The only reason that I even pursued this
in the least is because it addresses so succinctly the
hypocrisy of your continued putdowns of Christian theologians. You
continually, incessantly attack any scholar mentioned by us on TT. Any time
another theologian is mentioned you add his name to an ever-growing list of
men whom you view as ungodly:
jt: I don't recall every calling
them "ungodly" or evaluating their characters in any way Bill. When did I do
this?
For example, on 12/22 you wrote,
"Understanding God's Word does not come by way of Polyani, Newbegin, C.
Baxter Kruger, J.B. Torrance, or Lance," and then on 12-24 you added a
couple more names to the list: "How very sad that we can not
allow the scriptures to speak and the Holy Spirit to give us
understanding without incessantly wading through what Augustine,
MacArthur, Polyani, Barth, Baxter Kruger, and Torrance et al think about it
giving their words more deference than the Word of God."
jt: Do you interpret the above as
calling all of these people "ungodly?" I think you miss my point. Will
have to find a better way to communicate.
This goes on over and over and over
again, as everyone on TT well knows.You write these
nasty things, Judy, but at the same time you will cover up the fact
that you too are benefiting from the scholarship of Christian theologians.
What makes Dake any more authoritative than any of the rest of these guys?
Why is it okay for you to benefit from his insight, when it is so upsetting
to you if others benefit from the insight of other theologians?
jt: To begin with my intent
is not nastiness Bill and Dake is not a theologian. He worked for many years
on an annotated Bible which includes a lot of lists, some of them I like,
others I disagree with... Also Finis Dake was a spirit filled man which I
believe gives one more insight into certain truths. It is not Dake who
is authoritative it is the Word of God.
What upsets me much more than the fact
that you plagiarized -- something we have probably all done at one time or
another -- is the hypocrisy, the deceit, the dishonesty
of it all. I hope, Judy, that you will stop insulting us with your ad
hominem attacks against these distinguished brothers in Christ; it is
beneath you to do that.
jt: You like to rub it in don't
you Bill.. in spite of the fact that I have dealt with it already. I'm
sure glad God is not like that. judyt
Sincerely,
Bill
OK Bill,
You have made your point; I am sorry for this
and I will in future give honor where honor is due.
PS: Do you spend any time considering whether
or not these issues are true Bill or is the most
important thing
who says
what?
Jesus was not ONLY a son. He was also our
Prophet, Priest, and now King.
Why pidgeonhole Him into an eternal
son?
judyt
Thanks, Judy. Now that you have made this
public, may I point out that you got more than just "scriptural
references" from Dake?
I am sorry it came to this. I will not
again assume that you will read between the lines.
Your brother,
Bill
