Now Bill, let's not rush to judgment here. You
have me convicted and sentenced while the jury is still out.
Are you certain that what I describe below is not you?
Can you prove that you don't believe these things and have never promoted them on this list? Let's take
care of these questions before we worry about whether I am ready to repent. You may be the one needing to repent for
accusing the brethren.

thrilled if you are. Bill
To the contrary, Judy, I have no problem
believing that the names of those who do not reject the Christ will remain
unblotted from the Lambs Book of Life. How about if you let me and the
triad articulate our own beliefs. When you feel compelled to smear us with caricatures and
misrepresentations, just think of how you like it when others do
that to you. Then if you want to go ahead and do it, then go ahead and do
it. You don't bother me so much anymore; I'll still forgive you.
Your friend, Bill
jt: Very dramatic
Bill. But please tell me in what way I have smeared,
misrepresented and caricatured you? BTW you are included in the
triad along with Lance, and Jonathan. Before you forgive me
please tell me what I have done wrong. Don't you believe that all mankind
is included in the incarnation which makes them all headed for heaven
whether or not they overcome anything and weren't you writing about the
perils of enlightenment thinking and how it keeps one from being able to
understand scripture? If you don't believe these things then at
least give me the opportunity to repent.. judyt

be what God says even if it does conflict with your ontological
model.
Unscriptural John. -----
I would not have so written if it were
unscriptural, JudyT. You might refer to Kay's interpretation
of my interpretation of some of Paul's interpretation of
Christ;s - oh, never mind !!!!!

jt: Oh, I see. We are back to this is
just my interpretation and I can't know anything because of my
"enlightenment thinking?" Please yourself John.
It's your future. I knew you (and the triad)
wouldn't want "overcoming" on the front burner since the theological
theories are so much easier.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ jt: Unscriptural John. How did he get born saved
since everyone is born into a "fallen creation" (sin) in the first Adam.
The scriptures teach that God saw us in Christ before the foundation of
the world (Eph 1:4) and everyone's name was written in the Lamb's Book
of Life at the beginning because Jesus was the lamb slain before the
foundation of the world. However, this does not negate the fall nor does
it insure salvation unless one keeps their name from being blotted
out. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Is an eternal truth So
rather than get so tangled up with saved, not saved, saved, not saved.
Wouldn't we be wiser to learn what God call's sin and stop doing
it? John:
Interesting scripture, Judy. Our names are in that book from
the beginning. Wow. I had forgotten this
passage. Do you see God erasing some of these names? I
don't.
jt: Yes I do, only
the ones who overcome make it. Moses was aware that one could be
blotted out (Exodus 32:32) and so was David (Ps 69:28). Jesus Himself
says of the one who "overcomes" - I will not erase his name from the
book of life (Rev 3:5).
So, the really important thing is not the book of
life but the Divine Eraser. Interesting teaching.
Unscriptural John.
