Good-bye for now, Judy. I thought as much. Thanks
for making clear what most on TT already know. There is no wish on my part to
embarrass you. IMO you can handle that just fine on your own. People like you,
David and Kevin just search the internet so as to have it speak, like a
ventriloquist's dummy, for that which you in no way understand
yourself.

You first Lance.... You're always requiring of others
what you are not willing to do yourself.
First you prove that you understand what I am about.
You keep calling me a "fundamentalist" which I am not.
So far as I'm concerned what you don't understand you
stereotype and card file or give a title and placement.

Jt asks 'what would the point be?' The POINT
would be that when you say 'you understand only too well' that you're
speaking the truth and not 'blowin' smoke'..
What would the point be? Do I have
something to prove? jt
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. judyt
So the ressurection story developed over time from a
legend?
A tall tale?

wrote:
'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"?
