Hey even Christ did the "Culture on the Mount" MT 5
Christ did not come to change the culture, or Carry a cross.
He came to die on the cross.
That is the place that I was redeemed

If one notes the fuller definition of 'liar', Judy, one can't fail to identify such on TT. Bearing in mind what I just said, that might (I say 'might') even include you. What then?God, IMO, is comfortable with you being a cultural luddite so relax on the 'entertainment' front.----- Original Message -----From: Judy TaylorSent: June 09, 2005 05:47Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Re:Wherein does the 'Truth' reside??????Why of course Lance, these are the ppl who are epistemologically the same as you, so why not?On another note. Yesterday there was an interview with the late Ann Bancroft in our local paper and when asked to explain her ability to play such diverse roles, she told the Virginian-Pilot in 2001 "To be an actress, you have to be a liar" - so there you are. Why waste God's time watching and quoting 'good liars?'On Thu, 9 Jun 2005 04:26:09 -0400 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:Within the 'Three-Personed God'.

You do, we don't.The Holy Spirit leads us into ALL Truth.Your doctrines are repugnantYou are the personification of them and therefore have not come to a settling of what is and what aint!The Bible decides upon a Truth, we align ourselves to it. You align to your own ideas.You have no final authority, other than yourself.Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts

With that door closed, we are shut off from amending our point of view. We stop growing and declare to all who will listen, "I have arrived by the grace of God, of course." On the occasion that we institutionalize the matter, we close the door for re-examination to all others -- a kind of excathedra statement. The evangelical church has done this with her doctrine of "inspiration." It has so formalized the teaching as to make it even dangerous to openingly disuss other possiblities to "verbal and plenary." A disciple, new to the faith of the Evangelicals, must quickly learn what can be questioned and what cannot if he/she is to remain within the fellowship. Perhaps this is true in the high church as well -- I do not know.JD

JD Paul is surely NOT against knowing but knowing that is finalSo you say.Then I can never really know if what you are saying even now is true.Why are you always looking to talk people out of knowing the truth?Do you want them to end up like you, questioning everything?Or so you can then become the one (the authority) to point them in to the way right behind you?Prov 22 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto theeMaybe that is why you struggle with addictions.JN 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Perhaps our doctrinal statements should not be "as if written n stone.' But reflective of the growth that will begin again with the start of a new day.We would do less fighting and more growing.That is what I Cor 8:1-3 is saying, ---- is it not? Paul is surely NOT against knowing but knowing that is final, a closed systems of knowledge.Jd__________________________________________________
