Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Good News!   Sectarianism DOES INDEED EXIST ON TT!! Please, someone correct either myself or David on this. Further, Linda does indeed say what amounts to, "I am of David". (Linda, please illustrate for us with what frequency you 'amen' David (WOW that was an awesome post, David!) Sorry David, but ya gots at least one disciple. Lance are you saying that you object to any of us publicly agreeing with posts that we think are exemplary? Don’t many of you do that when Jonathan or Bill or someone you agree with posts? This seems like a petty complaint coming from you.   Private interpretation DOES INDEED EXIST ON TT!! Please, someone correct either myself or David on this. Further on this, David, are we reading the same forum? Who among us says: "What I'm about to say that differs with what you say has no biblical foundation whatsoever, as I interpret Scripture."   Am I incorrect in identifying you, Judy and Linda as having a dislike, if not disdain, for 'tradition'? What, as y'all see it, replaces this (tradition) is your (correct) interpretation of Scripture.By 'private' I'd include those who both know what you mean and agree with your interpretation. Lance I have stated before that I value tradition; just not when it supersedes scripture.      Matt 15:3And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?   Matt 15:6 And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.   Mark 7:8"Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."   Mark 7:9 He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.   Mark 7:13 “…thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."   Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.   Izzy
