Re: [TruthTalk] Judy and John on the Law and the Spirit
The world of philosophical religion belongs to you and Bob Dylan Gary because you are both full of your own thoughts rather than Gods and you do not rightly divide the Word of Truth. Gal 3:10 emphasizes what is written in Deut 27:26 "Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them and all the ppl shall say Amen" also Jer 11:3 "Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant" Under the New Covenant we see: Romans 2:13 "For not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified" Oophs! I thought the law had been done away with .. Is Paul confused or something? He may need your counsel. Also James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass, for he beholdeth himself and goeth his way and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was" NEWSFLASH!!

RE: [TruthTalk] Judy and John on the Law and the Spirit
The curse comes from trying to obey the law apart from the indwelling empowerment of the Holy Spirittrying to do it in the flesh is failure. Failure to obey Gods wonderful laws/commandments brings the natural consequences of sin and death. (see Deut. for the curses of disobedience vs the blessings of obedience).

Re: [TruthTalk] Judy and John on the Law and the Spirit
I disagree, but only because you are wrong. Terry Judy Taylor wrote: I understand what you are saying is dispensational teaching Terry - but there is just one tree and it has always been Christ. Israel are the natural branches and we have been grafted in (see Romans 11). God's ppl are God's ppl in every generation and basically Jesus is the Word of God. If you look closely at his teachings you will find they reflect the Law given at Sinai. jt On Sun, 29 May 2005 19:26:53 -0500 Terry Clifton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Lev.27:34 Judy. The Mosaic law was for the "Children of Israel". No Gentile has ever been under Mosaic law unless he/she voluntarily became a Jew. Terry Judy Taylor wrote: Terry the law still judges us wheneverwe break it - because the "righteous judgment of God" says that we will reap as we sow. It isnot necessary to be a Jewish proselyte. Also there is a difference between God's moral law and the Levitical Law; the latter has been nailed to the cross, the former still stands and has not gone anywhere. We can fulfill it through Christ as we walk after the Spirit and reckon our old flesh naturedead. This is the problem JD and I wrestle with periodically. The gospel he and Lance promote gives unconditional acceptance to everyone and does not deal with theseissues. jt On Sun, 29 May 2005 15:02:58 -0500 Terry Clifton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I don't know why y'all are arguing.

God is a legalist too. Read the Torah and study why Jesus had to die for your sins. John responds: There can be no argument that God was the author of the Law. Christ took the curse of the Law away Blessed are those whose "sins and iniquities are remembered no more." Where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin -- He 10:18. In the fulfillment of the Law, we have the end of law. jt: Christ did not become a curse for those who keep on wilfully sinningJD. The curse is still all over those ppl and they are wearing it. Sickness is the curse of the law. The curse of the Law, Judy, is death (spiritual death). Deut 28:20. Sickness is obviously in view in Deut 28 -- but it is sickness unto death until you are destroyed, until you perish quickly .. (v 20). In Christ, He has [tasted] death for everyone (Heb 2), the implication being that death has been destroyed. More than this, Satan Himself, who has the power of death, has been rendered powerless by the cross ; (Heb 2:14) so that we might be delivered from slavery as a result of the fear of death (2:15). Christ, Himself, describes the victory in these words: Truly I say unto you, if anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death (Jo 8:51). Since Christ took the curse of the Law away - by following your reasoning sickness should be gone also.Interesting tactic, here, Judy. You bind your conclusions into MY theology and continue the discussion !!! By following your (me) reasoning -- ss so far off base with anything I believe or have said as to be genuinely funny. I do not believe the curse of the Law is sickness; it is death or the fear of death. It's not so something is amiss. The Law has not gone anywhere JD. It is fulfilled in Christ. We must now allow it to be fulfilled in us also if we are to be found "in Him" Where in scripture do I find this requirement that I must fulfill the Law as Christ did. Your doctrine of works is a failures doctrine - offering no hope and placing one back under bondage. The contrast is law verses Spirit.If righteousness came by the Law, then Christ died in vain, David. Therefore, the faith of Christ is presented in the place of righteousness (or the lack there of). The very purpose of the Law sealed its fate -- for through the Law I died to the Law that I might live to God. More than a contrast between law and Spirit, the biblical text speaks of faith verses Law .. the incumbent rewards of abiding in the Law is not a demonstration of faith - rather, such rewards are the result of indebtedness. jt: God Himself does not pit faith against His Law; this is done by doctrines of men. It is God through Paul who makes the contrast: Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works (the Old Law) No, but by a law of faith. I, personally, think it too strong to state that the Law is pit

