The principle used to deal with doctrinal diversity is stated in 14:4 and is the only way unity within the fellowship can exist. Answer this question, Judy. At the end of the day, do the four brothers in Romans 14 speak and and say the same thing? If not, why is that picture not oneof manifest diversity? There is no principle or a picture of "manifest diversity" there JD; being either "weak or strong"IN THE SAME FAITH once delivered to the saintshardlyconstitutes"diversity". Also the doubtful disputations in Romans 14:1 do not apply to doctrine but to what one feels free to eat or not to eat. See Romans 14:15 "If your brother be grieved at your meat, how are you walking in love?" So far as doctrine is concerned Paul goes on to write in Romans 16:17 "Now I beseech you brethren, MARK THEM which cause divisions and offences CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE which ye have learned and AVOID THEM" Secondly, with regard to Acts 15, at the end of the day, are the Jewish Christian practicing the very same things as is required of the Gentile Church in the letter from the Council? If not, why is that not a picture of manifest diversity? What the Jews practiced or did not practice following the resurrection is no standard for doctrine, nor is it a picture of manifest diversity JD. This was the rationale of the rcc priest who once told me the reason for rosary beads is because the ppl liked them and they comforted the ppl sothe church adopted them. This is how we get off into heresy and gross error. Paul was far from "unity in diversity"at the end of his day when he writes"Therefore watch, and remember that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears" (Acts 20:31) jd On Mon, 20 Mar 2006 15:30:49 + [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You don't see it ianywhere in scripture??? Try reading Romans 14. Or look to the solutions offered in Acts 15. Unity in diversity is the very theme of those passages. jd Only if you are intent on reading it into these passages JD Romans 14 speaks of how to treat those weak in the faith; I don't see any "diversity" there; unity is something they will grow into as they grow in faith, it is still the faith once delivered to the saints. Acts 15 does not address "diversity" either, in fact the instruction is only about sin that would cause them to stumble as they grown. Interesting that they didn't send them a book of rules. However, this is not so they could "do their own thing" - Note: "It seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us" so they are to be under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit. The goal is for all "to come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ" (Eph 4:13)

By this definition, I am not a rationalist either. However, I do believe that the Holy Spirit is rational. He also does not lie or employ deception to mislead others. The Holy Spirit uses rational thought to speak to us, and he expects us to include rationality as a basis of belief and action. -- DMTorrance might give caution with these words: ".. we should seek to understand Christ, not by way of observational deductions from his appearances, but in the light of what he is in himself in his internal relations with God, that is, in terms of his intrinsic significance disclosed through his self-witness and self-communication to us in word and deed and reflected through the evangelical tradition of the Gospel in the medium which he created for this purpose in the apostolic foundation of the Church .. When we adopt this kind of approach, whether in natural science or in theology, we find that progress in understanding is necessarily circular. We develop a form of inquiry in which we allow some field of reality to disclose itself to us in the complex of its internal relations or its latent structure, and thus seek to understand it in the light of its own intrinsic intelligibility or logos ..Thus we seek to understand something, not by schematising it to an external or alien framework of thought, but by operating wit h a framework of thought appropriate to it" ---The Mediation of Christ pp 4,5 Yahoo!

[TruthTalk] God's Covenant with Abram for the Promised Land
Genesis 13:14-15 (14) And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: (15) For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. The lands where Abram lived is the land of Canaan, called Israel today. That, then, is the Promised Land?that is why it is called the Promised Land! But for how long? Forever! The inheritance is to be an eternal inheritance, which of necessity involves and includes everlasting life! If one inherits a piece of land, the deed must describe the exact boundaries of the property. Is such a description given in this deed of the land we may hope to inherit? The answer is found in Genesis 15:18, "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates." From the Nile River in Egypt, to the Euphrates in the Near East! We have all seen enough maps to know where that is, and I am sure we all know it is not up in heaven somewhere, but right here on this earth. "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:29); and the promise?the promise of eternal inheritance?is the land of Israel, from the Nile clear to the Euphrates, here on this earth! God help us to put our trust in the sure Word of God, not in the fables of men!

