These are not demands. You make a claim on your own
behalf. You are asked to back up this claim. You say that you won't do it.I
believe that what just happened here is in need of little in the way of
interpretation. It is certainly not ironic.

Lance I've got to go out and won't be back until
later today lest you misinterpret my silence.
I find it ironic that you - the one who comes in with
the one liner and then retires until the noise dies down
would make these kinds of demands. You who
normally speak in obscure unintelligible sentences (to those who don't spend
all of their times watching movies that is). jt
Jt's 'slip slidin' away' once again. When your
asked ANYTHING with some specificity, you just turn the tables thus,
critiquing the one who asks you a genuine question.
Will you:
1. Demonstrate my meaning?
2. Address the issue therein?
Please put up or......
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.
jt: You don't have to "believe
me" Lance since I'm not looking for followers. However, I do think it
tragic that you know so much about movies and lines in movies and so
little about the Word of God which shows me clearly which type of wisdom
has your full attention. Obviously you are not involved with taking
thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ but rather walking in the
counsel of the ungodly and sitting in the seat of the scoffer (with regard
to DM anyway) 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"?
