You keep sneaking this concept in here. Where are you getting 'exalt' from?

Neither are you and I. But you insist you need me and I need you. Why are these uninspired men behind the pulpit different to YOU?
I was going to respond to more of your post, but the majority of your verses and arguments had to do with things we are in complete agreement on.
You see, Clay, I've never denied the importance of the body. I've never rejected your view of 'one another'. I've never denied that you and I can share and learn from each other.
Where you and I differ, is that somehow when an uninspired man gets behind a pulpit and explains the word, somehow he is being regarded as different from the rest of us. I don't believe that. You believe that.
In fact, I find your position a bit confusing, because you believe that I, an uninspired man, can teach you. Yet if I got up in the pulpit and tried to teach you, suddenly I am disqualified.
What is it about the pulpit that makes a difference?
The people you claim you need are just as uninspired as the man behind the pulpit.
Can you help me here?
Ray
