  Romans 14 is not a discussion of how to treat the weak brother TO THE 
  EXCLUSION OF DIVERSITY.The problem in Romans 14 is clearly that of 
  diversity. 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)

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! MailBring photos to life! New PhotoMail makes sharing a breeze.

2006-03-21 Thread Judy Taylor




Israel was created by agreements of the young United Nations. Their 
new land was nothing like what it is today. 

The land was covenanted by God to Abraham and his seed 
in an "everlasting" covenant; I'd say that lasts a long
time - wouldn't you JD?

And the hatred of Palestinians goes beyond that which is reasonable or even 
human, at times.

One has to wonder why even the other Arab nations don't 
want anything to do with the Palestinians; possibly
because there is no such thing as a Palestinian; they 
are descendents of the Philistines who sailed over from
Greece ...

The surrounding Muslim/Arab world's determination to destroy Isreal without 
the possibility of compromise is disgustingly stupid to me Where, at 
one time, I had some regard for the Muslim religion , today, I 
have none. I think it is violent at its core, a faith built 
upon a hatred for all who are not Muslim.

Yes, Golda Meir used to say that they would have peace 
in the middle east when the Muslims begin to love their
children more than they hate the Jews.


But I have little regard for Judaism, as well. A very 
materialistic people, fully antagonistic to the Living Christ in 
terms of matters offaith and practice. 

I wouldn't be so quick to judge them JD; if we had the 
same kind ofhistory as a nation we would probably (without supernatural 
help) be the same. They have been run out of just about every country on 
the globe, with pogroms in Europe, Isabella shipped them out of Spain. I 
did a paper on it once and was amazed; Ifound it quite 
apalling.

Biblically speaking, Judaism reached full term in Jesus 
Christ. It is not asister religion. Where some consider 
the Old Testament as the history of the Jewish people, I really view 
it as the history of the Church.  God's chosen are to be found 
within the body of Christ. 

You are ungrateful JD - go back and read Romans 
again. We received the oracles of God through the Jews and God has not 
forsaken them. Not yet. I personally believe their ability to 
prosper is crumbs of the blessings they once walked under.

  my Savior is a Jew, because the Father says they are His chosen people,

[TruthTalk] God's Covenant with Abram for the Promised Land

2006-03-21 Thread Judy Taylor





  
  


  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! 
  Other scriptures show that the territory of Christ's Kingdom 
  is to expand and spread until ultimately it shall include the whole earth.

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.

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.

One other thought on the creation thread. I wrote my remarks more because of Conor than for any other reason. My comments can stand on their own, I believe. I do not believe in a 6000 year old earth nor do I beleive the bible teaches such - for the reasons stated. Could the earth be only 6000 years old. I suppose so, but only the sectarians beleive such, IMHO. Is God the creator? Now that is the real question. I would think we all agree on the answer to that question.

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.

is why you rarely miss a chance to take a shot at Jews, yet not the mormons or
the RCC who are true apostates. They claim to serve Jesus and yet are
anti-Christs preaching a different Jesus and a different gospel. The Jews
at least are honest about their stance on Jesus. I have a special place
in my heart for Jews because my Savior is a Jew, because the Father says they
are His chosen people, and because one day Jesus will again restore Israel
into His kingdom. Why doesnt that have any meaning for you? izzy

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

  mental torment can go on forever.

  feeding them with manna from heaven and keeping their clothes from wearing 
  out and their feet from
  swelling. The same God who stopped the sun for 24 hours and caused an axe 
  head to float on water
  The God who energized His prophet causing him to run for 25 miles in front 
  of Jezebels' chariot and
  had the ravens feed him while he rested and regrouped in a cave.

