Re: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth

When you, David, Kevin et al SELECT TEXTS which you deem appropriate for any issue under discussion, you are interpreting, teaching, imagining..God's own answers to that which is being spoken of. I do not believe that you've ever 'seen' that, nor do I believe that you ever will 'see' that. IMO it's not complicated. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: March 01, 2005 06:54 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth I don't demonize any part of the body per se Lance but without spiritual discernment everyone is open to deception. Look at how the adversary uses the "imagination" and John Lennon's song is a perfect example.  God does not reveal Himself to mankind through their fallen imaginations. Nor does He reveal His Word to us in this way.  Faith imagination is a misnomer.  How do you know the Jesus you conjure up is not the "angel of light?"  God  will either hide or reveal Himself to whomsoever He wills - and He hides Himself from the proud but gives grace to the humble.  jt     On Tue, 1 Mar 2005 06:20:09 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jt:'I don't want a Jesus of my own imagination..' 1. Please don't demonize the imagination. It comes into play in all of our thinking (theologizing). The kind of 'interpreting' that you, David et al do on a regular basis.   2. Therefore, like it or not, YOU DO HAVE A JESUS OF YOUR OWN 'IMAGINING'.  From: Judy Taylor G, you sound just like my mother who, last time I was with her was in total unbelief and I have no reason to believe things have changed since then.  She told me one would have to have a good imagination to believe the Bible.  This is the fruit of liberal unbelieving scholars and clergy on the radio and in her Church which BTW has lost it's candlestick and is getting ready to close the doors and auction the building.  God will not be mocked and ppl always reap what they sow.  I don't want a Jesus of my own imagination who would just be another antichrist figure.  judyt     On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 22:04:52 -0800 (PST) Kevin Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: So the ressurection story developed over time from a legend?
