Re: Quotes and Quips
Thanks Ohio! Always nice to see someone is actually paying attention! Hey, just goes to show you that one can't believe everything they see on the Internet!
Anyways, I thought this quote is quite applicable for us current and former members of the Local Church of Witness Lee. Lee and his followers have forever made it their mission to tear down all the fences erected by "poor, poor Christianity" with little to no care for the safety and guidance they have provided over the centuries.
When one goes about tearing down the theological fences erected over the centuries without any regard for the reasons and purposes for which they were erected, one can easily find themselves teaching and believing all sorts of heretical and crazy things. You know, like believing your church is the only legitimate church, and that all other Christian churches are illegitimate daughters of the Great Whore. That Protestantism is christless. That your "apostle" is the only person speaking as God's oracle on earth. That you are becoming God in life and nature. That Jesus Christ became the Holy Spirit. And of course the list goes on. May God have mercy.
