[TruthTalk] Unilateral Covenant

[Judy Taylor]

From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It occasionally appropriate to speak of one being 'infected' by traditions. Among the participants on TT probaby David stands out as having a gift for teaching. Whenever and where ever he has 'practiced' this gift, he has likely developed a 'following'. In one sense there exists a 'David Tradition'. It happens just that way.   jt: Maybe so, Paul encouraged people under his ministry to 'follow him as he followed Christ' which isn't exactly mindless aquiesance. If Christ is not the foundation then one builds in vain anyway and we are each as individuals responsible before the Lord to have our senses exercised to discern between good and evil. What is wrong with accepting from David what is good? If one hears Jesus speaking through him, this hardly categorizes one as a Davidian does it?  To me one of David's gifts is in asking the right questions so that communication can continue rather than shutting down entirely or becoming offended or obtuse.  judy   From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Judy wrote: > > Peter spoke of the 'vain traditions' in which we were raised > > and we were all raised with them; this is why we need our > > minds renewed by the washing of water with God's Word. > > Right.  I think Lance also was pointing out what you just said, that we have > all been effected by traditions.  You seem concerned that he is not > recognizing the difference between those who have been washed by the water > of the Word and those who continue to be effected by their past traditions. > > Judy wrote: > > I'm sure the traditions Paul spoke of in 2 Thess were traditions > > taught by Barnabus,  himself or other apostles under the New > > Covenant.  Do you have any problems with this concept? > > No problem at all, Judy.  There are good traditions and bad traditions and > we have all been touched by the bad traditions. > > Since you brought up Barnabus, I wonder if Slade or Jeff have ever read the > epistle of Barnabus?  This epistle was included in our oldest Bibles, and it > approaches Torah as being entirely spiritual. > > To be more precise, let me ask a question about Passover observance.  The > Scriptures teach that Jesus is the Passover lamb.  If a person eats the > flesh of Jesus (spiritually speaking) and believes in him as his Passover > lamb, would you consider such a person to be observant of the Torah mitzvat > of keeping Passover? > > Peace be with you. > David Miller. > > > ---------- > "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."  (Colossians 4:6) http://www.InnGlory.org > > If you do not want to receive posts from this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be subscribed.     ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."  (Colossians 4:6) http://www.InnGlory.org   If you do not want to receive posts from this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be subscribed.
