Re: [Bulk] Re: [TruthTalk] spirit of Hinn
I can not discern Deans meaning I guess you would have to ask him. Should I be responsible for everyone elses beliefs now? DAVEH: You seemed to have little hesitation claiming to know what I believe, so why you would feign not understanding Dean's meaning seems strange, since you fellas are on the same side of the fence. Again I have no desire to see you depart from TT. DAVEH: Yes, you've said that beforethank you. As I remember, it was Dean who felt that I should not be given ground here on which to stand. In the past, he has made it clear that I should be jettisoned from TT. I do not recall you making any such comments though. You are always looking for "common ground" I think I can agree with the following: DAVEH: I find that interesting. I did not think you would see it quite the same way as OP stated it. Hm.I learn something every day! Kevin Deegan wrote: DAVEH: Thanx Kevin. Hmmm...what do you think Judge Dean meant by his comment.I guess I will Get DavH off you back? His below explanation lacks logical credibility, IMO. I don't have my crystal ball handy so I can not discern Deans meaning I guess you would have to ask him. Should I be responsible for everyone elses beliefs now? Any guess from me would be just that. Do you want me to guess, I can do that if you want. Again I have no desire to see you depart from TT. Obviously I do not agree with your belief system and am vocal about it as I should be. Someone else put it this way: "If I should hear a man advocate the erroneous principles he had imbibed through education, and oppose those principles, some might imagine that I opposed to that man, when I am opposed to every evil and erroneous principle he advances." - Brigham Young, - Journal of Discourses 7:191 You are always looking for "common ground" I think I can agree with the following: " If we cannot convince you by reason nor by the word of God that your religion is wrong, we will not persecute you, but will sustain you in the privileges, guaranteed in the Great Charter of American Liberty; we ask from you the generosity - protect us in the exercises of our religious rights - convince us of our errors of doctrine, if we have any, by reason, by logical arguments. or by the word of God, and we will ever be grateful for the information, and you will ever have the pleasing reflection that you have been instruments in the hands of God of redeeming your fellow beings from the darkness which you may see enveloping their minds." - Orson Pratt, Th e Seer, p. 15-16 The Bible says: Gal 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Someone else put it this way: "If I should hear a man advocate the erroneous principles he had imbibed through education, and oppose those principles, some might imagine that I opposed to that man, when I am opposed to every evil and erroneous principle he advances." - Brigham Young, - Journal of Discourses 7:191 You are always looking for "common ground" I think I can agree with the following: " If we cannot convince you by reason nor by the word of God that your religion is wrong, we will not persecute you, but will sustain you in the privileges, guaranteed in the Great Charter of American Liberty; we ask from you the generosity - protect us in the exercises of our religious rights - convince us of our errors of doctrine, if we have any, by reason, by logical arguments. or by the word of God, and we will ever be grateful for the information, and you will ever have the pleasing reflection that you have been instruments in the hands of God of redeeming your fellow beings from the darkness which you may see enveloping their minds." - Orson Pratt, The Seer, p. 15-16 The Bible says: Gal 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Well, if there are no fundies on this site, there should be no angst at my comments. So , we are all at peace with one another and all is well. As a father, I will do all possible to prevent my children from adopting the attitudes of exclusiveness and judgmentalism that is so prevelant in the conservative/fundy community - a community, by the way, of which I am a member. AND, I have no intention of ever actually leaving that community. I can do much for the cause of Christ by remaining in the community that has been a life-time trying to get me gone. I ain't leaving. I fully intend on making as many ambassadors for Christ as possible. Christ prayed for unity ... his very last words .. and I intend on doing what I can to make that happen.

Re: [TruthTalk] ***************Respose - ModeratorcommentADHOM*************
There is not a single good accomplished by calling names, true or untrue. Rules of debate simply do not entertain the notion that an ad hom is always a lie. That is a misrepresentation of "ad hom." It can be something very true but off subject. A person makes a statement and the accepted response is to attack the person -- whether true or notand the issue gets lost in the dust "yes you are" and "no you're not."

Truth is not a shell game unless one is a Spiritual Huckster then it can be a tool for fooling the masses There are plenty of them out there! "Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost' if the Son was begotten by the Holy Ghost, it would be very dangerous to baptize and confirm females, and give the Holy Ghost to them, lest he should beget children to be palmed upon the elders by the people, bringing the elders into great difficulties.'" - Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v.1, p.51Lance Muir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: So who has the truth?- Original Message -From:KevinDeeganTo: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: March 09, 2006 08:49 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Addendum to'snakes anyone'?

That wasn't not done out of respect. DAVEH: Hmm...Do you have any respect for Mormons, Dean? Sure sounded like a set up to me? You agree DaveH? DAVEH: Hmmm again.Sounds like something he learned from SPers. Would a Mormon High Priest do such? DAVEH: None that I know would do such. Hmmm a third time..Perhaps he was a SPer claiming to be MHP. If he was indeed a true Mormon, I believe his actions were inappropriate, and I will apologize to you in his behalf. However, I dislike drawing conclusions without hearing the his side of the story. Dave you need to learn to separate the Moderator "Judge More" from Dean Moore. DAVEH: That's a mistake I've seen other moderators use as an excuse for improper behavior. Do you believe that separating Judge Dean from Judge More absolves you from responsible behavior? If Judge Dean posts an ad-hom, would not be reasonable to expect Judge More admonish him? If not, then would Judge More be practicing a double standard? Perhaps I do have trouble separating the Moderator "Judge More" from Dean Moore.when I hear you say something to the effect..

