CKatayama, thanks for your post. No correction intended; I hoped only to add my two cents to your dollar. Colin |

102 | Leading difficult people w/out Giving up | Ex 34:9 | flinkywood | 137974 | ||
CKatayama, Good observation. I would stress less God's equipping Moses with a natural tendency to lead than the immensity of Moses' self-sacrificial faith, a quality which makes him a "type" of Jesus: "But now, if You will, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!" (Exo 32:32) The context of the above is that Moses' has just been told God is willing to destroy all Israel and start over with Moses' offspring, an offer unique in all history. Moses' free response is a universal model of loving, self-sacrificial faith. God's response to Moses' self-offering is an example His merciful lovingkindness. God elicited from Moses' what He knew pre-existed within him; God disposed him, Moses chose Him. Colin |

104 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | flinkywood | 137676 | ||
Sttil, Elaine Pagels believes the true teachings Jesus, the truer Jesus Himself, can be found in the Nag Hammadi scrolls. She posits that the early Church suppressed these in order to streamilne and refine the Gospel against competing gospels (particularly "Thomas' Gospel"), to intitutionalize Christianity and to make it a hardier, more reassuring (and atractive) faith in the face of persecution. How do you read John 14:6? Was it an authorial, or scribal, addition? Colin |

Are you saying that, because of persecution, Justin Martyr added assurances and features to "The Way" that weren't handed down from Jesus and His disciples? Colin |

106 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | flinkywood | 137626 | ||
Sttil, Okay, that's clear. I'm trying to not read into what you say; I'm trying to understand. From your reply, I see that you are describing how a parrallel, contemporary concept was used to make a mystery intelligible. However, I don't believe the mystery owes anything to the explanation. Have you read anything by N.T. Wright, particularly "The Resurrection of the Son of God"? He is brilliant on this theme. Colin |

Sttil, Digging is what we all do, basically. No glory in the hole? Dig somewhere else. I assume, like me, you're digging for truth (on our best days!). 1) Since you've said the scriptures are tainted by Gnosticism, are you digging by yourself? Or are you borrowing somebody else's survey? 2) In the KJV Bible Jesus is quoted as saying He's the truth. What truths have you found about Jesus? Colin |

110 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | flinkywood | 137589 | ||
Sttil, Thanks for your replies. 1) What are "eternal realities"? 2) Could you please elucidate "life after death"? 3) What is the relationship of Gnosticism to John's use of "Logos" in John 1:1? Colin |

Sttil, one other question: how do you know you're practicing Christianity and not Gnosticism? Colin |

Besides Trinitarian doctrine, how else is Christianity tainted by Gnosticism? What parts of those scriptures we have today are tainted by Gnosticism? Colin |
||||||
113 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | flinkywood | 137558 | ||
Thanks, but I was asking specifically about similarities between Gnoticism and Unitarianism. Or are you saying that Unitarianism is Christianity less tainted by Gnosticism? Colin |

Aw, shucks, Hank. Colin |

117 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | flinkywood | 137361 | ||
Hank, I wrote Doc that I've heard acounts of people hearing Jesus' voice. I know these seem antithetical to scripture, but the most credible ones are specifically to the person in question and un-prophetic. I'm not sure we can rule them out entirely. They also tend to be so beautiful and hopeful I can't help wanting to believe they're true. Colin |

118 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | flinkywood | 137360 | ||
Doc, I've heard accounts of people hearing Jesus' voice; obviously, these are hard to confirm, but I can't disbelieve them; in fact, I want to believe them. That's just how I am. Colin |

119 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | flinkywood | 137350 | ||
Doc, would you rule out entirely the possibility that since Christ's ascension someone, other than Paul, has heard the voice of Christ? Colin |

120 | 2 Cor 4:4 | 2 Cor 4:4 | flinkywood | 137039 | ||
pdcaran, yes, that answers it, thanks, but I don't see what the fuss is about, since God is over all, whether He's worshipped or not. By the way, are you certain that God created everyone? Colin |
