You've worded this in such a way as to suggest that
God wouldn't 'use' those things I mentioned. He does. You appear to have missed
the main thrust of my point to Dean. That's OK.

Correction!! Study helps do not give
"understanding" Lance. Only the Holy Spirit can give
"understanding"
Historical background is not "understanding" per se.
One can know all ABOUT something and be completely
void of "understanding" or
spiritually ignorant just like the scribes and pharisees of Jesus'
day..
By the way Dean, if a child can understand it then, would you say that Judy doesn't need her 'study helps' and DM doesn't
require skills in ancient languages, logic etc.?
cd: I think this is good
advice and I am trying to do just that Lance. My advice to you is to
forget all the different "isms" in these other views as they have IMO lead
you into confusion.God wrote in a language so simple that even a child
could understand-what you hold for truth is a doctrine of complexity that
even a collage graduate would fall short understanding-and you or
Satan has placed people around yourself that is supporting this
complex error. Simply read the Bible for your self and draw you own
conclusions from those written words and-as you say live
by those words-respectfully.

Dean says to Lance "their is only ONE
TRUTH...the Bible wording supports OUR TRUTH" Further, "I have
tried to teach you...(the Bible truth, the One truth, our truth..
concerning sin)"
I posted the course notes on Christology
for you to see the diversity, Dean. In Mad Magazine it was Spy vs Spy
whereas on TT, in the churches and, in life it is ideaology vs
ideaology, religion vs religion, belief vs belief and, yes Dean, even
SCRIPTURE VS SCRIPTURE.
I suggest that you live out that which you
believe God has shown you.

vs Pluralism - Who is believing/teach THE TRUTH?
Look 'em up. I'm for the former and,
agin' the latter. It seems to me that each believes their
understanding of the truth to be THE understanding of the
truth. Each attempts to demonstrate the foregoing by employing means
generally acceptable to all participants. When arriving at an
impasse, persons just agree to disagree or, think of those
with whom they disagree as unwilling/unable to SEE their (read THE)
TRUTH. Persons also testify to the presence of their truth in their
lives. Persons suggest some variation on
illumination/enlightenment/Divine confirmation of their
truth.
cd:The problem I
see with your reasoning Lance - Respectfully- is that the Bible
wording supports our truth (ie. And there is only one truth). We can
back up what we say with the word of God with harmony through the
entire Bible- these others you mentioned cannot. I have tried
to teach you about sin and the consequences of sin even on a
believer. Can you use the Bible to teach me once saved always
saved?
How and, in what ways have I
mischaracterized TT since its
inception?