Illegal Alien Invasion By Judge Roy Moore The Covenant News ~ March 21, 2006 America is a land of immigrants. From the beginning of our Nation, people have come to America "the land of opportunity" where they found freedom and prosperity. However, over the last few years the immigration story has changed from a tale of working hard, playing by the rules and achieving success to a nightmare of poorly secured borders, irresponsible employers, overwhelmed social services, and increased crime.Immigration is the legal means by which one becomes a citizen of this Country. It has historically involved an application for citizenship, a test, an investigation and an oath. When people enter our Country who make no application to become a citizen, do not wish to learn our language or our customs, and only intend to reap the rewards of our economy while paying no taxes required of a citizen, they are illegal aliens and not immigrants.It is estimated that nearly 20 million illegal aliens now reside in the United States, with thousands more crossing the border every day. Statistics on how many illegal aliens reside in Alabama are sketchy, but it is known that Alabama has seen an explosion in those numbers over the last ten years. In 2000, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) estimated that 24,000 illegal aliens resided in Alabama. That represented a 500 percent increase from INS estimates in 1996. Today, experts place the number of illegal aliens at 75,000 to 100,000 and rising rapidly.Such vast numbers of people are not harmlessly absorbed into the overall population. Last year, police in Birmingham and Decatur working with the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs to locate criminals among the illegal alien population, arrested over 30 who were suspected of being involved in brutal gang activities. One of those individuals arrested had a prior felony charge and is suspected of kidnapping, extortion, and trafficking of other illegal aliens into the country.The law requires hospitals to provide free emergency medical services to illegal aliens, which costs well over $250 million per year. Alabama received $572,326 from Congress in fiscal year 2004 to offset the cost of medical services for illegal aliens, but that amount represents only a fraction of what the state actually spends in this area. Along with this illegal alien invasion come dangerous diseases and other medical conditions which are cause for heightened concern.Illegal aliens are generally not proficient in English and this lack of proficiency leads to the additional costs of providing translation expenses, and government services such as driver's license testing, education, and law enforcement. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that the children of illegal aliens, regardless of their place of birth, have a constitutional right to be educated in public schools.This judicially mandated entitlement currently costs the state over $7,000 per child per year. Given such alarming numbers as well as the renewed emphasis on security in the Country, one would think that our state and national government would focus more attention on the illegal alien problem.In fact, governments are doing less than they were even ten years ago. Since 1993, the federal spending on border enforcement has grown from more than $740 million to $3.8 billion. Despite the increase, the number of undocumented aliens flooding into our Nation has continued at a rate of about 500,000 per year. Clearly, current efforts to curtail these problems are not working.Alabama is restricted by federal law with regard to interdiction and deportation of illegal aliens. Nevertheless, our law enforcement officers can never be prohibited from arrest and detention of illegal aliens for criminal activity or violation of our laws. Some officers have been led to believe otherwise. A simple training program could correct this deficiency.Another course of action is to put more pressure on employers who hire those illegally present in this state. The federal government has left a gaping hole in this area of enforcement that the state can fill. In 1992, INS issued 1,063 orders nationwide levying fines against employers for hiring illegal aliens; in 2002, INS issued just 13 such orders. Only 3 notices of intent to seek fines against employers for knowingly hiring illegal aliens were issued in 2004 by the Immigration Customs Enforcement agency (ICE - the successor to INS). We can do better than that!Alabama needs to fill the void left by the federal government by enacting tougher laws that punish employers who hire illegal aliens for their own profit. When it becomes clear that jobs will only be available to those who become citizens by following the rules, illegal aliens will leave Alabama. Fewer

Re: [TruthTalk] Is the day in Genesis literal or figurative?
1. "Faith" is used with two considerations in Romans 14 -- "the Faith" and "faith." The FOUR brethren disagreed on The Faith, Judy. Now if you do not think that "The Faith" includes doctrine, we must agree to disagree. 2. We have the eating of meats AND the observance of holy days presented in this passage.Each is a DOCTRINAL consideration with Paul telling them this: "let each be fully convinced in his own mind." DOCTRINE. 3. That you see no diversity here is simply unbelievable. 4. Romans 16:17 "Now I beseech you brethren, MARK THEM which cause divisions and offenses CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE which ye have learned and AVOID THEM" The "doctrine" referred to in this passage is the teaching concerning unity in diversity !!! They have received a teaching that prevents divisions and moves each away from offending the other. The non-forgiving legalist who insists that "it is my way or the highway" needs to bemarked and excluded, herself !! Within the boundaries of "Christian," our home church has only one rule of conduct - tolerance of another brother's views, knowing that he does not serve the church politic but Christ, Himself. People who violate that are asked to leave. 5. What the Jews practiced or did not practice following the resurrection is no standard for doctrine, nor is it a picture of manifest diversity JD Again, your own theology has blinded you to what is being said. Acts 15 is not about "what the Jews practiced .. following the resurrection." Rather, it is has to do with the "Jewish Church" faction and the "Gentile Church"faction. To prevent division within the church of Christ, the two groups were given a course of conduct and told [by implication] to stop judging each other. Unity was more important than the notion that they all "speak and believe the same things." If you cannot see this obvious truth -- well, I really so not know what to tell you. jd

