>> So you reject the idea that you are in need of teachers in the church?<<

In what church?

>> What about the story of the Ethopian Eunich in Acts Chapter 8?<<

I’d love to sit with one of the apostles. We now have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit so that sort of trumps men especially those who follow someone like Calvin. While Calvin may have gotten some things right the kind of man he was and the spirit he followed was evident in the way he treated Michael Servetus.

>> If so, should you not be teaching in the church? Shouldn't you be the one giving the sermons?<<

No, they should read scripture and meet to discuss what they have learned with other like minded believers just as we do. Focusing on one “preacher” is what leads to error as has been proven over and over again.

>> BTW if we are to reject the sermons of men on issues of theology, then why should anyone here pay any attention to what you have to say?<<

They shouldn’t without “searching the scripture”. Just as Paul commended the Bereans for doing.

Ah, the Servetus Card.

.

Harley, how many times did I play that card over the years?

BTW CB, do you agree with the theology of Michael Servetus?

His followers are all members of the Unitarian Church.

How many souls do you suspect are destined to Hell because they believe the Universalist teachings of the Unitarian church?

Just Askin.

just as we do

Who is "we" and what do you "do"?
