Churches are churches. Co-workers are co-workers. Elders are elders. None of them are anyone's. But Lee presumes that because he uses the terminology of Paul in 1 Corinthians that not being according to his desire is to be divisive. And he then calls that one "a division."

All who work in serving the Lord are co-workers. But not all have practical access or contact with all such co-workers. But Lee has now insisted that to not be a division, you must stand with him.

And note that there is the underlying question that is begging to be asked. What are the churches that Lee is speaking of? Are they one with all other churches? Or only with their own kind? When they say "churches" do they mean all churches, or only those in the "recovery."

He rightly says that "all the churches are one Body," yet he does not see that the very stance of the "recovery" is to "stand alone, separate from . . . other churches." By his own words, the "recovery" is a division.

And at some level there is division all over Christianity. The LRC is just one more. Yet somehow they think that there is divine fairy dust that falls on them and makes their division entirely correct in every way and all others incorrect. Otherwise, their entire premise falls apart.

So they close their eyes to the contradiction that comes when you make the kinds of statements that Lee has just made.
