DAVEH: My latest comments are in
RED........
DAVEH: I do like being
accepted as a Christian though.

Ain�t gonna happen here, DaveH.
Izzy
DAVEH: That is one thing I find so interesting about TT,
Izzy.....Christian
tolerance is a rare commodity here. Supposedly,
TT is an open (to everyone)
forum where even sodomites are welcome. In reality, most TTers find it
difficult to accept (or perhaps I should say,
feel comfortable) having those
with contrasting views be an active part of TT.
Judy:I don't know that there is such a thing as
"Christian tolerance"
DAVEH: Would you consider Christ's treatment of the woman about to be stoned for adultery as
"Christian tolerance"?
Judy: I would say that this was an act of love on His
part and an example
to us. Jesus didn't exactly practice
Christian tolerance toward sin but he
did love and help sinners/ppl by healing and forgiving
them while ATST
telling them to "go and sin no more" - Sin has
consequences that the Jews
knew about (including the woman caught in adultery);
today even the
Church is ignorant about this.
DAVEH: OK......so we are a little bit close on this, Judy. Judy: I don't know about that DaveH, you would have to
drop your
exception clause with regard to scripture. I can
accept you as a person
but reject your doctrine and the structure you
represent. What I find
sad on TT is how professing believers
reject people Jesus died for.
How it is possible to communicate a loving Savior to
ppl who are
despised and rejected I
don't know. How does one lay down their
life for those they consider
beneath them?
DAVEH: ??? Has that been
going on in TT???
Judy: Have you seen it in the 5yrs you've been on
TT DaveH?
As for Mormons teaching Christian
virtue. You may call it that but
the reality is there is no power in your lives to live
it. My daughter
used to go to Salt Lake City on business trips and she
has friends who
were raised there (some ex Mormons but not believers,
and one who is
presently a Christian Scientist). All concur that
beneath a squeaky
clean surface appearance the fruit of people's lives is
just as rotten as
elsewhere and respect for persons worse because the LDS
Church
which runs the State of Utah favors it's own. So
Mormons are only
able to make a good showing after the flesh. But
the saddest part
is that for the most part this is all
the professing Church of the Lord
Jesus Christ has been doing also so on the surface
there does not
appear to be much of a difference.
DAVEH: I can't speak much for the LDS folks in SLC, as I've never lived there. (Blaine
might be able to share a better
perspective, as he lives near
there.) Nor do I claim LDS folks
are better than any other
Christians.......though we should be.
If any LDS folks are less than
perfect.......I realize they are
human, and I do hope they are striving to
correct their
imperfections as they seek to follow in
Jesus' footsteps.
Judy: Following in Jesus' footsteps is impossible
without being
endued with power from on high. I know you teach about
burning
bosoms or something like that but there is just one
Holy Spirit and
He anoints and honors Gods Words only. Not all
the differend ideas
and doctrines floating around out
there....
