Even the one 'infallible interpreter' on TT has taken issue
with your Scriptural interpretation(s) on occasion(s).
Many have taken exception to your
non-personalist hermeneutic.
What in the world is this? If we are to communicate
Lance, you will have to use plain-speak
Many take exception to your sacred/secular dichotomy.
And what is this? Separating the holy from the
profane? Being unwilling to call the world sacred in the face
of your belief that it was all assumed in
Christ?
Many take exception over your dualism/gnosticism.
I don't have a "gnosticism" What I do have is a
"walking after the Spirit" and not fulfilling the lusts of the
flesh
Faulty exegesis here Lance.
Many take exception to your unthinking criticisms of persons whom God holds dear.
(Calvin, Barth, Lewis, Tolkien & BOB DYLAN) (Maybe just
you and me on this one, Gary)
God holds the whole unbelieving world "dear" for that
matter (John 3:16) - but when they judge themselves unworthy of eternal
life they exclude themselves from his
Promises. The ones who make it are those who do His will and
who
speak as the "oracles of God"

Check Archives
Lance, it may be wise for you to check the
archives before making these wild accusations.
It's not me doing the painting. It is
you who have me in a corner of your mind labelled
"fundamentalist"
And you ascribe to me all of the beliefs in your
"fundamentalist" card file.
As per the issue of who goes to hell I have
always said the same thing which is "that is not my call"
But you have yet to hear me - do I need a soapbox
and bullhorn? Oh well!! Nothing new under the sun is
there....
Far be it for me to try and tell you anything ...
even when it comes to what I personally believe.
WATCH BELOW AS JUDY ASSISTS LANCE IN THE ART OF INTERPRETATION
OK Judy! Having painted yourself in a corner, just make
yourself comfortable. I'll watch your posts in future for use of the word
'HELL'.
Judy said'For the record, I don't believe that C. S.
Lewis actually knew the Lord'
Lance, having made an incorrect leap in logic,due to
a belief that Judy believed that persons who die while not
knowing the Lord (Lewis is dead), go to hell, thought she'd so
consigned him. I suspect that the operative word herein is
'consigned'. Let me then remove this word and, ask Judy the following
questions:
1. Do you stand by your assessment that csl did not
'know' (define please) the Lord?
Yes I do and if you are scandalized by CSL
Lance, I would say the same about Augustine, Athanasius and Calvin who
called himself an "Augustinian theologian" ... They were not
following the example Christ left for us either by
hunting down and killing heretics. Do
you think the "culture of their day" will excuse them? I can't
imagine having to stand in front of the Lord in that day and say "But
Lord, I hunted down and killed all of these
heretics in your name" (as per Matt 7:21) Tell me, is this doing the
will of the Father? Is this following
Jesus' example? Will He say "Well done thou good and faithful
servant?"
2. Should you be correct then, WHERE IS CSL? (employ
some biblical interpretation, please)
CSL has gone to spend eternity with the one
he served and the Lord Himself will make that determination by either
accepting or rejecting him on that
day.
thanks, Lance
