You have to be cautious with who you listen to ...but mostly when listening to yourself.

"It may appear they are following Jesus' direction as described in the Book of Luke, Chapter nine, verse five:  And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.   We may say we have the same source of truth, but still pose great differences.  Now, I feel that I understand what Jesus meant here, just as you may feel you know what He meant.  Yet, in the event that my interpretation and your interpretation are different, I would have to ask if you claim to have ordained authority.   And if that be your claim, be careful not to hold your self-ordained authority over Christ's.  For I would have to ask one more thing:  The next time you shake the dust from your sandals, I caution you, for the vigor by which you bid their good riddance, may cause such a cloud of confusion that the dust gets in your eyes ---or a mote, or a beam ---so much so, as to cloud your vision …or perhaps ultimately destroy it.   Then you would not be a testimony to God, but merely to yourself only."
