And so it is that occultism (the esoteric) leads to cultish considerations.

It is more like that an individual decides against the 'group' thus generating a cult, Dean. This is what concerns me re:one who lays claim to 'special revelation' as the 'closer' in an argument. One such, at least, is a TT contributer.

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.

 

 John wrote: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

.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.
