How so JD? Since there is no relationship with the Truth
outside of His Word?
The Truth Himself says: "If a man love me he will keep my
words and my Father will love him and we will
come into him and make our abode with him" - Since you and Lance can't be
sure what His Word is then
how can you keep it? jt

You had implied in the past that you & yours are the only ones capable of inteligent discussion. Was that the OLD JD?

If you are saying that we are to be like Him, conformed to His image -- I say "duh !!!!!"It appears, howeer that we have regressed into monologue.JdI'm talking about Truth and what the PCA have done via the Shorter Catechism is what doctrines of menare doing constantly - you included JD. Since His works were done before the foundation of the world andit is written that we are predestined to be conformed to the "image of Christ" then it follows that this should be the 'chief end of man' doesn't it? - That is if God's Word means anything to us at all .... and this has everything to do with relationship with Christ = jtOn Wed, 08 Jun 2005 21:56:45 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:I am talking about a realtionship with Christ and you are talking about what?

Interesting JD,I've been attending an introductory class at the church we have been attending which is PCA. They identify with the Reformation and they like the Shorter Catechism. I can't figure out why the first point in the Catechism does not say that the chief end of man is to be conformed to the image of Christ - after all this is what we have been predestined for and they believe in predestination.

If we define new birth as a putting on of Christ, emphasis on a relationship, then we might suppose that the resulting validation marking the difference between vacillation and growth is the benefit can see in the occurring changes. If I am a better person, growth has occurred. If I have become more distasteful, something is wrong with the relationship. After all, that is the way relationships work. Soooo, "truth" can be said to exist IN THE BELIEVER if that believer becomes more and more like Christ.JD
