Jt's interpretation of Scripture=the doctrines of men DM's interpretation of Scripture=the doctrines of men ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: July 18, 2005 09:42 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Re:John 16:13,14 Believing in them is one thing - of course no one will confess to believing in them, while ATST many are blindly following them.  Any time the clear teaching of God's Word is rejected or reasoned away in favor of some doctrine or other this is taking place.  In fact I experienced it just yesterday in a class where I saw a video explaining why the denomination I attend baptizes babies.  It can't be justified by God's Word and they twist a scripture or two to try and lay the foundation.  I don't understand why we can't just dedicate the babies like Mary & Joseph.  Take them to the temple (?) and consecrate them to God since they can't understand the meaning of baptism and noone can commit their lives for them.  judyt   On Mon, 18 Jul 2005 09:16:50 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: We (here on TT) have gone a long way in proving that unity based on "true" doctrine is not the pathway to unity.   All of the issues listed below were discussions over what the Bible has to say about those particular concerns.   Not one person on this site believes in "doctrines of men."  All are trying to approximate the truth.  If we cannot allow for "unity" to found in the commonality of our search for truth, there will be no unity in Christ.    JD    From: Judy Taylor <jandgtaylor1@juno.com> We lay aside doctrines of men and everything that does not conform us to godliness and holiness and we receive with meekness the "engrafted word" which is able to save our souls. Think about it;  if we do not unite and gather around the truth of His Word - we will never agree on which spirit is the "holy one" because we will have no frame of reference.  judyt   How do we continue when there are so many differences?        Eternal Sonship Trinity Word v Holy Spirit Inspired interpretations works v unmerited grace the place of water baptism tongues as an evidence of the infilling Continuance of apostles and prophets The place and function of the Church Fathers What is "unity." What the hell is an ad hom Holiness and the indwelling Holiness as a gifted consideration The works of James v the works of Paul What is proof texting The  Word of God Christ as the King of the Jews The Incarnate Christ Christ as God v a representative of God The narrow road The place of the apostles in the church Honoring the claim of discipleship The use of context Hermeneutics       I would continue but I am watching "The Quiet Man"  and the greatest big screen fight of all time is about to be shown  (John Wayne and company).       JD
