Default Re: The Psalms are the word of Christ

I think it's also important to add that when you come down from the mountain with a fresh word from the Lord, i.e. a genuine and novel experience in God's Word of God's Christ, there is always the danger that you've been led astray, or at least that you only see in part. That is where the ekklesia comes in. The fellowship will test, or try, your Word and see of what sort it is.

Lee rejected this protective oversight of the ekklesia. In his schema the Church had to listen to him, not vice versa. So he opened himself to uncorrected error, which I think also to led many astray, who likewise held him as "God's oracle."

Again, only Jesus is "God's Oracle". Only Jesus is the "Faithful and True Witness" (Rev. 1:5) whose speaking is tantamount to God's speaking on the earth today (Heb. 1:2).
