Dave,
  I notice that you often answer a question with another question. If you 
don't want to answer it, just say so.

  It is a direct question with a yes or no answer. But, if you have no 
answer that is okay, just say so. Here is my planned responses should you 
choose to answer the question:

  1) if you say yes then I will ask you why you did not retain any of 
your godly powers, as jesus did, when you cam to earth and why you have to 
work to become a god all over again.

  2) if you say no, then I will ask you why your brother jesus got to be 
a god before he became a man, but you didn't.

  Again, if you do not want to answer, just say so. I am just trying to 
figure out the statement you made that jesus was a god before coming to 
earth, and whether you were or were not, and why that is.

Perry

DAVEH: I've got no problem answering somebody who really wants to
know, Perry. I just question your motives. Why do you want to know?
It seems obvious that you don't particularly care to know what I
believe, since you think my beliefs are in error and have proclaimed
your desire to prove it false. Like Kevin, you seem more intent on
belittling my faith than in participating in a viable exchange. If I
answer your below question, you will merely ask another, and perhaps
another after that, in effect causing me to teach Mormonism.is
that what you really want???

 If you persist in insisting that I am deceptive about my reasons
for joining TT, then I do find it strange that you would expect me to
answer your questions using my LDS rooted beliefs.

JD: It all goes back to thisgrowth thing. You

Maybe. But, if that is a universal truth of some sort, why is it not a statement

that I quote scripture, here? I read "carnal -- babes" in 
I Co 3:1 and know that I must, as a student of scripture, accept the

jt: Scripture teaches growing

We are told to stop it. If someone is in the habit of stealing, or 
working as a prostitute, they don't grow out of it. We have to stop 
participating in behavior that is killing us. 

If we are growing into godliness, we are 
growing out of ungodliness. 

jt: No JD, we don't grow out of sin. 
We reckon it so by faith; we reckonour old man dead to sin and alive

The Bishop’s Storehouse is similar to a small-town market, except that church volunteers with clipboards accompany nonpaying customers through the shelves as they fill orders for food and supplies made by Mormon bishops on their behalf. 
The complex is mostly used by Mormon Church members, but bishops may refer anyone who lives within their geographic area for assistance. 
Apparently one needs a Temple Recommend to recieve aid and generosity from the LDS Church

There! Right there. That's what I mean. "Stop your bickering little girl, you're too simple to know if I am being genuine with you or not." 

JD, I'm not trying to change the subject, I'm justgetting frustrated when I present ideas to you respectfully, and you respond to my questions with something like, "What do youthink I meant when I said that?" Wouldn't that comment implythat you think I asked astupid question? Perhaps itwas a little young of menot to know what you meant there, I don't know. But therespect is not reciprocal, and I have provoked none of this. 

The reason I raise this issue instead of just not replying to your posts, is because I would really like both ofus on this board to interact productively. Our presencehere shouldbe fruitful. But if you continue to condescend to me in your heart, then I don't wish to discuss things with you, because there is nothing I can do thento communicate effectively with you. I feel as though you're putting on a charade: you don't weigh my ideas for any truth, you jump to sarcastic remarks.. JD, I do consider what you write, even if I don't end up agreeing with you, I will flip to Mat. 7 and see if that verse applies to a larger audiance than the hypocrites, and I stopped to think if we were all hypocrites, and so still applied to us. But you don't, JD. You just fire back defenses and rebuttals. 

Am I still misreading you? I really didn't wish to dwell on this, but if we don't approach one another with a proper attitude, how can we communicate effectively? Perhaps I will becomesarcastic and defensive after becoming along-time member of TT, but right now I am still new and still hopeful ofseeing some good discussions.

I think both examples of knowledge are directly
related. When the OT prohets warned an unrighteous
Israel, they knew the mind of God to tell the
Israelites that they were in big spiritual trouble. In
Amos 5:18, he says, "Woe to you that desire the Day of
the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the
LORD is darkness, and not light." He is telling the
people of Israel that the Day of the Lord will be a
day of justice and judgement, two things the
Israelites do not want to encounter, since they
practice evil. He was telling them that they were not
saved.There is nothing revelatory in Deegan's judgment, or yours

Equally, we are granted access to the mind of God when
we act as ambassadors, because we must not portray Him
as someone He is not. We must be able to discern what

I can also tell you, that I needed God more than ever I needed him
before. When I had to go to view her, I was in very much in need, prayed
fervently and told God he HAD to help me. I did not pray could you
help. I grabbed on to the promise and He answered my cry. Hb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace

I can tell you God's promises are true!











