And as much as possible, the theologians would do better to not argue as much as listen and consider.

Thinking for yourself is a skill not a trick. Anybody with average intelligence can learn to do it with some degree of success. Deferring to others is what got us into Witness Lee's movement. Theologians do not remove the necessity of doing one's own thinking from one's own unique point of view. Nobody else can do it for you. You've got to do it for yourself.
