So, I've been reading and writing on these forums for over 10 years now, and how is it that bearbear is able to say in just a dozen or so words what I've trying to say for 10 years and probably over 100,000 words? It's just not fair I tell you, it's just not fair! Ok, Ok, it's fair... but only because God is making it fair. Otherwise...
Seriously though, "no longer is Jesus the source of divine revelation". Can we just stop right there my friends? Any church, group of churches or association of churches, or any ministry, or any man that has lost "Jesus as the source of divine revelation" is not worthy of our slightest attention, much less giving our hearts and souls to. Nuff said?

That's true for us. But members of the LRC keep on praising the Lord for He is still speaking to them. They also believe that Jesus is the source of divine revelation, therefore everything they hear at their conferences is the word of the Lord. The more conferences they have, the more the Lord speaks to them. I can't stop saying to my wife that it is not the word of God but one man's opinion about it. But it is useless to talk.
I just came back from the Lord's Table where they had a long "sermon", full of cliches: "exercise your spirit", "grow in life", "grow in the Church" (or in the church life - I didn't bother to listen), etc. That's just a lot of hot air, but the saints are confident that it is the Lord who speaks to them through the brothers. They believe their church is unique because it's only in the LRC where God is still speaking to His "chosen people". (BTW, which commandment is easier to fulfill: "exercise your spirit", "grow in the church" or "love thy neighbor as thyself"? I don't remember if I've ever heard the last phrase in the LRC).
Saints can't notice that they substituted the word of God (the Holy Bible) and their own word to God (their prayer) for someone else's talk about God. They take the life with man's interpretation of God for the life in and with God.
