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 t houghts is borne.     jd
