest of the three degrees of glory man may attain to in the resurrection. Since stars produce their own light, these are probably those who stand
 in their own light and reject the greater light of Jesus Christ.The moon represents the middle degree of glory man may be resurrected to. The glory of the moon is a reflection of the light received from the sun, and so shall it be among the inhabitants of this glory/Kingdom. That is, they will accept the greater light of Jesus Christ, and will be among the honorable of the earth, but were not valiant in their testimony of Jesus Christ. Kevin's nonsense below tells me he stands in his own light. :)Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.  2 Kings 23:5,11 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which [was] in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.  http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/lds/meridian/2000/mormastr2.html#fn12  Enoch, Abraham, and Moses all had revelations on astronomy, and Joseph Smith called the first newspaper of the Church The Evening and the Morning Star. Why this preoccupation with the heavens?  In the Book of Revelations, Christ is called the "bright and Morning Star. This would be Venus, which because of its being closer to the sun than the earth, sometimes follows the sun down as the Evening Star, sometimes is hidden behind the sun, and sometimes precedes the sun arising in the morning, so is called the Morning Star. This sequence symbolizes the death (Evening Star), burial (star behind the sun) and resurrection (Morning Star) of Jesus Christ. It is all symbolic. ByTheWay, the Hopi
 Indians include part of this sequence in one of their ceremonies--they have one of their priests wear a white robe and a fake beard, and chant, "I am the bright and morning star." (Book of the Hopi, p. 143, by Frank Waters.)Just as the Savior was born and sacrificed on special Hebrew calendar days, so was the Prophet Joseph Smith. His birth on Monday, 23 December 1805 coincided with the Hebrew day marking the winter solstice, leading to the suggestion that it symbolized the return of the light of the gospel to a dark world.(Proctor, Scot Facer, Witness of the Light, Deseret Book Company, Salt Lake City, Utah, p.
 22) Moreover, Thursday, 27 June 1844, the day on which the Prophet went "like a lamb to the slaughter" (DC 135:4), was one of four Hebrew "days of atonement" ( the day of atonement on which joe was "martyed")The Law of Moses actually required priests to sacrifice

  DAVEH: Sorry to take so long getting back to you on this,
Lance. While I can give you a longer version than before, I certainly
can't give you all the details, as I have neither the time (I do need
some sleep!) nor the knowledge. But...

 As you must know, I believe God created us spiritually prior to the
creation of the world. IOWwe were spirit beings in a pre-mortal
existence. It is my belief that God the Father consists of a spirit
housed in a physical body. He created us as spirit beings, with the
intent that we could (if we desire and are obedient) become not only
one with him, but also perfect (complete, as Perry would suggest) as he
is perfect.

 That basic process is known by LDS folks as eternal progressioneffectively
progressing from a created spirit being to one who is like God. As has
been often quoted, one LDS authority said...

As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become.

.which is a catchy phrase that tends to excite many Christians,
yet it implies the thinking of many LDS folks who believe we have the
potential to become like GodIFF we so desire to fulfill our
potential to become one with the Lord by being obedient to him. Those
who do so, bring glory to the Lord. Those who don't will suffer
damnation (hell) to some extent, by impeding their eternal progression.

 In order that the spirit beings in the pre-mortal existence can
progress to the point of gaining a glorified resurrected body of flesh
and bone, as the Savior now has, it was necessary for us to be born
into a world created perfectly, so to speak. Adam and Eve were created
as immortals, and as such were incapable of death. Not only that, but
they were incapable of understanding the difference between good and
evilthey were innocent. Yes, they were pure and undefiled, but yet
they were also naive in their innocence.quite unlike God who knows
the difference between good and evil.

 By placing the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden,
and then commanding them not to eat of that tree, explaining that they
would die IF they partook of the forbidden fruit, God made it possible
for them to not only gain the knowledge needed to become like him, but
he also provided a way they could shed their bodies of flesh and
bloodby dying, which separates the spirit from the body.

 In partaking of the forbidden fruit, not only did AE subject
themselves to the possibility of physical death (which we define as the
separation of the spirit from the physical body), but they also were
separated from God.which we define as spiritual death. In
essence, this resulted in AE experiencing two forms of
hellfirst the separation from God, and second being returned to the
state of a spirit being, without the ability to overcome that deficit.
Hence, they would remain in that eternal state of damnation forever, if
it were not for God's plan of salvation.

