Ahhhh two in a row. Do you take note David, of the limits of language? JD is
quite correct. Unless you equate your own 'teaching' with the 'doctrines of
men' (do you?) then, not one of us is an exception.

I hope that you allow that some of us have a different perspective on this
point. Some here tout Joseph Smith while others tout Barth and Torrance.

Is there a difference in your perspective between understanding truth and
using language to articulate truth? All might be approximating truth when
we attempt to communicate truth to others, but not all are approximating
truth in regards to their understanding of truth. Such a perspective
would
describe those talked about in Scripture as "ever learning, and never able
to come to the knowledge of the truth."

If we cannot allow for "unity" to found in the
commonality of our search for truth, there will
be no unity in Christ.
Unity is based in our commitment to be conformed and transformed into the
image of Christ. Lots of people search for truth. I have worked with all
kinds of wicked people who were all searching for truth in the university.
To have a unity based upon a mutual search for truth is not even close to
the kind of unity that comes through the spirit when men and women submit
themselves unto the Lordship of Christ.
Peace be with you.
