Funny thing, Judy, I've always though of you as
your own 'FANCY THEOLOGIAN'. Over time one cannot but note that others have
thought similarly. The 'Judy theology' is generally well researched and, on the
whole, readable.

And I've been attempting to say to you that
there is such a thing as objective truth a light that shines
into the darknes of the unregenerate human
heart which is the Word of the Living God untainted
and
unfiltered through human reason and/or
fancy theologians .... which, when we choose
to abide therein
will make us free.
That, Judy, is what I've been attempting to
say, apparently with minimal success.
Every deceived person believes themselves
to be "in the truth"
Deceived people don't know they are
deceived - this is the nature of the beast.
I, for one, have no difficulty at all
criticizing the'deceived' as you put it, Judy.
The difficulty is that some who are, in
reality deceived, believe themselves to be 'in the truth' do they
not?
Meaning that all evangelism and preaching the
gospel should cease because we can not be
critical of anyones beliefs because this is
criticizing them personally?? IOW let the deceived
stay captive to the devil. Lord forbid
that we should offend anyone. Is Jesus a stumbling
stone
and a rock of offense ... or has he now
become fashionable in his new "living" form?
You really don't get it
do you? If I were to criticize your beliefs then, I am criticizing
your person
OK so we should not criticize beliefs.
But criticizing the person is OK in your
book
Good ol Self Refutin Lance...
Kevin, this so-called
anti-Mormon kick you're on seems to be about all you've got
goin' for ya..

No you wouldn't be because you
don't know my person. What you are talking about is
religious/racial bigotry
which is a misnomer. It is
possible to love the person and reject their belief. God did
it when he sent Jesus
Jesus did it when he hung on the
cross - and we can do it as His Ambassadors in a world full of sin
and strife.
You really don't get it do you? If I were to
criticize your beliefs then, I am criticizing your person and,
vice versa. Kevin et al do the same with the
Mormons.
I've asked you previously. I shall ask you
once again. Is there a great gulf between who you are and what
you say (believe)?
Now if you had said Joseph
Smith & Brigham Young your observation may have carried
some weight
Lance. However, I've
yet to see Kevin comment on Blaine or DaveH personally,
it's their false belief system he takes issue with
and in doing this he confronts them with their own
contradictions.
OR YOUR OPINIONS OF BLAINE & DAVEH
THAT'S CALLED ANTI MORMONISM!! Come to think of it, Kevin,
this so-called anti-Mormon kick you're on
seems to be about all you've got goin' for ya..
This list is called Truth Talk
Lance. It is not all about your opinions
or me.
OR Lance's opinions OF you and others!

Let me attempt something, Judy. WITH
WHAT FREQUENCY THEN, DO YOU EXHIBIT THIS 'TRUE
HIMILITY'?
True humility Lance is
saying what God says about a situation or subject;
personal opinion, even
while grovelling while
saying it is inverted pride. When a preacher
gets out there with a megaphone
and accurately speaks the
oracles of God .. that is true humility. Or of
one speaks them to a friend in
private - this is also
laying down their own life. Because God's Word
is that around which the battle
rages.
There are two on TT who
regularly write reflecting humility. I'm suspect
of one of them but, that's because I don't,
perhaps.
I
see. Is this then the sin of the parents,
or the world, or the parson with low
esteem?
How would this condition add to or
subtract from one's ability to do what Jesus
suggests in the sermon on the mount? I am
too lazy to look it up but it seems to me that
He came to town meek and lowly, riding on a
colt. Possibly as an example to us?
To
be quite honest, I do not see low esteem as a
problem on TT. Do
you?

Self rejection
happens when children are either rejected
by parents or have overly critical parents.
When
one is raised in
an unloving atmosphere they tend to accept the
lie that this is because they are unlovable
making
it difficult to
understand or receive the love of
God.
The world adds to the
problem with unrealistic standards especially in
the area of perfection and body image -
thinness for women and
Gk perfection for men and too many times this
becomes a
graven image or idol
and
people reject
themselves when they don't measure up rather
than giving thanks for being fearfully and wonderfully
made.
Could you explain what you mean by self
rejection?

Hi Terry,
I don't know that any
of us would say that they are "self satisfied"
in fact not even Paul himself said
that.
What he did say is that
he didn't know of any sin but that did not mean
he was justified completely before
the Lord. I would
say the same. At this point in my walk I
see self rejection just as sinful as the
ignorance
that comes with
pride... either way it is all self, self, self,
self. judyt