 That plan of salvation was prepared before the foundation of the
world, and Jesus was chosen to implement it. God prepared his Son to
be a perfect sacrifice to atone for AE's (and all of
mankind's) transgressions. Not only that, but the Son he foreordained
to save us from our (specifically, AE's in this instance) sins
also was able to overcome physical death in a process we know as the
resurrection. Neither of these impediments to our progression were
things we could overcome on our own though. We had to have a Savior do
that for us. Due to his resurrection, all will be resurrected and gain
an immortal physical body. Due to his atonement, all will have the
opportunity to have their sins remitted and return to heaven IF they so
desire and are willing to be obedient to the Lord's commandments. That
is why it is through his grace that we are saved...nothing we could
do on our own could accomplish that salvation. Once Jesus fulfilled
that mantle of salvation (both physical and spiritual), the only thing
standing between us and God is ourselves. Effectively...We can
either keep the commandments, and return to the Lord in heaven, or we
can eschew them and suffer damnation (impedance) to our eternal
progression.

 I hope that answers your query, Lance. If you want a slightly
deeper (and different) view of the Fall, I can post an interesting
perspective of the Fall that was recently posted to an LDS
Forum.just let me

Church leaders called upon one of its great intellects to make sure the temple was astrologically aligned:  "In 1878, a plan of the Temple’s exterior walls was purposely drafted to plot the exact location of each of the fifty moon-stones according to lunar phase, month and year. This was determined by observations made that year in anticipation of the next season’s building program when the moon-stones were to be laid. The individual most capable of such an observation was Orson Pratt…In 1869, an astronomical observatory of wood and adobe was constructed specifically for him on the southeast corner of the Temple Block…" Hamilton and Cuturbus, pp. 142,143.   
 Salt Lake temple: All-seeing-eye – an eye in a triangle surrounded by rays of light – like an Egyptian symbol of Herupaar-Kraat, the Widget Eye. Heru was the hawk-headed lord of Satanic power.   Masonic handshakes.   Suns – symbols of the ancient sungod, Ba’al, the archrival of the true Biblical god, Yahweh (I Kings 18 and elsewhere).   Moon phases – symbols of the witch goddess, Diana or Artemis, the queen of heaven. The dark phases of the Moon are for black magick, the full phases of the Moon for white magick. Upright pentagrams (5-pointed star) – the universal symbol of witchcraft and the goddess. Its richness in meaning is far too lengthy to detail here. Suffice it to say that there is no single symbol more associated with magick.   Big Dipper
 constellation (Ursa Major) – all constellations have magickal significance. This one was sacred to the ancient Egyptian worship of Set (the Egyptian god of evil) and was used by Set’s votaries to determine the dime of his ascendancy.   Inverted pentagrams (single point down) – universally regarded as an evil symbol, many witches will not use it because it is used to call down the power of Satan! (Also found on the Logan temple  Nauvoo.) Eleven large inverted pentagrams decorated the Nauvoo Temple.   Hexagram – (6 pointed star within a circle), though sometimes associated with Judaism, this star when within a circle is the symbol of the anti-Christ. It has 6 points, 6 angles, and an interior polygon of 6 sides – hence the perfect symbol of 666. all over the Assembly Hall.

Christians battle over 'Narnia'

Conservative and liberal theologians
try to lay claim to author C.S. Lewis's towering legacy as a Christian thinker.

By G. Jeffrey MacDonald | Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor 

The
legacy of one of the 20th century's most influential religious figures is
suddenly up for grabs, thanks to a new family film intended to make millions at
the box office. 

That's because Walt Disney's The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, set for
release nationwide Friday, has helped fuel fresh interest in the beliefs of its
late creator, C.S. Lewis. Though perhaps best known for his entertaining
children's books, Lewis has attained a following among millions of Christians
drawn to explore - and debate - what he believed to lie at the heart of
Christianity.

In one
camp are evangelicals, whose churches regularly use Lewis's book Mere
Christianity to introduce newcomers to orthodox understandings of Jesus
Christ. The evangelical magazine Christianity Today goes so far as to call this
work the best religious book of the 20th century.

