Re: [TruthTalk] David Miller on TFTorrance'sThe Mediation of Christ
You've come to see the impact that this man has on some of us.Please submit your reflections on this book. Issues involving text and interpretation could then be addressed as well as the nature, distinctives and content of Trinitarian thought. I for one would not like to see Bill Taylor leave TT. This conversation would certainly "cause" him to stay around. If you've not finished it then, we'll all begin at the beginning and work our way through ittogether. Blessings, Lance

Having your ideas printed out does not, in my opinion, make one an authority any more than being the Pope makes you perfect. I doubt that Bill would stay around just to join a book club anyway. He seems to get his feathers ruffled too easily when people question the things he says, and I guarantee you people on here are going to question everything said by everyone. This has been for me a great place to learn, but for one who wants to be accepted as a teacher, my advice is too put on your shin guards and pucker up, 'cause you are going to get kicked on a regular basis. You can't hang with this bunch without taking your licks. How in the world can you be kind to people like Chris and Daniel? If they were just loud and ignorant, that would be one thing, but these people are influencing others, even little children. Same with the Mormons. Nice guys. Probably would make great neighbors, but they are confused enough about God to spend eternity in Hell. Maybe, just maybe, Bill could say something some day that would cause any of these guys to see the light if he hung around and swallowed his pride. If he doesn't teach them a thing, I am sure that in the process. all of us would be strengthened in what we believe. Lord knows that I am woefully ignorant in many areas and could learn much from anyone on this list on how to or how not to (fill in the blank), but just because someone says something, I am not going to accept it without discussion. That is why I don't pay a lot of attention to preachers or authors, or those who aren't eager to say why they think what they think. So if Bill would be willing to stay around for our benefit, that would be great, but if we all have to change to accomodate his mild paranoia, then it is probably better that he go. Blessings, Terry

Re: [TruthTalk] David Miller on TFTorrance'sThe Mediation of Christ
Apparently I have missed something in the last few hours -- don't know how -- but I am concerned. Bill Taylor leaving the group??? Someone include the post I missed (from him ?). It is 6:20 am here -- I will hold off leaving this morning --- hopefully someone will fill me in.

Re: [TruthTalk] David Miller on TFTorrance'sThe Mediation of Christ
Terry: 'twas not a post for you, sorry. I should have sent it privately to David. I also unwittingly violated a private post from Bill. Glad to know that you count yourself among the species that eat their own. The level of acrimony on TT does not rise above that which I encounter in our store however. My shin guards affixed I await more of TC.

Dorry Lance. I did not know this was personal. Just wanted to point out that when iron sharpens iron, you have to expect sparks. Terry Lance Muir wrote: Terry: 'twas not a post for you, sorry.
