Re: What the Gospel means to me
My friend Scribe,
You seem to be a bit of a "one trick pony". Now that's all well and good except for the fact that neither the pony nor the trick fits into this thread very well. This forum exists as a community of former and current members of the Local Churches associated with the ministry of Witness Lee (and Watchman Nee). I stood up for your right to post as you wish on the "Blogosphere" (and will continue to do so), but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to keep your pony and his one trick at bay here on this thread. You seem like a pretty smart fellow - you know what I mean when I say The Gospel, and you know what I mean when I talk about "Lee's gospel". Your last post simple ignored these facts and continued on your merry way.
You also have failed to address my contention that the apostle Paul stated that The Gospel (the one I am talking about) is of "first importance". Maybe you have a larger grasp on the Greek text then I do - if so please let me and others in on your insight. My contention is that there is NO FURTHER GOSPEL to be taught or preached then that what is related to us in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The apostle Paul plainly related this very fact to us. My contention is that Witness Lee went further then what is plainly related to us in the Word of God as it relates to The Gospel. I think you know this by now. If you have a retort to my contention then have at it - no problemo. But please leave the one pony and his one trick out of your reply.