He still gives one of the best
rational defenses of the Christian faith, says David L. Neuhouser,
director of the Center for the Study of C.S. Lewis and Friends at Taylor
University, an evangelical school in Upland, Ind. His view of biblical
truth in particular might not be where fundamentalists would like him to be,
but in the important things [such as doctrinal claims], I think he is one with
evangelicals Evangelicals do claim him, certainly.

Others, however, insist that Lewis cared
chiefly about bringing the worldwide Christian family together. Since he helped
advance a vibrant ecumenical movement in his day, he must not be reduced to a
sectarian champion posthumously, according to the Rev. Dr. Clair McPherson,
associate priest at the Church of the Transfiguration, an Episcopal
congregation in lower Manhattan.

Lewis makes it very clear ... that
his purpose is not to be biased toward any denominational point of view or even
any theological point of view within Christianity, says Reverend
McPherson, who's been leading about 50 adults this fall in a four-week study of
Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I would never
say to evangelicals, 'you can't have him.' I would say, 'he belongs to all of
us.' 

Laying claim to Lewis's legacy is
serious business in the diverse world of 21st century Christianity. That's
because 42 years after his death, this Irish-born Oxford
 University instructor
still sells books like hotcakes: Mere Christianity alone has sold
almost 1 million copies since January 2001.

Through a corpus that includes more than
30 books, Lewis explains and popularizes a faith that now nurses painful
fractures along political as well as theological lines. Whichever of the
competing strains can lay claim to his legacy stands to enjoy the fruits of
association with a widely loved giant of Christian faith.

In this milieu, left-leaning Christians
are refusing to let Lewis fossilize as an archetype of modern-day
evangelicalism.

Adherents to a sectarian style in
confrontational evangelical circles could learn a lot from Lewis, says
Stephen G. Post, a bioethicist at Case
Western Reserve University
in Cleveland.
I think what I do is more in tune with his tonality and content
when turning to science, Islam, and elsewhere for guidance on unforeseen moral
dilemmas.

Such an eclectic method would please
Lewis, he says, because it reflects the author's commitment to reason and
humility rather than hubris.

As a writer, Lewis defies easy
categorization, as his books span genres ranging from his academic discipline
of medieval literature to Christian apologetics, science fiction, and fantasy.
As a Christian, he called Anglicanism his denominational home, yet he continues
to inspire devotion to other branches of Christianity.

What kind of prophets go about giving political

spiritual giftings to be of the edification and 
building up of the body of Christ. Are you
sure he isn't a fortune teller? Actually I am not

[TruthTalk] movie review from WND

2005-12-10 Thread ShieldsFamily














Absolutely
thrilling!











Posted: December 9, 2005
1:00 a.m. Eastern

2005WorldNetDaily.com 

Almost 100 million people
have read The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, in a publishing
universe where most books sell less than 10,000 copies, according to the
publishers. The book is credited with leading many people to know Jesus Christ
and is a favorite among Christians, although many readers have said that they
have missed the book's clear Christological allusions. 

The great news is that the Disney movie, produced in
conjunction with Walden Media, is not only very entertaining, but clearly
retains the deeper truth and essence of C.S. Lewis's great novel, the first in
his great seven-part Chronicles Of Narnia fantasy series. 

In this regard, C.S. Lewis wanted the story to get past the
watchful dragons of young minds trained by an increasingly secular
British culture to help the readers understand the good news of Jesus Christ.
He revealed his method in his March 1961 letter to a young girl named Anne: 

I think you will probably see
that there is a deeper meaning behind it. The whole Narnian story is about
Christ. That is to say, I asked myself Supposing that there really was a
world like Narnia and supposing it had (like our world) gone wrong, and
supposing Christ wanted to go into that world and save it (as He did ours) what
might have happened? The stories are my answers. 

Since Narnia is a world of
Talking Beasts, I thought He would become a Talking Beast there, as He became a
man here. I pictured Him becoming a lion there because (a) the lion is supposed
to be the king of beasts; (b) Christ is called 'The Lion of Judah' in the
Bible; (c) I'd been having strange dreams about lions when I began writing the
work. The whole series works out like this. 

