Re:Fundamentalist
Not necessary for me to report anyone to
Perry, he is aware. However, this does say something
about an attitude of the heart among those who
profess to be believers. Not too many seem to
prefer others over
themselves these days. I noticed the very same reaction when DavidM made
some requests as list
moderater a while back (you may not have been on the list back then)..
I've
seen requests to Chris
Barr about his large font etc. ignored and Ellsman always on the offense
never
responded to much of anything. Where's the love? Are there any 1 Corinthians 13
Christians around
these days?

Judyt:Report me to Perry.
I'm not interested in
knowing any more of TFT's doctrine - and contrary to your personal opinion
Lance
I do know whereof I speak in the areas that matter
to me and to those who care enough to fellowship
with me in Christ.
I have a question for you.
Why do you keep doing what Perry has asked us not
to do? That is the one liners?
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.
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?

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."
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?

Judyt: As I see it, the Pope is a
genuine believer.
"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.
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'... G
