From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Your two alternatives hold tenaciously to a religious motivation. Perhaps you should consider some more academic motivations.
Judy: Religion and academic? - neither cuts it - This list is for talking about Truth and Truth is spiritual. There is a spirit of Truth and a spirit of error and ne'er the twain shall meet. Some of us are walking in truth and others of us are walking in error. We could study every encyclopedia in the world, know what every Protestant and RC has said since the Reformation - debate until Kingdom come and accomplish nothing other than to weary our flesh. DavidM: For example he is sincerely curious as to how Protestants hold to certain beliefs that to him appear preposterous. To examine this, he must question some of the answers according to his own mindset and thinking, to see how the answers hold up. Judy: Some ppl can read a Biblical passage and find it tedious, confusing, even foolish - whereas others receive great understanding and blessing from the same passage. What makes the difference? One group is animated by the spirit of this world - (the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience Eph 2:2) whereas the others are indwelt by the Spirit of God who they received along with the faith of Jesus when they trusted Him for forgiveness and salvation. "The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Cor 2:14)" Should we change the name of this list to "ACADEMIC FORUM" Grace and Peace, Judy ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
