Re: [TruthTalk] God is a relational God: Father, Son, Spirit

[Judy Taylor]

Correction... This is the truth of YOUR gospel Lance and the gospel of those who are in agreement with you. The Son walked among what you call the "human sewer" long before the "incarnation"  He is the Rock who followed Israel in the wilderness, the cloud by day and pillar of fire by night so the big event is not what you like to call the "incarnation" - The big event is the cross.  His becoming an eternal  sacrifice for us so that we could receive the POWER TO BECOME a son of God (John 1:12).  The power of the cross is power over the bondage of sin.    This also was Paul's gospel ie: "We preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness" (1 Cor 1:23)   And since Paul's gospel was approved by those in Jerusalem (they added nothing to him), I think we can safely assume it was the gospel of the other disciples as well.  To intimate that God is willing to fellowship with devils is heresy of the first order.       On Tue, 4 Oct 2005 07:03:09 -0400 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: The Son, via the Incarnation, entered the human sewer then, through His vicarious life, death, descent, resurrection, ascent and, ongoing mediatoral life (via the Spirit), enables us to participate in His relationship with His Father. There is no LIMITED INCARNATION! As 'believers, we  'participate' (in our relationship with Him and with each other) inadequately and incompletely EVERY DAY. This is the reality of the Christian life. Any voice, human or otherwise, who would suggest that this is not the case speaks against the truth of the gospel.
