Re: "Processed Triune God"

Below is a snippet from the site (https://agodman.com/the-triune-god-went-through-a-process-economically-and-became-the-spirit-john-739/) that looks to be a good summary of what the LC believes:

Re: "Processed Triune God"

Right...in other words, without the work of Christ -- incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection -- He would not have been able to say "it is finished". Now, the veil has been torn down and fellowship...

Re: "Processed Triune God"

Thank you so much for the links and the input. Very much agree with everything you said, esp that God has never changed. He is the same from eternity past to eternity future. He has not evolved...

Re: "Processed Triune God"

Appreciate the input, Trapped. The essence of what you said reminded me of some verses.

Malachi 3:6a - "For I the Lord do not change."

Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and...

Re: "Processed Triune God"

I tend to agree. I've listened to Walter Martin's lecture from the 70s concerning modalism as it pertains to WL's teachings...and have also read various books/articles....but I have not seen anyone...

Re: "Processed Triune God"

Agree completely, 100%....as stated clearly in Hebrews.

I wonder how those still in the LC think about this. Why is it the teaching of the processed Triune God such a great thing and a tremendous...

Re: "Processed Triune God"

Thank you, Zezima, for your response. But, wait, what you stated is the principal of "substitutionary atonement", or "justification", "reconciliation", no?

How would you explain how salvation...

Re: "Processed Triune God"

Thanks for the input. I have mainly two reasons I raised this topic.

#1 - To those that were or are still in the LC, what does the concept "Processed Triune God" mean to you in your own words? I...

"Processed Triune God"

I know there have been numerous discussions over the past several decades concerning WL's interpretation of the Trinity versus orthodox views. But no matter how the local church spins it, WL's...

Re: Ekklesia gathering, home meetings, Ekklesia in homes, christian meeting

I believe there is a brother (Thomas) in the California Bay Area who is hosting home meetings similar to what you described.

His story is on the below site:

New Way vs "Old Way"

Sorry if there has already been a previous thread about this. I left the Lord's Recovery in the late 80s, pretty much after the integration/implementation of the New Way. In hindsight, the New Way...

Re: What happened to Dan Towle?

From time to time, out of curiosity of what's going on in the LC these days, I occasionally watch snippets of videos from their various websites or on youtube, etc. It seems in recent years, most of...

Re: What happened to Dan Towle?

Sorry to hear that....but if this mental hardship happened as a result of the Lord mercifully enlightening him (as you implied), then this is a praise.

His son was a friend of mine through the...

Re: What happened to Dan Towle?

He was a long-time "leading brother" / elder from Fullerton, CA. Prominent during the New Move and was one of the main FTT trainers. Big-time supporter of WL and LSM. From what I saw firsthand as...

What happened to Dan Towle?

I heard recently that Dan Towle left the Recovery a number of years ago? Is that true? If so, does anyone know what happened?

I'm rather surprised if this is true, esp considering how fiercely...

Re: Church kid from the 80s (Anaheim)

I think the true benefit of this forum only comes when everyone has an “iron sharpen iron” mentality, and that none of us are correct on everything. We all have something to learn in our spiritual...
