I guess some chose to believe what Jesus said, and some chose to follow man’s wisdom or worse. Maybe it’s just to simple of a concept to grasp, and just like many religions in the world, local church wanted to fit in and fill the void of Christianese version, for those who love other gods and want to be one!🤔
P.S
I see comments on YouTube that state: “the author of the content is taking things out of context quoting Lee in these videos”, but when pressed to show where, they flee back into the darkness. It must be peaceful in there, you can’t see anything or anyone.

Lovenottheworld,
Welcome to the forum (unless.....have you posted before?)!
As far as I'm concerned, this verse renders the thought that the fruit was the cause of the defilement of man impossible. The fruit, that which went in, would not defile man; it is what came out of man - the choice to disobey, the sinful action - that defiled him.
I scroll through the comments on that channel and other channels sometimes, and all I've seen on TLRU are things like "you don't know anything" or "you are taking out of context" or another which gave me a chuckle was the implication that a "negative" video actually would be evidence that Lee was a faithful minister. But they are all one-and-done comments - none of them provide any information to support their comment or consider that maybe they have it backwards. On another channel there actually was lots of back-and-forth discussion about what "life matters but truth matters more" means, but again, none of the LC people would face the implication of what they were espousing.
I have brought several LC-ers to the edge of darkness, where it turns to light, but they all get agitated and close up the conversation and run away, rather than step into the light. It's really something to witness. I know the Lord is arranging things and working in everyone, but it's hard for me to trust the Lord when His ways always feel like they are slower than I'd like for so many people!
