Well I can't find that particular book online, it does show that that book is in Lee's collection. But I have no way to read it to verify if that is exactly what he said. Not calling you a liar or anything, but I just want to read it myself. But I went to one of his titles called 'The genuine ground of the church.' In chapter 4 he seems to differentiate between the ground of the church and the ground of oneness; "This is the place of God’s choice, the unique place He has chosen for keeping the oneness." Maybe the LC are conflating the two. Or maybe I'm wrong for NOT conflating the two. But as far as I know they are two different things. I think Lee's thought is that unless one comes to God's unique place of meeting that it's impossible to keep the oneness. He mentions that the reason why Christians shop around for a church that suits them is because of their own selfish and lustful desires in ways of worship. To seek out a church that suits you is something of the soul, not something of the spirit. That sounds agreeable. Either way you can't discount Deuteronomy 12:11 which clearly says that God has a unique place of meeting. And you simply can't say that the New Testament doesn't give us a very clear example of that with the local churches in Acts and the epistles
