I just happen to disagree with you on some of your conclusions, which it seems to me is a reflection not so much of procedural limitations, but of control beliefs -- our starting points. I would like to have a discussion sometime (although it'll have to wait awhile) about epistemological humility as it relates to the study of Scripture. It seems to me that we all need growth in this area, with the exception maybe of Debbie, who can be a great example of this to the rest of us. The intent of this study would be to actually get down to discussing whether or not it is even possible to do "exegesis " -- as it is assumed by our "teachers" that we can. Put in question form: Is it truly possible to examine a text and "pull from it the author's intent," while doing this from an entirely neutral point of view, i.e., without the influence of one's control beliefs to guide the process. Hence the necessity of epistemological humility, for it will take much of that to even approach this topic.   Anyway, I kind of got off track there. You are an astute theologian/scholar, David, and a very gifted communicator.   God's blessings,   Bill    ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org> Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 7:28 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Apologetic for the eternal sonship of Christ > What then, is your role within your own house church?
