John 16 is about a meeting Christ had with the disciples who had known Him "from the beginning." The result of that meeting is the record found in John 16. Ditto for Mark 16. To build from those scriptures a theology that is corporate in application is a denial of this contextual fact ...... and, in a way, proves the very point I am making. DM has all the confidence in the world that he is correct in this confusion of biblical nuance but that does not prevent God from working a didache in his life as a result. Down the road, someday, hopefully before the snake bite, he will see the passage(s) differently and the truth of I Cor 8:1-3 will be rekindled in his thinking.

You apparently are not reading him very well, Lance. I think you see what you want to see in his writings. His response to me concerning this second paragraph was: John wrote: > John 16 does not apply to us today, David. We really do not need to take him too seriously, though, because according to this author, neither he nor anyone else can be confident about whether his statement is true or not. For anyone to be confident about whether the Holy Ghost can reveal truth to us (real truth which cannot be wrong) would be, according to John, the sin of pride. Peace be with you.
