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

[Judy Taylor]

Bill,   Thank you for sharing your life story along with the photo of yourself and your  lovely family - even the dog looks to be special, what breed is he/she?  Now if I could only join the adoring throng at your 'theological feet' .. we might have a semblance of unity on TT but I don't believe we would be unified around the truth of God's Word.   I'm still trying to figure how you have one dimensionalized God the Father and following the incarnation God the Son then make it sound so good.  I would call John's inner tension a problem with anxiety and a red flag which indicates  there is a problem.  How do you figure this is part of the 'normal Christian life?'    Grace and Peace, Judyt     On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 06:24:18 -0700 "Bill Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Certainly not by me. I've been enjoying your posts and the inner-tension you are describing and working through. It seems to me that that is how we come to know what we believe. It's not fun or enjoyable for the one going through it, but it does appear to be a necessary step in the process of commitment. The apostles certainly did their share of it throughout their earthly encounter with the man from Nazareth.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 12:38 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me It is 11:30 my time.   The post below has 9:17 PM for the time sent  --   something I wrote and sent around 7:30, in fact.

Mr. Taylor, how I do wish to hear more from you on TT. Everyone not included in this remark please feel free to take a 'shot' at me but, there is but one bona fide theologian on TT. INCOMING   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are times, during each day ( I think) that you sit at arms length from another very good choice.  I have learned much from Jonathan and his ability to express his belief is commensurate of Bill's.   I seldom acknowledge Jon's post, but I am one of the first to defend them  ------   proving that they are read and well received (by me.)  There are others, of course, who offer their ideas in a way that are beneficial.   Bill knows this from me, but the strength of his expressed faith is his ability to communicate that faith in full view of the biblical message and have it make sense.   I personally think BillyT needs to complete his PhD and teach  ------   seminary, of course.   We have all heard of a man's man  --   Bill could very well become a teacher's teacher.   John