Jd, I never said the Jews will be restored Outside of the church; they will be become believers. You say you don’t dislike Jews more than any other unbelievers. It is obvious to me that you do. Your stereotypes and slurs are very revealing. Izzy

Romans 11
Israel Is Not Cast Away
1I say then, God has not (A)rejected His people, has He? (B)May it never be! For (C)I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 
2God (D)has not rejected His people whom He (E)foreknew (F)Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? 
3"Lord, (G)THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE." 
4But what is the divine response to him? "(H)I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL." 
5In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time (I)a remnant according to God's gracious choice. 
6But (J)if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. 
7What then? What (K)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were (L)hardened; 
8just as it is written,"(M)GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR,EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT,DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY." 
9And David says,"(N)LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP,AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM. 10"(O)LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT,AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER." 
11(P)I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? (Q)May it never be! But by their transgression (R)salvation has come to the Gentiles, to (S)make them jealous. 
12Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their (T)fulfillment be! 
13But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (U)I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 
14if somehow I might (V)move to jealousy (W)my fellow countrymen and (X)save some of them. 
15For if their rejection is the (Y)reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but (Z)life from the dead? 
16If the (AA)first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too. 
17But if some of the (AB)branches were broken off, and (AC)you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 
18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that (AD)it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 
19(AE)You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 
20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you (AF)stand by your faith (AG)Do not be conceited, but fear; 
21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 
22Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's (AH)kindness, (AI)if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also (AJ)will be cut
 off. 
23And they also, (AK)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 
24For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? 
25For (AL)I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this (AM)mystery--so that you will not be (AN)wise in your own estimation--that a partial (AO)hardening has happened to Israel until the (AP)fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 
26and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,"(AQ)THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." 27"(AR)THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM,(AS)WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS." 
28From the standpoint of the gospel they are (AT)enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for (AU)the sake of the fathers; 
29for the gifts and the (AV)calling of God (AW)are irrevocable. 
30For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, 
31so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. 
32For (AX)God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all. 
33Oh, the depth of (AY)the riches both of the (AZ)wisdom and knowledge of God! (BA)How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 
34For (BB)WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? 
35Or (BC)WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?

The world in which we live would reject any mention of God in the evolutionary process, IMO. But creationism in the schools? Could that not be considered the beginnings of a fanatical fundamentalist take-over of the culture?

But to allow a mere statement that suggests God is somehow in control as the Creator(?) If this could be presented into the secular system of education without it being coopted by the fundies -- go for it. But I doubt that it can.What a shame that radical fundamentalism within Christiandom forces the Body to dismiss a perfectly wonderful opportunity to introduce the Creator to others.

Re: [TruthTalk] Physics, Astronomy and Genesis chapters 1-11

2006-03-21 Thread David Miller
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.  :-)

been quenched.

Why try to confuse Conor right off the bat Lance?  Genesis is not a science
book per se.
Although the writer of Genesis is also the God who created all that is
called science
Are you asking Conor to interpret Genesis in the light of Astronomy and
Physics?

Just this morning I read this interaction between DaveH and KevinD   (I
think) ...

KD: That is explained by the fire and brimstone imagery that is in reality
endless torment.
a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire

DAVEH:   More imagery that is physically an impossibility.  Fire can be
extinguished, whereas
mental torment can go on forever.

So tell me - What is a physical impossibility for God? The same God who
delivered what he had
promised to Abraham and Sarah when they were 90 and 100yrs old respectively.
A God who was
able to roll back the Red Sea until his people crossed and afterward kept
them in the desert for 40yrs
feeding them with manna from heaven and keeping their clothes from wearing
out and their feet from
swelling.  The same God who stopped the sun for 24 hours and caused an axe
head to float on water
The God who energized His prophet causing him to run for 25 miles in front
of Jezebels' chariot and
had the ravens feed him while he rested and regrouped in a cave.

Tell me - what would be too difficult for a God like this and how can the
feeble efforts of man explain
Him?

 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

1.  Faith is used with two considerations in Romans 14  --  the Faith

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 be marked 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 
Churchfaction.   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 
ruth  --  well,  I really so not know what to tell you.

 That God is going to reestablish the Jewish people outside the

 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!

 One has to wonder why even the other Arab nations don't want anything
 to do
 with the Palestinians; possibly
 
 because there is no such thing as a Palestinian; they are descendents
 of the
 Philistines who sailed over from
 
 Greece ...
 
  
 
 The surrounding Muslim/Arab world's determination to destroy Isreal
 without
 the possibility of compromise is disgustingly stupid to me   Where,
 at one

 Yes, Golda Meir used to say that they would have peace in the middle

 when the Muslims begin to love their
 
 children more than they hate the Jews.
 
