Is this a trick question, Deegan? After John
connecting you with demons in his computer, I find myself somewhat cautious in
responding to such as yourself.

Lance,
I, for one, have no difficulty at all
criticizing the'deceived' as you put it, Judy. The difficulty is that some
who are, in reality deceived, believe themselves to be 'in the truth' do
they not?

Meaning that all evangelism and preaching the
gospel should cease because we can not be
critical of anyones beliefs because this is
criticizing them personally?? IOW let the deceived
stay captive to the devil. Lord forbid that
we should offend anyone. Is Jesus a stumbling stone
and a rock of offense ... or has he now become
fashionable in his new "living" form?
You really don't get it do
you? If I were to criticize your beliefs then, I am criticizing your
person
OK so we should not criticize beliefs.
But criticizing the person is OK in your
book
Good ol Self Refutin Lance...
Kevin, this so-called anti-Mormon
kick you're on seems to be about all you've got goin' for
ya..

No you wouldn't be because you don't
know my person. What you are talking about is religious/racial
bigotry
which is a misnomer. It is possible
to love the person and reject their belief. God did it when he
sent Jesus
Jesus did it when he hung on the
cross - and we can do it as His Ambassadors in a world full of sin and
strife.
You really don't get it do you? If I were to
criticize your beliefs then, I am criticizing your person and, vice
versa. Kevin et al do the same with the Mormons.
I've asked you previously. I shall ask you once
again. Is there a great gulf between who you are and what you say
(believe)?
Now if you had said Joseph Smith
& Brigham Young your observation may have carried some
weight
Lance. However, I've yet to
see Kevin comment on Blaine or DaveH personally, it's their
false belief system he
takes issue with and in doing this he
confronts them with their own
contradictions.
OR YOUR OPINIONS OF BLAINE & DAVEH THAT'S
CALLED ANTI MORMONISM!! Come to think of it, Kevin,
this so-called anti-Mormon kick you're on
seems to be about all you've got goin' for ya..
This list is called Truth Talk Lance.
It is not all about your opinions or me.
OR Lance's opinions OF you and others!

Lance. It is not all about your opinions

Let me attempt something, Judy. WITH
WHAT FREQUENCY THEN, DO YOU EXHIBIT THIS 'TRUE
HIMILITY'?
True humility Lance is saying
what God says about a situation or subject; personal
opinion, even
while grovelling while saying
it is inverted pride. When a preacher gets out
there with a megaphone
and accurately speaks the
oracles of God .. that is true humility. Or of one
speaks them to a friend in
private - this is also laying
down their own life. Because God's Word is that
around which the battle
rages.
There are two on TT who regularly
write reflecting humility. I'm suspect of one of them
but, that's because I don't,
perhaps.
I
see. Is this then the sin of the parents, or
the world, or the parson with low esteem? How
would this condition add to or subtract from one's
ability to do what Jesus suggests in the sermon on
the mount? I am too lazy to look it up but it
seems to me that He came to town meek and lowly,
riding on a colt. Possibly as an example to
us? To be quite honest, I do not see low esteem
as a problem on TT. Do
you? Terry

Self rejection
happens when children are either rejected by
parents or have overly critical parents.
When
one is raised in an
unloving atmosphere they tend to accept the lie
that this is because they are unlovable
making
it difficult to
understand or receive the love of
God.
The world adds to the
problem with unrealistic standards especially in
the area of perfection and body image -
thinness for women and Gk
perfection for men and too many times this becomes
a graven image or idol and
people reject themselves
when they don't measure up rather than giving
thanks for being
fearfully and wonderfully
made.
Could you explain what you mean by self
rejection?

Hi Terry,
I don't know that any
of us would say that they are "self satisfied"
in fact not even Paul himself said
that.
What he did say is that
he didn't know of any sin but that did not mean
he was justified completely before
the Lord. I would
say the same. At this point in my walk I
see self rejection just as sinful as the
ignorance
that comes with
pride... either way it is all self, self, self,
self. judyt
