A Philadelphia Apologetic

     This apology makes in part the case for revelation coming through realization. It will use words that even today conceal as much knowledge as these words reveal; for unless a person is in the same reader community that I am, the person will not read texts the same way I do. That is, unless the person has been born of God and is part of Philadelphia, that small flock of "little power" (Rev 3:8), the person can see how I read texts, might even appreciate how I read texts, but won't necessarily agree with my readings. Those who are the seed of the Adversary will even vigorously disagree.
     Although every text will support more than one reading, no text will support every reading. Individuals who argue for a single authoritative reading of Scripture are, probably, disappointed by the denominationalism that has fractured the visible Christian church, the corpse of Christ. These individuals usually believe that they have found the truth, and all who disagree with them are wrong and are part of an apostate church. Such individuals have yet to realize how little they know even when they hold a facet of Truth.
