Re: [TruthTalk] Greek Present Indicative

Addendum:"Christian theology is more immediately a practical than a speculative discipline, and such speculation as it harbors stands ultimately in the service of right worship, right confession of Christ, and right living. Right practice demands, of course, critical and constructive reflection, and the best Christian theology takes place in the interplay between reflection and practice." ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 19, 2006 05:50 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Greek Present Indicative DAVID:We await your response to the specific post re:DM/SIN Was it not you who made the christology/sin  along with the ideaological/pragmatic distinction?   DAVID:It may be that not unlike the cast in 'Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room'  that though your Greek grammar,  logic,  vocabulary aand your grooming (?) are impeccable, IFF you, along with the rest of humanity, ACTUALLY DO SIN IN THOUGHT/WORD/DEED DAILY then, you are simply wrong for the 'right' reasons.
