[TruthTalk] All truth leads to Jesus.

[Judy Taylor]

Do you mean me Kevin?

I believe God chooses to save ppl by the foolishness of preaching and that what is preached is important.

Sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come should be explained along with the death, burial and

resurrection of Christ and how his blood cleanses our conscience from dead works so that we may

serve the living God.  I was raised in a denomination with a social gospel which was death to me. I was

taught to see Jesus as a historical figure (like the Nicene fathers) - It was by the grace and mercy of God

along with some faithful believers that I finally learned the truth.  My extended family are still in the mire

.... so I don't take for granted that church attendance automatically means believer.... and the saying

"all truth is God's truth" is fallacious.

Could you explain what you mean by Gospel here?

From: "Wm. Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kevin,

 If it is not your gift to reach people in these arenas, that is fine. Why be offended if it is someone else's? Jesus is not bound by our limitations. He always raises someone up to preach the Gospel. That someone may be a philosopher to philosophers, a scientist to scientists, a blond haired big hallucination to druggies. What difference does it make? Praise the Lord!   Bill

 

jt: Now WHAT is the gospel?  We have several different Jesus characters here and I wonder how many gospels there are. The way I understand the example Jesus of Nazareth left - his followers left their nets to follow him.  They gave up their former way of life and thought - in Pauls case he counted all of it dung. I know everyone is not called to the same ministry as Paul and some folk do stay in their former professions but we are not to follow them.  There is ONE Lord.  We are focused more on Polanyi than Jesus here and the subject line is backward.  The person of Jesus IS ALL Truth.   judyt

I think not. The point is why go to a place where you must pick through  the trash to get at the meat, when you can go Boldly to the One who is truth? Why not point people directly to the Truth (John "thy word IS Truth") rather than a secondary source? Some might swallow a bone.
