Of course you do and you have done an excellent job of illustrating your view of "freedom in Christ" It, it is just remarkable.

I guess I need to go back and review some of his posts.That way you might stop implying falsehoods like your recent one that I wanted DH banned.That is against every fibre of my being. I believe in freedomFreedom of conscienceFreedom of beliefFreedom of speech

to the brethren with whom he is in fellowship, "I, brethren, could not speak

Is that really what you think?
I'm not reading this in Kevin. I guess I need to go back and review some of
his posts. Better yet, Kevin, can you inform us about this. Have you ever
told fellow believers that they were so carnal that you had to go over the
a, b, c's? I suspect you have found yourself in this position quite often.

Two things: First, if you reference David's comments - I happen to agree
with David.
Second ly -- I think a theology that cancels out such scriptures as I Cor
3:1ff is a theology from the Accuser. Such thinking mocks the written word
and renders the application of scripture to be left to the whim of the
competing disciples. Perhaps this cannot be avoided - but such thinking
demands that outcome.
My theology, a biblically based thinking, allows me the freedom to speak
the very words written in I Cor 3:1 -- those who disagree relegate this
passage to history and give it no modern day application. Sad.
