I believe that cd & DM may be confusing intimidation with authority. I see this more from DM with those less than veiled threats & warnings directed at those who dare to disagree with him.
cd: Is it disagreeing with David or disagree with Christ that prompts the warnings about the consequences of sin? We support all we say with the Bible can you group say the same. Your group cannot even tell me what Rev. 3: 1-6 means-because it collides with your religion.John, Debbie, Bill, Baxter...etc?

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.

.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.

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.
