Strong delusion ensures you are 'right'!

I guess your reticence to go down the track of exploring where authority lies and the integrity of the theological structure you have built will not hold up under exploration/ scrutiny. I had figured as much. It appears your preference is to dance around with ewq1938 on 'I said, you said' and...
