Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

Just as a note, it's interesting how the view of the church as an organization and a business is so prevalent here. I don't really see that within the church (though I guess that makes a bit of...

Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

countmeworthy,

I suppose you're technically right in what the question is asking. I used the term Babylon in the original post because from what I gathered about how WL did things, he referred to...

Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

The word pastor may be substituted for shepherd in other translations (this is NIV if you were wondering), but the meaning is the same.

2) God can move in different types of meetings. Each person...

Re: I love the local church

Imo any church that treats people with different opinions the way the LRC does is more than not for everyone...it is really not for anyone. That kind of behavior is detrimental to the church and the...

Re: I love the local church

The problem I have with LSM books is that they slant your view of Christianity in such a way that you can't help but agree with what LSM wants you to agree with. I think someone said that every loves...

Re: I love the local church

If denominations are bad then the LRC has much to improve upon. To me it seems like they are no more than the denominations they themselves claim to reject.

Haha I assure you I actually did expect a diverse array of responses. I just wanted to see where people were coming from with regards to their views on mainstream Christianity.

So often I have...

Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

Thanks for sharing.

Just a few things that were on my mind as I was reading that:


I feel that most Christian assemblies fully recognize the authority of God during services and whatnot, or at...

Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

Might I inquire as to how?

I realize that there are many flaws with the application of the elder/pastoral/deacon/whatever else system, but I think that stems out of the human sinful nature moreso...

Re: I love the local church

Also I feel semi obligated to note your prior experience with the Pentecostal church. It's very possible that this being your only other church experience other than the LRC could have shaped much of...

I too welcome you to the forum and encourage you to register.

I just wanted to address one of your points regarding all members prophesying. You said

Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

I believe the purpose for having a pastoral position is to have a speaker who has been trained in studying the Bible speak God's message to the members of the church. This is not meaning that...

How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

This was a question that I've wondered over the past few months. From the way some of you post, it seems as though you have a disdain for both the LRC and "mainstream" Christianity as well. I'm not...

Re: Full Theological Seminar - Local Churches

From my limited experience with the subject, this article is something held in high regard by the LRC as it "proves their authenticity" to "Babylon" via "Babylon" if that makes any sense. I know of...

Re: The Local Church Lexicon — Common Phrases

I'd like to if I was actually qualified to. I was never aggressively pursued or even pursued. I told them rather early on that I was part of another church and I guess that in itself was how I...

Re: The Local Church Lexicon — Common Phrases

Yeah I definitely noticed that as well. All of the opening events on campus were geared towards freshman and bringing them into the group.

Re: The Local Church Lexicon — Common Phrases

Though the LRC emphasis on WL and the exaltation his teachings kind of separates them from Lutherans, or Calvinists, or whatever else, doesn't it? People don't call churches like those you mentioned...

Not to mention the rest of Christianity not affiliated with anything in the LRC.

Re: The LRC Lexicon — Common Phrases

The law was never abolished, per say. Rather, it was fulfilled. Christ himself says so. So you're absolutely right, the claim is false. It's true in every translation...even the Recovery version.

Re: The LRC Lexicon — Common Phrases

Maybe it's just the experiences I have had with LRC members, but every time I hear "God's economy" I kinda twitch a little. Although the essence of God's economy is valid, just the way I've heard it...

Re: The LRC Lexicon — Common Phrases

Here's a term that seems to be exclusive to the LRC: economy. That is, God's economy. Don't really hear that anywhere else.
