Jt says that 'the perichoresis
theologians..don't..know God'. I know some of them as do Bill, John, Debbie,
Caroline and Jonathan. We are IMO in sync when we say that they most assuredly
DO know God.
We are back to my comments from yesterday. What is
the point of such exchanges? How do they rise above 'Oh ya?'
Some very perceptive comments have issued from the
hearts and minds of such as Bill, John, Debbie, Caroline and, Gary.
I perceive you, David and Iz to be true and
faithful followers of the One True God through Christ. Are you all somehow
spiritually disabled when it comes to discerning the same concerning those named
above?

Of course you don't think it is to be avoided JD
because you embrace the concepts the "perichoresis" theologians
promote.
However, I don't believe they know God or that the
4th Century creed makers had an accurate view of Him either. Knowing Him
is important so far as relationship is concerned. jt
I understand, Judy. I think you did not address my post and
the "dance" as a way of _expression_ or life -- not an
actual four-step saunder across the
floor. And It is not complicated, at all -- not to
me. If the passages listed below present this happy ontological
alternative -- surely it is an easy thing to see God, His
Son and His Spirit as intertwined with each other in a fully
joyous _expression_ -- no negatives whatsoever
-- King David could have easily described this as a
dance. I do not see it as a concept to be
libeled or
avoided. From: Judy Taylor

We are starting to complicate things again JD. I have no problem with choirs and/or
dancing as an act of worship
by creation in honor of Creator - didn't
Jesus say that if we fail to praise that the rocks would cry out?
However,
the Godhead dancing with itself or dancing with
each other is another matter entirely and I would like to see
some
clear precedent for this in God's Word.

Well, I think that if you can have your "symphony,"
others can have their "dance" (of life). Your choice of words has no more authority
others. DM imagines "great dance" to be "unbiblical" rather than "non-biblical." I
see no such distinction
here. And let us not forget that all English words are
approximations of the original language. There are no
holy English words.
Lam 5:15 is the contrast of two life styles -
one of rejoicing and joy (the dance) and the other of sadness and dismay (mourning).
Psalms 30:11 speaks to this very way of life - of joy and
happiness -- dancing, if you will. More than
this, Bill has given some very good comments, exegetical/biblcial comments in past postings. JD From: Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]
No JD, I know you are not referring to
dancing in Church or the kind of worshipful dance David was
doing when Saul's daughter judged him in her
heart. Those kinds of dances have precedent in truth
The kind you, Lance, and Bill promote are nowhere
to be seen in the Word of God and is some figment
of a 4th Century religious imagination.

Judy -- do you think we speak of dancing church when we speak
of the Great Dance?
JD From: Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]
David danced as an act of worship and so did
Miriam; I hardly see this "perichosis" in the same
light
What are the Godhead worshipping one
another?
Do you dance in church 'G?"
I know what the scriptures below mean ..I
don't see what any of them have to do with a "dance"..
"..my
feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
but movin' and a-groovin' does
not satisfy my soul
so
when i'm down, i go up on my
own
when i
feel moved, i dance before the throne
(just
like David).."
