Re: Greetings from NYC!
In which case I apologize for doing so. I was mistaken in my accusation and should have been more clear in focusing more on the teaching aspect rather than the person himself. And thanks. Same here.

Re: Greetings from NYC!
Fair enough so maybe idol worship is pushing it. But that being said, there are plenty of anecdotes about how Witness Lee is considered more holy than he really should be. I just would prefer not to...

Re: Greetings from NYC!
Yes....which was my frickin' point concerning Witness Lee lol. There's nothing wrong with Witness Lee being used to build God's Kingdom. The problem comes when you equate the two even tangentially.

Re: Greetings from NYC!
Well, they say things like people must only use Brother Lee's teachings, that any other scripture is anathema to the building of the Lord's Recovery, things like that. (I would go further but this...

Re: Greetings from NYC!

Re: Greetings from NYC!
The problem isn't using mortal man's teachings to educate us in the Lord - far from it. Indeed, we need people to educate us about the Bible and guide us towards better understanding of the Bible. 1...

Re: Greetings from NYC!
That sounds awesome. I hope that whatever church I attend in the future has such things because who doesn't like free food? In all seriousness, what I love about churches outside of the Local Church...