The Magician's Nephew
tells the Creation and how evil entered Narnia. 

The Lion etc. the
Crucifixion and Resurrection. 

Prince Caspian
restoration of the true religion after corruption. 

The Horse and His Boy
the calling and conversion of a heathen. 

The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader the spiritual life (especially in Reepicheep). 

The Silver Chair the
continuing war with the powers of darkness. 

The Last Battle the coming of the antichrist
(the ape) the end of the world and the Last Judgement. 

 Source: Bluspels and Flalansferes: A Semantic
Nightmare, in Selected Literary Essays, Walter Hooper, London: Cambridge
 University Press, 1969,
426. 

Very, very few people will see the slight divergences that the
movie takes from the novel. And, even fewer will see the few very subtle
theological shifts in the new movie. So the great news is that the movie works
well and is a great tool for the church to help people understand the truth of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

The movie itself starts slightly before the book with an air
raid in London
that puts the four Pevensie children  Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy
 in jeopardy. The children are sent out of the city to stay with
Professor Kirke in the countryside for protection. 

During a game of Hide and Seek, Lucy stumbles on an old
wardrobe. The wardrobe leads her to Narnia, a world with talking animals and
mythical creatures. There, she meets a faun, who thinks better of kidnapping
her and puts his life in jeopardy by letting her return to the world of men. 

The evil White Witch has taken control of the land, turning it
into a state of forever winter but never Christmas. A prophecy says that four
sons and daughters of Adam and Eve will be brought to Narnia to assist Aslan,
the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea, free Narnia from the White Witch. To
thwart the prophecy, the White Witch has told the creatures of Narnia that, if
they see a son or daughter of Adam and Eve, they should kidnap them and bring
them to her. 

When Lucy returns to the world of human beings, her brothers
Edmund and Peter and her sister Susan do not believe she was in Narnia. Lucy
goes to Narnia through the wardrobe a second time. Edmund follows her and
becomes a pawn of the White Witch. 

Like Satan, the White Witch offers Edmund something that he
already has, the authority to rule Narnia, and traps him with a counterfeit
sacrament of Turkish Delight, a jelly confection dusted with sugar. Edmund's
sisters and brother must find Aslan to try to set him free. Aslan tells the
White Witch that he will die to pay the penalty for Edmund's treachery, but not
that his resurrection will once and for all break her control over Narnia. 

The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe is very
exciting. The excitement is heightened by a compelling sense of Providence leading the
children into Narnia and the foreshadowing of the prophetic expectations. 

The production quality is much greater than the sum of its
parts. The camerawork is superb. The computer-generated images are enchanting.
Aslan comes to life in a magnificent way (he is a real lion!) as do all the
creatures of Narnia. The four children are very good, especially Lucy, and

Subject:
[Grace-to-you] To Sandra: This One's For You!

If I understand it correctly,
the Protestant view of what we call the "Fall" in the Garden of Eden
need not have occurred. It was possible for Adam and Eve to always
obey God and, if they had done so, the human race could havecontinued
in a state of primal innocence. For the sake of argument, let's
suppose that the first couple had remained obedient and sinless. All
of their offspring would be born in the same condition, but each of
them would alsothen face the choice of whether to obey God or not.
(Presumably, Satan could have been very creative in thinking up various
ways to put them to the test.)

The odds are overwhelming that at least some
of these offspring would fall into sin, although others might not. The
sinfulones would then pass this fallen condition onto their children,
who would become the inheritors of their parents' "original" sin and
guilt. These people would stand in need of the redemption and
atonement for sin later offered by Christ, and might become inclined to
do all sorts of wicked things. 
But the ones descended from sinless parents,
who also did not sin themselves, would not. They would have no need of
salvation as long as they remained perfectly virtuous. 

If this could happen at all, I don't see why
it couldn't go on indefinitely. The human race would then have two
basic lines of development, but what a curious situation this would
be. It's a safe bet that the twogroups would be in constant conflict
with each other. When it finally came, the gospel message to the
sinful group would be: "You need to repent and be saved." The message
to the sinlessly perfectgroup would be: "Don't worry, you're fine just
the way you are."

