Re: Regarding The Mission and Operation of this Forum

I agree Jay has a mindset that we can all recognize from the LC and should be welcomed.

I don't think anyone necessarily thinks it's a right to be able to post here. I've always known this whole...

Re: Regarding The Mission and Operation of this Forum

TheStarsWillFall,

I see you joined the forum recently, but I am not sure if you were reading/lurking for much prior to it?

Re: What is God's Economy?

Thankful, to be clear, the post that Nell cited was made in response to their actions, i.e., after ACF was moderated. So that was his reaction to being moderated.

Moderating involves being unable...

Question Regarding The Mission and Operation of this Forum

There are posts by Evangelical on this very thread that are worse than Jay's that went through without the bat of an eye or a whiff of moderation. EvanG called people "delusional" and after being...

Re: What is God's Economy?

You are right, the sticking point is how the LC does it. Exactly. And the reason it's a sticking point is not because we love bashing the LC. The reason it's a sticking point is because the...

Re: What is God's Economy?

I'm not aware of a post where I, Trapped, have bashed you, Jay. Can you give me an example? If so, I am happy to apologize. Generally I try to make it a point to deal with the teachings and...

Re: What is God's Economy?

Wait a minute. So even though the Bible plainly shows in 1 Kings 18 what calling on the name of the Lord is (it's not calling over and over) and even though the Bible condemns vain repetitions...

Re: Open - Interactive Letter to The Co-Workers in The Lord's Recovery

Ah, I see what you mean. I think that flew over most forum members' heads. Based on others' responses, it sounded to several of us, including me, like you were making a blanket statement that you...

Re: Open - Interactive Letter to The Co-Workers in The Lord's Recovery

I agree every teacher and theologian should be questioned/scrutinized.

From the perspective of a saint within the local church, to find out that even one of Nee/Lee's doctrine is wrong is earth...

Re: Open - Interactive Letter to The Co-Workers in The Lord's Recovery

Oneness does have much to do with good works. The Bible is clear about it once you look into it. However, my explanation was a summary of my impression of someone else's explanation, so that...

Re: Open - Interactive Letter to The Co-Workers in The Lord's Recovery

You mentioned the conflation of the ground of oneness with the ground of the church in the video. I think ACuriousFellow has already brought up a ministry quote that shows it is conflated/equated...
