Jt says 'I understand only too well what is being
discussed and where we differ'. Do you indeed?
Please take both Gary's and Bill's posts on KBarth
and, translate them into your own words thus demonstrating this claim of yours.
IFF you do I shall offer the most profound apology
for underestimating your 'discernment'. Please do not offer some
off-putting explanation for not doing so. This is an excellen occasion for you
to put up or..

You flatter yourself Lance. No snow, nor is
there smoke and mirrors (on this end anyway).
I understand only too well what is being discussed
and where we differ because I see both sides.
You see the human side only as do your theologians of
preference. jt
We've got snow this morning. I've shovelled for
the last 2 hours. When I do so I look to clear a path for others to walk on.
It is foolish to shovel onto your own head.
You completely turned what was meant into
something else. This is nothing new for you, Judy. When the snow gets deep
you should call for help.
Humility is defined as
agreeing with God and saying what He says about whatever is in
question. jt
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
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'.
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.

So the ressurection story developed over time from a
legend?
A tall tale?

'saga' and 'legend' are types of history, the
event/s (or Event/s) of which gives rise to
'stories'
pastors tell ppl stories, in this case the story
of the resurrection
it's like the story of JCs birth--in KJ English
someone writes: ~ 'now the birth of Jesus was on this wise' or
Jesus' birth came about like this...
such stories do not falsify such events (with a
capital 'E'); they let you imagine the truth involved..kinda
like a good (B Dylan:) song
So maybe you could explain ..
these quotes, why is the ressurection a
"Legend"?
