Bill,
My fellowship is with God's Word and those who love Him
and tremble at His Word. I have no frame of reference for Polyani, Newbegin,
and the psychiatrists/psychologists along with the mountains
of religious folk who lived in times past. The world has no wisdom
that is worth anything so far as God is concerned and I don't see any
Overcoming Church that has been passed on to our generation, so why repeatedly
go over and over their mistakes? It's a new day. God mercies
are new every morning. So why not learn from Him and give His Word the
respect it is due? The flesh profits nothing.

Newbigin must be an unbeliever also because the mind is not the home of
faith.
Oh really? Is this all it takes to send someone to
hell? Well then brace yourself!
Judy, Why are you so quick to judge? Do you want to
be judged so hastily? How about if I say you're going to hell because you jumped
in the middle of something you did not understand? Would that be right of me? Is
that not what you did to Newbigin? You called him an unbeliever because he did
not understand the place of faith. Worse yet, you did this before even trying to
understand him yourself. You did this before trying to grasp what he was
saying, before even asking me for clarification. Are you willing to conclude,
therefore, just as hastily that you are an unbeliever? Be careful, lest you send
yourself to hell!
I began my post to
John with these words: "I suppose you
got the point of Newbigin -- He was criticizing
the dualisms present in the scientific model and not endorsing them." I
then went on to show the fallacy of those dualisms: "Faith is
inferior to knowledge only if there is indeed a gap
between the mind (the home of faith [a charge originating in Enlightenment
mentality*]) and the real world (the object of
study, the place where certainty dwells [a charge originating in
Enlightenment mentality*]).
*You would have known this if you would have read
the same quote that John was referencing.
And you both would have known this if you had been
following my posts on Polanyi's understanding of knowledge.
There is no need to respond to this, Judy. You bring this stuff on
yourself. You don't need to discuss it with me. This is between you and the
Lord. He will help you see that the discussion you need to have is
with your own mind, not mine, not Newbigin's -- your own. Judy, this
is sin; you need to repent.
