RE: [TruthTalk] The Schizophrenic God

[Slade Henson]

Terry: If Jesus never had anything good to say about the Pharisees, and in fact, warned people about the stuff they were dishing  out ,(Matt.16:6-12), how could they think alike?  slade: The premise for your inquiry is in error. Fix that and the rest will fall into place. Terry: Sorry, but no false premise on this one.  Jesus is never wrong.  We are to beware of what Pharisees teach.  Slade again: That's right. Jesus is NEVER wrong. (Hey.. we agree!!!!!) You are (...but then again, I am wrong often as well... ask David Miller). Reread Messiah so you can get your perspective correct. Do you want me to give some passages I think you've neglected?    Terry said: Question two.  If people in other nations are still in slavery today, why is the Bible not as relevant today as it was when there were slaves in Israel and Rome? Then slade:  Do you own slaves, Terry ?  Again, Terry: No, I do not.  Would not!  Slade Butts in: Exactly my point. You do not own slaves, therefore the passage should be cut out of YOUR Bible unless you can come up with another way of using the text. Terry Continues: But in other places the slave trade thrives.  Can you not see that for those people, both slaves and slave owners, God's word applies to them today as written?  Slade comments: Again, you support my position with this comment. Torah applies as written to those who are in the slave trade. To you, a redaction of sorts is necessary for application... OR you must blot it out of the page (when it comes to personal application).   Slade Continues: Hey, Terry . These multi-threaded threads tend to be a bit confusing. I hope this helps (I think it helps me keep it all straight)!!
