.Amen Dean,
JD I figure you were thinking of Proverbs
11:14b when you wrote what you say below ie: "in the multitude of
counsellors there is safety" However the
"counsellors" referred to in Proverbs ARE those of God's Word or
the Biblical text as you call it. They all
say the same thing by the same Spirit and this is the counsel in
which
we find safety. Groupthink??
Anathema!!

cd: A very good definition of the
birth of a cult John. No one truth to live by but group thinking-No standards to
point our error if the group agrees with the present circumstance-I can see why
your group don't like preaching such as David does-the one is dominated by the
many as his voice is lost in the power of the mass.
JD writes:In the biblical concept of the church
I see an avenue for continuing revelation, and if not revelation, certainly interpretation or understanding. If you will, it is in the counsel of many that our understanding of the biblical text is expanded and/or confirmed. How important, it is, then, that the church continue to meet in forums such as this -- whether virtual or physical. A community of Being reveals Himself to a community of Believers and it is out of this communal reality that our understanding of God and His thoughts is borne.
