thats understandable I would resent being equated to dj too.

Okay. Which Word then? And if I understand you correctly there seems to be no extra-personal parameters for determining if anybody is on the "Way" or not. So if anybody is acting in accordance with "Christ's words" (I'm still looking for your insight on which they are) they are on the Way?

It's a matter of whole cloth, take away the distractions and you will see, but If you do see: you will become a "heretic"

Does your group of "heretics" have a name?

Should we open another thread? I think we've hijacked this one...

Not mine: Christ's. Depends on who's doing the naming. However, if I was a lone voice calling out from the wilderness, the message would be the same : " Seek and ye shall find"

How much wool is on your eyelids? Why you can't see what His message is? You have Christ's words, you don't need anything else, and you diminish Christ by seeking other sources, paul included.

You keep saying things like this, but this isn't part of the Christian
doctrine, it is part of yours, because of your lack of understanding
of the Holy Spirit of God, you diminish Christ.

Have you read the book of Acts?

Not much; what does Jesus say in it? I know there's some argument between Paul and Jesus' brother and the church Jesus founded, though. What's up with that???

Jesus promised the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the gospels. If you read Acts you will find out how it really happened...

Cuz the author of Acts says so? Did he get elected Jesus for a Day after Jesus left town?