If you wish to refuse to apologize for making that ad-hom remark, and if Judge Moore does not call you on the carpet for posting blatant ad-homs, then would Judge Moore be justified in giving me the boot if I merely referred to Judge Dean's ___(fill in the blank) practices? Your take no prisoners comment seems to imply TT is not big enough for both of us, Judge Dean.

I do not complain about you DAVEH: From Dean's previous comment.I guess I will Get DavH off you back... it seemed as though the Judge was implying you were bothered by my presence on TT. If that is not the case, I appreciate the clarification. You have no problem with the draconian rules of your leaders? DAVEH: Do you have any problems with the draconian rules of the Bible, Kevin?

[TruthTalk] Fw: Prayer Update: Shankar
- Original Message - From: "John D Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: March 09, 2006 10:54 Subject: Prayer Update: Shankar Greetings from Singapore. Today I met with Shankar--the Taoist I met in Singapore a year ago. His mother came from Japan and his father from India, and he chose to follow Taoism. But he is a seeker. We did not have much time together to talk privately, but at least our friendship was strengthened. He knows about our work from my colleague here, Dave Enns, and he is amazed at the stories he has heard about the work in Papua. Today he also met with Art and Carol Clark who just flew in from Papua, and heard them telling me what some of the Yali children are doing today--men and women we knew as little "stone age" children, now serving the Lord in various ways and one who has become a chauffeur-driven government official! It was an opportunity to tell him simply about God's call on my life and how God has led me and enabled Gloria and me all these years. I don't know when or if I will see him again, but Shankar is conscious that there is some miraculous power which brought him to be here (with unlikely parents--one from Japan and one from India); how he met Dave Enns "by chance" while walking in a jungle preserve in Singapore; and how he then met me in Dave and Phyliss's home. He told Dave that he thought I was a kindred spirit, and he wants to stay in touch, which we will continue to do by e-mail. So here is another "chance encounter" of a divine kind which we will follow up with Divine leading and enabling. John <>

Who are you to judge whether I am “genuine” when I say I’m not sure what your friend meant when she told a woman that Christ would redeem her “personhood”? Are you calling me a liar?

My journey out has been interesting: First of all a one and a half hour delay in Toronto due to an ice and snow storm on the eastern seaboard. When I arrived in New York, I had to transfer from Le Guardia to JFK airport and my cab driver was a Christian, had something about Jesus loves you in the cab, so I opened a conversation and we had a great time of sharing, wishing each other Gods blessing as he dropped me off at the terminal for South African Airways. Then in New York our departure was delayed two hours because of back-logged flights and waiting our turn for de-icing. More than 20 hours later I arrived in Johannesberg via Senegal. The heavy rain was almost horizontal; the radar auto landing facility wasnt working so each flight was brought in manually, but we touched down safely. After a 20 minute wait at the gate for a bridge operator to show up, we finally disembarked and waited 50 minutes for our luggage. A missed connection meant going for the next flight to Durban which in turn was delayed by almost 1½ hours and I reached Durban at midnight. Jonathan was there to meet me and drive me the remaining hour to his home. A friend of Traceys called Natalie was staying the weekend with them. She had to be in Durban on Monday so offered to save Jonathan the round trip and drove me there for my flight to Singapore. She had grown up in a Christian home, gone to Bible school and then turned away from the Lord. During the weekend, I sensed she wanted to talk to me alone. She had been intrigued by Jonathans and my stories from Papua, and asked a lot about missionaries and culturethe usual stuff about imposing our beliefs and westernism on unsuspecting natives. But her tone changed. On the way to Durban she opened the door for me to talk to her about the gospel in a more personal way. She told me early in our 1 hour drive that, she had been brought up in a Christian home but had questioned her beliefs and reached the point where she wasnt sure whether she had totally rejected Christianity or was in middle ground. I suggested that what she had rejected was churchianity and not Christ. This really opened the conversation, and I was able to talk about what Christ and the gospel means to me and my everyday life. It seems this was the kind of thing she had been longing to hear, but had she only been hearing the trust Jesus now and go to heaven later, and dont go to hell (like we heard on Sunday); but no one was making it relevant to daily living. She said the church is always talking about what you have to do, but not about beingabout who you are and how you can be a complete person. She said she never felt the church was interest

I don't mind funnin' even at my expense. Why would I as I've done so often, often myself. However, shall I ask of you, Iz, whether you believe the Appalachian snake handlers to be testing God or, obeying His Word? I note that upon raising an actual matter (HS & tongues) everyone fled to the hills. We all know that none of you has access, through the Word of God, to THE understanding on ALL issues. Does anyone of you brash souls wish to differ on this point? As our beloved moderator has said ...Hm...what has he actually said in the last 24 hours consistent with a week ago? Any takers? - Original Message - From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: March 07, 2006 20:06Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Addendum to 'snakes anyone'?
