As Ohio said, these accounts are descriptions of events that happened in time. They are not supposed to be prescriptions, slavishly followed even to the point of absurdity. If we use the "letter of Paul" to quench the "Spirit of Jesus" we may say that we are following the Bible, but what have we really accomplished?

I am reading "The Four Blood Moons" by John Hagee. (Great read btw!) I had to ponder [& chuckle (due to our experience with the LC) when he wrote the following:

Don't ever forget: Jesus was murdered by the pride of the self-righteous religious leaders of the recognized church in Jerusalem.

Does that not fit the LSM under Nee but especially Lee's leadership? Our Precious King Jesus was kicked out by the self-righteous religious leaders of the recognized church in Anaheim (primarily).

_Lord Jesus. You are still and always will be our Glorious King, Saviour, our Fortress, our High Tower, our Strength, the Love of our lives, our Wonderful Counselor, GOD and Father of Truth Whose Spirit leads us and guides us in the path of Righteousness in perfect Love and Peace._ Amen.

Blessings all,
