[TruthTalk] Re:The Holy Bible

[Judy Taylor]

From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks Judy. You did apprehend my meaning and, in the end agreed. Aside from assuming the "attack mode" at the outset you acknowledged that there are limitations to our understanding of Scripture's meaning and, throughout life will continue to be this "seeing in part". Thanks, Lance   jt: Are you sure we agree Lance :)  because I really didn't "assume attack mode", this is just my way of expressing myself. My heart is not to attack you or any person on TT, neither is it to lift myself up and put you or anyone here down.  I see truth as objective and important enough to risk being misunderstood.  judyt   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Was written by men (granted, with the aid of the HS) and, it is interpreted by men (and women)   jt: This is the problem and the reason we do not communicate. Your view is totally natural, mine supernatural or Spiritual. I would say the Bible was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is ONLY ever interpreted correctly with the help and assistance of the Holy Spirit because the things of God are foolishness to the 'natural man'.   Is there anyone on this site who has not, on occasion, misinterpreted Scripture? Or, God forbid, may not presently be misinterpreting this Book?   jt: Depends.. There is certainly a lot of misinterpreting going on. It began to come together for me when I started doing my own homework and quit looking to great men after the flesh for answers.  Now I don't have to ignore any or cut any out, I can have confidence in the whole Bible, every word and I love the Hymn 'Wonderful Words of Life' I think it is my favorite.   One sometimes wonders if there's a more dangerous instrument in the hands of a believer than the Bible. I mean dangerous (bad) not dangerous (good). Scripture + Spirit-filled believer = this site, all churches, all traditions.   jt: I'd say Scripture + Carnal believer + Psychology + Mens Theology + Doctrines of devils which encompass most of the other as well.   What we always have is an admixture of truth & error. Non is excluded from this reality. May I see the names of those who believe themselves to be noteworthy exceptions to the foregoing. Lance   jt: Moot point, since noone is there yet; even the apostle Paul toward the end of his ministry said "he had not yet attained" and he wrote most of the NT. But we forget what is behind and press on looking to Jesus the author and perfector of our faith Note: Faith that comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God which is found in this Bible.   judyt     From: Kevin Deegan "Let God be true and EVERY Man a LIAR" The Holy Bible   Judy Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Bill, shouldn't you be letting God be God in the lives of people? Last I read it was the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin.   From: "Wm. Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When do unrepentant sinners ever request counseling? They would be unrepentant sinners if they were seeking counsel. From: Judy Taylor Kevin isn't the one who dragged this out of the woodpile - it was one of 'in your words' your paranoid friends Bill trying to counsel where counselling had not been requested.  jt   From: "Wm. Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kevin, maybe sometimes its better to stay out of other people's business, especially if all you are doing in it is making matters worse. Even the paranoid (like me, and John, and Izzy, and DaveH, and Blaine, and Lance, and DavidM, and whoever else you don't like) can have some true enemies. Bill Taylor From: Kevin Deegan Well I guess Jesus should rewrite Mark 16   Todays 21 first century version: Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to those that want to hear it   [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 3/28/2004 2:48:56 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:       This is a public list and you are choosing to be here     Why do you communicate with Izzy?  Do you actually think you are accomplishing some good addressing your thoughts to someone who is not listening to you?   I  don't mind the discussion with you, but Izzy does.  the scriptures teach that we are not to "seek our own."   Love does not seek its own way or will.   Izzy does have a delete button.   And you have instruction from God on how to show respect to others.   Why not practice what you preach instead of insisting on your "rights" as a member of a public list.        John     Do you Yahoo!?
