The following is not a compliment, nor is it
necessarily a criticism: As to "how can one argue with your type of
reasoning.............(fill in the blank)? DM, in responding to a series of
questions I put to him, so framed his answers as to sever the possiblilty of
ongoing conversation.

Secondly, I never said that the group defines
God. Such is a lie and I am tired of it.
cd: Do you remember my replying "What if
they decide He is a calf? Others do-I am not lying John-but I forgive
you.
I do not care what you said. Do you understand that
comment? I am talking about what I said, Dean. I am
talking about what you said of MY comment. And nothing in MY comment
spoke of a group defining God. Any comment to the contrary is a
lie, at this stage of the discussion. Plain and
simple. You think the "church" is all about common folk and
bosses, apparently.
The fact that the counsel of many is of no value to you as you read and
"study" the written word is more than obvious.

Dean !!! Would you p[lease slow down and proof read you
comments. Read this out loud and you will see what I
mean. .
cd: Judy the most concern that prompted my below reply to
John was his earlier statement of the God is who the group decides He
is-tie that to his lower statement and you have a cult.

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

.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 t houghts is borne.
