Who is asking that we blindly accept that Jonathan Cahn has the mind of Christ? Certainly not Nell. She has plainly stated that she is just interested in his prophecies, and maybe to see a general turn towards God in our country.(gasp) I don't see where she is proposing that American become some Christian theocracy. Now maybe some of you out there feel like Cahn would put us on the slippery slope towards that end, but if any of you really think that one prayer breakfast speech from some obscure Messianic Jewish rabbi is going move the dial more than one micron, you are absolutely mistaken.

Someone, preferably UntoHim, please provide an answer. Given the Shemitah, and coming judgement, claimed by Cahn, this is of vital importance. We really need to know if Cahn has the mind of Christ.

No, you are the one saying this is of vital importance, not Nell, and not me. I brought up "the mind of Christ" as a reaction to your post:

Actually, according to the apostle Paul, "we have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor 2:15), and this is not something in the abstract, but is absolutely related to the knowledge of God's Word. And guess what?...This having "the mind of Christ" is also related to judgment - check out the word immediately preceding: "The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?".

I believe those who "have the mind of Christ" in verse 16 are "the mature" in verse 6 and "the spiritual" in verse 15. Read the entire chapter, it's only 16 verses. As Mike points out, there is an argument to be made that the wider context of the surrounding chapters may indicate that Paul was speaking of himself, or maybe teachers in general. I think I'm going to stick with the immediate context of chapter 16 itself.
