Chris/Perry:This conversation, as structured, is a
dead end. As Monty Python said: 'This Parrot is dead'. My advice to all is NOT
to engage Chris in this conversation. This is NOT the same conversation
generated by John's initial post on Kruger.
For Chris, this isn't a 'conversation'. This is his
opportunity to explain the 'gospel' to 'unbelievers' (us); right
Chris?
Lance: COVER YOURSELF, MAN! You have exposed yourself.
Misdirection and diversion are two of the oldest ploys of the devil [ YHVH rebuke him ] ... older even than his
trinitarian ploy which is both of the former just for starters ...
... ?"Monty Python"? -- I love that stuff
but that aint' this and just don't fit ...
... ?"'Parrot is dead'"? -- only fits if
you're going to parrot "church" historians past and present rather than
Scripture ...
... ?"John's initial post on Kruger" ...
who said anything about John and/or Kruger anway? This post is titled
differently and came from a completely different thread.
Your question to me is another dishonest
diversion from the subject matter. Trying to kill the conversation before
it even gets started? FOR SHAME!
Now, help me out here anybody ... just who
is the father of lies?

You're welcome and thanks,
Perry.

Well, Perry, the first thing I would
note here is that things are not always as they appear.
The second thing I would note is that
separateness does not necessarily have an impact on numerical
personages. For example, as a husband to my wife there is a distinct
separateness regarding physical details quite distinguished from that
as a father to my son and yet I am not two separate persons -- husband and
father.
None of the examples you have given are
at all difficult to give answer to as even my 12 year old son can give
answer to them -- though admittedly he is exceptionally bright.
I'll address a couple shortly and
others later ... work to do and all.
Of course, THE key to all of this is
Matthew 11:27 in which The Saviour reveals that The TRUTH of this matter
will only be arrived at by revelation from He alone. No matter how
well I explain The TRUTH of the "Divine Nature" you will only get it as it
is revealed to you by The Saviour Himself and not because of my excellence
of words. However, I stand ready to give answer "instant in season and
out" in accordance with The Word and The Spirit ... as always.
This is in fact one of my very favorite
discussions to have when entered into with soberness of mind on both
sides. Admittedly my "three-headed siamese triplet freak" is outside
of that soberness. I came up with that just for SHOCK value on
TruthTalk in the not altogether rare spirit of the list and not a little bit
just for fun.
I respect the intellectual capabilities
of Bill and would be very interested in this discussion with his
input.
