Wow! This is a stunning statement. Truly a doctrine of demons if ever there was one. Whose church is it anyway? Yours? Is that your decision to make? “Sin in the church is Ok by me.”
Do you have verses supporting your apathy toward sin in the church of Jesus? He came to save his people from their sin.
Unbelievable. Are you reading your own words? Would you marry such a bride? Do you think Jesus is OK with Laodicea?
The church, if it is the church, is spotless and without wrinkle.
Galatians 5:9
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump is a metaphor the apostle Paul uses to compare the effects of false teaching in the church to the results of yeast in bread dough (Galatians 5:9). Just as a small amount of yeast will make a whole loaf of bread rise, a little bit of legalistic teaching will quickly spread, infiltrating the hearts and minds of individual believers until the entire church is contaminated.

Witness Lee leavened the whole loaf, and you, Jay, are adding your own leaven.
