''should be determined by consensus of the congregation and not by scripture.''

who do you think decided scripture was 'scripture'?

a consensus of congregated people

who do you think the Vatican and the Pope are?

a congregation of people

------

if you want other people to tell you what you should do and what is sacred and what is profane, to decide things for you, that's up to you

but if that's up to you, shouldn't other people get that right? the right to distinguish the sacred from the profane?

as for a consensus, if one man is right and everyone else is wrong, than he must be

'a majority of one' -Henry David Thoreau

JC knew this and bucked everyone, all the religious leaders of the time and even his own followers
