I don't hear Judy saying that a spirit taught her that the flesh of Jesus was not genetically related to his ancestors.  If she did, then we could readily judge that this spirit is not of God and direct her to reject this spirit.  I think Judy's perceptions come from her framework of understanding the Bible.  Furthermore, her lack of knowledge about the physical nature of Jesus does not rise to the level of blasphemy.  On the contrary, it is her sense of protecting Christ from anything that even sounds blasphemous that causes her to respond the way she does.  It is kind of like if you like somebody so much and think the world of them, and your assumption of good parents is that they would never raise their voice to their children and somebody tells them that this person yelled at their child.  Your first response might be, no way, you are mistaken, he would never do that.  Not until that person comes and says, "yes, I did raise my voice" would you realize that you were wrong.  Then you would have some rethinking to do about whether or not yelling at children is wrong in every situation.   Many of us know from the Bible that Jesus went into the Temple several times and kicked out the people who were buying and selling animals for their sacrifices commanded by Torah.  Most people in our culture are ignorant of the Bible and when this is described to them, they immediately deny that it could be true.  Their perception of Jesus is someone who is so meek and loving that he never offended anyone, and for someone to characterize him as acting this way, well, it seems outright blasphemous.  I think this also somewhat describes Judy's motivation for not acknowledging that Jesus's body was physically descended from David.   David M.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:43 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: Interesting observation The only knowledge of Christ available to us is that which comes by way of the Holy Spirit.

Morality is a thing to be desired so why malign this also by adding the "self" like you know something that nobody else is aware of.  You've not even heard the first one of them preaching on the street have you? To JD .. blaspheming the name of Jesus is not what gets you in trouble, it is blaspheming the Holy Spirit that is the unpardonable sin and you don't appear to have a clue about Him.