I did not want to look at her in a casket. Talk about

The first really wild SP event I preached at was kinda scary, (never done this

Can you tell me why the lectures taught there are ONLY 2 Personages in the Godhead?
Why God is a personage of SPIRIT not a tabernacle or BODY?
If Jesusbecame a god before he became a man, How did he BECOME a god?

As far as Jesus being a god before being a man
How did he become a god?
What of his Mortal probation and learning to progress?

I do not follow what you ask  state in the rest of the post.

There! Right there. That's what I mean. "Stop your bickering little girl, you're too simple to know if I am being genuine with you or not." 

JD, I'm not trying to change the subject, I'm justgetting frustrated when I present ideas to you respectfully, and you respond to my questions with something like, "What do youthink I meant when I said that?" Wouldn't that comment implythat you think I asked astupid question? Perhaps itwas a little young of menot to know what you meant there, I don't know. But therespect is not reciprocal, and I have provoked none of this. 

The reason I raise this issue instead of just not replying to your posts, is because I would really like both ofus on this board to interact productively. Our presencehere shouldbe fruitful. But if you continue to condescend to me in your heart, then I don't wish to discuss things with you, because there is nothing I can do thento communicate effectively with you. I feel as though you're putting on a charade: you don't weigh my ideas for any truth, you jump to sarcastic remarks... JD, I do consider what you write, even if I don't end up agreeing with you, I will flip to Mat. 7 and see if that verse applies to a larger audiance than the hypocrites, and I stopped to think if we were all hypocrites, and so still applied to us. But you don't, JD. You just fire back defenses and rebuttals. 

Am I still misreading you? I really didn't wish to dwell on this, but if we don't approach one another with a proper attitude, how can we communicate effectively? Perhaps I will becomesarcastic and defensive after becoming along-time member of TT, but right now I am still new and still hopeful ofseeing some good discussions.

I think both examples of knowledge are directly
related. When the OT prohets warned an unrighteous
Israel, they knew the mind of God to tell the
Israelites that they were in big spiritual trouble. In
Amos 5:18, he says, "Woe to you that desire the Day of
the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the
LORD is darkness, and not light." He is telling the
people of Israel that the Day of the Lord will be a
day of justice and judgement, two things the
Israelites do not want to encounter, since they
practice evil. He was telling them that they were not
saved.There is nothing revelatory in Deegan's judgment, or yours

Equally, we are granted access to the mind of God when
we act as ambassadors, because we must not portray Him
as someone He is not. We must be able to discern what

I don't mind talking about it but I hesitate because it makes people uneasy. I think they are afraid to say the wrong thing, or just uncomfortable with death?



There was only one thing that I knew during this time. THIS I don't know anything BUT that, God knows what He is doing. I may not understand but I do understand that He knows.



I can also tell you, that I needed God more than ever I needed him before. When I had to go to view her, I was in very much in need, prayed fervently and told God he HAD to help me. I did not pray "could you help". I grabbed on to the promise and He answered my cry. Hb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

I can tell you God's promises are true!



I did not want to look at her in a casket. Talk about power,He gave me power to overcome,He gave meperfect peace! The first really wild SP event I preached at was kinda scary, (never done this before) The event passed and it was like a spiritual hurricane, but God put us in a space that was like a buble of peace. That is what it seemed like to me at the time. After the Funeral, some friends called to give me scriptures and a couple gave me the Psalms that talk of the shadow of His wings, and it hit me like a ton of bricks, that was the bubble I had been there before!His mercies NEVER fail!

PS 18:6- In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, ... He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

 little while, and have decided finally to hop in.

 Caroline, I have a question: After all this discussion
 of God's anger and love, it would stand to reason that
 either you do not know God's personality, or the SP's
 do not know God's personality.

 This question makes the Street Preaching Topic
 increasingly important to answer. If the SP's present
 a strong, biblical case, which I think they have,
 their arguments should really make you rethink who God
 is. If you approach the Bible without bias, you will
 see a God who loves, yes, but also demands repentance.
 The SP's would be misrepresenting God if they ignored
 God's demand for repentance.

 I think it's important to ask ourselves here if we are
 ignoring the actual character of God because we just
 don't enjoy the paradox of His personality. If this is
 true, it would mean that we would be a more harmful
 witness than the SP's.

  Hello Caroline,
  
  I've had some experience SPing at UF, where I am enrolled as a student, 
  and I've seen many SPing done.SPing is an act of love. 
  
