In you statment below, you initiate your "discussion" with falsehood -- the claim that I am confused and you are not. Grade school combat tactics. Just plain silly. Why did Bill leave -- and probably Caroline and Debbie? They got of the tactic "win at all costs." You , especially, have potential, what with your eduational backgroudn (PhD and all). But you argue like a school kid. "Here's the probelm, John -- I am better than you." "Aaahh, no you're not ?" "YES I AM AM !!!' " No you're not." "Yes I am too."See the second grade tactic.? David says "Oh, now I see the crux of the matter: I follow the Bible and John doe not." Great response. Perhaps intellectually challenging to some in your camp, but it is a response that avoids the conflict, builds you up in your own eyes (and Izzy's -- she will now say that I was defeat simply because you said I was confused.)In P3, you argue that you are in the apostles teaching and I am not. You do not teach justification apart from obedience to law. You do not teach Christ as a substitute for in terms of faith and righteousness. You do not believe the law to be a "burden" although Peter felt this way. You think hell in somewhere near Compton. You do not know the fdifference between the old sacrifices and the new. You consider yourself an apostles on a par with Paul and Peter !!! You tout the rationalism of your thinking and call it enlightenment. I could go on --------------------- or would you prefer discussing the issue?Dinner time. Look for Post II in this series, coming to your house in the near future.JD||
