Judyt:I thought as much. Thanks for your candor. Maybe you'd best not editorialize on TFT any further. To repeat:You know not whereof you speak. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 19, 2004 13:21 Subject: [TruthTalk] Re:Fundamentalist To be honest most of what I find online has to do with TFT's pedigree, degrees, prestige etc. which is of no use to me. I'm not going to buy his books.  I've been down that road before with devout RC's who told me I couldn't understand the Bible without a copy of their "New Catechism" which I found to be a waste of both money and time.  Kudos to DavidH for not insisting that I get a copy of the Book of Mormon before I can dialogue with him.  Wouldn't it make more sense for you to read THE BOOK so we can agree/disagree according to God's Truth?  [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Judyt:  Before going far down this 'TFT road', may I ask, please, have you actually read a whole book? Are you just selecting quotes to make a point? You'd likely still disagree with him but, it'd help if you knew what he actually meant. It's a little like saying: "Tell me what you mean so that I can disagree with it." From: Judy Taylor I won't argue with you about him being "genuine" - he has given his life to what he believes. It's the subject of his belief that is the problem.  His system makes the Word of God of no effect in the lives of people by their tradition and TFT borders on the same when he tries to separate Christ (who is the Word of God) from His Word.  Do you think God has changed so that we can now get away with what Israel was judged over? [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Judyt:  As I see it, the Pope is a genuine believer.     From: Judy Taylor "G" You are in a category all by yourself :-) A liberal minded Calvinist who writes poetry and reads the NY Times; I'm sure there are other fascinating "G" secrets as yet unrevealed.    Probably the right to life is one thing upon which Izzy and I do agree - are you pro-abortion yourself? The Pope however, is from a whole other realm which does not compare to any individual that believes on TT that I am aware of anyway and he is no more a biblicist than is Joseph Smith;  rather this Pope is a "traditionalist" who worships the "Black Madonna" patron saint of Poland and gives her all glory for saving him from the assasins bullet 23 years ago.  To a biblicist this is plain old heathenistic idolatry with which God is not pleased.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] it's interesting that the activism of both Protestant and Catholic conservatives closely match on, e.g., abortion politics--jt and Izzy themselves are as anti-abortion as the Pope   apparently the Pope is a biblicist, too, and the match entails the conclusion that the Vatican produces 'fundamentalists'...
