It
occasionally appropriate to speak of one being 'infected' by traditions.
Among the participants on TT probaby David stands out as having a gift
for
teaching. Whenever and where ever he has 'practiced' this gift, he has
likely
developed a 'following'. In one sense there exists a 'David
Tradition'. It
happens just that way.
jt: Maybe so, Paul encouraged people under his
ministry to 'follow him as
he followed Christ' which isn't exactly mindless
aquiesance. If Christ is not the
foundation then one builds in vain anyway and we are
each as individuals responsible
before the Lord to have our senses exercised to
discern between good and evil. What
is wrong with accepting from David what is good? If
one hears Jesus speaking through
him, this hardly
categorizes one as a Davidian does it? To me one of David's gifts is
in asking the right questions so that communication
can continue rather than shutting
down entirely or
becoming offended or obtuse. judy
