I think Ray’s right that 10+ on the 14 Fundamentals were fodder. Look at the weak wording of this one:
I agree this is the case on Fs 9-13. Perhaps we should just skip ahead to number 14.
14 is not fodder – but a terribly false and dangerous (and dare I say cult-like) statement to be quoting to folks over the pulpit. Since we have GC next week, I would vote to skip 11-13, and just try to hit this one this week.
I agree that point Thirteen could be skipped without missing much but Eleven and Twelve are some of my favorites in the whole list because I am definitely relatively proud, “learned”, rich, and “wordly” compared to many of my TBM neighbors so maybe Benson was onto something when it comes to a possible correlation between these traits and not following the prophet. Maybe we should combine one thread for 11-14 so we can finish the discussion for all of them without skipping any before conference.
