learning~teaching: who we are
Hyperlinks lead to the dialogue.
"By what
authority
do you do these things?"
"How is it that you appear here in God's house and declare that you have come down from heaven?"
"Teacher, we would have you give us a predetermined sign that we will agree upon as establishing your
authority
and right to teach. Will you agree to such an arrangement?"
"Teacher, we would like you to give us a sign of your authority to teach, and then, when the same shall come to pass, all men will know that you have been sent by God."
"Will you go back to the easy path of the certainty and intellectual settledness of the religion of traditional authority?"
“To honor God-knowing leaders of the past may be worthwhile, but why in so doing, should you sacrifice the supreme experience of human existence: finding God for yourselves and knowing him in your own souls?"
"But what chance does the Father have to appear as a God of supreme loyalties and divine ideals in the souls of men who give little or no time to the thoughtful contemplation of such eternal realities?"