Now, it's safe to assume that the sinful
group might come tooutnumber the sinless group, if only by virtue of
their ability to procreate more naturallysinful people. On the other
hand, the sinless folks would go on living forever on earth since they
would not be subject to physical death. That sounds nice at first, but
at least some of the sinful people would probably repent and be saved,
so that whiletheir death was inevitable, so too was the possibility
that they would go to heavenly glory upon dying. 

Who would then be better off--the perfect
people or the saved sinners? Which is better, a permanent existence on
earth, or eternity in a heavenly state? Once word got out that
forgiven sinners could go to a higher plane of existence and remain
there forever, wouldn'tthe perfect people be inclined to say:"This
business of obeying God isall very well and good, but I think I'd be
better off if I sinned and then repented of it so I can go to heaven
instead!"

If that all sounds far fetched, that's only
because it is--butthen, so is much of what passes for "Christian"
theology about original sin. In light of the above considerations, why
is the LDS view of a "necessary" Fall (and one that didn't take God by
surprise) so outrageous? God knew exactly what would happen with
Adam
and Eve, andit was just what he had in mind all along. And if that's
not the case, then you are required to believe things that are much
more absurd than the "some sinless and some sinful" scenario described
above. 

Things like:

Unbaptized infants spend eternity in hell.
St. Augustine certainly believed it, and he's the hero of Catholics and
Calvinists alike. After all, if original sin and guilt are inherited,
why should babies get a free pass? And if we think they're innocent,
maybe that's only because we're guilty ourselves. God's justice is
infinite, and so is his wrath. If the tykes haven't been "born again"
they're out of luck.

Some people have been predestined to be
saved, while others have been predestined by God to spend eternity in
hell, and there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do about it.
Whynot? Because God is sovereign and that's the way he wants it.
Case closed. If you're smart, you'll at least pretend to be sure that
you're predestined to be one of the saved--and hope you're right.
(Hint: vilifying Mormons is regarded as a sure sign that you're saved,
so do it as often as possible.)

The vast majority of the human race will
spend eternity in hell anyway, because they never made a decision for
Christ.
This includes all those who have never even heard of Christ, from 33
A.
D. right up to the present. They also haven't been "born again" and
they never will be. If that sounds harsh, just remember that it isn't
God's fault that it took 20 centuries to invent television and
theBenny Hinn Show. Those who have access to a TV set now at least
have half a chance, but the rest are stillhopelessly

disowned as theology" (Dogmatics, 1.1, The word of God, pp. 9,10).

So the late Barth did or did not believe theology is a science? There is no way I can answer that question without you misunderstanding. Sorry. besides, the point of the above had nothing to do with "science." 

Is this what he said all that to say? This is not written in English. 


When critics of Barth leapfrogsuch foundational comments, they cannot possibly understand what Barth is 
all about. He is as "conservative" as one gets - if being centered in the Word is a definition of same. 

Why is it necessary to understand what Barth is about JD? Because simple folk like you are busy misunderstanding what Barth is about, JT. 


Ppl can be conservative and well meaning
and still be dead wrong. Thank you for your testimony on that. 

Bro Barth seems to accept these criterion as legitimate considerations when one thinks to consider 
theology as a "science" 

How is it possible for theology to be a science when observation is the key toscience?
So how does one observe God? Who said the rules of natural science are the rules of thgology? Not me. Not Barth. Just you. You are just arguing with yourself on this one, Judy. 

1. freedom from contradiction

The Bible is already free from contradiction with or without Barth
Not the way you interpret it  

2. Unity in the sphere of its object. [read: subject matter].

That's sadly lacking - on TT at least, I guess Barth would have been unified with himself.]
Huh? All I know is that you do not agree with any other person on TT -- none of do.

3. The willingness to accept request for verification.

Who would he verify with? Anyone who has an ear for understanding. 

4. Respect for that which is physically and biologically impossible.

What is impossible with God?You miss the point. If you do not have have respect for what is naturally impossible, you will never recognize a miracle when it happens. 

5. Freedom from all prejudgments. 

6. The validity of axiomatic propositions [relative to biblical studies and 'theological' conclusions].

Certainly, these are excellent considerations as one considers a person hermeneutic.

