Re: [TruthTalk] Transitional Considerations and the Gospel.

2005-06-14 Thread knpraise



It is disappointing to me that Linda saw me making fun of the Millers as they left on vacation to the 
beaches of Florida. IN REALITY, I was reminding not only them but all who read that post, that the preaching of the gospel is not the definition of what it is that we are to be about when it comes to our involvement in the conversion of the world. Not all. Such a view is even sophomoric in nature and foreign to what we have actually been given to do. 

We are prophets, priests and kings in a world in need of the ministry of reconciliation (II Co 5)

In this country (the USA), we have sought to control the world's attitude regarding the church. There was a time when Sunday had its own laws and rules of conduct... for the world. We dictated to an unbelievingcommunity what they would do on that Special Day. If they would not go to church on that day, they sure as hell were not going to do anything else !!! And in this force fed political atmosphere, the world decided enough was enough. 

And we stood on the street corners and yelled our brand of obscenities at them. 

Times are a changing. The world is going to FORCE THE CHURCH to do something right !! .to get real with this ministry of reconciliation thingy.or die on the vine. 

I personally believe that the evangelical community is close to being what it needs to be. It is less sectarian than it used to be (at least here in Fresno) and more open to evangelical experimentation.If it (the modern Fundamental church of which I am a part) were to add to its presentation a comprehensive involvement in the needs of the community in which it finds itself, it would find itself morein tune with thebiblical imperative to preach the gospel to the world. 

Is the power of the gospel to the found in the preaching of the gospel ??? --- not at all. Rather, it lies in the intrinsic value of the good deed !!! I Pet 2:11ff makes it clear that when the world rejects our message (the verbal ministry of the Word) it will see OUR GOOD DEEDS AND GLORIFY GOD. 

This is exactly why James defines religion in terms of benevolent action.

That was the attitude I had in mind when I included the fatherless and widows.

At the time I didn't know anything about that, but I was shocked at the way "Negroes" (the proper term at the time) were treated there. I had never experienced anything like that. Separate water fountains and windows at the Dairy Queen;
 separate seating areas at the movie theatre. Prevailing superiority caste system by those in control (whites). I'm glad I saw it first hand. Centuries old bigotries and ways of living die hard. Changing mindsets and mores is like going through a birth process-very painful, but worthwhile in the long run. By the way, the blacks needed to change, too, as they had been pushed down for so long; they are still learning to be self-reliant and competitive in the marketplace. Living in the inner-city gives you plenty of experience with those who haven't made the shift yet. Entire ethnic groups don't change in one generation; black or white. "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd was a cute, touching novel which addressed the southern race issue.

Lance,

  Thanks for your concern for Blaine and over the legitimacy and 
sensitivity of my line of questioning. My reason for asking that question is 
two-fold. One is to relate to the rest of the group what potentially awaits 
good mormon men who transition from men to gods and the women who may get 
chosen to be their eternal soirit wives. The second is to determine if 
Blaine has any insight or opinoin into his grandfather's current state. As 
for the pitter-patter of spirit feet, I thought that was a cute quip based 
on the parallel earthly phrase meaning the same thing when earthly human 
children are born.


  It is a common mormon belief that mormons can become gods after they die, 
have spirit wives, produce spirit babies, and populate a planet, just as 
their current god, originally from the planet Kolob, did with his spirit 
wives and this planet, Earth. I know several of his offspring...Satan, 
Jesus, Dave, and Blaine, to name a few. I do not think that a mormon would 
find this question offensive, no more so would any Christian of whom I 
askedof their deceased grandfatherr, was he a believer, implying all that 
we believe happens to a believer who dies. Besides, it is also possible that 
Blaine had heard from his grandfather from beyond the grave, as he did a 
great aunt, I believe it was, and knows the answer to these things. If he 
has received no message from his grandfather, then perhaps he has an opinion 
relative to that question. For example, if he knows that his grandfather 
performed all of the earthly works necessary to become a god, then he mey 
reply with certainty that he is in such a state, although he has not heard 
directly from him. And, since Blaine is a big boy, he can respond if he 
wishes, or not.

