RE: [TruthTalk] Idioms and Figures of Speech

Slade is right Terry.  You are being completely pagan here and above all talking absolute nonsense.  God is not violating a rule (as you call it) that humans function under by not having a mother.  That is called anthropological theology (man to God).  It uses what we experience and then slaps it onto God making Him experience exactly what we experience.  True Christianity works the other way around (theological anthropology – God to man).  Using your line of reasoning you could ask, Who was the Father’s father or mother?  Who was the Spirit’s mother?  That makes just as much logical sense as asking who was the mother of Jesus that predates Mary?  Shall we ask who His grandmother was as well?  Complete and utter nonsense.   It astounds me that the fundamentalists on this forum (Terry, Izzy, Judy and David) are all disagreeing with what has been considered one of the more important articles of faith by orthodoxy.  It is the liberals (Bill, Lance, John, and myself) along with the Messianic Jews (Slade, Kay, and Jeff) who are having to teach you what you should already be rock solid on.  This should be your bread and water.  Instead you cannibalize your own faith.  It is a sad day when even the fundamentalists have no idea what they believe and why.  I keep pinching myself and hope that I am dreaming.  Alas, I am not.   Jonathan   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Clifton Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 9:24 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Idioms and Figures of Speech   Slade Henson wrote:     I who has always been the eternal mother?    Completely pagan.
