Re: [TruthTalk] Lance, TFT, Promises etc

[Lance Muir]

George Burns used to close his act with his wife Gracie Allen by saying 'Say goodnight Gracie!, to which Gracie Allen would reply, 'Goodnight Gracie'   As to your homework on various topics along with your conviction and sincerity Judy, you get better and better. Many meanings elude you but, IFO have never thought it intentional thus, my use of the word 'elude' eh. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: March 19, 2006 09:05 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Lance, TFT, Promises etc Why would you be embarrassed about torrance being identified with Reformed theology and John Calvin when you personally inform the list as follows and torrance quotes these doctrines in his own writings?   Judy:  Why indeed! Because he knew the works of Knox thoroughly. He also knew the works of Calvin thoroughly as he was editor of the 22 volumes of Calvin's NT commentaries. Like all of redeemed humanity Judy, some of what persons say is worthwhile.   Also Lance you are still remiss concerning the following; please explain. What promise?   One can only be appreciative of the contribution made by yourself and David Miller as to my point of longstanding concerning 'illumination/interpretation'. You both lay claim to a nonexistent promise and, thereafter exhibit the opposite in your writing.       On Sun, 19 Mar 2006 08:52:45 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Speak of him all you wish, Judy. What you were doing was akin to Kevin stating that DH believes in the same Trinitarian God that he (Kevin) does. Thus 'embarrassment'!  From: Judy Taylor   Sorry Kevin - I guess it is only myself who is not permitted to speak about torrance; seems to be OK for Lance and those he approves/respects ... you may not be on the "forbidden" list? From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Demonstrate that you and Torrance are 'as one' on this point, David. My goodness but you esteem yourself highly ("I don't expect you to be able to understand this point', 'you are not hearing me on this last post') IFF you, David, were who you think yourself to be then, Bill, Caroline, Debbie, Jonathan et al would've never left. I really do think you've got better things to do with your time, David. You certainly are not, in some important areas, leaving a good impression on TT.   Lance, I am so tired of hearing about Bill, Caroline, Debbie, and Jonathan You talk like their absence is some great loss. It was their choice to leave and I wish them well but why do you keep bringing them up constantly. If I am forbidden to discuss torrance then I would put the same restriction on you regarding these four.   As to the "impression left by DavidM on TT" - even Jesus could not please all of the people all of the time.  IMO he may not be a perfect man just yet one who has fully attained but he is well on the way and he is a godly man ... who are you to personally  judge another man's servant Lance Muir?   From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > No, Lance.  You are misapplying things you have read.  Based on my reading > of Torrance, I'm with him on this one.  I believe God operates with logic, > not against it, yet logic alone cannot lead us into all truth.  I don't > expect you to be able to understand at this point, but you should know > that > you are not hearing me in this last post.  I make some subtle distinctions > that would help you understand me better if you would take the time to > hear > them. > > David Miller > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org> > Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 8:03 AM > Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Is the day in Genesis literal or figurative? > > > We've been here before have we not?