I understand you to be asking me what I believe about the incarnation Lance - if I am setting 'the cross over against the incarnation' and if Paul preached the cross over against the incarnation. If the incarnation is left in it's proper setting then I don't see any reason to come against it. However, when it is taken from it's rightful place and made into something God never intended then I would answer yes to the above. 1. I agree that God supplied a body for His only begotten son through a virgin by the name of Mary and that this is a fact historically. 2. I disagree with the "doctrine" of the incarnation because so far as I can see it does not deal with God's judgment against sin and it does nothing to lead God's ppl into righteousness and holiness On Mon, 30 May 2005 06:43:06 -0400 "Lance Muir" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Jt:Please read my post one more time.

The fact is that the Spirit and miracles were because of faith, not law.

I am quoting scripture too JD; this makes me even more certain that clinging to this incarnational thing is folly.JD: They were SPIRIT-FILLED, Judy and yet, Paul saw only danger in their return to the law. These folk are converted Gentiles. They are not Jews. Yet, there are those who would drag them back into a life of compliance to the Law. jt: How can you be sure they were all Gentiles JD: They had not been circumcised (Gal 5:2) jt: Paul makes a point here, he is not specifically referring to them ... all we know for sure is that they lived in Galatia. The Judaizers were pretty busy, in fact they stirred up trouble everywhere Paul went giving him a reputation. They taught that it was Jesus plus the Levitical system in part even without a temple; these ppl had reverted back to Judaism and Galatians 3:3 explains his meaning "Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?

Anyone who got it right the first time is just mistaken according to your personal excuse theory. It explains why you have drifted from one doctrine to another and. Paul the Apostle got it right the first time because flesh blood did not reveal it to him. he did not teach doctrines of men. How did he know, he had it right? The same way any true christian knows. He had the asurance of God through His word His Spirit. What Paul taught was it up for future revision? Was he blown around like you? Are the doctrines of God due for a change as often as you change yours? Mk 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this?

[TruthTalk] Indy 500
Kevin give us a preach report on the Indy 500. Preaching That Cuts, here are a few sections taken from Catherines Booth (co-founder of the Salvation Army) final public address:On holiness: But supposing they do get pardoned from their past sins, they do not realize that Jesus has the power to deliver them from the sin reigning in their hearts; from their besetting sins; from that which constitutes their misery. Perhaps on no point has The Salvation Army suffered persecution more than on this one point of its teaching .that He not only washes their past sins away but has the power to keep them from their sins, and will, if they trust in Him, enable them to live in righteousness and holiness all their lives, walking in obedience to His commands, keeping that inner law of which we have just heard-the law of Christ-which is the most perfect law and fulfills all others-loving the Lord thy God with all the heart, mind, soul, and strength, and thy neighbor as thyself Even in a Christian land this is not known, and consequently, we have professing Christians the most ready of all to persecute us when we announce such a doctrine.On evangelism:A man who was sitting in his easy-chair, with his feet on an ottoman, said to me the other day: But the Lord will come presently and put all things right. I replied: I am afraid you are expecting the Lord to do what He has called us to do. The Lord does not say He will go and preach the Gospel to every creature; He says you are to go and do it. He does not say He is going to convert the world; He says you are going to do it ..How are you going to get them down from their tower of self-satisfaction, sin, and pleasure? Do you think they are coming down by you saying, Here, come along; hear me; let me preach to you. Come and be converted? Oh no! The Christian Church has been trying that game too long. The people are far to busy. They turn around and tell you so. They say, I am doing a great work; I cannot come to you. Listen to what Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples to do. Not to ensconce themselves in comfortable buildings and invite people to come, and then, if they would not come, leave them alone to be damned. No, no! He said: Go ye, which means, Go after them. Where, Lord? Into all the world. What to do? Preach the Gospel to every creature.On balanced preaching: You would think, if you heard some peoples representation of the truth of God, that it was all honey and soap; you would not think there was any cut in it any dividing asunder. You must preach Gods justice and vengeance against sin as well as His love for the sinner. You must preach Hell as well as Heaven. You must let your Gospel match the intuitions of humanity, or you may as well throw it into the sea, and thus save both trouble and money. A Gospel of love never matched anybodies souls. The great want in this day is truth that cuts; convicting truth; truth that convicts and convinces the sinner and pulls of the bandages from his eyes. The Lord knows the order in which His truth ought to be preached better than we do. Hence His commission to Paul, to go and open the eyes of sinners to their danger, and turn them round from the power of Satan unto God. This was to be done before they were converted. Oh! says someone, do not talk to them about Hell, death, and judgment; show them the love of Christ. But we always get wrong when we reverse Gods order. Tear the bandages off. Open their eyes, turn them round from the desire, the embrace and choice of evil to the embrace and choice of God. That they may receive forgiveness of sins. Tell them the truth; tell a man the truth about himself. Drive in the red-hot, convicting truth of God on to his conscience, and make him realize that he is a sinner. Never mind how he howls, even if he groans as loud as the Psalmist did when the pains of Hell got hold of him. Until he has been made to feel himself a sinner he will never make anything of a saint. Then give him the Gospel.