  I have had students ask me why I was out there, in the sun, yelling to a 
  bunch of people. I told that person it is because I love God (1 John 5:2-3) 
  and because I loved them. If I warn my little sisterwho is aboutto 
  step into heavy traffic, I will cup my hands to my mouth and scream, "Stop! 
  You'll get killed!" It is the same way with SPing.

  As I've just said, SPing doesn't divorce His judgement from His love, but 
  I beleive the aim is for the people to be crushed. Now, I've justwritten 
  that a little facetiously, but truly, the unsaved need fear and conviction. 
  There is a God who is holy, and unfortunatly just. They need to fall on their 
  faces and be "crushed" now, rather than on Judgement Day. I don't see how any 
  of this is fruit of Satan's accusations. To ignore God as the only Judge 
  (which you are right to call Him) is to misrepresent Him and what He is about. 
  Also, and I beleive Ruben touched on this point, almost everyone you speak to 
  knows that "Jesus loves me." And I don't disagree that Jesus loves them. But 
  Jesus requires them to be born again, and that means repentance.
  
  I know that you are leaving TT, but I must ask, have you done or really 
  seen SPing? You use the word "accuse," but if a person admits to being 
  aHomosexual or Feminist, and wants to know what wrong with 
  it,there is no accusation in discussingsin withthem. SPers 
  do not go out there to label people as sinners, but to announce that there is 
  One who can save them from their sin.
  
  I really do wish you would re-examine the scriptures and see that God's 
  feels much more than love. The danger of thinking so goes beyond these 
  e-mails. 
  
  Good luck with your condo. :-)

Hello, I'm new to Truth Talk. I've been listening for 
a little while, and have decided finally to hop in. 
Caroline, I have a question: After all this discussion of God's 
anger and love, it would stand to reason that either you do not know 
God's personality, or the SP's do not know God's 
personality. This question makes the Street Preaching 
Topic increasingly important to answer. If the SP's present 
a strong, biblical case, which I think they have, their arguments 
should really make you rethink who God is. If you approach the Bible 
without bias, you will see a God who loves, yes, but also demands 
repentance. The SP's would be misrepresenting God if they 
ignored God's demand for repentance. I think it's 
important to ask ourselves here if we are ignoring the actual 
character of God because we just don't enjoy the paradox of His 
personality. If this is true, it would mean that we would be a more 
harmful witness than the SP's. 
Blessings, Christine

Wait. Huh? I'm not sure I understand how you
distinguish between reconciled and saved. What do you
mean by reconciled?What do you think the difference is?  

 My statement, once again, was  if God is the one who
 does the saving, something you may or may not
 believe  ,  the clear implication is that I do not
 know what you believe on that subject.

Question: Would I be saved if I didn't beleive "God is
the one who does the saving"? I have no idea  
 When I wrote of an arrogant pretence, above, do you
 think I spoke of that knowledge critical to being a
 witness,  or do you suppose my comments had more to
 do with the judgment of God relating to eternal
 destiny?

I think both examples of knowledge are directly
related. When the OT prohets warned an unrighteous
Israel, they knew the mind of God to tell the
Israelites that they were in big spiritual trouble. In
Amos 5:18, he says, "Woe to you that desire the Day of
the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the
LORD is darkness, and not light." He is telling the
people of Israel that the Day of the Lord will be a
day of justice and judgement, two things the
Israelites do not want to encounter, since they
practice evil. He was telling them that they were not
saved.There is nothing revelatory in Deegan's judgment, or yours

Equally, we are granted access to the mind of God when
we act as ambassadors, because we must not portray Him
as someone He is not. We must be able to discern what
is sinful, and teach others to discern and hate the
same, just as we must be able to discern when good
fruit is produced and when thorns are produced. When
thorns are produced, God promises that he will reject
and burn that plant (Heb. 6:8). You speak as if we need help to figure out what is sinful.  
Sin is anything that, left to its own, will result in our personal destruction.
You see, this knowledge isn't used to condemn anyone
or kick anyone out of the Christian Club. But
Revelations is clear about what will happen to the
Lukewarm. That's what makes the issue of whether or
not someone is saved a relevant issue. God wouldn't
intend for us to remain ignorant about identifying
thorns, because it's not too late. I don't know if
you're unsaved, JD. But with the Spirit, we can
recognize bad doctrine and attempt to answer it. I say
all of this very respectfully. Depends on what you mean by "bad doctrine."  An example, please.

