If one notes the fuller definition of 'liar', Judy,
one can't fail to identify such on TT. Bearing in mind what I just said, that
might (I say 'might') even include you. What then?
God, IMO, is comfortable with you being a cultural
luddite so relax on the 'entertainment' front.

Why of course Lance, these are the ppl who are epistemologically the same
as you, so why not?
On another note. Yesterday there was an interview with the late Ann
Bancroft in our local paper and when asked to explain her ability to play such
diverse roles, she told the Virginian-Pilot in 2001 "To be an actress, you
have to be a liar" - so there you are. Why waste God's time
watching and quoting 'good liars?'
Within the 'Three-Personed God'. It is
'mediated' to us by The Spirit' through The Scriptures. Humankind
(women/men) must speak of that which we come to believe (Truth).We are not
the final arbiters. What indeed is 'A Proper Confidence'? On TT, I saw it
(epistemological humility) best exemplified in Bill, Caroline and Debbie.
We do not decide upon a Truth. You do, we don't.
The Holy Spirit leads us into ALL Truth.
Your doctrines are repugnant
You are the personification of them and therefore have not come to a
settling of what is and what aint!
The Bible decides upon a Truth, we align ourselves to it. You align
to your own ideas.
You have no final authority, other than yourself.
Every way of a man is right in his own
eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto
ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your
hearts[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
When we decide upon a "truth," finalize that in our mind and
even institutionalize the concept, we close the door to further
examination. With that door closed, we are shut off
from amending our point of view. We stop growing and declare
to all who will listen, "I have arrived by the grace of God, of
course." On the occasion that we institutionalize the
matter, we close the door for re-examination to all others
-- a kind of excathedra statement. The evangelical
church has done this with her doctrine of
"inspiration." It has so formalized the teaching as to make
it even dangerous to openingly disuss other possiblities to "verbal and
plenary." A disciple, new to the faith of the
Evangelicals, must quickly learn what can be questioned and what
cannot if he/she is to remain within the fellowship.
Perhaps this is true in the high church as well
-- I do not know.

JD Paul is surely NOT against knowing but knowing that is
final
So you say.
Then I can never really know if what you are saying even now is
true.
Why are you always looking to talk people out of knowing the
truth?
Do you want them to end up like you, questioning everything?
Or so you can then become the one (the authority) to point them in
to the way right behind you?
Prov 22 That I might make thee know the
certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the
words of truth to them that send unto thee
Maybe that is why you struggle with addictions.
JN 8:32 And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you
free.

It has occurred to me that if we speak and write with the view in
mind that we at the beginning of another day of learning, our
hearts and minds will be more open to what God has instore. Perhaps our doctrinal
statements should not be "as if written n stone.' But
reflective of the growth that will begin again with the start of a new
day.
We would do less fighting and more growing.
That is what I Cor 8:1-3 is
saying, ---- is it not? Paul is
surely NOT against knowing but knowing that is final, a closed systems
of knowledge.
