I refuse to scavenge and scrounge around for material
Lance and since you are not willing to be forthright and/or forthcoming
there is no dialogue between us. But I have not
gone anywhere - I am right here whenever you are ready. jt
Therefore, I'll not expect to be hearing from you
on this again. You critiqued it. When asked to identify the content of that
which you critiqued, you disappeared.
Holier than thou attitude eh Lance? I have
not "villified" anything so far. What I am doing is challenging your
belief system which is what this list is all about. OTOH you
frequently criticize and challenge ppl over
who they are which is much, much, worse. If your sacrosanct
"incarnational doctrine" is too holy to be up front and open in the
light of day - then keep it secret. I don't have time to be chasing down all of your theologians and buying their
books. I already have THE BOOK and it's safer to stick with the
Word Himself. jt
So Judy, you had to wait for this to commence
identifying 'holes'? Just acknowledge the truthfulness of this and, we'll
move on. Why do I ask? IMO you've no idea at all what this 'incarnational
system' is and, you breathed a sigh of relief at my having provided you
with an opening.
Look Judy, I'm quite prepared to move on
should you wish not to speak of this further. However, when you villify
something that is important to me and, with such certainty on your
part, I assume you've actually got something to say. IFF you do not then,
kindly refrain from so speaking.
First hole Lance, you will not find an
"eternally preexisting SON" in scripture. He is the Word of God ie
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word
was God" In Proverbs He is the Wisdom of God .. and in other
places "the angel of His Presence" He was the Rock that followed
Israel in the Wilderness and no mention of Him being the "eternal
preexisting son" there. So who declared this to be so? At the
end in the book of Revelation He is called the Lamb and The
Word. So the root of this belief is in rcc creeds.
jt
The Son of God, eternally preexisting,
took on, via an act of the Holy Spirit in His mother, Mary (virginal
conception) humanity so as to Redeem us. Now, if not true, that's what
I'd call 'science fiction'!

If
you would give me your definition of incarnation, I might be able to
grasp what you are saying.
