From the "Myer Monday" quote ...
Quote:

No matter what conclusions a Bible teacher might draw from Old Testament notables such as Noah, Moses, David, etc., the clear proposition of a Minister of The Age (as espoused by LSM) is missing in the New Testament. We would expect to find something so seemingly important to the health of the church resting on plainly written divine commands. Yet we find none. Instead, like many other popular views that have found a home in the Local Church Movement, the claim of a minister of the age owes its existence only to an elaborate system of extrapolations. -- John Myer

Years ago as I was contemplating leaving my beloved local church, and troubling ministerial abuses were weighing heavily on my heart, it was plain words like this that were "keys" to unlock my "shackles."
As I was researching Plymouth Brethren past and present (Peebs), I found myself laughing over this very matter. How could God have two MOTA's at one time? The Peebs still have theirs and we have ours! (And the Cat-lics have their Pope!) How can this be?
