Sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't do any posting, etc, during
Holy Week, and now that Pascha has passed, and I'm caught up on all my
work, etc, I have some time to post (as opposed to just do the moderation).

So who gets this special revelation? And why do so many who claim to
have the Holy Spirit (even very godly living men and women) come to such
diverse understandings of the scriptures? And not only diverse, but flat-
out contradictory.

How do we judge between two people who claim alternate, and incompatible
understandings of the Scriptures?