  
 
  
 
 But I have little regard for Judaism, as well.   A very materialistic

 I wouldn't be so quick to judge them JD; if we had the same kind of
 history
 as a nation we would probably (without supernatural help) be the
 same.  They
 have been run out of just about every country on the globe, with
 pogroms in
 Europe, Isabella shipped them out of Spain.  I did a paper on it once

 the Jewish people,   I really view it as the history of the Church.

 Romans 11
 Israel Is Not Cast Away
  1I say then, God has not (A)rejected His people, has He? (B)May it
 never be! For (C)I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of
 the tribe of Benjamin. 
  2God (D)has not rejected His people whom He (E)foreknew (F)Or do you
 not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he
 pleads with God against Israel? 
  3Lord, (G)THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR
 ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE. 
  4But what is the divine response to him? (H)I HAVE KEPT for Myself
 SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL. 
  5In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time
 (I)a remnant according to God's gracious choice. 
  6But (J)if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works,
 otherwise grace is no longer grace. 
  7What then? What (K)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but
 those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were (L)hardened; 
  8just as it is written,
  (M)GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR,
  EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT,
  DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY. 
  9And David says,
  (N)LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP,
  AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM. 
 10(O)LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT,
  AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER. 
  11(P)I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they?
 (Q)May it never be! But by their transgression (R)salvation has come
 to the Gentiles, to (S)make them jealous. 
  12Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their
 failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their
 (T)fulfillment be! 
  13But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (U)I
 am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 
  14if somehow I might (V)move to jealousy (W)my fellow countrymen and
 (X)save some of them. 
  15For if their rejection is the (Y)reconciliation of the world, what
 will their acceptance be but (Z)life from the dead? 
  16If the (AA)first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if
 the root is holy, the branches are too. 
  17But if some of the (AB)branches were broken off, and (AC)you,
 being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker
 with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 
  18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant,
 remember that (AD)it is not you who supports the root, but the root
 supports you. 
  19(AE)You will say then, Branches were broken off so that I might
 be grafted in. 
  20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you
 (AF)stand by your faith (AG)Do not be conceited, but fear; 
  21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare
 you, either. 
  22Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell,
 severity, but to you, God's (AH)kindness, (AI)if you continue in His
 kindness; otherwise you also (AJ)will be cut off. 
  23And they also, (AK)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will
 be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 
  24For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree,
 and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how
 much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into
 their own olive tree? 
  25For (AL)I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this
 (AM)mystery--so that you will not be (AN)wise in your own
 estimation--that a partial (AO)hardening has happened to Israel until
 the (AP)fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 
  26and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
  (AQ)THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,
  HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB. 
 27(AR)THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM,
  (AS)WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.

 sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for
 (AU)the sake of the fathers; 
  29for the gifts and the (AV)calling of God (AW)are irrevocable.

 mental torment can go on forever.
 
  
 
 So tell me - What is a physical impossibility for God? The same God
 who 
 
 delivered what he had
 
 promised to Abraham and Sarah when they were 90 and 100yrs old
 respectively. 
 
 A God who was
 
 able to roll back the Red Sea until his people crossed and afterward
 kept 
 
 them in the desert for 40yrs
 
 feeding them with manna from heaven and keeping their clothes from
 wearing 
 
 out and their feet from
 
 swelling.  The same God who stopped the sun for 24 hours and caused
 an axe 
 
 head to float on water
 
 The God who energized His prophet causing him to run for 25 miles in
 front 
 
 of Jezebels' chariot and
 
 had the ravens feed him while he rested and regrouped in a cave.
 
  
 
 Tell me - what would be too difficult for a God like this and how
 can the 
 
 feeble efforts of man explain
 
 Him?

I have numerous times would you like the posts reposted to refresh your
memory?

