One New Man And Not Show Your Person

Yeah, until now I feel that LSM and Lee's teaching are not biblical.

One New Man And Not Show Your Person

So you’re saying that both letters speak to collective life (meaning being conformed to the same standard according to the “church” and that only Christ can be expressed in the “church life” meaning LSM churches? I’m not sure I’m following.

Did you read both of these letters in their entirety and that is what you believe to be the message?

One new man has itself continuation in Colossians 3:10-11. In these verses, it's talking about Christ is all in all, that is only Christ can be expressed in the Church life and the meaning of new man is not mere individual transformation in each spiritual life but collective life. It seems that every one in the Church (under the direction of LSM) must be conformed to the same standard according to what Lee want, I guess.

TS,

Did you ask her what she's talking about? Anyone who uses such terminology should be clear about what they mean, and, in this case, should be able to speak clearly enough that you can understand what they're talking about. We can speculate on these two Witness Lee teachings, but I suggest instead that you put her on the spot.

Have you read the letter to the Ephesians? How does scripture align with her thoughts or comments on the one new man?

So what do they mean by the 'one new man?'