[TruthTalk] NIV Bible Quiz
I received this in my inbox and thought some might like to take this test. I think we may have posted this some years back on TruthTalk. David Miller. --- NIV BIBLE QUIZ INSTRUCTIONS: Using the New International Version Bible (NIV), answer the following questions. Do not rely on your memory. As the Bible is the final authority, you must take the answer from the NIV Bible verse (Not from footnotes but from the text. Footnotes are not the Bible.). 1. Fill in the missing words in Matthew 5:44. Love your enemies, them that curse you, _ to them that hate you, and pray for them that __ and persecute you. 2. According to Matthew 17:21, what two things are required to cast out this type of devil? 3. According to Matthew 18:11, why did Jesus come to earth? 4. According to Matthew 27:2, what was Pilate's first name? 5. In Matthew 27:35, when the wicked soldiers parted His garments, they were fulfilling the words of the prophet. Copy what the prophet said in Matthew 27:35 from the NIV. 6. In Mark 3:15, Jesus gave the apostles power to cast out devils and to: 7. According to Mark 7:16, what does a man need to be able to hear? 8. According to Luke 7:28, what was John? (teacher, prophet, carpenter, etc.). What is his title or last name? 9. In Luke 9:55, what did the disciples not know? 10. In Luke 9:56, what did the Son of man not come to do? According to this verse, what did He come to do? 11. In Luke 22:14, how many apostles were with Jesus? 12. According to Luke 23:38, in what three languages was the superscription written? 13. In Luke 24:42, what did they give Jesus to eat with His fish? 14. John 3:13 is a very important verse, proving the deity of Christ. According to this verse (as Jesus spoke), where is the Son of man? 15. What happened each year as told in John 5:4? 16. In John 7:50, what time of day did Nicodemus come to Jesus? 17.

What would the Jew have done with Paul? What was the chief captain's name? What did the chief captain command? 21. Copy Romans 16:24 word for word from the NIV. 22. First Timothy 3:16 is perhaps the greatest verse in the New Testament concerning the deity of Christ. In this verse, who was manifested in the flesh? 23. In the second part of First Peter 4:14, how do [they] speak of Christ? And, what do we Christians do? 24. Who are the three Persons of the Trinity in First John 5:7? 25. Revelation 1:11 is another very important verse that proves the deity of Christ. In the first part of this verse Jesus said, I am the A__ and O___ , the _ and the ___: Conclusion: Little space is provided for your answers, but it's much more than needed. If you followed the instructions above, you not only failed the test, you receive a big goose egg. So now what do you think of your accurate, easy-to-understand, up-to-date Bible? If these 25 questions haven't served to show you that the NIV is a very inferior Bible, based on a very inferior Greek text, write me and I'll make up another quiz with 25 more questions, or 250, if you wish; but you will still flunk the text. If you would like to improve your score, and in fact score 100%, you can take this test using the Authorized (King James) Bible . by Rex L.

Re: [TruthTalk] Judy and John on the Law and the Spirit
I believe that all the law given to Moses was for the children of Isreal. That is what the Bible says and I believe the Bible to be true. That includes the ten commandments. Even if you tried, you could not keep the law, Judy. It has never been done by anyone but Christ. I live by the teaching of my Savior, and consider His two commands to cover all moral law. Jesus is the alpha and the omega. It is Him for me, A to Z, start to finish. He is all I need.

