Re: [TruthTalk] Law and Spirit
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. On Fri, 09 Dec 2005 17:44:07 -0500 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. 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. jtFrom: Judy Taylor jandgtaylor1@juno.com In OT days they did not have the Holy Spirit indwelling them, nor did they have God's Law written on their hearts.

[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?

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 On Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:21:12 -0500 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How is this different from OT days Yes we now have God's Law written on our hearts ??? jd

Saturday, December 10, 2005 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: Avoid the crowds - finish shopping from home at WND's Christmas Store! More great Christmas ideas from WND
Re: [TruthTalk] Some thoughts from a master teacher
"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.

[TruthTalk] Employee Christmas Party
Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 2:02 PM Subject: Re: Employee Christmas Party Employee Christmas Party December 1st TO: ALL EMPLOYEES I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue. There will be lots of spiked eggnog and a small band playing traditional carols ... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus to light the Christmas tree! Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Patty Lewis Human Resources Director --- - December 2nd TO: ALL EMPLOYEES In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday that often coincides with Christmas (though unfortunately not this year). However, from now on we're calling it our Holiday Party.? The same policy applies to employees who are celebrating Kwanzaa at this time. There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols sung. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Patty Lewis Human Resources Director -- December 3rd TO: ALL EMPLOYEES Regarding the anonymous note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, I'm happy to accommodate this request, but, don't forget, if I put a sign on the table that reads, AA Only, you won't be anonymous anymore. In addition, forget about the gifts exchange-- no gifts will be allowed since the union members feel that $10 is too much money. Patty Lewis Human Researchers Director December 7th TO: ALL EMPLOYEES I've arranged for members of Overeaters Anonymous to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with the gay men if they don't care to; each will have their own table. Yes, there will be a flower arrangement for the gay men's table. Happy now? Patty Lewis Human Racehorses Director December 9th TO: ALL EMPLOYEES People, people -- nothing sinister was intended by wanting our CEO to play Santa Claus! Even if the anagram of Santa does happen to be Satan, there is no evil connotation to our own little man in a red suit. Patty Lewis Human Ratraces -- December 10th TO: ALL EMPLOYEES Vegetarians -- I've had it with you people!! We're going to hold this party at Luigi's Open Pit whether you like it or not, you can just sit at the table farthest from the grill of death, as you put it, and you'll get salad bar only, including hydroponic tomatoes.? But, you know, tomatoes have feelings, too.? They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream.? I'm hearing them right now... Ha! I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die, you hear me? Patti Lewis The Witch from Hell --- December 14th TO: ALL EMPLOYEES I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery from her stress-related illness. I'll continue to forward your cards to her at the sanitarium. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.

Re: [TruthTalk] Mr. Cleo and the age of Aquarius
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. Blainerb (more below) In a message dated 12/8/2005 8:57:32 P.M. Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Blaine, the resident TT astrologer says, " and the sunstone with the round-faced image of god". Is god's face round like the sun?

I haven't sung that since Pluto was in the doghouse.Blaine, can you explain what the age of aquarius is, if we are now in the age of aquarius, and how that squares with your mormon beliefs, or how it does not?Do you believe Nostradamus to be an authentic prognosticator of the future? What evidence do you have of the truth of his prophecies?Thanks,Perry 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.

Re: [TruthTalk] New Subject--AE--Dave's clarifying explanation
Nice explication, Dave--I should have it printed off and give it out next time I teach a SS class-- Blainerb In a message dated 12/9/2005 12:35:10 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, [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.

Re: [TruthTalk] Mr. Cleo
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 below) In a message dated 12/9/2005 5:42:19 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: temple stone! Du 17 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded Du 18 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his 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. 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

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 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

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.

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. 251Blainerb: 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. 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

Mountain Standard Time, [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

Church leaders called upon one of its great intellects to make sure the temple was astrologically aligned: "In 1878, a plan of the Temples 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 seasons 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, Baal, 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.

[TruthTalk] CSL article
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 the Monitor Friday, 12/09/05 Congress torn over Iraq endgame Air marshal program: Is training adequate?

E-mail this story E-mail this story Write a letter to the Editor Printer-friendly version Permission to reprint/republish 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. David Tiede Hottinger of Greenville, S.C., for instance, renounced the

[TruthTalk] movie review from WND
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

YES I'd like for you to post the 'newer' material DAVEH: I'm not fond of borrowing material from another forum to post in its entirety, but I find Court Watch's comments from another forum in which I lurk to be interesting to ponder, Lance ++ ++ ++ ++ Court Watch wrote: 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.)

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

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. 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

RE: [TruthTalk] CSL comparable to Elvis??
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?
