You can twist it to mean anything you want, Judy. But "scriptures says what scripture says." Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, it is one of your favoirite things to say. So why doesn't it work for me, as well?
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
C'MON JD, Who scripture twists? If you use any scripture at all, most of the time we get book citations or personal revelation from you. Besides doctrine should not be built on ONE lone verse anymore than a doctrine should be built on a verse that is a question. Such as we see with "what shall they do that are baptised for the dead?" that our Necromancing Mormon friends are so fond of.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

You obviously don't know what it says JD; so how about laying aside Jeeves, Kruger, and NT Wright and spending some time in God's Word. You need to study the scriptures - rather than memorize; there are a lot of different words for fear in there and they all mean something slightly different. Why let all those Greek books sit and gather dust?
I assume you refer to Galatians 3:26-27. How is it that you did not know that the translation for "baptizo" is immersion? How is it that you did not knowing that in this immersion, there is a process implicit to the word translated "put on" (as in "have put on Christ.'")? And why, oh why, do you even want to deny that righteousness/holiness comes from this process and and not -- ultimately -- from your own efforts?
I am a living testimony to this fact. And -------- there are others, many others, who have this same knowledge.
More than this -- you did not answer my question. Here iit is again:

Recently, I have seeen Tozer quoted as well as the evil Bonhoeffer. Recently, I have seen your effort at "word study" (ala Strong's ) . So, my question above is increasing in significance.
My study habits -- again, you speak without knowledge.
JD
