Greetings Ohio,
I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment! People are taught to live by the Spirit and to walk by Faith. All scriptural and Truth. But when we "lowly" saints did, "no. No. That is not the way it done".
There is a person I fellowship with who is not happy in her LSM locality but still loves Lee's and Nee's teachings. Can never find ANYTHING wrong with the LSM ministry. Although the lack of a living church life depresses her.
I want to give an example of the spirit of control over her. She reads the RCV, life messages, footnotes. Etc.. I use a number of translations but mostly KJ, NASB followed by the NLT. (New Living Translation). I also reference the Amplified.
Ron Kangas has referenced the Amplified. So while this person foes not regard highly the KJ, NASB or the NLT, she does like the Amplified. Uh-huh.
That said, this person does listen to Christian radio and likes a lot of what she hears but is a die hard Lee follower.