Me again.JD writes: You speak as if the Holy Sprit indwelling and the "..law written on their hearts" are two different things. What exactly do you mean when you, Judy Taylor, speak of the law written on your heart? Memorization or what? 







No JD, it's too much for the old unregenerated mind - the law is spiritual - When we are in Christ and indwelt by the Spirit of Christ we like the ppl in Romans 2:14,15 do by nature the thingsrequired by God's Law.

You have not explained how your version of legal inwardness is different from that of the OT opportunity for same. 

OT people had noSpirit of Christ indwelling them JD; they were to keep the Levitical Law along with God's moral laws.

Secondly,you misunderstand Romans , chapter 2 (you meant 2:14-,15 correct ?).The "Gentiles" in that passage are not regenerated anything.

There is no way an unregenerated person either OT or NT is able to fulfill God's
law "by nature" JD. Read about their natures in Ephesians 2. Children of wrath.
Now tell me how you figure. Makes no sense. You arein Calvin's mode - OTOH
saying unregenerate man is by nature totally depraved and the next minute claiming that they can also"by nature" fulfill God's law - something only Jesus
had accomplished pre Calvary.

You only say that because your bias orders you to do so. 

If you want to call it that - OK then.My scriptural bias compelsme to do it.

Look at what you say !! The "Gentile" (according to you) is anyone and everyone who has the indwelling Holy Spirit. He is one who has received the new nature and , therefore, does by nature the things of the Law. 

Remember I did say the regenerated gentile who is walking after the Spirit JD.
Don't leave anything out.

So -- who is the Jew in this passage? He is obviously not like the rest of us. If the Gentile is the Holy Ghost inhabited disciple of God - who is this Jew guy?

He is either a disciple of Christ who is also indwelt by the Spirit of God - remember
in Christ there is no Jew, Greek, bond, or free. All are one. Or he is a legalistic
Judaiser who is still under bondage to the sacrificial law.

And , if the Gentile is the one withthe Holy Spirit, who does by nature the things of the Law - how is it that he might be lost ("...conscience either excusing or accusing .")?

That does not refer to saved/lost JD. When a Christian's conscience excuses them
they go on their way rejoicing. When accused by the conscience it is time to go to
the throne of grace and do some business with God. Time to repent.


And what of 2:12? The "Gentile" in this passage, according to Judy, is the saved individual (having the indwelling Holy Spirit). He is judged by onestandardand the Jew (Christian?) is judged by another.

I didn't say anything of the kind JD. The above is your construction and yours alone
Please stop putting words in my mouth. I can speak for myself, thank you.

It is so much easier to just accept the text for what it says. 

Yes, then you don't have to cut anything out or try to manipulate any passages.



What ever it means, we do know that it cannot be the same experienceas those under theMosaical Law. Is it the Holy Spirit 's influence - but you make a difference between the two. If this "law" has to do with various and multiple commandments, how are they written on our hearts in a way different from the Old Law? I honestly have no idea how you might answer this question. I have no answer and that is why I reject (up to this point in time) the notion that the "law written on our hearts" is talking about law as opposed to the rule of the Spirit. jd

Careful JD, if you reject everything in scripture that you don't comprehend mentally then pretty soon you will have to throw out the whole Book. jtI can't reject what I don't comprehend, Judy. You are such an avowed anti-intellectual that it is scary. And, what is almost funny about your anti-intellectual stance is that you rely so much on yourown brand of intellectualism.

their own light, these are probably  those who stand in their own light and

The moon represents the middle degree of glory  man may be resurrected to.

Why this preoccupation with the  heavens?

earth, sometimes  follows the sun down as  the Evening Star, sometimes is

is
called the Morning Star.  This sequence  symbolizes the death (Evening

burial (star behind the sun)  and  resurrection (Morning Star) of Jesus

daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth  divination, or an 
observer

of times, or an enchanter, or a  witch.


There are seven stars in the sign or constellation of  the Big Dipper on 
the

Salt Lake Temple, explained by President Harold B.  Lee to represent the
great truth that through the priesthood  of God the lost may find their 
way.

