RE: [TruthTalk] Idioms and Figures of Speech

[Slade Henson]

Is asking a question pagan? I merely meant that the "Mother God" thing is pagan. I guess I needed to be a bit more clear. Sorry. Also, I know you don't have a problem, another bad choice of words on my part.   The Father "function" of Abba and the Son "function" of Yeshua is not a static "title." It is what they do. Let me give you an example, Terry.   Esau was the firstborn, but who received the blessing? The second. Why? Because he BEHAVED as if he were the firstborn... therefore we WAS the firstborn. Same thing applies to Isaac and Judah.   Does this make my understanding clear?   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: Terry Clifton Sent: Monday, 27 December, 2004 21.24 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Idioms and Figures of Speech I don't quite understand.  Is it pagan to ask a sensible question? I don't have a problem.  Those who disagree with me have the problem.  They cannot come up with any mother of Jesus that predates Mary.  God does not violate His own rules.  It takes a father and a mother to make a son. Think about that. Terry