  Lance,
 
 Thanks for your concern for Blaine and over the legitimacy and
  sensitivity of my line of questioning. My reason for asking that 
 question
 is
  two-fold. One is to relate to the rest of the group what 
 potentially
 awaits
  good mormon men who transition from men to gods and the women who 
 may get
  chosen to be their eternal soirit wives. The second is to 
 determine if
  Blaine has any insight or opinoin into his grandfather's current 
 state. As
  for the pitter-patter of spirit feet, I thought that was a cute 
 quip
 based
  on the parallel earthly phrase meaning the same thing when earthly 
 human
  children are born.
 
 It is a common mormon belief that mormons can become gods after 
 they
 die,
  have spirit wives, produce spirit babies, and populate a planet, 
 just as
  their current god, originally from the planet Kolob, did with his 
 spirit
  wives and this planet, Earth. I know several of his 
 offspring...Satan,
  Jesus, Dave, and Blaine, to name a few. I do not think that a 
 mormon would
  find this question offensive, no more so would any Christian of 
 whom I
  askedof their deceased grandfatherr, was he a believer, implying 
 all
 that
  we believe happens to a believer who dies. Besides, it is also 
 possible
 that
  Blaine had heard from his grandfather from beyond the grave, as he 
 did a
  great aunt, I believe it was, and knows the answer to these things. 
 If he
  has received no message from his grandfather, then perhaps he has 
 an
 opinion
  relative to that question. For example, if he knows that his

  performed all of the earthly works necessary to become a god, then 
 he mey

At the time I didn't know anything about that, but I was shocked at the way "Negroes" (the proper term at the time) were treated there. I had never experienced anything like that. Separate water fountains and windows at the Dairy Queen; separate seating areas at the movie theatre. Prevailing superiority caste system by those in control (whites). I'm glad I saw it first hand. Centuries old bigotries and ways of living die hard. Changing mindsets and mores is like going through a birth process-very painful, but worthwhile in the long run. By the way, the blacks needed to change, too, as they had been pushed down for so long; they are still learning to be self-reliant and competitive in the marketplace. Living in the inner-city gives you plenty of experience with those who haven't made the shift yet. Entire ethnic groups don't change in one generation; black or white.

 based
  on the parallel earthly phrase meaning the same thing when earthly

 It is a common mormon belief that mormons can become gods after 
 they

 If he

 Blaine has any insight or opinoin into his grandfather's current state. As
 for the pitter-patter of spirit feet, I thought that was a cute quip
based
 on the parallel earthly phrase meaning the same thing when earthly human
 children are born.

It is a common mormon belief that mormons can become gods after they
die,
 have spirit wives, produce spirit babies, and populate a planet, just as
 their current god, originally from the planet Kolob, did with his spirit
 wives and this planet, Earth. I know several of his offspring...Satan,
 Jesus, Dave, and Blaine, to name a few. I do not think that a mormon would
 find this question offensive, no more so would any Christian of whom I
 askedof their deceased grandfatherr, was he a believer, implying all
that
 we believe happens to a believer who dies. Besides, it is also possible
that
 Blaine had heard from his grandfather from beyond the grave, as he did a
 great aunt, I believe it was, and knows the answer to these things. If he
 has received no message from his grandfather, then perhaps he has an
opinion
 relative to that question. For example, if he knows that his grandfather
 performed all of the earthly works necessary to become a god, then he mey
 reply with certainty that he is in such a state, although he has not heard
 directly from him. And, since Blaine is a big boy, he can respond if he
 wishes, or not.

   Do you think you Grandfather is a god now, with spirit wives, and
 possible
   the pitter-patter of little spirit feet?

   Blaine:  Good, JD.  I agree parents are critical in what  children
end
 up
   believing. I am very fortunate to have had good advice and  guidance
 from
   my mom
   and dad.My grandpa was also very  influential, mostly by his
 example.
   He
   served two missions (LDS) to  Norway, and another one to Spokane,
   Washington.
   He recorded many  miraculous healings, casting out of devils, etc. in
 his
   writings.  He was a  Judge in regular life, and often required those
he
 saw
   in
   court to go to church,  the denomination being left to them.  He was
 always
   in
   favor of religious  training, regardless of the belief system.  Any
 belief
   that
   advocates  Christian values, he felt, was better than the value
systems
   that
   got people  into trouble with the law.  Nevertheless, he lived and
died
