You have a "huge" bias toward the President
of the USA. I even bought a magazine I have no use for just
for
an article in it on the liberal view of George
W. to try to understand the mindset of ppl like yourself but I wasted
my money because it didn't help. I still
find no rationality, reason, or ground for liberal hatred toward
George W.
We are presently at our daughter's house
in Austin TX and a family in her neighborhood have a sign in their front
yard that reads
"Luv Ya Dubya"
Which I find much more Christian. Don't
you?

Hi
John:
I don't think either Izzy or I am saying what you appear to be
responding to. I have no idea what your "unbiblical doctrine of holiness and
perfectionism" is, probably a CofC thing. The scriptures teach that "without
holiness it is impossible to please God" and that "without holiness noone
will see the Lord" So what do you have against it?

What's wrong with accepting the fact that
"righteousness" is a gift bestowed upon us, not something that is earned
through obdience (Romans 4)

As for Greek
tenses and verbs - the Holy Spirit can communicate with or without them -
all Greeks are not saved are they?
And John:
Judy --
what in the world are you doing? Look -- I go into a bakery and
order an English muffin. The counter help says "We hate the
English people and do not serve them." What would be the very next
thing a sane person would do -- run like hell for the next
story AND AND AND hope the crazy counter help does not follow
you.
You combine Greek grammar and
unsaved Greek people to argue that rules of grammar make no difference in
biblical study. That makes sense to you !!!
You make fun of "bias." Yet, clearly and obviously, in a
painful sense, bias is all you have left in this disagreement. There
are boundaries to our disageemnets. One of them is "what
the Bible says." AND YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU
REJECT THE GRAMMATICAL RULES THAT GOVERN THE LANGUAGE OF THE MESSAGE.
And that is what you are doing -- just to keep from saying that
you are wrong.
I am not going to argue this point.
If we do not the good sense to understand that grammar is not the work of
the devil, then the discussion is too wierd for me.
John
