RobeFRe said in response to a comment 'God of Person before God of group?'at Theo


most always by record as read

Adam
Enoch
Abraham
Moses
Samuel
Daniel
Mary
Matthew
The Samaritan Woman

All these had personal relationships with God who then sometimes used them to minister to the group.
Since the veil was wrent in two the relationship seems meant to be even more intensely personal again. I would say God of Person then God of Group. The role of group being fluid as to the individual need for relationship with God.
The organized group being unwieldy by size and need for tradition would generally be able to maintain the record of truth over time in better stead than the individual. But I am sure that this is not my blogspot, so I relinquish the floor for the purpose of a heightened personal, individual as well as group, relationship with God.