What is up with all the various LDS TRINITIES?
I am real interested in the CREATORS of this planet
Why is Adam a creator of Earth?
Why are you to follow adam to become a God?
ELohim 
Jehovah
Michael/Adam 

Why is Adam a Grandson?
Great Granpa, Granpa and Grandson*

 Romans 11
 Israel Is Not Cast Away
  1I say then, God has not (A)rejected His people, has He? (B)May it
 never be! For (C)I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of
 the tribe of Benjamin. 
  2God (D)has not rejected His people whom He (E)foreknew (F)Or do you
 not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he
 pleads with God against Israel? 
  3Lord, (G)THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR
 ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE. 
  4But what is the divine response to him? (H)I HAVE KEPT for Myself
 SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL. 
  5In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time
 (I)a remnant according to God's gracious choice. 
  6But (J)if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works,
 otherwise grace is no longer grace. 
  7What then? What (K)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but
 those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were (L)hardened; 
  8just as it is written,
  (M)GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR,
  EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT,
  DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY. 
  9And David says,
  (N)LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP,
  AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM. 
 10(O)LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT,
  AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER. 
  11(P)I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they?
 (Q)May it never be! But by their transgression (R)salvation has come
 to the Gentiles, to (S)make them jealous. 
  12Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their
 failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their
 (T)fulfillment be! 
  13But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (U)I
 am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 
  14if somehow I might (V)move to jealousy (W)my fellow countrymen and
 (X)save some of them. 
  15For if their rejection is the (Y)reconciliation of the world, what
 will their acceptance be but (Z)life from the dead? 
  16If the (AA)first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if
 the root is holy, the branches are too. 
  17But if some of the (AB)branches were broken off, and (AC)you,
 being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker
 with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 
  18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant,
 remember that (AD)it is not you who supports the root, but the root
 supports you. 
  19(AE)You will say then, Branches were broken off so that I might
 be grafted in. 
  20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you
 (AF)stand by your faith (AG)Do not be conceited, but fear; 
  21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare
 you, either. 
  22Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell,
 severity, but to you, God's (AH)kindness, (AI)if you continue in His
 kindness; otherwise you also (AJ)will be cut off. 
  23And they also, (AK)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will
 be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 
  24For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree,
 and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how
 much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into
 their own olive tree? 
  25For (AL)I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this
 (AM)mystery--so that you will not be (AN)wise in your own
 estimation--that a partial (AO)hardening has happened to Israel until
 the (AP)fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 
  26and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
  (AQ)THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,
  HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB. 
 27(AR)THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM,
  (AS)WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS. 
  28From the standpoint of the gospel they are (AT)enemies for your
 sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for
 (AU)the sake of the fathers; 
  29for the gifts and the (AV)calling of God (AW)are irrevocable.

 stereotypes and slurs are very revealing.  Izzy



 Romans 11
 Israel Is Not Cast Away
  1I say then, God has not (A)rejected His people, has He? (B)May
 it never be! For (C)I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,
 of the tribe of Benjamin.

  2God (D)has not rejected His people whom He (E)foreknew (F)Or do
 you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how
 he pleads with God against Israel?

  3Lord, (G)THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN
 YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE.

  4But what is the divine response to him? (H)I HAVE KEPT for
 Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL.

  5In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present
 time (I)a remnant according to God's gracious choice.

  6But (J)if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of
 works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.

  7What then? What (K)Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but
 those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were (L)hardened;

  8just as it is written,
  (M)GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR,
  EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT,
  DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY.

  9And David says,
  (N)LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP,
  AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.
 10(O)LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT,
  AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER.

  11(P)I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they?
 (Q)May it never be! But by their transgression (R)salvation has come
 to the Gentiles, to (S)make them jealous.

  12Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their
 failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their
 (T)fulfillment be!

  13But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as
 (U)I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

  14if somehow I might (V)move to jealousy (W)my fellow countrymen
 and (X)save some of them.

  15For if their rejection is the (Y)reconciliation of the world,
 what will their acceptance be but (Z)life from the dead?

  16If the (AA)first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and
 if the root is holy, the branches are too.

  17But if some of the (AB)branches were broken off, and (AC)you,
 being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker
 with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

  18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are
 arrogant, remember that (AD)it is not you who supports the root, but
 the root supports you.

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

The reason I am doing this is that some might feel like saying something

Re: [TruthTalk] Modalism the RESTORATION

2006-03-21 Thread Kevin Deegan
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.