So, doesn't 2 Cor. 2:15-16 resolve the matter?If you includes the likes of II Co 3:6, yes.  

 Spiritually, there is only
 one judge  --   and Deegan is not the guy.   Neither
 are you.

Right, I whole-heartedly agree. The messenger should
never be confused with the Master.

 When we are told not to judge, what do
 you think that means?

Well, Jesus tells us in Mat. 7 not to judge and to be
a hypocrite. But He also offers a solution:

4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out
the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in
thine own eye?
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine
own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out
the mote out of thy brother's eye. 

Cast out the beam in your own eye, then assist your
brother with his mote problem. Jesus is saying not to
be hypocritical in your judging, which is hateful to
God. Judging is not ungodly, however. I would normallycopy and paste 1 Cor. 2:15-16 here, but you've already
read it recently. I beleive that verse still applies
to our situation.You miss the point.  Jesus warns against harshness of judgment.  Sin in some form is always there."If we say that we are not possessing sin, we deceive ourselves and are without truth" (I Jo 1)

jt: We all battle the same things, and there is no sin that is not common to mankind. However, what is going on in today's Church should not be. 85-90% of pastors, having a problem with pornography tells us that something is very wrong. If this is where the leadership is walking - what about the people?? Do you suppose these men believe they can be a "carnal christian" and still accepted with God and this is how the enemy snared them??







I have seen figures that are much less (30 -40%) but a serious problem nonetheless

jt: I agree, it should be zero; the higher numbers come from our pastor's sermon last Sunday. I don't know where he gets his figures but he is a godly man who rightly divides the Word of Truth weekly so I don't discount his figures.

Nor would I. For a pastor, it is such a dangerous activity in addition to being 
contrary to what God, the God he represents, to what God desires from him. 
for some pastors, they seem willing to put at risk their profession, the investment they have in time, money and energy (think PhD), the distress it can cause to his family and wife, and the disappointment to those who looked to the pastor for guidance. a patiently selfish act.

JD: It all goes back to thisgrowth thing. You imply that 20-40 years is enough time to get it right. Maybe. But, if that is a universal truth of some sort, why is it not a statement of scripture? Do you understand that I quote scripture, here? I read "carnal -- babes" in I Co 3:1 and know that I must, as a student of scripture, accept the implications implicit in Paul's use of those words. 

jt: Scripture teaches growing into godliness and holiness; I don't see any exhortation to grow out of sin. We are told to stop it. If someone is in the habit of stealing, or working as a prostitute, they don't grow out of it. We have to stop participating in behavior that is killing us. 

If we are growing into godliness, we are growing out of ungodliness. 

jt: No JD, we don't grow out of sin. We reckon it so by faith; we reckonour old man dead to sin and alive to righteousnessand stop it now; it is a choice. A thief is to "steal no more" and a liar is to "lie no more" (Ephesians 4:28)

We have a difference of opionion as to what sin is, Judy (and thank you for taking a softer line in our discussions -- much appreciated.) I do think that in most cases, "sin" is a reference to what I have been calling "event sin" (drinking, smoking, lusting -- and so on). In that case, I completely agree with you. It is just that I nearly always bring into the concept of "sin" character flaws (selfishness, conceit and the like - things that are with us to some degree, things that we do "grow out of" and sins of omission.) These are biblical considerations -- you agree ? --- but these are not to added to the soncept of "sin" as often as I seem to think. 

Add to this list of "sin" rebellion. Not all sin is rebellion.

You comments above are, of course, right on.

Israelites that they were in big spiritual trouble. In
Amos 5:18, he says, "Woe to you that desire the Day of

 There are several others here that I didn't talk to as much mostly because

  God is love. Now in light of His being love,
  tell me what His wrath and His hate is like?

 How about we start with the following description of God's wrath:

 Revelation 16:1-21
 (1) And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven
angels,
 Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
 (2) And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there
 fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the
 beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
 (3) And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became
as
 the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
 (4) And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains
of
 waters; and they became blood.
 (5) And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord,
 which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
 (6) For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast
given
 them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
 (7) And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty,
 true and righteous are thy judgments.
 (8) And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was
 given unto him to scorch men with fire.
 (9) And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,
 which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
 glory.
 (10) And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast;
and
 his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
 (11) And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
 sores, and repented not of their deeds.
 (12) And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates;
 and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east
 might be prepared.
 (13) And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of
the
 dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false
 prophet.
 (14) For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth
 unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the
 battle of that great day of God Almighty.
 (15) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth
his
 garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
 (16) And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue
 Armageddon.
 (17) And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there
came
 a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is
 done.
 (18) And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a
 great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty
 an earthquake, and so great.
 (19) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of
the
 nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto
 her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
 (20) And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
 (21) And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about
 the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the
 hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

 Do you find yourself in agreement with this description of God's wrath?
Do
 you say, you are righteous Lord for judging this way or are you troubled
 by this description of God?  Do you try to find ways to explain it away?

