What do matters of difference between BT and DM have
to do with "understanding"
the gospel Lance? To me the point of the
conflict sounded something like "God hides
things from the 'wise and prudent' and reveals them
to babes.
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.
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?
