Ask MarkBsnr.

He's not the one that said

I'd much rather be silly than blasphemously believe the Word of God only gains effectiveness with approval of man.

YOU are...

riiiight.

Then I pointed you to the one “dopey enough”.

Sorry, I thought the inference was clear. my bad.

There's an additional behavior or characteristic for the diagnostic list. It's exemplified here with the unsubstantiated identification of "the authority of the Church" with "approval of men".

A lot of PD sufferers can't deal with distinctions and nuance. A few months back a Catholic was upset because I was explaining sin, penance, and purgation by comparing it to injury and physical therapy. She couldn't wrap her mind around the concept of an unofficial comparison shedding light on official doctrine. Too subtle.

In general unanticipated distinctions are derided as "parsing", nit-picking, and "logic-chopping". Outside this forum I've encountered narcissistic PD victims who cannot tolerate and get abusive in the face of a distinction they didn't think of first.

Here the concept of the one, holy, universal, and chosen as Christ 's body, representative, and agent to the world assembly of God being as Spirit-Filled as the Bible is not only one with which there is disagreement (fair enough) but one which is simply inconceivable to the S-E/STS sufferers.