 Peace be with you.

divides the Word of Truth weekly so I don't discount his figures.
  
  Nor would I. For a pastor, it
is such a dangerous activity in addition to being 
  contrary to what God, the God
he represents, to what God desires from him. 
  for some pastors, they seem
willing to put at risk their profession, the investment they have in
time, money and energy (think PhD), the distress it can cause to his
family and wife, and the disappointment to those who looked to the
pastor for guidance. a patiently selfish act.
  
  JD: It all goes back to thisgrowth thing. You imply that
20-40 years is enough time to get it right. Maybe. But, if that is a
  universal truth of some
sort, why is it not a statement of scripture?
Do you understand that I quote scripture, here? I read "carnal --
babes" in I Co 3:1 and know that I must, as a student of scripture,
accept the implications implicit in Paul's use of those words. 
  
  jt: Scripture
teaches growing into godliness and holiness; I don't see any
exhortation to grow out of sin. We are told to stop it. If someone is
in the habit of stealing, or working as a prostitute, they don't grow
out of it. We have to stop participating in behavior that is killing us.
  
  
  If we are growing into
godliness, we are growing out of ungodliness. 
  
  jt: No JD, we don't grow out
of sin. We reckon it so by faith; we reckonour old man dead to sin
and alive to righteousnessand stop it now; it is a choice. A thief is
to "steal no more" and a liar is to "lie no more" (Ephesians 4:28)
  
  We have a difference of
opionion as to what sin is, Judy (and thank you for taking a softer
line in our discussions -- much appreciated.) I do think that in
most cases, "sin" is a reference to what I have been calling "event
sin" (drinking, smoking, lusting -- and so on). In that case, I
completely agree with you. It is just that I nearly always bring
into the concept of "sin" character flaws (selfishness, conceit and
the like - things that are with us to some degree, things that we do
"grow out of" and sins of omission.) These are biblical
considerations -- you agree ? --- but these are not to added to the
soncept of "sin" as often as I seem to think. 
  
  Add to this list of "sin"
rebellion. Not all sin is rebellion.
  
  You comments above are, of
course, right on. 
  
  
  











  
  

  

Selfishness and pride (what you call conceit) have always been sins.
They still are, every time.

 I have never faced the situation where one of my children walked in
 rebellion and became incorrigible, but I know from God that if such were
to
 happen, I should be angry with that child and cast away that child
forever.

 Righteousness is the ability to be punitive toward sinners for the sake of
 the whole community.  It is a wicked heart which seeks to ignore sin and
let

with
 it comes redemption.  If there is no redemption, there can be no mercy and

John Cleese Biography
by John Cleese
JOHN CLEESE is not just the most spiritually 
advanced, intellectually gifted and professionally distinguished of the 
Monty Python group. He is also the one who got landed with writing these 
fucking biographies. Twenty five minutes to midnight, and he's still 
sitting there, poor sod, staring into space, trying to think what he can 
write about himself, dog tired and he hasn't even had time for dinner. 
So give me a break.
I've got a script conference at nine in the 
morning. I've got to write an intro to a book by five in the afternoon, 
a press conference at five-thirty and dinner with four of the dullest 
people in Europe after that, and then up at six-thirty the next morning 
for seven days' filming on the trot. So let me off just this once, will 
you? I really would appreciate it. I'll make myself a cup of Horlicks 
and go straight to bed. Promise. I'm not the sort to give you an excuse 
like this and then nip out after a bit of tail. Honest. OK? Thanks. I 
really appreciate it.
Mr. Cleese is happily unmarried and is the 
President of the Holland Park Schadenfreude Society.

