If you want to be an infallible prophet in my church then fine – let’s play by the biblical rules — if you are wrong we get to kill you.

I found this today, via Jonny Baker, and love it absolutely. I am often frustrated when people come and say, “God told me…blahblahblah…” How is a pastor/person/human supposed to answer that. In reality “God told me” is the Christianese equivalent of
