He even, IMO, honours, on occasion, both SOME misinterpretations and SOME misrepresentations of His Word.   What basis do you have for the idea you have presented above Lance?   I do believe that much of the fractious nature of TT, with me at the top of the 'fractious list', comes from attempting to accomplish that which simply cannot be done.   Of course it can be done when ppl rightly divide the Word of Truth and agree to do what it says.  The fractiousness is just the old flesh nature raising it's ugly head.  When this is layed on the altar and ppl begin to understand and take walking after the Spirit seriously the atmosphere here will be much different.   HE, JESUS, MAY be uniformly apprehended, whereas our understanding and apprehending of THE TEXT may not.   I challenge you Lance to explain to me how Jesus may be uniformly apprehended along with how you know it is Jesus and not the angel of light you are apprehending.   (I challenge anyone on TT to produce texts which demonstrate otherwise. Proviso: TEXTS WHICH ARE THEMSELVES RIGHTLY INTERPRETED.) From: Judy Taylor   David is not God Lance and neither are you or JD. His written word containing His Promises is what we have been given along with understanding that comes from Him by way of His Spirit.  So.... what Izzy says stands. He honors His Word.   jt     On Wed, 12 Oct 2005 05:48:13 -0400 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: As to the first two (spoken & Incarnate), no. As to the written, yes. I thought David was reasonably clear on this matter. It is, in reality, a matter of some import.     From: ShieldsFamily   Can you separate God and His spoken Word? And His incarnate Word? Or His written Word? His Words are part of Him. iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]   First,   the Bible contains the Word of God .   Secondly,  Jesus and the Bible are two very different things.   Let's  not make an idol of the Book.   It is what it is  --  but it is not something to be worshipped, Christ is.    JD  -----Original Message----- From: ShieldsFamily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 10:15:27 -0500 Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] The TEXT will never be uniformily apprehended!!! I believe the written Word as scripture is just one form of THE WORD of God. It cannot be brushed aside as less than that IMO. izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Miller Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 8:27 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The TEXT will never be uniformily apprehended!!!   Izzy wrote: > Jesus IS the Word.  Neither is "secondary" > to the other; they are one and the same.   Jesus is the Word but Jesus is not the TEXT.  Scripture is a subset of the Word.  The script can be considered secondary to the Logos himself because the world is not big enough to contain all the texts that could be written about Him.  None of this is meant to undermine the authority of Scripture.   Peace be with you.
