RE: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me

Lance, history “damns” much of what you consider to be “orthodoxy”.  That’s why the thinking Believer doesn’t allow orthodoxy to cloud the issues.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lance Muir Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 5:11 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me   Is this the 'newer/gentler' Judyt? First John took note and, now I do. The past has nought to do with us. I think that each generation ought to scrap completely everything that the prior generation had known. Thereafter, we ought to start from 'scratch'. Each individual 'believer', reading the Scriptures, in the Power of the Spirit, ought formulate 'a Gospel' as 'shown' them.

You're bright this morning Lance.  Since God lives in the "Eternal" Now why must we live in the past?  Note: and BTW it's not just a mind - what we do have is "the mind of Christ"   On Tue, 4 Jan 2005 05:28:07 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: To me "I don't know' is beginning to mean that 'the David', Terry, Izzie, (don't know where the 'Slade contingent' shakes out on this) are not only NOT informed by historic Christianity but, are kinda makin' it up as they go along. After all, if one has a Bible, the Spirit of God and, a mind then, why bother with that which has gone before?   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 03, 2005 19:52 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me   [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 1/3/2005 4:35:46 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I honestly do not know.  I suppose that you could say He became a father when He created angels, and there is some justification for that in scripture.  You could also say He became a father when He created Adam and Eve.  The only certainty I see is that He became the Father of Jesus when His Holy Spirit impregnated Mary.