This is the approach I hear from most Bible scholars, but the pressure for doing this seems to come from science not good theology, in my opinion. The strongest statement you make is where you point out that Gen. 2:4 uses the word day figuratively. This is easily understood to be figurative, but ; the uses of the word day prior to this are numbered. The text says, First Day, Second Day, Third Day, etc. It is hard to insist that numbered days are figurative. It is the numbering of the day as well as its coupling with the evening and morning statements that makes it difficult to perceive it as being anything other than a specific time period measured by evening and morning. You would have to argue that evening and morning were greatly extended, or that they too are figurative, to maintain the figurative chronology that you hold onto. There is the added problem of having plants created l ong before the sun, moon, and stars? Not likely from a biologist's perspective. So, in all, your perspective is not the most parsimonious explanation. I remain skeptical of the figurative interpretation.

This is the approach I hear from most Bible scholars, but the pressure for doing this seems to come from science not good theology, in my opinion. The strongest statement you make is where you point out that Gen. 2:4 uses the word day figuratively. This is easily understood to be figurative, but ; the uses of the word day prior to this are numbered. The text says, First Day, Second Day, Third Day, etc. It is hard to insist that numbered days are figurative.

Illegal Alien Invasion By Judge Roy Moore The Covenant News ~ March 21, 2006 America is a land of immigrants. From the beginning of our Nation, people have come to America the land of opportunity where they found freedom and prosperity. However, over the last few years the immigration story has changed from a tale of working hard, playing by the rules and achieving success to a nightmare of poorly secured borders, irresponsible employers, overwhelmed social services, and increased crime. Immigration is the legal means by which one becomes a citizen of this Country. It has historically involved an application for citizenship, a test, an investigation and an oath. When people enter our Country who make no application to become a citizen, do not wish to learn our language or our customs, and only intend to reap the rewards of our economy while paying no taxes required of a citizen, they are illegal aliens and not immigrants. It is estimated that nearly 20 million illegal aliens now reside in the United States, with thousands more crossing the border every day. Statistics on how many illegal aliens reside in Alabama are sketchy, but it is known that Alabama has seen an explosion in those numbers over the last ten years. In 2000, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) estimated that 24,000 illegal aliens resided in Alabama. That represented a 500 percent increase from INS estimates in 1996. Today, experts place the number of illegal aliens at 75,000 to 100,000 and rising rapidly. Such vast numbers of people are not harmlessly absorbed into the overall population. Last year, police in Birmingham and Decatur working with the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs to locate criminals among the illegal alien population, arrested over 30 who were suspected of being involved in brutal gang activities. One of those individuals arrested had a prior felony charge and is suspected of kidnapping, extortion, and trafficking of other illegal aliens into the country. The law requires hospitals to provide free emergency medical services to illegal aliens, which costs well over $250 million per year. Alabama received $572,326 from Congress in fiscal year 2004 to offset the cost of medical services for illegal aliens, but that amount represents only a fraction of what the state actually spends in this area. Along with this illegal alien invasion come dangerous diseases and other medical conditions which are cause for heightened concern. Illegal aliens are generally not proficient in English and this lack of proficiency leads to the additional costs of providing translation expenses, and government services such as driver's license testing, education, and law enforcement. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that the children of illegal aliens, regardless of their place of birth, have a constitutional right to be educated in public schools. This judicially mandated entitlement currently costs the state over $7,000 per child per year. Given such alarming numbers as well as the renewed emphasis on security in the Country, one would think that our state and national government would focus more attention on the illegal alien problem. In fact, governments are doing less than they were even ten years ago. Since 1993, the federal spending on border enforcement has grown from more than $740 million to $3.8 billion. Despite the increase, the number of undocumented aliens flooding into our Nation has continued at a rate of about 500,000 per year. Clearly, current efforts to curtail these problems are not working. Alabama is restricted by federal law with regard to interdiction and deportation of illegal aliens. Nevertheless, our law enforcement officers can never be prohibited from arrest and detention of illegal aliens for criminal activity or violation of our laws. Some officers have been led to believe otherwise. A simple training program could correct this deficiency. Another course of action is to put more pressure on employers who hire those illegally present in this state. The federal government has left a gaping hole in this area of enforcement that the state can fill. In 1992, INS issued 1,063 orders nationwide levying fines against employers for hiring illegal aliens; in 2002, INS issued just 13 such orders. Only 3 notices of intent to seek fines against employers for knowingly hiring illegal aliens were issued in 2004 by the Immigration Customs Enforcement agency (ICE - the successor to INS). We can do better than that! Alabama needs to fill the void left by the federal government by enacting tougher laws that punish employers who hire illegal

