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

[Slade Henson]

Are Jews no longer Jewish when they accept their very Jewish Savior? Does anyone agree 100% with what their church, home group, denomination, etc. has to say regarding doctrine or beliefs? For instance, our ministry is affiliated with another rather large ministry and I don't believe everything they teach or believe. Do ALL Baptists believe they can't dance, can't drink, can't play cards, can't go to movies? Do all Pentecostals believe in Jesus Only, or that women have to have long hair and wear it in a beehive thing and wear long dresses? Do all Plymouth Brethren believe they have to take communion every Sunday? Are ALL 7th Day Adventists veggie heads and do they ALL believe Helen G. White is a prophet completely without error? Do ALL Catholics believe in the Immaculate Conception or her perpetual virginity? Do ALL Mormons have more than one wife? Do ALL Amish refuse to ride in cars? Do ALL Muslims hate Jews and Christians?   Kay -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Dave Hansen Sent: Sunday, 09 January, 2005 18.12 To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 1/9/2005 6:59:03 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: it is not because of his faith  --   it is because of the faith of Christ Jesus Himself.   There is salvation in none other.  On that we all agree.  Does Dave Hansen agree? DAVEH:  Yes. John So be it  !!!!   How can I conclude that Dave Hansen is not a brother ( in the grandest sense of that word) when this confession is so?    The only rebuttal, as I see it, is to effectively argue that "brotherhood" is based upon doctrinal agreement that finds him no longer a Mormon DAVEH:   ???   Not sure why you would deny me Mormonism while maintaining Protestantism, JD.  Is that not a double standard? but allows me to continue as a Pentecostal and and Kay as a Messianic and Bill as a Bricklayin Fool For Christ and Jonathan/Lance as Canadian Mega Liberals !!   Dave will never agree with us "protestants," DAVEH:  Seems like I already did....at least in one aspect......that without Jesus, there would be no salvation.   nor will any of us convert to Mormonism. DAVEH:   Hey....no need to draw hasty conclusions, JD!    :-D    Nor will I ever be whatever Judy is  (I truly do not know her denominational tie) or a Baptist as is BillyT.   But the fact embraced in the above "confession" binds us together in a way that cannot be destroyed. DAVEH:   Perhaps.....But I suspect you are making a lot of TTers rather uncomfortable right now, JD.  Very few TTers are going to feel good about getting chummy with a Mormon boy. Why so   ------------   because we are only passively involved in this reconciliation that names Christ as the Author and Finisher.   Joseph Smith is not that  --   neither is Charles Finney,  the Pope,  Calvin, Luther and the like.  JD -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
