Re: [TruthTalk] Dave uses Socratic Method of Teaching LDS doctrine on TT
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.

Re: [TruthTalk] Fond Farewells- Salvation
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 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 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.

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. Did I not answer something? repost it I would be happy to answer ANY question you pose. be persistant if I am not answering it is probably cause I am distracted not diverting. Did you answer this?

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. Caroline wrote: If we were to divorce His judgment from His love, the people will be crushed. 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.

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) Blessings, Christine --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: JD wrote: More specifically, if God is the one who does the saving,

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.

(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.

If so, I respectfully disagree. As you know, I believe that apostles and prophets are part of the body of Christ today, but temples are another issue entirely. I believe that temples are idolatrous. The temple of God now is our body, and to build temples to God amounts to what they did when they built the tower of Babel. God is against it. What is the basis for the Mormon practice of building temples? Are there some Mormon Scriptures you can point me to that encourage this practice? Is there anything in the Bible that encourages you in this practice? Peace be with you.David Miller.

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

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

You get so confused, Linda. It was not my opinion but Lance's. I'll bet you are the kind of person who starts thinking about what you want to say just as soon as someone else starts talking.

Re: [Bulk] Re: [TruthTalk] Fond Farewells- Salvation
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.

Charles Perry Locke wrote: 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. :-) Perry From: Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Dave uses Socratic Method of Teaching LDS doctrine on TT Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 23:59:35 -0700 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.
