Re: No Place Like Hell

SC, manna-man, zeek, Timotheist and anyone who has similar considerations

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I too, have pondered this question... but at the end of the day all that really...

Re: BREAKING Watchman Nee and Witness Lee aren't in the Bible

I disagree. To my observation, with an occasional exception, a basic and most fundamental exhortation by the leading brothers is for every believer to read, study, pray, contact the Lord everyday,...

Re: BREAKING Watchman Nee and Witness Lee aren't in the Bible

"The genuine ground of oneness is in the Triune God, accepting...

Re: Looking for Some Guidance or an Example of Others Leaving The Recovery

Right. I wasn't there but there is no need to threaten anyone. There may be rules to participate in the training but I don't think missing a session = missing the Rapture. Not at all.

Re: Looking for Some Guidance or an Example of Others Leaving The Recovery

Raptor,

Re: Looking for Some Guidance or an Example of Others Leaving The Recovery

Oh, I thought you caught my reference to Message 58 of the Life-study of Revelation in the note I posted and were looking for the page reference.

Re: BREAKING Watchman Nee and Witness Lee aren't in the Bible

Absolutely. The Bible is the sole source and basis for revelation, teaching, doctrine, practices, etc.

The Bible (Ephesians 4 verses quoted below) shows that each member of the Body is given...

Re: BREAKING Watchman Nee and Witness Lee aren't in the Bible

We believe all believers are members of the universal Body of Christ and members of the church in the city in which they live because those are accomplishments of Christ the Head.

We also believe...

Re: Looking for Some Guidance or an Example of Others Leaving The Recovery

BB,

Not the same. As a born-again believer you could miss the rapture but still would not go to hell. In Message 58 of the Revelation Life-study training you were in the matter of eternal...

Re: BREAKING Watchman Nee and Witness Lee aren't in the Bible

Agree with SC and would add this clarification to also address Zezima's base post:

Zezima> "The Lord’s Recovery believes that their church in the city, is the only real church in that city."

Re: Looking for Some Guidance or an Example of Others Leaving The Recovery

LeftLR,

Did many people tell you that? If so, many people were wrong to say it and wrong in the fact.

Re: Biblical evidence for becoming God in life & nature?

I'll rephrase and try to say it more succinctly. The eternal God, the Word of God, the Creator, joined Himself to the creature - through incarnation. In so joining, the essence of the...
