Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: A little unexpected theology

[Judy Taylor]

What kind of theology is this Lance?  All it does is "make God into our image"  We are the fallen ones and lying, cheating, cussing, etc. is the nature of the devil.  Jesus died so that we could be free from this - I have not had the desire to lie, cheat, cuss, or steal since I came to Him with my whole heart. The theology below is not from the Spirit of God.  jt   On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 11:15:01 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Barb Annunziello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: March 18, 2005 09:38 > Subject: A little unexpected theology > > > > Hey there.  Thought you would like a little section I came across > in a > novel > > "Carry Me Home", that I was reading.