I have never faced the situation where one of my children walked in rebellion and became incorrigible, but I know from God that if such

This is a little bit of a sore point, as I will try and explain
(again)I do not have my own business but am employed by others. I was
married to Cheryl for 10 years in which we never had a vacation because all my
vacation and many weekends and evenings were spent in ministy, in church 
out. That woman never complained, and we struggled for all those years. When
she went to Glory, I was sad that she never had anything in this world,
eventhough I know that she had plenty of Treasure up in
heaven. When she went to HeavenI remember thinking Lord, who is gonna
pray for the street ministry. I was married to Cheryl 10 years and she was the
most genuine christianI have ever met, since 1972 whenI was first
saved. I knew she could get a hold of God. By the way I have remarried to a
good christian woman, the Lord is good ALL the time!





Another thingis that evenas we struggle financially our

Kevin works in the computer field for a living. I know that this is 
sometimes hard to remember that guys like Kevin and Ruben both hold regular 
full time jobs in addition to all the travel and preaching that they do. 
Ruben has a very successful construction business painting homes with 
employees, yet he makes time for getting the Word of God out. Kevin not 
only works on computers, but he mentors many men in the church and is looked 
up to as an elder and leader among them. He certainly does not deserve 
comments like this one you just hurled at him. I suspect that like me and 
Ruben, Kevin does not make a personal penny from preaching related 
activities, but rather funds the work of the Lord from his own pocket, 
earning his living through his computer business. I'm sure the Lord himself 
has much more gracious words for Kevin when he comes before him on judgment 
day. I certainly can't hear the Lord saying, Kevin, why didn't you spend 
more time earning money and less time preaching! I think it will be more 
along the lines of, well done, good and faithful servant!

Peace be with you.

NEWSFLASH!!! God can and does commune with and 
use kids sansthe help of Mr. Newbigin. For 

a starter Mary was younger than Christine when the 
angel appeared to her, she prophesied and agreed
to do the will of God, no matter what the cost to her 
personally. Christine is quite capable of the same. jt

jt: We all battle the same things, and there is no sin that is not common to mankind. However, what is going on in today's Church should not be. 85-90% of pastors, having a problem with pornography tells us that something is very wrong. If this is where the leadership is walking - what about the people?? Do you suppose these men believe they can be a "carnal christian" and still accepted with God and this is how the enemy snared them??







I have seen figures that are much less (30 -40%) but a serious problem nonetheless

jt: I agree, it should be zero; the higher numbers come from our pastor's sermon last Sunday. I don't know where he gets his figures but he is a godly man who rightly divides the Word of Truth weekly so I don't discount his figures.

Nor would I. For a pastor, it is such a dangerous activity in addition to being 
contrary to what God, the God he represents, to what God desires from him. 
for some pastors, they seem willing to put at risk their profession, the investment they have in time, money and energy (think PhD), the distress it can cause to his family and wife, and the disappointment to those who looked to the pastor for guidance. a patiently selfish act.

JD: It all goes back to thisgrowth thing. You imply that 20-40 years is enough time to get it right. Maybe. But, if that is a universal truth of some sort, why is it not a statement of scripture? Do you understand that I quote scripture, here? I read "carnal -- babes" in I Co 3:1 and know that I must, as a student of scripture, accept the implications implicit in Paul's use of those words. 

jt: Scripture teaches growing into godliness and holiness; I don't see any exhortation to grow out of sin. We are told to stop it. If someone is in the habit of stealing, or working as a prostitute, they don't grow out of it. We have to stop participating in behavior that is killing us. 

If we are growing into godliness, we are growing out of ungodliness. 

jt: No JD, we don't grow out of sin. We reckon it so by faith; we reckonour old man dead to sin and alive to righteousnessand stop it now; it is a choice. A thief is to "steal no more" and a liar is to "lie no more" (Ephesians 4:28)

We have a difference of opionion as to what sin is, Judy (and thank you for taking a softer line in our discussions -- much appreciated.) I do think that in most cases, "sin" is a reference to what I have been calling "event sin" (drinking, smoking, lusting -- and so on). In that case, I completely agree with you. It is just that I nearly always bring into the concept of "sin" character flaws (selfishness, conceit and the like - things that are with us to some degree, things that we do "grow out of" and sins of omission.) These are biblical considerations -- you agree ? --- but these are not to added to the soncept of "sin" as often as I seem to think. 

Add to this list of "sin" rebellion. Not all sin is rebellion.

You comments above are, of course, right on. 

Selfishness and pride (what you call conceit) have always been sins. They still are, every time.Terry

tell what what you think I should have included to resolve this issue.
I was only looking for an explanation for your language. Your responses seemed sarcastic in a way that I took as condescention or defensiveness, and I wanted to let you know how you seemed. It was offensive to me, because I felt that had not solicited any sarcasim. (That's what I meant when I said I did not provoke "any of this." I'll try to include a better word than "this" next time.)

