[TruthTalk] The door to understanding

[Judy Taylor]

I'm sure it does David. They always have a waiting list so are pretty strict about attendance and they will drop ppl who miss too many meetings. When I had to go to Australia I could look in their book and find meetings over there to attend. Same with every State in the Union and since everyone has the same lesson on the same week - it works.  To complete the whole series takes 7 years.  I am in my 4th year.   From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have never attended BSF and did not even know what it was until Judy and John talked about it.  I don't even know if it exists around here in my community.   David Miller.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 6:16 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The door to understanding     Bible Study Fellowship.

Wonder what they will say !!   It will describe a person I am dealing with who believes the following:   1.  Adam and Eve were spirit beings before the fall -- their flesh being changed afterwards.   2.  Christ is not the "eternal " Son of God.   3.  Christ was of human flesh for only 3 1/2 years.   4.  Christ was not the physical descendent of David -  only in some spiritual sense.   5.  Christ was not "God on earth" during His ministry.   6.  The "Trinity" is false doctrine.   7.  God is male and has a penis.   8.  God illuminates His disciples to the extent that discussion and books are not necessary.  Because of this "illumination,"  the understanding of acripture can be "received" from the Spirit without fear of being wrong. Those who have this Spirit cannot be mistaken when it comes to the Bible and what it means to say.    And those who disagree with this are false teachers and need to be opposed.   9.  The old law is binding and continues to be something we must obey.     I would add to this list  --  but I am sure this will be sufficent . Dean, you and Judy are the very definition of  "cult!!"   but nice try.  And what do you want to bet that BSF will not agree?   By the way  -  you are the one who has set the tone for this response. This is the fruit of your ministry.   Accusing me of preaching the occult is not going to fly.   jd                       l message -------------- From: Judy Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   .Amen Dean, JD I figure you were thinking of Proverbs 11:14b when you wrote what you say below ie: "in the multitude of counsellors there is safety"  However the "counsellors" referred to in Proverbs ARE those of God's Word or the Biblical text as you call it.  They all say the same thing by the same Spirit and this is the counsel in which we find safety.  Groupthink??  Anathema!!   On Tue, 14 Feb 2006 07:02:15 -0500 "Dean Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: cd: A very good definition of the birth of a cult John. No one truth to live by but group thinking-No standards to point our error if the group agrees with the present circumstance-I can see why your group don't like preaching such as David does-the one is dominated by the many as his voice is lost in the power of the mass.   JD writes: In the biblical concept of the church I see an avenue for  continuing revelation, and if not revelation, certainly interpretation or understanding.   If you will, it is in the counsel of many that our understanding of the biblical text is expanded and/or confirmed.     How important, it is, then,  that the church continue to meet in forums such as this  --  whether virtual or physical.   A community of Being reveals Himself to a community of Believers and it is out of this communal reality that our understanding of God and His t houghts is borne.   jd   ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."  (Colossians 4:6) http://www.InnGlory.org   If you do not want to receive posts from this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be subscribed.