[TruthTalk] Old Glory...long may it wave
Kevin: USAF, I am classified as a Vietnam Era Vet Some things regarding Old Glory you might not have known, and so much for separation of Church and State. A) when Folding the American Flag 1. Bring the striped half up over the blue field. 2. Then fold it in half again. 3. Bring the lower striped corner to the upper edge forming a triangle. 4. Then fold the upper point in to form another triangle. Continueuntil the entire length of the flag is folded. 5. When you get near the end - nothing but the blue field showing -tuck the last bit into the other folds to secure it. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, In God We Trust. After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today. B) Or the Meaning of the Folding the American Flag The flag folding ceremony represents the same religious principles on which our great country was originally founded.The portion of the flag denoting honor is the canton of blue containing the stars representing states our veterans served in uniform. The canton field of blue dresses from left to right and is inverted only when draped as a pall on the casket of a veteran who has served our country honorably in uniform.In the Armed Forces of the United States, at the ceremony of retreat, the flag is lowered, folded in a triangle fold and kept under watch throughout the night as a tribute to our nations honored dead. The next morning it is brought out and, at the ceremony of reveille, run aloft as a symbol of our belief in the resurrection of the body. The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks and who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature; for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him weturn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidan The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, Our country, in dealingwith other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong. The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of theUnited States of America, and to the republic for which it stand, one nation under God, indivisible, withliberty and justice for all. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that wemight see the light of day, and to honor our mother, for whom it flies on Mothers Day. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotionthat the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded. The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense ofour country since he or she was first born. The eleventh fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost. C) Do you know how to Display the Flag 1. When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. 2. The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right, the flag's own right and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag. 3. The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff. 4. When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with

Joseph Smith also declared, "I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors" (Translation of Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 327). Apostle Mark E. Peterson said, "Many insertions were made, some of them 'slanted' for selfish purposes, while at times deliberate falsifications and fabrications were perpetrated" (As Translated Correctly, p. 4). Apostle Orson Pratt stated: "If it be admitted that the apostles and evangelists did write the books of the New Testament, that does not prove of itself that they were divinely inspired at the time they wrote Add all this imperfection to the uncertainty of the translation, and who, IN HIS RIGHT MIND could for one moment suppose the Bible in its present form to be a perfect guide? Who knows that even one verse of the Bible has escaped pollution, so as to convey the same sense now that it did in the original?" (Divine Authority of the Book of Mormon, pp. 45, 47) LDS Apostle Orson Pratt further proclaimed, "The Bible has been robbed of its plainness; many sacred books having been lost, others rejected by the Romish Church, and what few we have left, were copied and re-copied so many times, that it is admitted that almost every verse has been corrupted and mutilated to that degree that scarcely any two of them read alike" (The Seer, p. 213) BOM, II Nephi 29:6-10 (Pg.110), "Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible and we need no more Bible Wherefore because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written." Joseph Smith stated: "it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of men, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.10) When: "the book [Bible] proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew...it contained the fullness of the gospel of the Lord, of whom the twelve apostles bear record" (1 Nephi 13:24), but afterwards "thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church...after the book hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church, that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book, which is the book of the Lamb of God. And after these plain and precious things were taken away it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles" (Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 13:26,28). See also Doctrines of Salvation, vol.3, p.190-191. "many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible...Wherefore because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written" (Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 29:3,10). When his "revelation" about Adam being God was disputed, Brigham Young stated: "You believe Adam was made of the dust of this earth. This I do not believe...I have publicly declared that I do not believe that portion of the Bible as the Christian world do. I never did, and I never want to. What is the reason I do not? Because I have come to understanding, and banished from my mind all the baby stories my mother taught me when I was a child" (Journal of Discourses, vol.2, p.6). Orson Pratt's lack of confidence in the Bible is obvious: "...and who, in his right mind, could for one moment, suppose the Bible in its present form to be a perfect guide? No one can tell whether even one verse of either the Old or New Testament conveys the ideas of the original author" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 28). Apostle Bruce McConkie: "Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors, many plain and precious things were deleted, in consequence of which error and falsehood poured into the churches. One of the great heresies of modern Christendom is the unfounded assumption that the Bible contains all of the inspired teachings now extant among men" (Mormon Doctrine, pp. 82,83). McConkie continues: The Bible of the Old World has come to us from the manuscripts of antiquity - manuscripts which passed through the hands of uninspired men who changed many parts to suit their own doctrinal ideas. Deletions were common, and, as it now stands, many plain and precious portions and many covenants of the Lord have been lost. As a consequence, those who rely upon it [the Bible] alone stumble and are confused... (The Ensign, December 1985, p 55). Comparisons made by Mormon Leaders between the Bible and Book of Mormon---President Ezra Taft Benson stated: "Unlike the Bible, which passed through generations of copyists, translators, and corrupt religionists who tampered with the text, the Book of Mormon came from writer to reader in just one inspired step of translation" ("The Keystone of Our

