I also speak, almost daily in our bookstore, with those espousing a variety of views on a number issues. I never sidestep any of them. I've never seen Judy budge a cm on any issue. I gave this 'blowing smoke' explanation to Perry with respect to engaging DM for the very same reason. You may come to whatever conclusion you wish as I simply don't have the energy to engage people who appear intractable. cd: Speaking of myself-for what that is worth- I have found that prayer helps as God has to impart wisdom but I have concluded that He doesn't force this wisdom on those who don't want it in the first place. Trying different approaches may also help-this seems to keep Satan on his toes-we wouldn't want him to become bored now would we:-)The hardest thing for any Christian to do is place self in the background as I find myself to have a false sense of importance and often become blind to someone more important-the other person-Jesus clearly kept that in proper perspective-may God help me do the same.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 06, 2006 14:52 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Christ as the incarnate God       ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 1/6/2006 1:43:19 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Christ as the incarnate God Judy asks 'what is wrong with the scriptural understanding of Jesus', Lance? Lance answers 'Nothing whatsoever, Judy!' AND, Judy, when IMO the two (yours/His) are identical, I've no problem whatsoever in offering a resounding, AMEN! HOWEVER..........   You're not into self flaggelation, are you? Why not just let it go? As Perry said of me recently, 'you're just blowing smoke'. IMO, I'm not but, I'm not disturbed to have people think I am.  cd: Are you Lance not worried that you will lose creditability as a scholar of the bible and fail to convince others to listen to truth that comes from you-if those others think you are only blowing smoke-God may have given you the words to save a soul in Christ-shame to have that lost in the smoke?
