I'll neither wish nor hope for snow as I understand that it's absence is work therefore, money.

Sounds good to me, Lance, but if you want it "readable," you'll have to wait for a snow day -- hopefully soon! -- as I am slappin' blicks until then.   Bill    ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 6:05 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Two Covenants? The 'liar' responds:Rather than ask you to demonstrate wherein lies the lie; I'd like to ask our 'prodigal brother' to compose a readable, relatively concise outline of the Gospel as he has come to experience/speak of Him (never IT). Why Bill? I know him. He MAY be the better theologian/exegete/writer on TT. We might, based on that framework be in a position to put into practice what Bill has rightly called us to.   So Bill, what say ye?   Lance the negligible ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 19, 2004 06:48 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Two Covenants?

She was rolling on the floor, so to speak.   I was afraid I would return this morning to the disappearance/banning/crucifixion of Jonathan Hughes. Jonathan... you're still here, right?   I do not believe swear words are a matter of holiness (I have the same view of cigarettes smoking as well). I also do not see the very occasional use of swear words as an issue of rebuke or spanking from the moderator... especially when I can understand what preempted the post.   I hope you all read Jonathan's post and I hope it sank in. He has some real concerns regarding TruthTalk and this is why it has the nicknames TrashTalk and TwistTruth. When Scripture warns us to guard our tongues, I do not believe the passage specifically refers to the use of expletives; I think the passage specifically speak about the use of the tongue to tear down and destroy... exactly what Jonathan is complaining of. Let me quote Jonathan (who, in my opinion, gives three examples of unclean speech)... shallow, sarcastic replies designed to tear others down logic bullying tactics compares other people's [posts] as dogs**t and myth Our loved Bill Taylor spoke wisdom in his return address and what he said is true. We need to be building THE kingdom, not using the wreckage to construct our own.   -- slade (dare I say... as moderator?) =================================================== After careful thought, there is no question that I could have chozen a better term to describe Lance;s comment than to call it dog doo doo.  >From now on, when I read a lie on this list,  I will simply call it a lie.  I trust that I am still allowed to give an honest opinion in spite of the politically correct attitude of the Canadians?   Terry