I only presented the FACT that it was preached at general Conference AND announced as a REVELATION from the Lord!. BUT this fact means that it was sustained, does it not? Are you saying Brigham Young was not sustained at general conference Was it not James Strang that was sustained as Prophet instead of Brigham Young? Joseph Smith's last revelation was given on June 18, 1844, appointing James J. Strang as his successor. "...to him [James] shall the gathering of the people be...if evil befall me [Joseph] thou shalt lead the flock." http://www.strangite.org/Board.htm ONLY JOE HAD AUTHORITY to pass along "1 O hearken, ye elders of my church, and give ear to the words which I shall speak unto you. 2 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye have received a commandment for a law unto my church, through him whom I have appointed unto you to receive commandments and revelations from my hand. 3 And this ye shall know assuredly--that there is none other appointed unto you to receive commandments and revelations until he be taken, if he abide in me. 4 But verily, verily, I say unto you, that none else shall be appointed unto this gift except it be through him; for if it be taken from him he shall not have power except to appoint another in his stead. 5 And this shall be a law unto you, that ye receive not the teachings of any that shall come before you as revelations or commandments; 6 And this I give unto you that you may not be deceived, THAT YOU MAY KNOW THEY ARE NOT OF ME." (DC 43) Joe did not appoint B Y! Brigham Young said, "Who ordained me to be the First President of this church on earth? I answer, it is the choice of this people, and that is sufficient." (Millennial Star, Vol. 16, p. 442) Brigham Young did not assume the presidency of the church upon Joseph's death. He was acknowledged only as the president of the twelve Apostles. The twelve, though, were not called to head the church. Their sole authority was to carry the gospel to the nations of the world and not to govern. The quorum of the twelve form only "a quorum" with authority equal to the three presiding high priests quorum and not equal to the first President. "23 The twelve traveling councilors are called to be the Twelve Apostles, or special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world--thus differing from other officers in the church in the duties of their calling. 24 And they form a quorum, equal in authority and power to the three presidents previously mentioned."

Your doctrine of works is a failures doctrine - offering no hope and

Well, I did go back and look, thinking maybe I had a problem with my memory and owed you an apology, but instead I found that you were wrong. I did quote you correctly. Look closely at the second paragraph in the quote below. However, I do not want to continue this discussion. We have a new moderator now and we need to get back on the right foot of discussing interesting subjects, not playing word games of you said / he said / she said.

David Miller wrote: You claim that this teaching of Christ does not include us. From my perspective, this emanates from doubt and unbelief. John wrote: S, if one disagrees with you, the problem is always one of doubt and disbelief? If I am speaking truth, yes, but the real point is that when somebody disagrees with Christ, the reason is doubt and unbelief. John wrote: When you disagree with me, David, it is because you are wrong !! That'what I think. How can I be wrong if knowing you are right is a fantasy? You are filled with contradictions here that make further conversation impossible without first resolving the issue of whether or not we can know anything. When I say that your perspective seems to be that there is a little doubt and unbelief in all of us, you disagree. Yet, you then turn around and claim that knowing we are right about something is a fantasy. You can't have it both ways. We obviously have a huge disconnect here in regards to our terms of knowledge, knowing, doubt, and unbelief. You must be working from some other definitions of these words or you are a completely irrational person. John wrote: It never has crossed my mind that you were one of doubt and disbeleif. Well, you should be thinking of me that way, because I have quite a bit of doubt and unbelief. If I did not, I would be walking on water and doing many of the other things that Jesus said those who believed upon him would do (John 14:12). John wrote: Guaranteed I am not. And you think I am arrogant and you are not? This is one of the most arrogant statements I have ever heard on TruthTalk. If you know any way to explain what doubt and unbelief and knowledge mean to you, please try. We have grossly different understandings of these words. You claim we can't know anything and yet at the same time not have doubt and unbelief. When my mind hears that, it reacts like that robot on Lost in Space saying, It does not compute. [I borrowed from my childhood memories of Lost in Space just for Lance. :-)] I would like to discuss this subject further, but cannot until you define the terms
