Point number 1. Can't Mix Oil and Water- this to me is in line with
Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
The co-workers, elders, and responsible ones want the saints to be submissive to their authority as deputies authorities of God. You cannot fear God and man at the same time. You cannot serve to masters. Who is the head? Is it God or is it "oneness with the brothers". This leads into the next point.
Point number 2. Where did all the men of God go? It goes back to Matthew 6:24. Realizing they cannot serve two masters. Those that fear God and hold God as the head, know they cannot stay. To stay in the Lord's Recovery movement would require them to ignore their conscience and live a conflicted life. I truly believe this is why many brothers and sisters in the Local Churches have had nervous breakdowns among other mental health illnesses. I wonder, how many dear saints kept their thoughts and feelings suppressed only to be manifested in bipolar disorder?
If one fears God, they will not make that choice. Unfortunately many of us have feared man for too long before waking up.
Point number 3. "Once the helper comes". I am not sure what exactly is meant, but for me when one spends more time reading the Bible and less time reading the ministry, you begin to see more clearly how practices and teachings in The Lord's Recovery movement does not match scripture.
Point number 4. "The barricade of the river of life" The notion one must have oneness with the brothers (aka feeling of the Body) quenches lead of the Holy Spirit. Yes, there were times I thought while in the Local Churches, we should spend less time reading the ministry publications and more time praying for one another. This unyielding devotion to a man's ministry is not an excercise of liberty, but a yoke of slavery.
Galations 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
