Thanks for such a good Old Testament confirmation of the emphasis on THE CONGREGATION having the authority a la I Cor 12-14

Did you read that passage in Numbers? You saw one word and ran off with it. The whole sense of it is that *duly constituted* religious authority *cannot be circumvented*.

You don't think the Israelites had authority to depose Moses, do you?

Why?

Because of his humility, God could trust him with such authority.

I know of no papal equivalent coming remotely close.

Nor in any other denomination though John Wimber was a great example of humility to his dying day.

And, interestingly, God saw fit to take him home through a most humble means--a fall in the shower. LOL.
