Your explanation is riddled (literally) with parable language which you have not successfully understood or portrayed, and your timing is complete darkness. The "when" you mention, was today, the day of Pentecost, and each in his own order to follow. The "place' and the "where" is within you.

I answered your question ... which means you yourself are the stupid backpedaling dodger that you called me. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Evening. The eve of the cross.

Paul speaks to the heart and spirit. James speaks to the spirit and body. There is no contradiction if we walk out our faith, if we put feet to it. Paul referred to the same, as "good works."

"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation...

Exactly.

So you say. But what you say is right or wrong is known, just as you are known. A "few witnesses" is a few witnesses, but the church is not a few.

If I spoke of miles and another spoke kilometers, part of what we refer to would match, but not all. Specifically, the numbers are not completely comparable. Likewise, when science and the world consider time, they speak in one language, but God and those who are God's, speak in another. The...

The proper definition of church in the above contest, would be: assembly or congregation. Thus, if such a one is not with the assembly or congregation on a matter, they are put out.

And all who are saved shall wear the robes of righteousness. But you have not given robes to all, but to one.

You make no sense. If the church is the body of Christ (which it is), then your claim would be that: Jesus left us with us.

That authority refers to the chief priests of Israel. But we now have a new High Priest in Christ. That is not to say that the church has no authority at all, it simply has no authority over the body, for it is the body. But the authority that is given to the church is over the forces of good...

If you understood and took to heart that a leader under Christ is a servant and of no personal authority, then I would call Peter a leader. But since you accredit him with more authority than he was given, then I will not join you in your incorrect definition of the term, but will call him a...

If I point to the difference between Peter and the Holy Spirit, it is because they are different, just as any man is different than the Holy Spirit. Men are not the Holy Spirit, He is our Helper, that's all. I am saying nothing against those appointed by God for service, any more than I am...

Scripture and doctrine are the baseline, the academic module to the greater truth of God. Is it a must? Yes. Is it the final word? No. As others have mentioned and as we have been told in the scriptures themselves, it is the Holy Spirit who leads us in to [all] truth. But there are dangers...

It would seem that "church unity" is looked at in two different ways. Personally, I see church unity in the scriptures as a guiding understanding of our being one body, and that it is also an encouragement, that having many divers gifts, we are one in spite of our differences. What I see in the...

This whole topic is man's foolishness. By definition, if one is "saved", they are "saved"...unless that person intends to call God a liar, as many would and do.

See you at the Judgement then. Alleluia!

Therein lies the problem. He did not sent Peter to lead, but to feed, and the authority was given to the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom He did send to [all] who receive Him. You define the church incorrectly as a group of leaders, while Christ defines it as His body. The word of God is...

Again, bless you for having your heart in the right place. But what I am trying to explain, is that rather than "It is finished" coming the moment Christ spoke the words...is that He has allotted us this time and this tribulation. Nonetheless, we should make good choices, and know that He is...
