Oh, good—you didn’t say “dreariness” as I expected.  (JD is the only pompous one.  Lance just tries to be.)

Right after the laughter, I read the list again and was overcome with a tidal wave of affection--a sense of the utter dearness of all of the people mentioned below (and that isn't intended to exclude TTers not mentioned). I wondered if that is how God sees us: a little ridiculous and rather pompous, but oh so dear. I believe so.   Humbled and joyful Debbie  ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 2:36 PM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Narrow Way Not Loving   That’s odd—I never received this post of Judy’s referenced below.  Wondering what else hasn’t arrived here.  (PS  G is just “smoke”, of the Left Coast variety.  And Lance doesn’t really exist except in old movies.)

I mean it. They are delicious and so quotable. I cracked up reading them, especially the ones about Lance and G. It's good to see ourselves through the eyes of another. We are a pretty ridiculous bunch!   Debbie  ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 1:42 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Narrow Way Not Loving   Just pondering some of these different teachings ..... JD, you write:   Kruger is not into universalism - and you do not understand his teachings, - I know he does not deal with sin.  JD much less mine or - You don't either JD, you are into the "greater context" to which image all scripture must be wrested. Bill's or - Bill has a foundation in Calvinism upon which is built the "incarnation" error  which saves the whole world. Lance's.or - Who knows what Lance's teaching is since he mainly quotes from old movies. Deb or - Deb sounds more philosophical than anything, and we are warned about vain philosophies. Caroline or - A lapsed Baptist who is now embracing Universalism and the "greater context" G or - Who knows what "G" is about other than smoke and mirrors. Jonathan.- Jonathan takes up an offence over orthodoxy, picks up his ball and goes home.  I don't think you understand Miller's -  I accept him as a brother and am blessed by what he writes. Izzy - Why did you leave Izzy off your list JD? I am also regularly blessed by what Sister Izzy posts Terry - Why isn't Terry on the list - some of his observations are priceless... Me - You simply believe what you want to believe and nothing will change that - I prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. I suspect that you understand even less of Torrance - I know enough to know I don't want to know any more. I am certain that Barth is someone you have never read or studied - What would make me want to?  preferring your own brand of theological understanding over others - Excuse me JD - At the end when I am judged by Jesus Words (John 12:48) I will stand or fall upon what I alone accept or reject and that's just the way it is JD - there will be no pastor or self styled theologian standing beside me to hold me up so I determine to hear and obey the one who counts..     judyt
