It's
now clear that you do not read my posts for all the answers are
there... in
triplicate. I said [in the post you are referring] "You are
incapable of
understanding me and I accept this fact and after this email, I
will waste
your time no more." -- slade
jt: Slade, do I detect an "attitude?"
slade says: Sorry, Judy. I can't bless you with that one. I have
a TON of school work to do and I seem to be able to communicate through that
medium but not with you. You and Glenn Tabor are/were very hard nuts for me to
crack (idiom only... not an insult). We are to give a good answer, but we also
can't be having pearls trampled either. At some point, one must back off and
wait for a more opportune time. I have all the time in the world (but... more
later than now).
Actually I do read all of your posts more
than one time. I even print
them so that I can read without the glare of the computer screen. It is becoming
increasingly apparent to me that I have been assuming some things that may not be true. Are you Jewish yourself Slade?
Have you been born again, or born
of the Spirit?
From anyone else, I would take your last question as an insult
(i.e., If he can't see things the way I do, he can't have the Truth
Spirit like I do). I will answer both of your questions in the
affirmative.
I believe I've asked these questions
before. If you will give me a straight answer
it should clear up some issues for me.
Slade why would you assume I am incapable of understanding what you write?
Because I tell you things and you think I am saying
something completely different. When you agree with me you agree until you
discover you misunderstood me.
Is your Hebrew mindset so hard to relate
to? It can be. Some have difficulty
with it and some do not. Is it ignorance? I don't mean to be a smart alec, but what do you mean by
this? Please define ignorance and where does the finger point? I think I've
been insulted. Lack of education? Perhaps I am an idiot savant.
Well then
slade, I don't think you are alone on this point!!
or what you Jonathan and Lance perceive
to be my Hellenistic/Greek
mindset that's the problem? The dichotomy between western and eastern
logic/thought/mindset has caused the death of millions. It's also a hard
hurdle to jump.
None of these things were a hindrance to
the people Paul and Barnabus ministered to in Antioch, Iconium, Lycaonia, and Lystra (except for the
unbelieving Jews who wanted to stone them)
and the same Holy Spirit anoints God's Word today,
so if you are writing or speaking
the oracles of God, there should be no problem.
That's because Paul's main audience were Jewish people with
the Eastern mindset. There were problems between the Hellenists and the
Judeans BECAUSE of this lack of understanding. Hellenists looked
down on the Easterners as uneducated, barbarians, backward thinkers,
etc.
Judy is in
GREEN
slade is in
FUCHSIA
Here's the answer to one of your questions (Do you give the oral Torah tradition the same authority as
scripture?) (this comes from a previous post):
-
Never have you ever heard slade say that the Oral Torah came
from the Mountain
-
Never once did I say the Oral Torah
carries the same weight as the Written Torah. No one... not even a SINGLE
Rabbi that I know... believes this.
-
I do not believe the Traditions of the Elders [Oral Torah]
came from Sinai
As I said... in triplicate.
