I can't relate to your observation at
all. I don't see it. In fact his actions belie devotion to
orthodoxy.
Which of the church fathers do you think would
give the Mormon boys on TT freedom to operate in the same town let alone on any
bandwidth they controlled? They would have been hunted down as "blatant heretics"
just like you Gary, John, Bill et al are trying to brand me right
now. So your speculations
about what he does with his family and his flock are just so much hot air.
I am sure he loves them and gives
them time
and space to grow. I see the fruit of his
labors in his daughter Christine and all of it so
far good.
DM is most definitely a 'locker inner' of the
first order.
He does it with Gary, John, Bill et al. He
probably did it with his family. He probably does it with his 'flock'.
Well that is your own personal opinion
Lance. How is it you expect perfection from DavidM?
Why not give him some space? There is just once source of ALL
truth Lance and I expect
DavidM is still learning by going to that
source just like the rest of
us. Why do you want to lock
him in when he has never done this to
the rest of us? Where the Spirit of the Lord is there
is
the liberty not to have to be the
"expert" You just say what God has shown you and ppl either
accept it or they reject it ... the outcome is not up to
us.
DM is, IMO, intentionally elusive. At times
he appears almost duplicitous, saying one thing to one person
(you) then appearing to contradict that thing through what he says to
another (Bill Taylor).
I believe them rather than constantly
wrest them like some on this list do Lance.
You have a whole list of things that
should be of concern to DM and if he were not so grounded
in his faith the attitudes of you and JD toward him personally
would top the list
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE SCRIPTURES, JUDY!!
This ought to be a matter of some concern for DM, whom I suspect knows
this.
Oh Lance, the apple doesn't fall
too far from the tree does it. You are a true child of the
Orthodoxy you serve. This anxiety about some ppl not being able to
handle scripture is what led to the "dark ages"
when it was chained to the pulpit because of fear.
Have faith in God.
It may be 'that no (wo)man is an
island' yet, does every 'island' produce its own theologian. The
DM's (2) need be remindeded that the Scriptures in the hands of
some can be dangerous.
cd: Only if that scripture is
wrong and takes away from what the words mean-but if it is
used to explain the existing truth-it is not only not
dangerous but divine Lance.I am not the first to make the below
statement.

The rationality of "God" -- nonsense
You are the ONLY ONE I have ever met who
believes that Adam and Eve were not flesh and
blood but "spirit beings" before the
fall ------------ the only one.
cd: John I contend that A&E were more
than just flesh before the fall-I view them as being's of
light.The same light that shown from Moses face after he
came into Gods presence also.Don't get me wrong the flesh
existed but the sin didn't. I farther contend that Adam
saw Eve in her fallen state and chose to eat the apple to
be with her out of love-if not she would be forever lost
to him.He came from being able to name all the animals on
earth-a genius- to dying spiritually (light went out) and
hiding from God for fear and shame.