Re: [TruthTalk] Physics, Astronomy and Genesis chapters 1-11
The burning bush is not a weak observation concerning the question of whether or not God is capable of creating an unquenchable fire. It would not be proof that he has done it, but it does logically support the idea that he is capable, even though the bush is not burning right now. By the way, when I climbed Mount Sinai, they have a rock there with black magnesium deposits that make it look like a bush was burned into the rocks. The guide there tells everyone that it is the burning bush of Moses. :-) David Miller - Original Message - From: Dave Hansen To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Physics, Astronomy and Genesis chapters 1-11 DAVEH: I would think anybody who understands that the argument of using a burning bush as evidence to prove that God is capable of creating an unquenchable fire is a bit weak if that unquenchable fire (burning bush) has been quenched.

However, I would ask that you consider that you will be leaving your last impression upon us, so it might be prudent for you to be nice. The reason I am doing this is that some might feel like saying something but are concerned about being reprimanded. Won't happen after this post. I planto take the list down after this week.

Re: [TruthTalk] Modalism the RESTORATION
The LDS believes in henotheism modalism?Not at the same time. FIRST This is an IMPORTANT thing to rightly understand even Joe said so Let us here observe, that three things are necessary, in order that any rational and intelligent being may exercise faith in God unto life and salvation...Secondly, a correct idea of his character, perfections and attributes. (1835 DC, "Lecture Third of Faith")It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse with him as one man converses with another... (April 1844, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, by Joseph Fielding Smith, p. 345) The LDS godEVOLVED over time. This is easly to show from the extant manuscripts.The Evolution of the LDS GodTIMELINE: 1830 ONE GOD - Modalism "Book of Mormon theology is generally modalistic. In the Book of Mormon, God and Jesus Christ are not distinct beings." (New Approaches to the Book of Mormon, 1993, pages 82, 96-99, 103-104, 110) The Book of Mormon tells of a visitation of the Father and the Son to the "brother of Jared," but the account is not speaking of two separate personages. Only one personage appears, and this personage says: "Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind have light... they shall become my sons and my daughters." (Ether 3:14) "And now Abinadi said unto them: I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people. And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son... And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 15:1, 2, 5) honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen. ("The Testimony of Three Witnesses," the last line) ...Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God... (Alma 11:44) 3 Nephi 11:27, 36; Alma 11:28-29 and Mormon 7:7The Book of Mormon (1830) declared that Mary 'is the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh,' which was changed in 1837 to 'mother of the Son of God.' 1835 TWO GODS binitarianism - Gradual separation into TWO personages one a personage of SPIRIT one of taberancle (body)http://www.irr.org/mit/WDIST/wdist-gd-dc-lfp55.html p 55 1835 Lectures on Faith ONLY TWO personages in the godhead http://www.irr.org/mit/WDIST/wdist-gd-dc-lfp56.html 1835 Lectures on Faith p 56 Son is a personage of tabernacle (BODY) http://www.irr.org/mit/WDIST/wdist-gd-dc-lfp53.html 1835 LonF p 53 Father a personage of SPIRIT Son tabernacle (Body) http://www.irr.org/mit/WDIST/wdist-gd-dc-lfp57.html p 57 Holy Spirit is the SHARED MIND of Father/Son, NOT a Personage!1839 A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest. (March 20, 1839, DC 121:28) 1844 MANY GODS - Plurality of Gods "I have always and in all congregations when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods. It has been preached by the Elders for fifteen years. I have always declared God to be a distinct personage--Jesus Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father, the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and or Spirit, and these three constitute three distinct personages and three Gods'. Teachings prophet J Smith 1844"First, God himself, who sits enthroned in yonder heavens, is a man like unto one of yourselves, that is the great secret I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined that God was God from all eternity God himself; the Father of us all dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ himself did... You have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves... No man can learn you more than what I have told you." (1844 Times and Seasons, vol. 5, pp. 613-14) Also see: Joseph Smith's 1832 account of his first vision spoke only of one personage and did not make the explicit separation of God and Christ found in the 1838 version.The lack of LDS scriptures teaching any other view especially the current LDS view of the Godhead, during the time period 1830 - 1835 also testifies to the above.David Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is interesting, Kevin.