Harold B.Lee,  Stand Ye in Holy Places, p. 251


Blainerb:  President Lee is referring to  the one star in the Big Dipper
constellation called the North Star.  Unlike  the other six stars, it 
remains

constant as the earth turns on its axis every  twenty-four hours, and thus
symbolizes Jesus Christ, who never deviates or  changes, but remains a 
constant
source of enlightenment for those who seek his  counsel and who seek to 
emulate
Him.  We may, like the mariners of old who  kept their course steady by 
taking a
fix on the North Star, find our spiritual  directions by taking a fix on 
Jesus

Christ.




Blainerb:  The above photo is of another  section of the outer wall of the
original Nauvoo, Illinois, Temple.  The  star symbolizes the lowest of the 
three
degrees of glory man may attain to in  the resurrection.  Since stars 
produce

their own light, these are probably  those who stand in their own light and
reject the greater light of Jesus  Christ.

The moon represents the middle degree of glory  man may be resurrected to.
The glory of the moon is a reflection of the  light received from the sun, 
and

so shall it be among the inhabitants of this  glory/Kingdom.  That is, they
will accept the greater light of Jesus  Christ, and will be among the 
honorable

of the earth, but were not valiant in  their testimony of Jesus Christ.
Kevin's nonsense below tells me he stands  in his own light.  :)

Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your  Moloch and Chiun your
images, the star of your god, which ye made to  yourselves.


2 Kings 23:5,11  And he put  down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of
Judah had ordained to  burn incense in the high places in the cities of 
Judah,
and in the places  round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense 
unto
Baal, to the  sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the  
host of
heaven. And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had  given to 
the

sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the  chamber of
Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which [was] in the suburbs, and  burned the 
chariots of

the sun with fire.

Enoch, Abraham, and Moses all had revelations on astronomy,  and Joseph 
Smith

called the first newspaper of the Church The Evening and  the Morning Star.
Why this preoccupation with the  heavens?

In the Book of Revelations, Christ is called  the bright and Morning Star.
This would be Venus, which because of its  being closer to the sun than the
earth, sometimes  follows the sun down as  the Evening Star, sometimes is 
hidden
behind the sun, and sometimes precedes the  sun arising in the morning, so 
is
called the Morning Star.  This sequence  symbolizes the death (Evening 
Star),

burial (star behind the sun)  and  resurrection (Morning Star) of Jesus
Christ.  It is all symbolic.   ByTheWay, the Hopi Indians include part of 
this
sequence in one of their  ceremonies--they have one of their priests wear a 
white

robe and a fake beard,  and chant, I am the bright and morning  star.
(Book of the Hopi, p. 143, by Frank   Waters.)

  As you should know by now, I do not believe the Bible to be the only 
source of spiritual enlightenment!  :)  I have a book titled Lost Books of 
the Bible, in which there are accounts that are written as being true, but 
were not accepted by those who made the final decisions of what should and 
what should not be included in the holy writ.  I tried to find it--must 
still be buried with stuff from when I moved--if I find it I will give you 
chapter and verse.
In the account it actually gives the sister's name, and describes her 
as being very beautiful.

I dont want to be the kind of
person who is Against Everything. I want to be For God-Kinds of
Things. I dont want to spend my life fighting against everything.
I want to spend my life Celebrating Life in Christ. Like Jesus, I dont
want to emulate the world, but to embrace the world with His Truth. Jesus
didnt reject the prostitute. He redeemed her. Jesus didnt
reject the world. He became part of it. He bled for it. He redeemed
it. And because of that His Secret Kingdom now permeates the world.
We who dwell in that Secret
 Kingdom are now the
counter-culture revolutionaries that Jesus was. We turn the things
of the world on their head, and use them to spread the Good News. Whether
it be mythology, movies, or e-mail, we use the things of the world to overcome
the world with good. The gospel triumphs over every imagination of
man. There were probably those who rejected those strange new printing
contraptions that made those newfangled books called Bibles. Why cant
we just read from the scrolls like our grandfathers did? The Word will not be
bound by the traditions of men, but explodes exponentially with each new age.

I don't see His parables as every day
stuff - especially not when he told His disciples that





he spoke in parables so that some would
not see - rather than to make it easy for the regular





run of the mill person out there (see
Matt 13:34-43)
