2:Prophecy: Revelation from God to His prophets, divine pathos: all prophecy points to Christ and ends in Christ
3: Power and authority: the power contained in the Gospel of Christ to change lives, to change the world.
The gospel of John, or according to John does not affect the message of John. The book is not history or a biography of Jesus. It is pure theology, and written for theological reasons.
AMEN!

Just so I get this straight, lest I accuse anyone of something they neither believe nor claim, are you saying that the foregoing is why AG can discern the very words of God from those of +John, or +Luke etc? Is she assuredly part of that One Flock? Is she a prophet? Does a life changed by familiarity with the Gospels necessarily empower one to spot God’s words among the background noise of other Apostolic writings? :)
