MG, these guys are claiming to be God's chosen prophets and apostles. Its on them to provide something useful. If we can't challenge their words and ideas, what are we to make of their claims? My point in replying to IHAQ was to ask him what his own teachings are in regards to revelation with the i...

Ultimately this is the desire of those that would like to see the church go away. Take down the power structures as they are, apostles and prophets, and replace them with a power structure that is strictly accountable to people rather than God. Replace the leaders with more ‘worldly’ men. As it is,...

Out of interest what are your views in regards to revelation from God? How? When? How do you differentiate between that which is revelation and that which is from your own mind? Are there any standards or markers that you personally use or follow to determine what is and isn’t revelation? Do you bel...

I think the problem is that the Church leaders can't admit that they collectively have made mistakes and huge ones on this and in other areas. They believe they need to keep up the false pretenses to retain power. This needs to change. Ultimately this is the desire of those that would like to see t...

No. This is way past "fine tuning." And th...

Again, I don’t envy them. But neither do I condemn them. And unfortunately you are also going to have a few rogue Bishops along the way. But that isn’t any reason to tear the whole system down as some might desire. Sure it is. “And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: f...

I’m glad that you’re not out knocking on doors representing the church. Regards, MG Really? ...MG jumps in to troll...And around and around. MG doesn’t give two craps about data, methodology or logic. All he wants is to get people mad. #ignorethetroll Then ignore, willya? 🙂 You have not been follow...

At the end of the day we will disagree on whether or not the church supports and condones/encourages the actions of a child molester/abuser. The church isn’t disgusting. The abusers are. You seem to forget, for all intents and purposes the ‘church’ is the membership. Individuals. Each with the righ...

Light hearted and halarious doesn’t have anything to do with focusing on brick biting rather than reasons to build up. Although I must admit his response to your opening post was rather hopeful from the perspective of his looking at this new story with eyes of doubt. I’ll hand him that. I don’t bla...
