Main point from Dean: A child can 'understand'. To
some extent a child CAN understand. However, Judy/Dean a child does NOT have the
capacity to sign on TT and resolve matters of difference say, between Bill
Taylor and David Miller. Don't make something mean more than it
can.

believing/teach THE TRUTH?
Lance it amazes me that so many think they know
exactly what God would and would not do - Yet
their ideas are diametrically opposed to His
Ways. What was the main thrust of your point to Dean
that I missed?
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.

Plurality vs Pluralism - Who is believing/teach THE TRUTH?
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.

Plurality 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?
