I finally found out on the news that this guy is a Quaker. First, Quaker meeting houses have over the years become headquarters for nothing more religious than "peace" organizations which, themselves, only desire peace in the context of stopping the American military under a Republican president. Second, even genuine Quakers don't view themselves as Christian. Theirs is a revealed religion. That is, God speaks directly to them. Christ and indeed any scripture of any kind is meaningless.

Correcto!!! They have never been part of othrodox Christianity. They believe creeds and the words of Scripture are irrelevant. After all, why do you need the objective text when you can get it directly from the Almighty? However, what these misguided souls don't realize is that lying spirits work to deceive those not founded and grounded in the historic creeds (which are the teachings of Scripture in condensed form) and in the text of the Bible itself. The Scriptures, creeds, confessions, and cathecisms are anchors that keep the believer from floating endlessly into a muddled sea of subjective experience.
