On preaching and the hearer's responsibilities.

I mock and belittle the 3 people who mock and belittle  the so called traditional church model. I have stated consistently here and on other threads my position on a house church.

Where have I mocked the traditional church model, or Rsc? We all know TRT has a different view. But since you are willing to clump us all together, where have I or Rsc attacked the traditional church veiw?
Then again we will have differing veiws on "traditional"

I didn't include you in the 3 people.
But you, r2 and Mater have the liberal definition of mocking, so they might add you as # 4.

You are either dishonest, dumb or in the 5th grade.
For all I know, maybe all three....

Can't be any worse than your congregation, right? I mean, that's what your signature is referring to, isn't it?

He's basically a caricature of a conservative evangelical as he presents himself on here.

So, you mock and belittle people in our church family.
I guess I gave you too much credit....3rd grade?

And you are basically a scorner.
I know because I read it in the fff, so it must be true!

I excuse Aleshanee, because she has not read Tozer and doesn't know any better.  And TRT, well, he's just a tool that likes to hate on authority structures.  Subllibrm has said that Tozer's word choice was poor, but he knows that Tozer didn't mean that he should have unchecked authority.  The bottom line is that Tozer was saying what the OP was saying, that Christians should listen to God's word and heed it when it is faithfully, authoritatively, and accurately proclaimed, rather than seeking to have their ears tickled or a dialogue to ascertain what each person around the kitchen table thinks it means to them.

you should know me well enough by now to understand that when i see... hear... or read something that i believe is wrong i am going to say something about it........ and it doesn;t matter to me whether the originator of that thought or statement is you.... tim lee... aw tozer.... my dads good friends or even my dad himself...... ..i don;t "walk back" my criticisms of something i believe came off the top of a mans head rather than from a heart led by scripture just because the head it came off of might belong to someone i highly respect......... .... in fact..... i;m many times more likely to question and challenge that person i respect the opinions of - than i am to be concerned over what someone i couldn;t care less about says or thinks.........

though i don;t know as much about tozer as you or mr bill bus does, after reading everything posted about him and by him in this thread so far i still feel the same way about his king comment i did in the beginning........  it was a careless statement that fueled the fires of both those who want to paint every christian pastor and preacher as a dictator "man-o-gawd" and also those who think the dictator mog model is exactly what a pastor should be...... .. and has a right to be... ......

it;s not the 99% of the times men are right that cause those who follow them to stumble.... it;s the 1% of the time they are wrong and can;t admit it...... or put another way...... a boat can be sound in 99.9% of it;s construction.... but all it takes is a pin hole in the hull going unaddressed to sink it.... 

I can agree with you that taken in isolation the quote could be interpreted to mean that Tozer is making it about himself, but just a very casual perusal of his writings will confirm that the meaning he intends is not some sort of claim to ultimate authority, but rather that God's word should be heeded when rightly proclaimed.  Given that truth, to knowingly take his words to mean something that stands in direct contradiction to what he believes is not advisable or prudent.  That's all I'm trying to say.  Could he have said it better?  Sure.  But what did he mean?  He didn't mean that he has any sort of complex akin to a Divine Right of Kings, which is what has been claimed by the rat.

What if said assembly of believers grow to a point and they break off and start another "home church" in another neighborhood?

If that's their prerogative then so be it.  What does that have to do with the thread?
