You seem more reserved than when preaching on the street, Dean. Surely you will say what you mean for our benefit. 'too much dancing around'?? Are 'we' a cult IYO? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 14, 2006 18:00 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The door to understanding       ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/14/2006 7:16:19 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The door to understanding Dean:   'birth of a cult'? 'group thinking-no standards to point out error'? 'see why your group don't like preaching such as David (Miller) does'?   These are rather serious accusations, Dean. These are certainly not borne out when reading the 'group' via TT.   I had a rather lengthy conversation just last evening with a friend who reads TT regularly. I have for the longest time 'heard' only one voice on TT, said I to my friend, that has a 'cultic' ring to it. That voice belongs to no one in 'the group'.   Over the decades I've encountered a handful of persons who claimed 'special access' to God; 'special giftedness' in understanding God; along with 'special insight' into others within the 'believing' community. I'd totally concur Dean, that such should be viewed with caution.    cd: One thing a cult does is vere away from the bible but leave enough truth to sound convincing. I have yet to meet anyone in a cult that thought they were in a cult. There are too many unexplained sound bible verses in you groups belief.Too much dancing around. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 14, 2006 07:02 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The door to understanding       ----- Original Message ----- From: To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org;TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/13/2006 7:19:39 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The door to understanding In the biblical concept of the “church” I see an avenue for  continuing revelation, and if not “revelation,”  certainly “interpretation” or “understanding.”   If you will, it is in the counsel of many that our understanding of the biblical text is expanded and/or confirmed.     How important, it is, then,  that the church continue to meet in forums such as this  --  whether virtual or physical.   A community of Being reveals Himself to a community of Believers and it is out of this communal reality that our understanding of God and His thoughts is borne.   cd: A very good definition of the birth of a cult John. No one truth to live by but group thinking-No standards to point our error if the group agrees with the present circumstance-I can see why your group don't like preaching such as David does-the one is dominated by the many as his voice is lost in the power of the mass.   jd
