Re: [TruthTalk] Basis of Unity

[Judy Taylor]

Here we go again - With you it always comes back to the personal doesn't it Lance and the bottom line is - only a few exalted theologians know much - do you see Torrance, Polyani, and those who promote the theory of perichoresis as "flawed interpreter/articulators" also?  And what about the Pope?  Let God' be true and every man a liar. When one is grounded in truth they recognize it when it is spoken by another believer no matter who the person is because it's not about persons - it's about HIM.        On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 08:50:09 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Revelation!? When God speaks to me saying:Listen to...(fill in the blank) for they alone interpret and articulate everywhere and always correctly..then I'll offer a hearty Amen!  Until then 'dear' Judy you are but one more flawed interpreter/articulator of His Word. But then, you really didn't think more highly of yourself than that anyway, did you?

You tell me you have a different revelation and I'll tell you - you have "another Jesus"   IMO they and, many others censured by you qualify for participation in His Faithfulness.   Apparently His Faithfulness has a very broad scope in your eyesight Lance. However, since He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; maybe it would be good to recheck His criteria.  I believe you are overlooking some ifs, ands, and buts.   Now, as to whether they do or not, I'd simply add the following; they need not subscribe to your (or my) traditional understanding of the Gospel for this to be true.Everyone on TT interprets and articulates aberrantly on occasion.   Yes but God's Word remains the same and He is the one who sets the boundaries. I agree with Him and the way I understand it this is what qualifies one to enter His Kingdom.  You must call sin what He calls it and deal with it on His terms to be a partaker of His righteousness.       From: Judy Taylor   The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man was never a Christian concept; this comes out of Freemasonry an antichrist system which in turn came out of the ancient pagan mystery religions.  The criteria for being kin to Jesus is "doing the will of the Father"  Upon what basis or why would you include the Pope and Bruce Cockburn in this Lance?   On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 04:28:10 -0800 (PST) Kevin Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: No Brothers of mine maybe yours!  The Pope has been called his Hellishness & AntiChrist for good reason Maybe a few who call themselves Evangelical (ECT) and the Nothingarians would speak of this ANTI Christ as a Brother. Some kin of yours? Lance Muir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You are wrong concerning Bruce Cockburn and the Pope as THEY ARE YOUR BROTHERS IN CHRIST. IFF you are a believer then, you have no choice in this matter. From: Kevin Deegan UNITY IN THE FAITH The Key here is "in the faith" not outside it or by bringing the world the Flesh & the Devil in That seems to be todays popular notion of Unity. How else can we have Unity with Pagan notions? There is a Biblical doctrine of separation, it is not popular. We are not to be yoked with unbelievers. I care not to have Unity with Bruce Cockburn, the POPE, LDS & every false way Walter Cradock was a Welsh Nonconformist preacher or Puritan who was decried by his enemies as a "Bold, Ignorant Fellow"