He decided he was put his career on the line and make a statement ,in class, that was pro-creation. Before he made his presentation, he happened to ask the class of over 40 how many believed in evolution? No one raised their hands !! He didn't make his presentation.

 Israel was created by agreements of the young United Nations.  Their
 new
 land was nothing like what it is today.   
 
  
 
 The land was covenanted by God to Abraham and his seed in an
 everlasting
 covenant; I'd say that lasts a long
 
 time - wouldn't you JD?
 
  
 
 And the hatred of Palestinians goes beyond that which is reasonable
 or even
 human, at times. 
 
  
 
 One has to wonder why even the other Arab nations don't want anything
 to do
 with the Palestinians; possibly
 
 because there is no such thing as a Palestinian; they are descendents
 of the
 Philistines who sailed over from
 
 Greece ...
 
  
 
 The surrounding Muslim/Arab world's determination to destroy Isreal
 without
 the possibility of compromise is disgustingly stupid to me   Where,
 at one
 time,  I had some regard for the Muslim religion  ,  today, I have
 none.   I
 think it is violent at its core,  a faith built upon a hatred for all
 who
 are not Muslim.  
 
  
 
 Yes, Golda Meir used to say that they would have peace in the middle
 east
 when the Muslims begin to love their
 
 children more than they hate the Jews.
 
  
 
  
 
 But I have little regard for Judaism, as well.   A very materialistic
 people,   fully antagonistic to the Living Christ in terms of matters
 of
 faith and practice.  
 
  
 
 I wouldn't be so quick to judge them JD; if we had the same kind of
 history
 as a nation we would probably (without supernatural help) be the
 same.  They
 have been run out of just about every country on the globe, with
 pogroms in
 Europe, Isabella shipped them out of Spain.  I did a paper on it once
 and
 was amazed; I found it quite apalling.   
 
  
 
 Biblically speaking,  Judaism reached full term in Jesus Christ.   It
 is not
 a sister religion.  Where some consider the Old Testament as the
 history of
 the Jewish people,   I really view it as the history of the Church.  
  God's
 chosen are to be found within the body of Christ.  
 
  
 
 You are ungrateful JD - go back and read Romans again.  We received
 the
 oracles of God through the Jews and God has not forsaken them.  Not
 yet.  I
 personally believe their ability to prosper is crumbs of the
 blessings they
 once walked under.

I am real interested in the CREATORS of this planet
Why is Adam a creator of Earth?
Why are you to follow adam to become a God?
ELohim 
Jehovah
Michael/Adam 

Why is Adam a Grandson?

DAVEH: Was there a question somewhere in there, Kevin?

Why try to confuse Conor right off the bat Lance?  Genesis is not a
  

"science

Although the writer of Genesis is also the God who created all that
  

is 


  called "science"

Are you asking Conor to interpret Genesis in the light of Astronomy
  

and 


  Physics?



Just this morning I read this interaction between DaveH and KevinD  
  

(I 


  think) ...



KD: That is explained by the fire and brimstone imagery that is in
  

reality 


  endless torment.

a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire



DAVEH:   More imagery that is physically an impossibility.  Fire can
  

be 


  extinguished, whereas

mental torment can go on forever.



So tell me - What is a physical impossibility for God? The same God
  

who 


  delivered what he had

promised to Abraham and Sarah when they were 90 and 100yrs old
  

respectively. 


  A God who was

able to roll back the Red Sea until his people crossed and afterward
  

kept 


  them in the desert for 40yrs

feeding them with manna from heaven and keeping their clothes from
  

wearing 


  out and their feet from

swelling.  The same God who stopped the sun for 24 hours and caused
  

an axe 


  head to float on water

The God who energized His prophet causing him to run for 25 miles in
  

front 


  of Jezebels' chariot and

had the ravens feed him while he rested and regrouped in a cave.



Tell me - what would be too difficult for a God like this and how
  

can the 


  feeble efforts of man explain

Him?

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

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.  :-)

Re: [TruthTalk] The week winds down...

2006-03-21 Thread Dave Hansen




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

  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.
