Am I the only one to have noticed that Jt's
responses to posts function on a sliding scale? The 'scale' reflects a
diminishing connection to the content of the post, the more responses there are.
If it were a tactic, it'd be a good one should avoidance be the
objective.
Jt:You actually don't see it do you? Should you
ever wish to understand why some just cry 'enough' then, that's part of the
reason.
Why not ask questions when you just don't
understand? YOU ABSOLUTELY DID NOT UNDERSTAND GARY OR BILL! If David's out there
'lurking', he just might have. Terry did not. Linda surely did not. Kevin COULD
NOT.
Also Judy, why not leave off taking 'pot shots' at
that which you think you're supposed to disagree with even when you don't
apprehend the meaning of what's being said (meant)?

Not a claim Lance; I made a comment having to do with
conjuring up some kind of Jesus by using one's imagination which apparently to
you is normal Christian life and to me is divination. jt
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:'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?

'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"?
