Re: Witness Lee's economy
"God's Economy" has never really meant anything to me. It seems like it's just become a catch-all phrase that sounds important. I hear things like "such and such a teaching is not God's economy" or "they aren't following God's economy". What it all boils down to is the term means absolutely nothing and it isn't even used in a way to mean what WL said it means.
Someone could just as easily say something like "they aren't following the minsitry" instead of "they aren't following God's economy". I guess it sounds more important if they say "God's Ecomony". Since it isn't even clear what the term means, it seems like it also serves the purpose of keeping anyone from arguing with statements like that, because how can people address or argue a statement that has no concrete meaning?