Because LDS "truth" is not able to withstand public scrutiny! "anti-Mormon" is a "thought-terminating cliché," in other words, Orwellian "NEWSPEAK". The purpose of which is to CUE LDS to get their minds off track to reduce any possibility that they may come into contact with NON faith promoting FACTS. The LABELING of so-called "opponents" with a word, whose only purpose is to create a mental aversion, is the deliberate mechanism of the leadership to cue the membership to subconsciously censor their own thoughts! This tactic is employed by Authoritarian organizations which seek to CONTROL reduce the flow of information to their followers.

I have felt the spirit,I have a sure faith in the prophet Joseph Smith. Contention is of the devil. Therefore we cannot teach Christ's doctrine by contending one with another, nor can we be called by the name of Christ if we act as such. Christ himself taught that if a man smite thee on one cheek turn to him the other also. It saddens my heart to think of all time and effort spent trying to tear each others beliefs apart. If I think I know something to be true I will speak of my knowledge of the truth. I would not try to convert anyone to my beliefs by trying to destroy their beliefs. You do not punch someone in the eye out of love. MAY GOD BLESS THE PEACEABLE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST.

In fact I don't see why we can not lay them aside so that we may recognize the faith once delivered to the saints and "walk in Truth" or reality. Jesus was not referring to any "Unity in diversity" in John 17. He prayed they would be One as He and the Father are One Is "Unity in diversity" how you see the Godhead or "Trinity?"

Re: [TruthTalk] Physics, Astronomy and Genesis chapters 1-11
but it does logically support the idea that he is capable (of creating an unquenchable fire), even though the bush is not burning right now. DAVEH: I'd (respectfully) say your logic is flawed on this one, DavidM. David Miller wrote: The burning bush is not a weak observation concerning the question of whether or not God is capable of creating an unquenchable fire. It would not be proof that he has done it, but it does logically support the idea that he is capable, even though the bush is not burning right now. By the way, when I climbed Mount Sinai, they have a rock there with black magnesium deposits that make it look like a bush was burned into the rocks. The guide there tells everyone that it is the burning bush of Moses. :-) David Miller DAVEH: I would think anybody who understands that the argument of using a burning bush as evidence to prove that God is capable of creating an unquenchable fire is a bit weak if that unquenchable fire (burning bush) has been quenched.

Re: [TruthTalk] The week winds down...
DAVEH: With this post DavidM, I think you've exceeded your maximum posting limit of 8 posts per day. I'd request a moderator reprimand in your behalf, but like previous moderatorsour current moderator is now changing the rules on the fly. Good thing you didn't make the subject line read..MODERATOR COMMENTor, I'd be unable to express my displeasure at your below post! :-( Seriously.I'll miss TT and all the folks I've met here. And that includes the ones who've clashed with me on occasion over the years. For those TTers who I've either offended or irritatedI offer my apologies. I've learned much from you folks. If any of you ever get to the Portland area, I do hope you'll look me upI can easily be found via the shop. And for those who only get as close as SLC, I hope to meet you in a couple years or so when I intend to get down there for a reunion at Conference time. If I can be so bold as to offer some advice to DavidM.If you ever get bored with life and find you have too much time on your hands, fire up the old TT boiler for a revival of the fun and fellowship. I bet we'd all be quick to jump right back on the TT battle-wagon! May God Bless You All..!!! Cheerio.Dave Hansen David Miller wrote: As the week winds down, I will not be enforcing any rules on TruthTalk. If any of you have felt muzzled by the no ad hominem rule, now is your time to vent. However, I would ask that you consider that you will be leaving your last impression upon us, so it might be prudent for you to be nice. The reason I am doing this is that some might feel like saying something but are concerned about being reprimanded. Won't happen after this post. I planto take the list down after this week. So take the next few days to wrap up your discussions on subjects. I will give you one more notice about two days before I take down the list (probably around Thursday or Friday)so that you can say your final good byes.
