Subject: [TruthTalk] Unilateral covenant



From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
David: Are you an active/passive participant in the human race? (speaking of
races, I'd say you have a good chance of finishing in the top 10. Should you
ACTUALLY BE PERFECT then, probably in the top 2 or 3)
 
jt: With a wife and five daughters I'd say he's done his bit Lance. Why are you
so disturbed about sanctification and holiness.  If you can believe God to cut
this unilateral (one sided) Covenant then why can't you believe Him to conform
David Miller, Lance Muir et. al. to the image of Christ in this life rather than just
in theory (doctrine)  judy
