You think "revealed" means that your opinions and feelings are from God. I think that "revealed" means that God gave some men in time a message that was given to succeeding generations.

In the proper context, I won't even argue with what you say about us. What troubles me is what you say about you. You are saying that God's revelation was not to His children, but rather to the authorities of SOME of His children. That leaves a lot of people out. To me, that is but a shadow of a revealed faith.

This shouldn't bother you, since Jesus Christ Himself chose 12 men as an inner circle to preach the meaning of His more enigmatic statements. He gave them His particular teachings to spread to the world - some of them related orally, some of them by written word.

Do you think that everyone should be able to write Scriptures? It sounds like this bothers you - that you can't have "St. Forest Keeper's first letter to the Arizonians" :0

Regards
