to voices from the past?
I really should already be
gone but I wanted to add a comment -- my ego constrains me!!
The
reason why we include the 400 (or more) in our search for truth is rather
obvious to me and Judy knows this scripture before I am able to finish the
text:
Eph 4:11ff " And He gave some as apostles, and some
as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers for the
equipping of the saints [in] their work of service, to the building up of the
body of Christ [and will do so] until we attain to the unity of The Faith and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man [or woman], to the measure
of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ."
As I see it,
Bill and others quote whoever for the same reason we have preachers and
teachers. There is a progressive logic that presents Bill with his
theological conclusions, more so than a Bible thumper such as myself, but, and
it is clear to me, in the final analysis, brother Taylor insists that his
conclusion measure up to the biblical message as he understands that
message. In other words, he is as Bible based as any one. However,
the observation still applies that when we think we know something, we do not
yet know it as we ought.
Gotta
go

jt: These are who you quote Bill and no I didn't just want to

stay with the issues and leave off the personal offenses? (that is taking or
giving personal offense) If you are a sincere seeker after Truth you should
not be offended to have some of these ideas challenged.

I do not look to the Scribes
for wisdom, Judy; neither do I look to Charles Ryrie. On this occasion I
agree with the Scribes over Ryrie. How did you miss that from what I wrote?
Oh, I get it: you just wanted to insult me.
