Anyone says that in all Christianity they alone are rightly positioned to see something, they're probably not rightly positioned. If you get my drift.

Reminds me of an old joke:
Fred: "Hey Joe, didya hear about the apostle John out there on Patmos, what he said about us? He said to repent - that we were entertaining Jezebel here! He said something about the deep teachings of Satan among us!"
Joe: "Nah, don't worry. He's writing about a church in a future age, some centuries from now. We're fine."
Fred: "Whew! I was worried about it for a minute".
Joe: "Yeah, the real meaning will be hidden for a long time until God raises up the Final Ministry of the Age"