If I think you are stupid, I will most certainly let you know. But I have not come to that conclusion, as of yet.

Eh. I'm satisfied with that. (Even though your wording troubles me a little bit, because I said "stupid question," not that I was stupid, but it's fine.)

I would like very much to continue the discussion. I apologize for the tangent, I did not expect to dwell this long on the subject. But perhaps, JD, you see now why I chafed at your sarcasim? I will try to become more tough-skinned, and trust that you are considering my thoughts as well. 

Which, since we are continuing the discussion, I would like to ask: So you accept 1 Cor. 2:15 (But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man)? I'm afraid I didn't understand why you accept it only if I accept 2 Cor. 3:6. The letter killeth, the spirit giveth life. I definately agree. But what do you mean here by including the verse? Am I doing something by the letter in my application of 2 Cor. 2:15?

There! Right there. That's what I mean. "Stop your bickering little girl, you're too simple to know if I am being genuine with you or not." 

JD, I'm not trying to change the subject, I'm justgetting frustrated when I present ideas to you respectfully, and you respond to my questions with something like, "What do youthink I meant when I said that?" Wouldn't that comment implythat you think I asked astupid question? Perhaps itwas a little young of menot to know what you meant there, I don't know. But therespect is not reciprocal, and I have provoked none of this. 

The reason I raise this issue instead of just not replying to your posts, is because I would really like both ofus on this board to interact productively. Our presencehere shouldbe fruitful. But if you continue to condescend to me in your heart, then I don't wish to discuss things with you, because there is nothing I can do thento communicate effectively with you. I feel as though you're putting on a charade: you don't weigh my ideas for any truth, you jump to sarcastic remarks JD, I do consider what you write, even if I don't end up agreeing with you, I will flip to Mat. 7 and see if that verse applies to a larger audiance than the hypocrites, and I stopped to think if we were all hypocrites, and so still applied to us. But you don't, JD. You just fire back defenses and rebuttals. 

Am I still misreading you? I really didn't wish to dwell on this, but if we don't approach one another with a proper attitude, how can we communicate effectively? Perhaps I will becomesarcastic and defensive after becoming along-time member of TT, but right now I am still new and still hopeful ofseeing some good discussions.

Christine - I am 60 years old and have been a disciplesince 1957. My humor nearly always leans towards the sarcastic. Tough skin would be a definite help. I use sarcasm much less today than a month ago. A closer walk (I call it immersion) has convinced me to ease up. And I have -- save for two individuals on this forum - both of the male persuasion. 


Which, since we are continuing the discussion, I would like to ask: So you accept 1 Cor. 2:15 (But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man)? I'm afraid I didn't understand why you accept it only if I accept 2 Cor. 3:6. The letter killeth, the spirit giveth life. I definately agree. But what do you mean here by including the verse? Am I doing something by the letter in my application of 2 Cor. 2:15? 

3:6 is a part of the contextual consideration of the larger passage. We are about the assignment of spreading the fragance of His knowledge in every place - ministering the contrast that is seen in the law verses the Spirit. The conveyance of that contrast is included int he "fragrance" that we are assinged to spead.

tell what what you think I should have included to resolve this issue.
I was only looking for an explanation for your language. Your responses seemed sarcastic in a way that I took as condescention or defensiveness, and I wanted to let you know how you seemed. It was offensive to me, because I felt that had not solicited any sarcasim. (That's what I meant when I said I did not provoke "any of this." I'll try to include a better word than "this" next time.)

If I think you are stupid, I will most certainly let you know. But I have not come to that conclusion, as of yet.

Eh. I'm satisfied with that. (Even though your wording troubles me a little bit, because I said "stupid question," not that I was stupid, but it's fine.)

I would like very much to continue the discussion. I apologize for the tangent, I did not expect to dwell this long on the subject. But perhaps, JD, you see now why I chafed at your sarcasim? I will try to become more tough-skinned, and trust that you are considering my thoughts as well.

My advice to you is to stick to the subject - a judge of character may not be your long suit.
There! Right there. That's what I mean. "Stop your bickering little girl, you're too simple to know if I am being genuine with you or not." 

JD, I'm not trying to change the subject, I'm justgetting frustrated when I present ideas to you respectfully, and you respond to my questions with something like, "What do youthink I meant when I said that?" Wouldn't that comment implythat you think I asked astupid question? Perhaps itwas a little young of menot to know what you meant there, I don't know. But therespect is not reciprocal, and I have provoked none of this. 

