Let's look at this another way ...
I left the Recovery after 30 odd years mostly because the
"majoring in oneness theory" resulted in so many excommunications and divisions, and because so much unrighteousness within the Recovery was "justified with a self-serving pseudo-oneness."
The Catholic Church should have proven to us once and for all that pseudo-oneness, or as I prefer to say, distorted oneness can be used by evil leaders to accomplish the most horrific of evils upon the children of God. Pseudo-oneness is a fake oneness, a oneness in appearance only, a man-made uniformity, a pretense of the real thing.
Distorted oneness is far worse. It is used by men corrupt in conscience as a tool to silence the concerns of godly men crying out for righteousness. LSM is guilty of both forms of fake oneness.
Real oneness can never be orchestrated by a ministry headquarters. Real oneness is not even "of the body," as LSM loves to say, but real oneness is only "of the Spirit." The Lord prayed for this real oneness saying "
as the Father and the Son are one." Thus real oneness is built upon a relationship with the Father and the Son. This relationship requires obedience, which is the foundation of righteousness.
It's amazing now for me to see LSM's supporters condemn
"so many divisions within the body," when there are now
"so many divisions" in the Recovery itself. Isn't there a name for that? Something like hypocrisy?
