If you heard me say that my words make up the sum total of who I am, that was not my intent. Words, honestly spoken, are, nonetheless, an extension of the person. One cannot fully know me without listening to my words (or God's). But, since God does not define His existence (nor do I) in the form of a rough draft, "knowing" Him is a much more involved process. Understanding that He indwells the beleiver on some level adds to the complication. This "complication" is unraveled, over time, via the process of maturity in the Christ of God. God is not something "other than" His words -- but He is something IN ADDITION to His words.

Perry, do you understand that such a defense would arrive at no solution at all!!?? The discussion would just go on and on - as it has in the past. I am not interested in such, any more. In my miond, there is an evil spirit spirit present in such a continue discussion. I have made my point and given at least one defense. Ditto for DM - time to move on. MY words, at least, are an extention of who I am. Maybe no one here on TT agrees but that consideration is of no consequence to my way of thinking on this matter.Jd