The reason I raise this issue instead of just not replying to your posts, is because I would really like both ofus on this board to interact productively. Our presencehere shouldbe fruitful. But if you continue to condescend to me in your heart, then I don't wish to discuss things with you, because there is nothing I can do thento communicate effectively with you. I feel as though you're putting on a charade: you don't weigh my ideas for any truth, you jump to sarcastic remarks. JD, I do consider what you write, even if I don't end up agreeing with you, I will flip to Mat. 7 and see if that verse applies to a larger audiance than the hypocrites, and I stopped to think if we were all

Dave,
  
  
 I see a dilemma in your statement that Jesus was a god before he came
to earth as a human, when compared to your own position (not a god)
prior to coming to earth as a human. In my non-mormon mind that is
contradictive. I am trying to understand how YOU resolve that conflict.
I want to see if you have an answer I can find REASONABLE,
DAVEH: Perryit doesn't matter what answer I
give youyou won't find it reasonable. You've made it quite clear
that even a truth spoken from the lips of a Mormon is to be abused.

 For what possible reason do you need to have an answer that seems
reasonable, Perry. Look at it logically...You believe LDS theology is
wrong. So why do you waste your time trying to understand it? Your
previous attitude has been to attack anything emanating from Mormonism,
even if it is true. So...I can explain my beliefs to you in detail,
but your attitude towards them (and me) will remain the same, will it
not? You cannot conceive that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints is as we claim, the True Churchso why would you possibly
want to know how I resolve conflicts of beliefs that you perceive to be
false.

 As I see it, there are two possible reasons for you to ask such a
question knowing that you wouldn't agree with the answer. If you have
a similar curiosity as I do to why people believe as they do, then you
might want to know what is there about Mormonism that attracts people
or why Mormons tend to be so committed to their peculiar beliefs. On
the other hand, if you firmly believe Satan is at the heart of
Mormonism, why would you even entertain such a curiosity. From your
recent posts, I would dare say the latter is most likely, which leads
to the second reason. You have in effect proclaimed Mormonism to be
evil, and are on a crusade to denigrate it every time it is presented
in a positive light. 

 So, why do you.

want to see if you have an answer I can find REASONABLE

...unless it is to find some some weakness in my beliefs, faith or
psyche in which to attackattackattack, hoping I'll succumb to
mocking, humiliation, peer pressure or whatever. If you don't like
Mormonism, Perrythat is your problem. Just don't expect me to
allow you to make it my problem.

 Am I accurately portraying your position, Perry?

 
 or if you will use of smoke, mirrors, and prooftexts to
explain it away, or if you will sidestep the issue. These are the three
types of responses I have seen you provide for various discussions and
questions in the past.
  
  
Obviously, you also see the dilemma and have no REASONABLE answer, so
sidestepping must be the best tool in your mormon toolbox to deal with
the issue. Whining about my motives is a red herring.
  

DAVEH: Believe what you want, Perry. I feel
pretty comfortable in my understanding of what you perceive as a
dilemma. I certainly don't have all the answers to each and every
question you or Kevin might pose, but I don't let it worry me much.
Perhaps what I lack in knowledge, I make up in faith. Furthermore, I
feel so old and tired, I don't have much gumption to fight younger guys
like you and Kevin. If you want to rule the sandbox...be my guest.
I'll go find my own sandbox and take a nap.  :-)

DAVEH: I've got no problem answering somebody who really wants to
know, Perry. I just question your motives. Why do you want to know?
It seems obvious that you don't particularly care to know what I
believe, since you think my beliefs are in error and have proclaimed
your desire to prove it false. Like Kevin, you seem more intent on
belittling my faith than in participating in a viable exchange. If I
answer your below question, you will merely ask another, and perhaps
another after that, in effect causing me to/ teach Mormonism/.is
that what you really want???


 If you persist in insisting that I am deceptive about my reasons for
joining TT, then I do find it strange that you would expect me to
answer your questions using my LDS rooted beliefs.

 I notice that you often answer a question with another question. If
you don't want to answer it, just say so.
  
  
 It is a direct question with a yes or no answer. But, if you have no
answer that is okay, just say so. Here is my planned responses should
you choose to answer the question:
  
  
 1) if you say "yes" then I will ask you why you did not retain any of
your godly powers, as jesus did, when you cam to earth and why you have
