It's interesting how you consider it an abuse to introduce a different idea to 'your' conservative forum. Like, having an open mind about spiritual matters is somehow a progressive ideal. I'm conservative - my voting since I first registered when I was 18 reflects that, but I have to tell you that could change in a New York second if my relationship with the Lord is threatened. I have a ministry online and here in town and I really don't need the nasty disrespect you 'conservatives' seeming love to dish out to those who don't buy in to your group think. By definition the stupid and ignorant are those that cannot or will not learn anything new. I've been called both in recent posts on this thread - funny how projection works.
First and foremost, JR has stated this forum is pro-God. My purpose is to improve reader's personal experience (conscience contact) with God as I've come to understand that. What I have to say or what's in the Bible Study may not fit with an individual's beliefs but that's okay, isn't it? I noted on the Bible Study threads that no one really discussed the content but it just degenerated to childish name calling.

When all you got is a hammer...
So, God willing, we'll have another Bible Study tomorrow, which I'll post here. Coming in February, we have a seven week Spiritual Journey program called 'The Path Of Integrity' which I plan on posting here. Nothing to buy - no donations are being solicited, no bullying just sharing the Good News.
It is not the idea that it is new, but the radical cultic basis for his conclusions, as an esoteric eltist who imagined himself wining debates with men such as the apostle Paul, and who rejects half the Bible, and you come here hosting "Bible" studies. And in so doing i see you insidiously promoting a false product. Free advertising. Thus it was exposed for what it was., even if you defend it.

Actually, on you recent "study," i ended up in an extended and extensive (scholarly on my part) debate on the canon

"For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. " (2 Corinthians 11:4)
Some do bear it, I and some others do not. At least you warned us.
