Yeah, I'm not too comfortable with that explanation either. But what about yours? You are picking up on why I asked Terry if he was a KJV man. Does the Bible contain the status of personhood -- in other words a "He" and not an "It"?   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Deegan To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 2:41 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Mormons and Street Preachers Read the next verse Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Here is a good example of a Sodomite twisting the scriptures http://www.truluck.com/html/jesus_and_the_bible.html JESUS LIBERATES US FROM BIBLE ABUSE! Jesus sets us free from the idolatrous use of the Bible to hurt ourselves and others.  Only God is absolute.  God in Christ is "The word of God made human (flesh)" (not words) in John 1:14.  The Bible never calls itself the word of God.  The Bible calls Jesus the word of God and the one who sets people free from sick abusive use of scripture to hurt people.  Be free!  Follow Jesus as your guide to all things.  Let the Spirit of Jesus guide you into a healthy use of the Bible for spiritual recovery from Bible abuse and from sick and oppressive religion. Jesus accepted and included all people.  To use the Bible as a weapon to judge, condemn and exclude people is to abandon the Spirit and the example of Jesus.

Hmmm. "John, you seem to ignore the fact that ..."   Perhaps not in so many words, you didn't. But then who's counting? I assumed that to ignore facts is to be ignorant. Of course you only missed my point.   Bill :>) ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 9:51 AM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Mormons and Street Preachers   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Taylor Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 10:10 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Mormons and Street Preachers   "I become all things to all men, that by all means I might save some."
