It is not arrogance to posit what you believe. (Ping-Pong:God wants you to know these things.)

It is the height of arrogance to speak for God.

Don't be so arrogant. You could be wrong. I say you probably are wrong, but then I could be wrong.....It is the height of arrogance to speak for God.

That would be arrogant but it wasn't meant that way. I didn't think anyone would assume I thought I could speak for God. I'll be more careful with how I phrase things in the future.

Thank you for admitting you could be wrong as I think you are probably wrong but I could be wrong too.

Joking aside, Diego clearly laid out the truth about the 12 tribes as God shows us in His Word. Surely this is something He would want us to understand

= = =

Depends.

Wasn’t so for Moses, or St Paul . . . or John the Beloved.

One needs to be sure it is truly God’s msg one is speaking.

On the other hand . . . (with different fingers) . . . pastors, preachers, teachers . . . speak for God in pulpits around the World constantly. Most, if not all, spout this or that error; personal private interpretation etc. etc. etc. to some greater or lesser degree . . . some with more or less foundation for their pontifications.

I certainly think the degree of human arrogance makes a difference in the degree of error.

But I haven’t found many even near totally humble . . . in ministry.

But the labels thrown at fellow FREEPERS and BELIEVERS . . . on this thread . . . grieve my spirit. I don’t think they are necessary and are certainly not Christ-like.
